The design actually started out in copper with brass and handblown glass inserts, then quickly moved to steel because of costs. Too bad, because it looked pretty cool. In the long run, I still think using materials that don't have to be painted is probably cheaper since it would last a lot longer, but oh well.
It's funny you brought up leveling the vane, because i just started getting paranoid that it wasn't going to work right. Hopefully the wind will pick up around here this weekend so I can test it out.

Thanks for the advice.
