Will be heading to Columbus tomorrow to install the weather vain.

Nicely done!! Very creative!! Good job!!

I have about 40 hours in it including drafting the templates for the cones and remaking the center hub. The first one did not come out perfect so I re did it with a few slight design changes.

Schuwing! That's something to be proud of CM. How many hours do you have in that project?

Woody: Nice wall!! But whats the purpose of the copper post top hanging out there?

Well woody yes it did but I did not make it. I don't have a metal spinning lathe. I could of made it without one but they wanted it to be highly polished so we bought it already made. I let you in on a secrete. it's a commercial float ball. I was the only one we could find that was made out of 20 oz. copper and did not have a hole in it. The arrow spins with almost no effort at all. I added 2 1/2 pounds of lead in the arrow head to balance it out and there is a thrust bearing on top of the stainless steel support rod.

Few more pics. It's almost ready. The arrow is not soldered yet thats why it looks a little bowed.

Nice work and pix Larry. :) What are you saying Steve? I upload all the time.

Got the hub finished today Cone base it spins on I put the arrow through just fooling around. the arrow is 3 ft. out each side. It's harder to make then I thought it would be but it's coming together. Should be ready to install on monday
