Youve got to start somewhere, so here we go!
Get out the wood cleaner, the stripper, the scrub brushes, the sandpaper and the elbow grease.
Its going to be a labor of love.

is be a follower to my blog and leave a comment
between now and midnight (my time) April 15th.
Connie has already named her "Gypsy Rose".Right now she looks a bit like a "Weed",
but we have every intention of changing her to a "Rose".
Im looking forward to hearing what you think about this new project of mine.
Even though Christmas is over Im still playing in my woodworking shop.However these photos were mostly shot in my brothers shop. He and my sister in law love Hawaii so I made this for them.
Here are a few shots of the construction.
Here is a close up of the mechanism that makes the hula skirts move when the wind starts blowing.
Just as in my other whirligigs, the green block has skateboard bearings inside that the propeller shaft runs through. This makes it spin with barely a puff of wind.I love making these things. Thanks for stopping by my blog, please leave a comment.
