Howdy from Japan! BTW, I like your snowflake candle holder 'ible - reminds me of the baseball caps a friend of the family used to make from pop cans when I was a kid.

Thank you. :D - Its an original design I came up with.

Do you recall how the baseball caps looked or how they were made? I don't think I've ever seen anything like that. Sounds interesting.

This is pretty close to what they looked like:

More like an engineer's hat, although I see on the net that some people make baseball caps too.

Thanks for sharing the link. That's actually really neat looking. I wouldn't have thought about using yarn or some other thread to link the parts.

btw, I noticed on your profile that you like to make furniture and like reclaimed wood for that purpose. I thought I would share with you my dad's furniture project. He just joined Instructables. I wanted him to join because of all the woodworking he does. I think you might like it. Plus he's already working on his next project.

Here's the link if you want to take a look. :D

May I ask when did you graduate animation class?
Just curious. :)
I graduated some time in 2003.
I'm also Canadian.
Just thought I throw that in. :)

>May I ask when did you graduate animation class?
In the dark ages before video... I studied animation and filmmaking when it was Super 8mm back in the mid '80s.
