I've recently begun work on a documentary of the tin artistans of Mexico. Today, I interviewed one of the older families and they showed me this wonderful little tin boat which is powered by a candle. It actually putt putts around and just makes you smile to watch it go. Click on the photo below to watch the little video. As I go along, I'll be posting short clips of the process of making tin pieces, but for now, here's a charming little toy boat.
