Hi friend! This video shows me building a hiker whirligig; specifically: making the figure, the mechanism, and the linkages. This is an awesome whirligig, and it would make a great gift for someone with an active lifestyle in your life.
Thanks to Gabriel Zuckerman and his excellent book, The Art and Craft of Whirligig Making, whose book helped me make this whirligig.
Music is Juneberry Junction by Chris Haugen, Despite the Traffic by Wes Hutchinson, Si Senorita, by Chris Haugen, Come Get With Us by Track Tribe, Brightly Fancy Oddities by Kevin MacLeod, Pure Magic by Chris Haugen, Level Up by Quincas Moreira, Fractal of Light by Chris Haugen, Plastic or Paper by Wes Hutchinson, and Green Green Garden by Chris Haugen; thanks for the epic music!
Thanks for stopping by. Many warm greetings from Wishram.

Your's is really fun to watch! A nice steady pace ...wind picks up...then super fast footed😄!!! That's great you put such work into the linkages👍!

Hi Linda! Thank you. I just added gears to this whirligig, but I'm thinking the action was better without the gears beacause it was faster. This is a fun whirligig for sure. I just made a video where he is all painted. Thanks for stopping by. Warm greetings from Wishram.

@@ToddAndrewCole Thanks for the warm greeting! This sounds like the engine of a former car of mine..when the fuel ratio was set exact it seemed to slow the flow of my car...because of the shifting, I guess...but with a half turn richer on the fuel🙂it ran so much smoother from shift to shift. It seems like your gizmo should run quicker with a gear. I guess it depends on how you use it.

@ToddAndrewCole 2 месяца назад

@@lindakleckner215 Sounds like the old MG Midget I used to own. I could make the hiker go faster with gears, but I used them to slow things down. I think I prefer the faster movement, but the slower movement will last much longer. Take care.

@@ToddAndrewCole ⚠️ God has said in the Quran: 🔵 { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 ) 🔴 [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) 🔵 And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) 🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) 🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) Quran

There seems to be a critical ratio of the distance between the direct drive and the up/down lever. I had to go through several iterations to get the exact(ish) distance that allows the up/down lever from arcing down or up too far and stalling the driver.

@ToddAndrewCole 25 дней назад

Ah, the joys of whirligig making! It takes a bit of tinkering to get things to work right, but the problem solving is good exercise for the brain if you can keep from getting frustrated and just enjoy the ride. I'm sure there's some math involved in getting the right ratio, but I never took geometry, so I use trial and error. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!

Hi Maracini! Thank you. I love how this whirligig came out. I'm having some communication issues with the person who ordered this whirligig, so it may be available if I don't hear from them soon if you are interested. I was going to sell it them fairly cheaply since it's not painted. I could also paint it if you want. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you are doing well. Take special care.
