OP that is a fine looking mailbox.

Good thing you live in town. On a county road that is just illuminating the target.....

Yep. On my road that'd last most of the first night. Dang redneck kids!

I laughed at that one to, it would be funny to build one with a lighted bull's-eye on it with a video camera on it

You would be correct, Mr Shorty himself aka kevinita is my boy, love that guy!!!

The sign frame was designed on the computer as well as the lighted box with the numbers and I built a cut file for them and cut, bent on a brake and welded it all together. The lighting itself is simply LED lighting running on a battery charged up by a mini solar panel. I've actually built a different file for it and its going to be replaced within a few weeks.

I've been bit by the LED lighting bug and have built all sorts of lighted projects around here from the mailbox, flowerbed artsy stuff to a backyard kitchen "Ruby's Grill" sign that is programmable with remote control which has thousands of colors, fading, flashing, etc. etc. and I'm working on an animated Christmas scene with these programmable lights that will have moving parts from motors, actuators and a small computer I love building different stuff combining metal, electronics and lighting.

Here is a pic of the backyard kitchen sign using the LED's, it changes colors automatically but I don't know how to upload a video on here so its just a snap shot. The cord you can see inside it has been moved, pic was taken as soon as it was hung up and not finished. Im about to skin it in old barn wood to match the kitchen. My pop is about to buy a cnc router table so when he does that then the coolness factor of some of my builds is about to get to a whole new level , metal, wood and computers = AWESOMNESS!!
