Brings us no joy.

We received this 'loony' a few days ago and since that day it has only increased our anxiety. It won't twist and turn in high winds, light breezes or whatever! The "instructions" were obscured directly from the mail tag when it was sent to us. It's in shape as the online videos showed us, with no "instructions" destroyed. (My husband is a diesel engine mechanic and we built our own house from scratch so we figured this little metal wind turbine would be no better than our general skills.) How wrong we were! I have a feeling something went wrong when the metal pieces weren't cut all the way through as intended, so we had to pry them out, resulting in a few unwanted creases in areas that should have been flat. At the first touch of the marble center, prices fell immediately. I set them aside and planned to glue them on later. No matter how we bend it, it brings us no joy. Every time we look at something that's waving sideways like a flag or swaying violently, we only cling more tightly to our shortcomings. We both literally spent HOURS fixing it to the point where it's now become a running joke in our family. straightened it and unfolded the tongues again. We tried to make the fins on the outside wider apart, smaller apart and equal to the rest of the fins. We tried not to bend the center as much in order to bend the center further. This thing doesn't work. In order not to annoy myself, I bought another one from another company. This one will inevitably spin in mid-air as one of us despairs of abandoning it. Now it's unredeemable and we can't try to bend it without breaking it, which is why the spinner in the video is just as good as her. will beat regardless of uneven curves. It's definitely windy, judging by the tree in the background. Don't waste your money on this cheap spinner. I will try a more expensive version from another seller and hope we will enjoy it.
