Mailbox Woods project

As I was riding my bike through a neighborhood it came to my attention that all the mailboxes were very similar with the exception of their color. Not only did all the houses look alike the mailboxes did too. If your living situation is similar to this, wouldn't it be nice to have some individuality? Some things to consider prior to construction: 1) Are there size requirements for mailboxes  2) Does the flag have to be red  3) Does the flag have to be a 90 degree pivot lever arm? 4)What type of building materials would be appropriate?

After some initial research, sketch out 5 ideas for mailboxes you would consider making, list construction materials, develop 1 idea using technical drafting techniques (orthographic, isometric), get approval from instructor.

  1. It may be interesting to model mailbox construction after Saratoga historical homes!
