WHACKY TOYS WHIRLIGIGS & WHATCHAMA by Rodney Frost
They're playful and delightful, and they'll redefine your idea of what a toy can be. These charming mechanical contraptions will surprise and engage anyone who operates them - and they'll entice the creative woodworker, too, because these whirligigs are as much fun to make as to manoeuvre. Everything moves on these toys, whirligigs, and whatchamacallits -set in motion by the wind or your hand. The projects are ingenious in both the way you'll craft them and how they spin and turn. Straight pulleys trigger eyes and eyebrows to rotate, for example, while a crank causes the jaw to work up and down. Create a lumberjack dancing a jig, a sailor rowing a boat, grandpa shaving wood, and more.
