Nice work Larry.

Look forward to seeing it in some wind.

You could always simulate indoors with a little fan.:)

Well you certainly nailed it in the detail dept , but it sure would be of interest to see it in a bit of finger twirling action.😉
Nice work Larry.

Thought I'd share a little folk art project I just finished. It's a jaw-flapping tail-wagging whirlygig that's been on the back burner for a long time. I'm just going to wait for decent weather to actually try him out but I fear the primitive machinery won't work that well in the long run. He'll probably just make another decoration for the steam room but it was fun building him.
