[@butterpiggie9624]

Hello all! I see some of y’all would like to know how to scale the wings up considering they’re quite small, so I’ll let y’all know how I did it! it’s originally 20 inches for the larger planks, so I made it 30, this means -the 8 inch space becomes 12 -the 11 inch planks become 18 inch -you can leave the .5 inch gaps from the end and the 3 inch gaps for the joints, they aren’t affected These measurements still hold up to work, and provide a much larger wingspan than the one the original design provides. If anyone has further questions, lmk!

[@Rita-jf2sw]

Do you need to make two sets of these for both arms?

[@butterpiggie9624]

Rita Ferrell no, the design is made for two wings on both side, while the inner 'diamond' shaped area is for your back. You'd only have to make one set for both wings :)

[@Rita-jf2sw]

How do u put fabric on. I'm making wings for my hawks cosplay from my hero academia

[@xxstrawberry_bear_bonxx1015]

honestly you should find fabric that's red like his wing and feathers (no hot glue needed hopefully) get a piece 2x bigger than the wings don't put the fabric on before put the fabric on the front and back of the wings and then sew it together if you want them to be chunky add cotton inside or just leave the cotton out and after you sew the structure of the wing tight around the wing with the fabric and the cut off the access (i'm so sorry but i don't know how you would be able to but the feathers on me neither but good luck i hope you the best!

[@awinstons2185]

Please add some sketch and meassurement. And for further development, you might want to use triple layer of thin wood for each stick. That way you can insert one another to get better center alignment, instead of put it on one another. Just an suggestion.

[@albedoss]

Great job guys! Simple, yet very descriptive. I watched countless hours of videos, and decided to use your design as my inspiration. I'm using aluminum fence spindles as my frame, fabric and real feathers , and a linear actuator to open. I'm making 12 sets of wings for a high school show choir group. Each will have a 7 1/2 foot span. I even made my own KZbin video for those interested. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My only problem with this is, mine would be covered with feathers and would be pretty large, how would I be able to move them is there’s not a single piece of wood to grab?

[@randomlife9945]

Put a string on the outside pieces so you grab the string and lift your arms up and the will open

[@rileyarnold5058]

U can use a certain type of frabric and glue or saw your feathers on and it would keep the movement.

[@aysiasimon4555]

Im sure you can use wood glue and overlap the feathers (I know I am *very* late to the question but this is for the people who need another answer lol

[@Painting_poltergeist]

Can you help me with the size of the wood. She said 30 in but the place I’m shopping you have to put two numbers (ex. 30in x 12in)

Looked into all other designs of KZbin and finally here, the best thing about your design is that its simple and sturdy, cause noone wants a wing to break in the middle of a show.

[@jessicamarieh8329]

Awesome video! Is there some way I could make an apparatus to keep the wings open or closed whenever I want?

[@serena3170]

I think string that you can pull is your best option for being able to move them without having to touch the actual wood itself.

[@chivone21]

If you don't want to worry about the bolts and nuts coming loose from all the movement, instead of using the standard washer, use a compression washer...you know, the ones that are a little thicker and they are split on one side and bent a little so that when you tighten the nut down, it causes compression and keeps the bolt night tight against the thread, and it won't come loose! Just don't tighten it all the way down or you won't be able to "spread your wings" (you're welcome) :P

@@serena3170 hi! I was hoping someone would help with this! Thank you! I just have one more question: what mind of fabric should i use, and should it be loosely sewn on for movement?

[@serena3170]

@@venom.strike6999 Hi! I'm so happy to help, personally I just used an old white sheet because mine were angel themed, really anything is ok, I do suggest something lighter though especially if you attach the feathers how I did in the end. A lot of the process for me was pinning and repinning to see where I needed to sew so that the wings would move. For most of the wings there was only a centimeter or so of space between the wood and the stitching. For the feathers, (this is a lot of work but I loved how it turned out for my purposes) you can get fake feathers and use a needle with thread on it to go straight through the shaft, then going down into the fabric and back up again to repeat the process, (almost as if you were sewing a bead into fabric) making for a fairly clean and unnoticeable attachment.
