Fish Whirligig

Energy from the wind is directed along the shaft to open and close the mouth of the fish and move the tail from side to side. Bearings seated in posts attached to the body ensure a high degree of efficiency. The thing you may enjoy most about making the whirligig is that it’s primarily a hand tool project. The bulk of the work is done with rasps, files, and gouges.
