Beginners DiY Whirligig Hub Myth Busted ! What's 45 Got to do with it?

[@davidwhirlihoff2039]

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, I have used the 45º cut only for the reason of not having a cutting table and when doing it with a saw it is easier for me to mark and cut that way but now that I have seen your video I understand that this Tilt provides better movement. A big hug from Buenos Aires!

Glad you found it useful. Best of luck with your whirligigs !

My wings are balance, but only one spins .. ?

many thanks for this video. I went through the same thinking process and found out that 45 degrees is just fine and make it much easier to cut several slots at the same time. I made a gig to hold 4 hubs to cut at 45 degrees that way I can cut both side and 2 sets of hubs in one shot I am limited by the noise I make using the table saw so constraints make people smarter to find solutions I guess. Another test interesting to do is to alternate the way the blades are installed curved side of the wing inside or outside? what works better, they both work .

Yes, good thinking. What works for you is best. Thank you for the comments.

Thank you for letting us in on the secret of the hubs, helping others to uderstand what we need to do to get our creations to fly properly. You are a genius 🧞‍♂️😊 Hopefully your knowledge will be passed on to many others in the future. I will pop down to my workshop now to correct the two hubs i have just finished.

What size is the blade on the table saw?

[@gwheyduke]

I'm using 7-1/4" stacked blades in this video

[@jimmycrum8107]

Just starting, What are you using to make your wings from?

[@gwheyduke]

Just cut from a piece of pine or fir two by four, about 3/16 inch thick.

[@richardmccann4815]

There is some wind shadow that occurs from the upwind blade, they will likely never spin equally.you should have a replaceable shoulder to set the block against.

[@gwheyduke]

That is very interesting, thank you for your comments.
