Race horses whirlygig, looking for pattern

[Lorace]

I want to try and make a whirligig.   The  one I really like is of horses running.
I clicked on the link to buy it.  but to tell the truth I was a tad afraid of the web site.
When I first clicked on it.  was not any whirlygig's.   when I did find it.    I was afraid to buy.

does anyone know a place to buy a pattern like that.  that you trust?

I did see a mule one that I like.   I have never made a whirligig..   are they eazy?  or hard??
Thank you

Lorace,
Lime most of what we do there are various levels of complexity.  Some are real simple others are more complex

I have found you some a couple of links that might be of interest... one to plans the other to a book on making whirligigs and has a couple of interesting patterns in it.

Thank you,    the first link you sent is the one I would like to make.   I have never heard of that company,  are they safe to order from?     I would like to try it.   also I think I will order the book.   Thank you so much.

I do not have the book recommended but I do have a few other books by the same author Anders S. Lunde and he does explain the process very clearly. You could make a whirligig  just from his books with out any plans.
