Steve's balancing projects

[spirithorse]

I thought I'd do two quick and easy projects from
Steve's recently posted balancing projects.
I took a 17 second video of the skateboarder but, the video ended up
being 43 MB!  He does twirl around the base pretty well.
The balancing bird was really quick to cut but, I had to add two
blocks of 1/4" thick wood about 1/4" square near the tips of the wings
to make it balance close to level.
Has anyone else tried these projects?
Thanks for looking and God Bless! Spirithorse

You did really nice work with those projects, Spirithorse!
Looks like some serious precision required (not my forte), so no, have not tried them, but did find them interesting.
You are more balanced than I!
