I tried the 3” round hubs on a Canada goose. It was a non starter for me. Thanks

[@gwheyduke]

Cool- thanks for the comment

[@Lazy.Train.videos]

How do you get them and what airlines have them

[@tom95521]

What is the advantage of a square hub vs. a large diameter (broom handle) slotted dowel with the wings centered?

[@gwheyduke]

The square hubs simply make it easier to cut the slots on the table saw

[@blaisemclaughlin8582]

just getting started on whirly gigs...do you have a video on making the prop blade holder? thanks

[@gwheyduke]

[@bradbrown2168]

Shaping your wing? Jigsaw or bandsaw?

[@gwheyduke]

The bandsaw with a 1/4-inch blade was used for this one, but you could also use a jigsaw.

[@aarondavis4825]

What would are you using for the wings themselves?

[@gwheyduke]

These are cut from a two by four from Lowes. They are usually Douglass Fir or Pine. I have tried to read the stamped labels on the wood, but it's some sort of industry code and hard to figure out. Mostly avoid plywood because it deteriorates quickly in the weather.

I have my whirligig made, but when it gets in the wind, the blades fall off can you tell me where

[@gwheyduke]
