Whirligigs

[Richard Kennedy]

Hello....I am new to this forum & will be retiring at the end of this year. Soooo I am looking for some Whirligig Ideas to work on. I am just starting my woodworking career & dont have a shop or a lot of tools......Yet!

I did as quick search on this forum & found a couple from a few years ago. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find patterns, the tools that I might need or tips on making them?

Thanks for your help! RK

Libraries have wood working books.

Go to Amazon and search whirlygigs to find book titles.

Then, go to your local library to borrow a copy.

Please post pictures when you finish one!

I saw a whirligig book into Woodcraft today.

You bring back some memories, whirligigs are great fun and easy to build. I have built a few over the years and they make great, fun projects. They also make great projects to include the kids and grandkids.
