@freewoodencrosses I do not use O rings. The pulleys are made of high quality outdoor plastice. The belts are made of Polycord which comes from switzerland. It comes in 25' length and I fuse them to fit each whirligig. I have not had to replace any belts in over 15 years. Thanks
These are some of the best I have ever seen! Design, detail and impeccable workmanship. I was disappointed I could not find your website. Hope you are still making these treasures.
Can you give us links for the polycord and pulleys please. Also the size/weight of the polycord and technique/supplies and sources for fusing. Many thanks. Nice application
It looks like you use o-rings as a gear stepdown,,,Very smart, but of course outside they will deteriorate. Do you give extras or talk about where to get extras? Thanks, good job on quality
Hi as a Maker of Victorian rocking horses I have seen your whirligigs and like to have a change and seeing your whirligigs I am going to have a go at them
