Be sure to use a good grade exterior plywood because I had problems with delamination. I also made the wings slightly larger.

@freewoodencrosses7 жыл бұрын
so you use a shaft that turns and this way both wings turn in the same direction and it seems you offset the wings for balance.. Many duck whirligigs have one wing going clockwise and the other going counter clockwise. I like your method better. Thanks for showing that.
@unemployedredneckhillbilly20237 жыл бұрын
I live in an area that is quite windy and the ones with the light wings spinning opposite directions self destruct quickly, so I decided to make smaller wings that are connected with good bushings. It takes about a 15 mph wind to get them spinning so I am looking at making some slightly larger plastic overlays in the future . The good thing is they do not spin wildly out of control in high winds. Thanks for watching.
