Gone Fishing
Gone fishing but not today it - 20 degrees today and not fit for man nor beast out there so i've been out in the shop this is my latest design. you wind up the standing fisherman and when he unwinds the shark swings around and winds around the pole then unwinds then the fisherman makes another rotation and the shark raps around the pole again. If you wind it a lot it will keep going for a long time. I am now working on a geared winder for the bottom of the rubber band to make it easier to wind up Copy of DSC03142.JPG

Very interesting toy Kevin...love to see a short video of it please, if possible, thank you...
Must agree -20 does not sound inviting especially if it's Celsius.... 30"c" here today. Cheers, crowie

Kevin,
Very clever work there mate. Looks like you are getting into a bit of Automata. I love the work you do. We are predicted to have 36C today and 37C tomorrow. It's pretty hot here already. It's going to be hot in the shed.
Again - GREAT work
Regards
Keith

That is one smart unit Tracker!! Well done sire!!
This is just the sort of toy that intrigues kids and they will play with them for hours.
Where I live we don't know about really hot and cold is not in the lexicon!!
