Great way to use the PO box doors. I like the combination of walnut and maple. Personalized! WOW! AND teaching your grandkids to save $$$$$. Terrific all 'round!!!

Gene,
Great job on the banks/trucks. I like the side plates with names, good idea !
They are fun to build, and I am sure the kids will love them : )

Gene, these are great projects. Where can I get some of those PO boxes?

Mine came from a remodel of a post office. You can buy them at Rockler, though.

I have a few things my grandfather made, I count them among my most prized possessions. Right up there with his (now mine) Stanley Router plane!

Your grandchildren will enjoy those greatly, probably even more one day in the future.

Gene, I've made a couple of stalled attempts at designing and making these. The one that didn't stall became a bank that's NOT a truck. It's in my website. Did you design them, or did you use someone else's brain? They're lovely, and just the thing I was after.
