Turtle Teeter Totter stage 2 & 3

Item: Here is the status of the Turtle Teeter Totter (#7) as it is on the shop bench for form fit and function. All the components are done and seem ready for test. This is a new departure to a side mount with more pivot arm to steady the action on the arc.


Now things can get a bit ticklish as it turns to timing, balance and fine tuning adjustments. Sanding a little bit here and a little bit there and dialing in the weight and counterweight plus the arc of the turtle and the lift of the top valve along with it's weighting. There, it should be good to go allowing for a few coats of paint. See more of these at http://www.whimsytwo.etsy.com/.



Now comes the fun part. When I leave something on the art table it's always special to see how Donna will complete each item in the art department. We will return when she gets it underway.
