Kevin's 9-foot-tall steel sculpture Diamante is taking shape. He's roughed together the outer and inner diamonds and set them on bearings. Now he's fine-tuning the mechanics so the two diamonds can rotate independently - and smoothly.
Yeah, I still have to free up the bearings to get them to spin in the breeze. I have some finish work to do on the welds, add a little grease and it should be good to go. Thanks for commenting and check back later.
It seems as if the two diamonds have too much friction and won't spin easily in the wind. My guess is that you aren't finished and some adjustment needs to be made or a bearing added between the two. Am I close?
