Aluminum/Chrome-sided rower whirligig 6/23/24

Hi friend! This video shows an aluminum/chrome-sided man rowing a boat whirligig. I powder coated the aluminum boat sides with some chrome powder coat from Prismatic Powders, followed by a powder coat clear coat.
I also show how I made a simple bender for bending the edges of the aluminum boat sides, which is simply a narrow slot cut into a piece of hardwood (oak).
I also show how I'm re-sizing some stainless steel 3/16" rod from Online Metals, so that it will fit through my bearings.
I also show the whirligig in action at the end, with music: Bird Creek by Hooky and Sloane, and Bottle of Something by Track Tribe.
Thanks for stopping by. Please subscribe to my channel; thank you!
Warm greetings from Wishram.

Thanks Lloyd! The powder coat chrome is a lot easier than polishing metal. I really love powder coating. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

Hi Lynn! Thank you! I sure appreciate you subscribing to my channel. It's the neighbor's kitty, but he hangs around my place because he gets food and petting. He has a crooked tail, so I call him "Green eyes of the crooked tail." Thanks for stopping by. Happy 2's Day!

@@ToddAndrewCole You have pwalpar to thank for me finding you. I'm following his recovery from that big surgery. He seems to be doing very well. -- One of my dreams since my teen years (long time ago!) has been to visit Crater Lake, plus one of my best friends moved to Idaho. If I get to visit that corner of the country, I'll give you a holler and see if I can meet Peaches. Oh, and you, of course. 😆 -- Take care.

Hi Robert! Thank you. I was thinking maybe a piece of cotton might work if you strung it out and made it look wispy. I'll try it. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!
