When I was putting it together I bought a brad gun. I never have used one , and of course I did not read the instructions, or watch a
Youtube video. I busted the legs and messed up the base. Out of the two I was able to save one.
I gave my friend one, then I enlarged the pattern 10% and made mine. Now I am drilling the holes. putting a
dab of JD wield. and dropping the brad in. Yes I have watched Youtube now. read the booklet and one day will use that brad gun.
Now I am working on the Cowboy automaton in the newest Gizmos and Gadgets magazine, fingers crossed that mine will move.

Looks great. Be aware of high winds, I did one with a lady doing laundry and the other day we had some high winds and when I got home either she worked her arms right off or the wind damaged it. It appears you are using small machine bolts for the pivots, I tried using small dowels and glued into place so I could paint over them and I think that might have been my problem. Also if you want go look at the web site
azwoodman.com for some more patterns.
