Hints and tips on making and repairing whirligigs. In this video I explain some of the features of whirligig construction and cover some of the working principles.
Thanks. I liked the bit about the stroke length and good tip about spokes for linkages - no bike will be safe around these parts now... Going over to part two now.
Mr Scrimper ive found the ideal propellor rod for driving the Whirligigs 6013 WELDING ELECTRODES and no need to enlarge the hole in the brass plug fittings .knock all the flux off before using cheers
Hello! I am a newbie in woodworking but I am fascinated by whirligigs. Can you show how to the stand and what you use to connect between the whirligig and stand?
Hi Scrimperuk! Nice Whirligig rescue! Thank you for explaining how the left arm moves; I was was very curious how it was done-brilliant! Nice shout-out for whirligigs! They are fun to make and watch! Keep up the good work. Thank you for the video. Take care.
You are talking about balancing the whirligig once it is completely finished. I am wondering if you take the time to balance the fan before putting it on as well? I would think one wouldn't wish for one side of the fan to be heavier than the other side of the fan for proper operation in the wind. Thanks!
Hello! Enjoying your videos! I'm having a problem on my galloping horse whirligig. Turns fine until I hook up the horse then it is hard to get started. Would you have any suggestions? Thank you!!!
