As The Crow Flies (completed)

 Additional gears were soldered in place, the head was attached and I retired an old garden implement for the tail section. A copper mount was devised and  the tail was riveted in place.

The base was created using an old metal tool box and a piece of maple. A single gear and two wrenches were riveted in place on the lid of the box.

I created a brass post to mount the crow to. The crows body can be tilted to allow for different viewing angles while the head remains stationary.
