Overview

How to Make Wooden Pull-String Jumping Jacks: Volume 1, covers everything you need to know to get started in the woodworking craft and hobby of making a special type of whirligigs called ""pull-string"" jumping jacks. Instead of the wind providing the power like on most whirligigs, this special type of whirligig performs indoors with a pull-string, and who can resist the temptation to pull it and watch the performance. You typically hold the jumping jack from the hanging string in one hand and work the pull string from below the jumping jack with the other hand. Or hang them from a ceiling or on a wall and just pull on the strings below to bring them to life. Materials, tools, and techniques are detailed, and full-size patterns and step-by-step instructions are given for making seven fun to build and fascinating to watch performing jumping jacks: Hippopotamus, Pig, Clown, Frog, Monkey, Penguin, and Girl Riding Horse. A bonus feature of this book is that two versions of each jumping jack are given - without a backpiece and with a backpiece. The book is profusely illustrated with over 80 color photos that detail not only how to make the jumping jacks, but also how to paint them and string them and display them. This book will get you started in the exciting art and craft of whirligig making and if you are already addicted give you new horizons to explore.
