Default Bob Bobblehead

Hi Everyone
I couldn't help my self.I noticed no one had done a bobblehead.It a lot of fun to put him on the dash and drive down a gravel road.Or you can sit him on the table and give him a good flip. Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob well you get the picture.

Great idea Windsong! What did you use for the spring and how did you attach it to the carving ( or is that asking to give a trade secret away?)?

Thank you thank you !!!
Eddy i carved him then i cut off his head { that don't sound good} I removed his head.I straightened out the hook end of the spring .I then drilled a little hole in the body .Next i stuck the end into the drilled hole that way i didn't have a big hole in the body that you could have seen. I cut the spring to length.Next i drilled a hole in the head big enough to put the spring into. I put a lead sinker up in the head before i glued in the spring the lead is to make his head shack more.{ DO NOT TELL MY SON I WAS IN HIS FISHING BOX!!!}The spring was from a rebuild kit that fits a Gearheart Govenor for a White Superior engine.You know you can't throw away any thing like a spring you may need it to make a bobble head out of Ha ha .
