This whirly is my absolute favorite so far. It was also the easiest, sturdiest, cutest...and oh my it looks so great when it's spinning. IF I make any more they will all be this whole wheel style, possibly horizontal, at least I'd like to try one that way. These might even sell but at the very least, easy gifts.
Our sweet boy, Ratchet, turned one year old today. Here I have proof that he will not only COME, but he will also SIT and STAY...at least long enough for me to snap a couple of pictures. He is doing so great at staying in the yard, happy and content to dig holes, chew on sticks, chase birds, or nap in the sun. I still wouldn't trust him without keeping a close eye on his adventures but we're getting there.
These two silly girls LOVE blueberries. They know right where I keep them in the freezer drawer. They also like to use a toothpick to pick them up. So why do they have purple fingers? Because they don't wait until they are thawed enough to use a toothpick and end up using their fingers. I'm sure their mommy was thrilled with the stains on their white shirts (oops!)
How did you make the whirligig? Lessons PLEASE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI used a whole (front) bike wheel, Scott welded a threaded cap to the hub, add short pipe (8"?), then a 90 degree fitting. The cups are riveted to the rim and the rest of the doo-dads are zip-tied to the spokes. Super easier than the others.
