How do you make a whooeee stick?

Question

My grandfather used to whittle a stick, with notches on it, and a propellor at the end and he would rub it with another stick, and say "whooeee" and the propellor would turn the other direction.

I'd like to make one with my son, but don't know how to do it. Can I use chop sticks as a starter?

Answer 1

I had never heard of this and was intrigued. here is a site I found about it .

Hope this helps. i am going to try to make one myself

I just finished making four of them. Three as gifts and one for myself. I followed the directions and they work as directed.
