Title: Whirligigs a question
Post by: Dawie on February 01, 2011, 11:53:16 am

I would love to start making some of these fun windtoys, but haven't a clue where to start, bought a book a while back, but cannot follow the instructions to well a bit confusing I find, may be I should have bought a different book. The book I have is Easy-to-make whirligigs by Anders S Lunde.

 I use to make wirlygigs a while back, and gotmy supplies from Meisel hardware, which is reasonable, also got my pattern there. Can also try cherry tree toys.  Good luck.

I make a lot of whirligigs, action type and Birds. I buy most of my plans and supplies from Cherry Tree Toys. I make my own Propeller hubs.
