This massive magnum mailbox is a replica of the ‘Dirty Harry’ Smith & Wesson firearm built by a 49-year-old New Jersey man, Roger Buchko as a challenge and to promote his cabinet making and metal fabrication.
According to NY Daily, Buchko says he was just hoping to attract some attention to his cabinet-making and metal fabrication business when he built a sidearm fit for Paul Bunyan.
The truck-sized sidearm weighs about 350 pounds and sits on a 1,200-pound steel base on his front lawn in the Lopatcong Township in rural New Jersey.
Buchko said he saw a similar project online and thought he could build it better. His neighbor donated the eight-inch PVC pipe for the barrel, and he built the rest from plywood scrap he had lying around.
