This design is a little more elegant and probably harder to cut out of wood, maybe a thin sheet of brass or copper.

 

This is a more chaotic design  that could be either an inside or outside cut . If you're using an inside cut add a 1/4" or 1/2" boarder around outside.

Cat chasing a mouse whirligig.

This is a play on an older design I came up with in the 70's The older design has the cat in a more upright position and the mouse is mostly cut out of wood.

My original 1998 version. 4th generation at that time and as you can see changes are always on going. The bottom round was for display only and was designed to be mounted on fence post. The eyes were animal doll eyes for the cat. The mouse eyes were plastic google eyes and the tail pipe cleaner.

The following photo is how the unfinished assembled product should approximately look.

The above diagram is not an exact copy of the photo below and modifications to the pattern have been made. Note; the propeller blades need to be set at an angle in order for them to work. I would also recommend making the broom of the broom stick larger to act more as a rudder in the wind.

This following photo is of a finished hanging witch whirligig . The colors you paint it is up to you. I change the design each time I make one so no two are the same.

The following is a short video of how it acts in the wind.  If you have problems with video playing try a different browser such as explore.
