Weather Vane

We installed a weathervane just in time for Mathew's visit.   This is the only nautical thing I have done in months.  The house construction is progressing.  We finished the tower roof and before the scafolding came down,  I wanted to get the vane up.  We whittled it out of scraps of gavalume roofing.  It rides on a bearing supported shaft and will turn a needle on a compass rose on the ceiling of the tower room.  Here are some pics:
