Very Special Wooden Coin Bank - Made using PO Box door from 1958

[@MakeThings]

Beautiful man...but how did you incorporate the skoal can into the final design? 3:08 😂 Only kidding. I don’t know why you’ve reserved most videos to your lathe, I think the scale models you make of various items are absolutely breathtaking with the detail you put in (of course, not implying your turning videos aren’t anything other than incredible). Great video!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Rob! I use those cans for finishing pucks. Saves me having to buy them. ;-) I made that decision because the other videos just weren't and aren't getting the views. Once things pick up it might be different. That said, I appreciate the kind remarks. The two scale models were actually fun to make, probably because of the challenge of not having done anything like that before. Billy

Thank you, Steve! Billy

[@ronswoodturningshopandstuf5759]

I think as makers we should be able to branch out and do things in all the directions our minds take us. Not just turning a bowl or pen because your channel says ‘woodturning’. Well done Breaux! I will be doing lots of flat stuff on my channel and woodturning.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Ron, and for what it's worth, I wholeheartedly agree. Billy

[@williamellis8993]

Great project, Billy. Congratulations to her and I'm sure she will like it. I always enjoy your non-turning videos and this was no exception.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, William! She loves it! I appreciate the kind remarks, as well. Billy

Nice job on that mailbox Billy. Very cool indeed. Nice way to get the curved top using staves. I cut thousands of staves as a wood pattern maker. Warmed my heart to see you do it that way. Take care my friend, Gary

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Gary. It was the best way I could think of to do it. Billy

[@hoshiandreeramirezhernande9682]

That’s beautiful! I found one of these in a garage sale, does anyone know how can I “crack” the combination?

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you! Look at the back and turn it until the slots line up. You'll have to turn it several turns to the right first. Then to the left and go one full revolution past that first letter. Then back to the right until the last open spot lines up with the others. Billy

[@hoshiandreeramirezhernande9682]

Billy Burt I’ll be trying that one sir! Thank u

[@eo1scwmwf]

That is awesome Billy. Where did you get the old P.O. Box door?

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Michael! I got it from one of my customers, but I've seen them in lots of ten or more on Ebay. Billy

[@exotictones1054]

Nice job on the post office door n box billy.i did one of those years ago n I have another but couldn't sell em so never used the second one.maybe some day.lll

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks, Mike! I understand that. I have two left, but no interest other than from the lady who gave them to me so here they sit. 👍 Billy

[@jimrenderer6627]

Where do you get the P.O.Box doors ?

[@TheMessyStudio]

Jim, these were given to me, but I've found them on ebay for about $10 each... usually in lots of 10 or more. Billy

[@theotherwhitemeat4192]

Neet, gives me some ideas.
