Synopsis

Clearly illustrated guide to build a balanced kinetic sculpture, of birch plywood and stainless steel, that glides around slowly with the motion of ambient air in a room. · Clear instructions and material selection guide · Traceable full scale templates with matchlines · Examples of steaming and bending plywood · Illustrations of forming steel rod and balancing tips · Great project for individuals or parent & child teams · Educational, challenging, inspiring and fun to build "This is a wonderful parent & child project or just to make it for yourself or as a gift. The hands-on experience of making the sculpture and understanding the physics in balancing it just right is rewarding in itself. Another reward is the finished product: A gliding conversation piece taking flight on the air."
