Absolutely nothing wrong with being chatty! I've seen some that have a whole box for the workings and others just a slot along the bottom of a board. It's probably to one's own taste, eh? Thanks for the video, i was looking for how to do your up & down moves and if the drive shaft has🤔to be one continueous line? or some i see looks like a simple hook that goes round. Well thank you much🙂!
You were asking about bushings for the mounting shaft... Pen turners use a brass tube that is 7mm. I'm pretty sure that the rod that you'd like to use can match the inner diameter.
Did you find your liner? If you’re sticking with nylon, I would think you could find tubing the ID you wanted, then cut lengths you need to the depth. FWIW, I’d go with Rick Jarosz’ suggestion. I appreciate your time and construction explanations, they’re helpful in imagining construction!
If you have the threaded rod, it seems to me with the wobble, that would wear into plastic liner over time…if there was a plastic liner. Less so with a metal liner. That is my uninformed thought.🙂
Thanks for sharing your knowledge ,they look facinating,im a welder at heart but ive just got a wood shop together and i fancy messing with some wood its cleaner, feel free to check my channel out its quite diverse , will email you for details of the plastic sleeves thanks again ,Ant a Yorkshire man in Wales lol.
ink pen casing will make a set-up for your whirlygigs Thank you for your engineering skills Ted
I use 10 mm Plastic knitting needles for bearings that you find at Thrift Stores
Thks fie sharing your project with us keep up the great work will give it a shot see what happens ya got my vote thks

Use a plastic straw for a liner

Have had a whirligig in the garden for 3 years with no problems but you can always change the plastic bearings
