You’ve spent all summer working on your backyard landscaping project. You built raised beds, planted rows of bushes, hung baskets of flowers, spread mountains of mulch, and even purchased a fancy new lawnmower to keep your grass in check. The only thing left to do is add a festive whirligig and admire your hard work. But why purchase a generic whirligig when you can create a custom piece that perfectly reflects you, your home, and your lifestyle? Whether you use wood or metal, this unique whirligig can illustrate your favorite hobby, be a replica of your furry friend, or highlight your whimsical sense of humor. In a recent video, YouTuber jimmydiresta demonstrates how to construct a one-of-a-kind whirligig.
