Assembly

Step 3: Assembly

The figure--
      After cutting out the figures or using wood figures the parts are assembled.
Connect the two legs to the body. Use the washers as shown for keeping the parts apart and easy to move.
Connect the legs to the long shaft body using the screws or just glue them on.
Connect by gluing the hammer and the Nut and tree trunk.

The cam-
      Form the steel axle as shown with one end formed as a hook. This hook will be glued to the hub to keep the axle rotating with the hub.. The other en will fit into the cam.The end of the axle can be indented with a saw to anchor the cam to it with glue.
See step one for this layout. The cam can be coated with lacquer to prevent it from absorbing rain water.Epoxy glue is best here.
Use a piece of straw tubing on the cam axle and the 4-40 screw. Use the 4-40 nuts as shown.

Cam to figure connector-
        We used 1mm.diam. stretch string here. Form a loop around the 4-40 screw and tubing and crimp loosely. then run about 2 in. length up to the hole in the figure and crimp it. {wire can also be used here for a connector }.

Prop and hub.
        Use a 1-1/2 cube of wood. drill out the holes as shown. For the prop use 12 inch long bottles cut out 1/2 of a side.
Drill out a hole in the bottle caps for the wood screws. assemble the caps then screw on the bottles.
Make sure the bottles are rotated so that they will catch the wind and rotate .Test with a puff of air.Assemble to the axle.

Tail- Cut out the 13in. long tail and wire it in with the paper clip wire. as shown.
