WEBDec 13, 2018 · Blanks are made by cutting a 2-by-6 on a diagonal (photo 2): Make the narrow end 1-1/2 inches wide and that ensures a width of about 4 inches on the wide end. If you cut the first pair carefully, you’ll have blanks to use as guides for the rest. Nailing a cleat on the pattern blank will keep everything in line as you saw each 2-by-6.

WEBDec 13, 2018 · Not sure if this has been posted here before, worth it again. Wild Bill's is up in the hills above me just below Shaver Lake. This is the best collection of windmills I have ever seen. Most are working and more are to come from what I see. I needed a part and he was nice enough to supply me with it. He also has an "old town" built next to it.

WEBDec 13, 2018 · I’ve done as much research as I can do and it appears to be a U.S. Wind Engine and Pump Co. mill.

Here’s the info I have (photos attached): - the tail has the visible large US, but the rest is pretty rusted and can’t be made out.

WEBDec 13, 2018 · That's a good idea. Wooden wheel windmills scare me when it comes to painting. Seems that nothing under the sun will stay on one that's under the sun. Dad was a pro painter his whole life. commercial, industrial, etc etc. He would say to use a good oil primer, and then a very good top coat of oil paint, or high end Acrylic latex. Maybe 2 …
