Fork and Spoon Balance Point: Giant Version

A Giant Version made using a pitchfork and shovel. People are amused by this one, particularly when a gentle push makes it oscillate or spin. Note we had to cut the handle for the pitchfork shorter and the black band on the shovel handle is a helpful adjustable (sliding) weight. Safety note: be careful of feet — these are fairly heavy garden tools. You don’t want them landing on toes! And the device topples easily.Giant2GiantCloseup
