Im not the best with words but here goes.

 

 

link to short video

 

Been playing in the shed again. i was giving a load of banding strap to make some spring sticks but it was to thin and it wouldnt hold the shell up so after a bit of messing i came up with these.

 

i hope the photos show you what to do and the video works

cut dowel around 8" and put cut a point. cut banding strap around 9". This was just ruff, off the cuff sizes.

hacksaw an inch slot in the dowel and put a mark 30mm down the strap

i took a knife and chisel to the shell and opened up the letterbox hole in the front of the shell. you need to cut it square and the same width as the strapping.

 

Taken earlier in the garden, not much wind but gives the idea

most of the stuff i had laying around so cost me next to nothing to make 20 of them.

 

i when out yesterday to try them out and the movement was great. i took a quick video with the mobile whilst the shower pasted over.

 

 

 

all the best

 

Phil.
