Mines a small one but does the job.
Did post this as show us yer c*ck but mods must have withdrawn it:)

Actually this one is a hen as we used to keep poulty and sell eggs etc so it does have a meaning.

Anyone got a tractor up there?

Here is my 100 caliber wind vane. The receiver is from an old sliding block rifle. Barrel is 1" conduit, fore grip a metal chair leg, stock sheet metal and lever 1/8x1/2" steel strap.

I thought you were asking about my political representative :D:D
(I always thought they are either wind vanes or create wind)
Seriously, mine is just the old fashioned copper goose in flight. I obviously need to get more creative like you guys :eek:

The old J.I.Case tractor isn't mine but close by.

The airplane weather vanes I build and give away to kids. Some adults are kids too I've discovered. :laughing: Waiting for some genius to build a micro speed indicator for the propeller. As it is now I just guess at wind speed.:D Some days it looks as if the prop will explode from centrifugal force.

Love home made ones:thumbsup:

I once made a twin engined bomber type plane after finding some old fan blades off something or other.
Any ways it ended up a pretty big model and was hoisted on to a pole so as the wind would drive the propellers , it had a larger than scale tail plane to turn it into the wind.

We had to take it down as the noise from the ' Engines' was keeping us awake at night.:laughing:

Not mine, but wish it was.

A nice cabin with a changing view. :)

The Murder weapon Vane.
The Pistol was uncovered out in the desert. At least 2 shots were fired and it still has at least 2 unfired rounds in it.

Someone wanted or had to get rid of it. Maybe in a hurry.

It is almost a bolt for bolt copy of a Colt Single Action. Flat hammer spring & all. Sort of modern as it has an interrupter on the hammer.

I made it for a neighbor.
