Domo Arigato Mr Roboto

Everneed a helping hand in the kitchen, Well make a robot. This is Mr. Roboto. He is made from a Trader Joe's mint tin. And some bolts and nuts, a couple of unistrut clamps and a toy airplane for flashing eyes. And his job is to hold recipe cards.

HOW TO MAKE A MINT TIN FRAME

First you need a mint tin- this one held some green tea mints from Trader Joe's- I peeled the stickers off - then wiped down with WD-40 to remove the glue. The cool thing about this tin is there is a plastic window already built in it- so place a picture in the window (hint if you print a pic on regular paper your can make faint lines by rubbing the back side againts the "frame" of the window then cut and edge the picturec in the window. I put a magnet on the back to put it on the fridge.
