understandable directions
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
for the amount of pieces to be used in some of these items, the instructions were fairly easy to understand
Enough good info to get you started

It doesn't have every design, but there are enough varied plans to give you a good start. The introductory section on building the propellers and general design considerations should be enough for a moderately experienced wood worker to make whatever they want.
Just what I was looking for.

Lots of detailed diagrams on how to make these cute whirlygigs. But be careful where you put yours... they will disappear from your front yard if you're not careful!!
