That's awesome! Nice work.
How about a magnet? Weld a tab behind the door and glue a magnet to it, then the door rests against while it's closed.

I was gonna say the same thing, and suggest the same thing.

Check out these guys for magnets. K&J Magnets
They make those neodymium magnets in all shapes and sizes. Gonna warn ya though, they are kind of addictive. Especially when playing with the bigger ones.

Also, I don't know where you live, or if you get rain, but you may want to put some plexiglass in the windows so the mail doesn't get wet. Just a thought.

Nice job.

I'll third the rare earth magnet idea.
How about some stained glass for the widows?

[Mr.F]

Stained glass would rock - but $$$$. If you can find Krylon Fusion spray paint and give a light even coat to plexi, it looks similar. Nice work !

colored glass isn't THat expensive, Iv'e looked into stained glass as a new hobby before to do with my wife, looks really cool and a relatively cheap hobby!

of course your suggestin is probably cheaper and easier.

I used to do stained glass before welding. Glass can be cheaper than plexi these days. I'd bring the holy postal to your local stained glass artist. They'd get a kick out of your piece and they'd probably have some scrap they'd give you, or for real cheap. Could also try the local supplier. They often have breakage you can get for cheap or free.
Transparent color with some pattern or texture would be nice. GNA (German Nouveau Antique) would be nice.
Good luck

Very nice work, and the flag cross is cool, too.

Btw, for those of you who are interested, that's known as a Celtic cross. The circle behind the cross is meant to represent the sun, as Saint Michael had it in Ireland.

thanks for all the replys. ill check some local shops for glass thanks bert
god bless
