This, my friends, is a one-of-a-kind whirligig.
I designed,handpainted and handmade this unique, original design clown that does handstands on his own colorful stage.
I had decided to make a different one so that he could just be sat on a deck, porch or table, and still work well, instead of on the usual rod.
I needed to make sure that the propeller would not touch anything and that the platform that the clown is on is sturdy, so it won't be knocked over in the wind.
The painted design and colors came as I made the whirligig. He has all brass
hardware.
You have 2 movements. His legs, as well
as his body, move in a very smooth
up and down movement. Just sit him
down facing the wind and watch

him do his tricks.
He was really a lot of fun to make and watch. He can be outside doing his tricks or inside looking like a million in your home.
He is a great home decor,collectable item and a great conversation piece.
It seems to me that anyone that has a vision in their mind of what they want to make, can, if they just take the time and try.
Even if someone tells you, "You can't do that," it doesn't make it so. Try.
You might just surprise them.
Hope you enjoyed this.
Til next time-Take care.
