Title: Wind Powered Garden Wirligigs
Post by: trevorw on October 25, 2013, 06:41:17 am

HI Everyone,I recently retired and have just bought my first scrollsaw. I would like to make some wirligigs and house number and street signs.I once saw a roadrunner wirligig in a garden so any disney type animated ones would be great.I hope that someone somewhere in the world  can help.
best regards from England,UK.
