The Tin Can Globe

Well the building is underway and going pretty well. Pics here to show progress. More to follow soon. Big problem has been that it is nearly the end of January and feels like sub Arctic conditions. Freezing my nuts off. Plus nothing is standard. Pallets aren't all the same size neither are tin cans and neither are the other waste materials being used, have to adapt and modify design all the time. Also as one bystander said to me "You may be a bloody good actor but you are a rubbish carpenter!" How right he is but at least people can get the idea and are very interested in whats going on.

After the Christmas break and now we are into New Year building has finally started on the Tin Can Globe (Dragon's Den). Nothing on site yet as need to make frames to hold the raw recycled materials which with the sub Arctic temperatures is very difficult - Bit of work - freeze knuckles off - back inside for a warm up and then back out again. Confident though that should be at the Museum In The Park in the next week with walls going up. All I need now are a few more tin cans! If you've got any and live in the area then take them to the museum in Stroud. Someone will find somewhere to put them - One important thing - wash don't squash - need them whole!!
