My first "Ticker". May there be many more ;D
It still needs a little work. But I don't think that it turned out to shabby.
Hopefully the video works. This will be my first video upload of any kind.
Thanks. Yeah it's amber, I had some scrap acrylic laying around so I though I would test it with that first, But I think wood definitely looks better.
Although its time to start getting ready for bazaar season, I thought maybe some dancing elves, or a couple of reindeer and a sleigh on the veins. People like gaudy things at events like that.
Here is my first attempt at Scimitar. As I don't have a CNC (yet, everything was cut with a scroll saw. I'm trying to get it to run with just the arms on. there is about 1.5 lbs on the weight wheel. when i manually flick the vane assy. it only moves a small bit in the counterclockwise direction. The shaft is free wheeling. Any ideas why it is not rotating as it should? see this you tube link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLKw2Zu ... e=youtu.be
