German pyramid problem solved


zimmerstutzen

Recommended Posts

I ran a post a bit ago, about how to construct the pivot point for the carousel.  I was strolling down the strip shopping center in town and as I walked by, I looked through the window of a shop called "Tuesday Morning"  they had at least a dozen different models of pyramids, so I went in to look at them.  Imported from Germany.  A simply 4 candle pyramid was $34.00, so I bought one to examine the construction.  They also had simple candle arches (Schwiboggen)  and rauchermannerchen. (little smoking figures.)  an lit incense cone is placed in the hollow interior and the smoke comes out the figure's mouth.  I made one of those last year on my lathe going by on-line pictures, but seeing all these in person gives me a new ambition to scroll/turn these things instead of just studying.
