New project: Little Free Library

This new project is really a two-parter. It involves a Little Free Library station and a tin man to stand guard.

 

Part 1: A stationary bookmobile

Joan and I are joining the Little Free Library group. We will build a tiny library box (about 40 books) and put in the front yard near the printing press (so appropriate). Anyone can take a book. It's just a source of free books, and it seems like a neighborly thing to do. 

If you're already caught up in the excitement, here's the link to the Little Free Library Website:

Part 2: How to scare little children

A strange-looking, robot-like metal man will stand guard behind the library. That's the second project; it will use only (mostly?) old objects and parts and junk—as pictured below:

 

If you look carefully, you can see the tin-man’s supporting stand (from an old drill press) and two tubular legs.
