making it into a Art form
I liked the projects and to me this book turns whirlgig projects into a art form. Since some of the projects use more complicated systems and combinations of operations to move different parts it is the book that can inspire the inventer in you. Of course, I mean this in a good way even if this is your first try at making whirlgigs or if you are experienced in and just need some inspiration.
