Penguin-swing

[thehoghunter]

This was my backup plan (in case I didn't get my skating penguins done for Xmas). Found picture of it on a site that sells plans to build it - I didn't build it like they showed (different size - plus added the 'baby' penguin on it).

I made it by just looking at their picture, so it should be easy enough to copy this also.

I cut a styrofoam ball into a broken egg shell shape and put the baby penguin inside (with a peg screwed onto it's back which was then screwed into the large penguin (from it's back) to hold it in place.

Dearest Hoghunter I was wondering if you still have the link to the site you mensioned in the post about the penguins Thanks

[thehoghunter]

Well, I didn't but after searching for about an hour, I think this is the one
Winfield collection (http://thewinfieldcollection.com/default.aspx)

fyi - I also updated the pics of the final swing if you want to look at them on the first post.
