WEATHER VANE

                                                                                             October 2021

 I'm planning on making a weather vane for the garage and I'm really just playing around at the moment.

I then pushed a stainless bar through the bearing, and here I have the beginnings' of the weather vane spindle. 

 I thought I'd make some brackets first out of some scrap aluminum angle, and then pressed a bearing in using the vice.

Here I cut out a drawing for the wind catching side of the Vane.

 Using a coping saw I started to cut this out of the plywood. I need to get a mechanical fret saw!!!!!

 Just a bit of sanding and shaping required.

A rather childish attempt with the colours I had available.

Primer and painted the main body colour and drawn in some detail for when I paint the scoot.

Here we go with a bit of detail.

 Ensure it is level so it does not have a bias towards leaning one way and we have a lovely weather vane that is the envy of the neighbour hood? Or not! Now I will know which way the wind is blowing when I go to fly my RC glider.
