Where can I find the funnels for the tin man project? I cannot find the right size.

You could always make one - if your tin man has a 120mm diameter head you will need a piece of thin galvanised steel about 250mm by 125mm. Mark and cut out a semi circle with a radius of 125mm, and make a small cut about 5mm deep at the centre of the straight edge. Bend down a strip approx 5mm wide from the centre to the curved edge. On the other side of the centre cut bend UP a strip 5mm wide. Bend both these strips back so they make a hooked edge. Wrap the semicircle of metal into a cone so that the two hooked edges overlap and engage with each other. Use pliers or a small hammer and a block of wood to flatten the hooked over areas into a seam. You can make a small tube from a strip of the same material and glue this to the top of the cone to make a funnel shape.
