    Hi Al, Hope you don't mind but I took your spinner & simplified it:

    Materials Reqd: 1x2lt bottle, 1 length of Dowel or similar, 2 nuts & 2 washers.

    Method:
    Find the pivot point of the bottle & drill 2 holes to take the dowel.
    Cut out sections of the bottle leaving 2 sails.
    Screw 1 nut onto the dowel & add a washer.
    Feed the bottle onto the dowel.
    Add the 2nd washer & screw the 2nd nut on the top.

    Bingo:

        You need to start "Drinking" Full stop!

        Nice tweak by the way!

        No disrespect to your "Prototype" Cad! ...............

        But are these things meant as just "Bird Scarers" ?

        Just been looking at these kite on a stick that resemble a "Bird of Prey" say just! Looked at for a bit! Anyone used one?

            Yep! In total agreement with that one!

            Spinning CD's, Bunting, a figure resembling "Judge Dredd" tried em all, still to no avail!

            There as to be an answer!

                  Hi BM

                  I like it, but out of all my creations I do like the larger Mk V four wing version. I now have 3 of them waiting to go down the allotment and I'm cutting wings and stacking them ready to make some more.

                  Below was my Mk 2 version and the fox proof cloche that was once a borg cube greenhouse that turned into solar tents before I got a real greenhouse to play with some time ago. But I think you were there anyway if you look at the photo.
