Smile Instructions for animating a dog's tail

I have posted instructions for animating the tail of a carved dog. It is one of the most simple and maintenance free animations I have come across. It does require some electronic skill to make the tail wag but I also provided instructions and even complete assembly for that part. Once the dog is carved and the magnet swings, the tail will wag as the maagnet passes overe a small coil. The whole thing can be build under a table lamp and run with a solar cell when the light is turned on. If you're interested the instructions are posted at www;livingartinwood.com. If I can assisst in any way let me know. I enjoy seeing carvers stretch out and try making heir carving come alive.
