That turns pretty easy. How did you make it do that?

[kevincaron]

@gyrofix Two bearings under the dish. They are rated to something like 800 lbs each. But they take all the wobble out of just one bearing and they are sealed so water should not be a problem.

Thanks for asking.....

I like the look and animation of this one! Balance must have been tricky.

@kazl1m Thanks, it was a fun piece to create. The balance was not that hard after I figured out how.

Thanks for posting.

Looks great! And I know that puppy was a LOT of work. Whew! More Kevin magic.
