These are absolutely superb. The time and effort you have put into these lovely bees, is brilliant and what a lovely end product. Thank you for sharing.
amazing workshop and tool collection for every task...I get lost in your projects...wow, to have everything right at hand is amazing....amazing what new tech can do
Just be sure to use marine grade plywood if you make any. I am having trouble with the low cost stuff de-laminating in the weather. Thanks for watching.
I wound up adding bigger clear plastic wings to get them spinning faster. The plywood is also delaminating after 2 years outdoors. Going to make new bodies from the pvc lumber To make them survive longer. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 Thanks. I found that video, which has an outline of the body, which is good. May just use 18 Ga. steel for the body as I have in the past. I like that plastic wood too.
Those are adorable! I have no idea what most of those machines are or how they work but for some reason it's very relaxing to watch the whole thing come together. Kind of like that show "How it's Made"
Thank you. I try to show how I make the item, but the finished item could be made in many different ways with different materials and tools. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos and comment on them.
I'm just now finding your videos: what kind of garden do you have? You do excellent work! My mother would love to have a couple of these bees for her yard. Looks like I have a project! Thank you for a great inspiring video!
Be sure to use a good grade exterior plywood because I had problems with delamination. I also made the wings slightly larger. This video shows the garden and problems with delamination. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r-_vnJHdKuU.html .I am trying to find some plastic wood to remake the bodies someday. Thanks for watching.
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.
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.
I designed and built it from surplus parts that I had so it didn't cost much. If you buy one it would probably cost between $4,000.00 and $7,000.00 with software. Thanks for watching.
Sure can and you can also make anything else you can dream up. You can make them with a $10 harbor freight jigsaw if you don't have anything else. Just sharing ideas. Thanks for watching.
I think many do, but the idea can be used to make the items with a few hand tools also. It will take a little longer, but can be done. Something like this would also be a good project for a 3d printer. Thanks for watching
They are very nice !!! Unfortunately I, ĺike about 99% of the viewers on you tube have a drill and a jigsaw , and I managed to make a couple that look and work just fine !!! So to those who watch this and are disheartenedabout all your impressive equipment , you can do it !!! Just need some talent , imagination , and a few basic pieces of equipment!!!! With your workshop....you should be building spaceships for Elon Musk.....not funny little garden wirligigs !!!!!!
If I had 100.000. To spend on all that equipment. I would make the wildest things. With movements that Will blow your mind . but I don't so I'll just watch a different video. That I have tools for .what a waist of tools.
It costs very little when you build your own tools. People have used the idea to make them with the tools they have, it just takes a open mind. You may want to find videos that suit you better.
