As for “appearances” of hand cut, square hub whirligigs? Well, think about the original ones made, most of them were rough made, hand crafted appearance. Not commercially finished.

Genius . I was making beehives for my wife who then decided she didn't like my design . So I made an apex roof and made a windmil using your technique . Very good video . From UK 🇬🇧

For whoever is wanting to learn and reads this.. While drilling by drill wrap a piece of blue tape or masking tape around the bit at the depth line of cut. When you drill down to the tape stop. Then all your drill holes are at the same depth.

You can also use a mitre saw. Once I'd cut out my circle I then bolted it to a flat piece of scrap wood and clamped it to the fence on my miter saw set my angle and depth then all I did was rotate it on the bolt to my next mark

Very good video ! Toni Switzerland

@leohorishny9561

Do you have thoughts and experiences in deciding the propeller blade size, compared to the arm of the whirligig, and how local wind speeds respond to fewer, longer blades, or 5 or more blades? Is there better performance in windy conditions with certain size propellers?

Question: would you consider making one and how much would you charge to make a replacement propeller for me?

@c.a.m.6276 2 года назад

Very nice tips ... I do not have a table saw ... I do all the work by using a hand-copying saw, it gives a bit more work, but works just fine. Anyway, we never stop learning, do we? Congrats!!! (From Brazil) PS: nice shop you have!!!

Yeah, hole saws are the easiest method of making hubs. Lol 😆 Great instructional video.

@ChaplainKC Год назад

I like that the blade angle is adjustable!

Sunday morning: Well teacher I enjoy and appreciate each video you produced for help begginer like me.

@allisonmacaulay7701 2 года назад

Very interesting...I like your way its much easier.. with the dowels!!

@georgeheyduke2060 2 года назад

Eselente pero seria como bueno una explicación mecánica como funciona un muñeco leñador el funcionamiento gracias

@leohorishny9561

I haven’t tried drilling precisely often, but with your clamping the hub in a vise to drill straight, would it be simpler to drill in horizontally and use a level on the drill or bit to set your position, than try to eyeball the drill and bit from a vertical position?
