Most enjoyable to see a master craftsman at what you do best.

I would recommend hearing protection for the young lady. Wonderful video, thanks for sharing!

[@inhibited44]

I was watching that thinking the same thing. Good to see her interesting in learning a skill

[@inhibited44]

trying to make another type of kinetic sculpture. Was wondering how to make it move so easily. Thought it might need bearings and you verified that. Thanks

[@merrymaker1031]

so cool to see your granddaughter learning.

Love the wind sculpture! Thank you for sharing!

[@sliewood]

Beautiful.. I have just discovered kinetic sculptures; your video explains the process excellently thank you. I love them; wooden brass or whatever. Your Lillie's are exquisite. 🏵️

[@rayrussell7105]

So pretty...would love that in my yard! Hope you are still making lovely sculptures.

[@brucerussell1791]

Hi Ray still making them Bruce

[@JoaoLopes-hj8fc]

Fantastic. Thanks for the enlightenment professor.

I was with you and I know I can do what you have done until you got to that massive bearing. Who made that for you? It’s huge...

[@suzannemcconnell1149]

Sir, might you be able to provide me with information on where to purchase the bearing assembly you are using? I need it for my own project. Thank you.

[@brucerussell1791]

Bearings you will get from a engineering or marine shop

[@suzannemcconnell1149]

@@brucerussell1791 Thanks, but are they pre attached to the steel pole like seen in the picture or do you attach them yourself.

[@brucerussell1791]

Umar Rabbani The bearings come complete and you can buy on amazon. I attach them myself by pushing into the turned holes with a tapered fit .. hope this helps you

What is the machine called that puts the groove in the copper..

[@brucerussell1791]

It’s called a swage

[@garyjohnson4657]

Why so much detail on something that moves so fast?

[@brucerussell1791]

Hi Gary In the summer it moves very slowly and in a storm it looks fantastic but think I may add a dynamo and generate free electricity also I enjoyed making it with guernsey lily design All the best Bruce

[@robertcornelius3514]

Nice, but I hope a 50mph wind doesn't come around.

[@brucerussell1791]

Quite clever design the top metre spins separate from main shaft and in high wind will turn side ways away from direction of wind … has been working in 82 mph with no problems

Please consider hearing protection for the children when hammering.
