This took me about an hour to find all the parts, cut and assemble.
See if you can guess what the contraption does – the name of the project is a big clue!
Now, click on the video link below and see if you were correct:

Yup! It’s a pretty cool toy that does basically nothing! Nada. Zip. Zilch.
But…...... It’s cool
If anyone really cares, I used cherry for the base and a scrap of hickory for the upper block. Scraps, bits and pieces around the shop for the remainder.
:-)
PS: I added Pic 2 to show how the rubber band connects at the base.
Cheers!

That’s neat. Last year, I gave my niece something nearly identical, except I made a simple fisherman, holding a rod, spinning around. They are fun to watch.

Slick. I gotta git me one of these. This would be a great craft to use with children. Think I’ll show my grand daughter how to make this. Thanks for showing.

Bob-
This is awesome! Do you have any sort of materials list or plans I could use? This would be a great activity for my scouts to build where I could even sneak in some physics lessons :) Thanks!
