Wind Powered Garden Wirligigs
« on: October 25, 2013, 06:41:17 am »
HI Everyone,I recently retired and have just bought my first scrollsaw. I would like to make some wirligigs and house number and street signs.I once saw a roadrunner wirligig in a garden so any disney type animated ones would be great.I hope that someone somewhere in the world  can help.
best regards from England,UK.

Disney is real fussy about their copyrights so be careful.

I have not downloaded yet, so no guarantees, but it sounds about right.

If you can buy plans, here's a site:

Here's a YouTube video on how to make a Whirlygig that shows the details of making the prop and crank.
