Roy at his workbench; building this action-packed whirligig is a breeze

Article Abstract:

Building a whirligig requires a brass rod, tubing, washers and nuts, tension pins and small-diameter dies in addition to common hardware such as glue, brads, finishing nails and screws. Only hand tools are necessary, but a band saw, scroll saw and drill press make the work faster and more accurate.
