Flying Pig

A crank in the clockworks moves this cute little guy up, down, back-and-forth in a flying motion and he flaps his wings, via the linkage fixed to the case.

Spring-powered, the wooden winding key is permanently attached. One turn provides all the action you can stand. …and it makes an awful racket!

The side plates are plexiglas,so the gears seem to “float”. the Flying Pig

So what do you do with all those wooden gears that just didn’t quite work right? (besides throw them in a box.)

My son loves pigs - especially flying pigs - so I made him this.

(…and a special thanks to him for these pictures!)
