so very cool! to see 2.

That video was absolutely awesome! I need to build two toy soldiers to stand outside an old-fashioned toy store in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. No plastic toys will be sold there. They will only commission handcrafted works. Right now, everything is in the production stage, nothing is set in stone. I had in my head that I was going to build a couple of these out of 12-inch PVC water pipe and 4-inch PVC drain pipe. Before I got started, I thought I'd look to see if anyone had a better idea. Wow! What a better idea! The 12-inch water pipe was way too expensive for a prototype. Maybe later, but for now, I think I'd better stick with this cheaper version of the design instead. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity with the rest of us online. It is much appreciated!

I made a totem pole by stacking coffee containers. I had a dickens of a time locking them together. Your zip tie idea is awesome! I will add that I had to add dirt in the bottom to keep the pole from tottering in the Oklahoma winds!

I'll store the idea away for another time though..... that endless list of "ooh, I want to do that". during the time to finish one project I add another three to the list! Anyway, Fantastic video with clear and effective directions to get such cool results. Thank you!
