On a windy day, are you going to try taking him outside and hooking up a fan blade to the crankshaft? ;-)

Thanks for all the comments, guys.

Serge:This project took about 25 – 30 hours, from start to finish.

Nice suggestion, Littlecope. Whirligigs are fun to make and these people had a great time enjoying them:

This is so cool Chuck! It just reminds me of a sort of traditional toy, like how things could have been made before we had all of the power tools. Although the theme might have been flint mapping I suppose :) Anyway, really really cool, thanks so much for sharing!
