Woodworking ...Civil War Theme Whirligig

[DanO55]

Anyone here into woodworking ... anyone make Whirligigs??
This is actually the Final Part of a 4 part Video Series that I made a while ago in my woodworking show, combining 3 of my hobbies, Woodworking, Whirligig Building & Banjo playing... all coming togeather to tell a story with a Civil War Theme..
From beginning to end this took me quite a while to finish with many changes on the way but if you care to take the time to watch all 4 parts I think you'll appreciate all the time it took. Everything you see was Hand Cut and Shaped and Hand painted. Made Nearly 100% of Wood. It was a lot of work and took a lot of trial & error but also fun to make.

I have made many different whirligigs but this is my biggest and most complexed one with a Cam Motor Movement.
Hope you like what you see, thanks for watching... video link below

That's cool, Dan! I like all the little details, and the dog is a brilliant addition. My Gramps, who was a collector, would have definitely wanted this.
