Popular Post heppnerguy Posted July 29, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Here is a little project I saw on Steve Good's site last week and decided to give it a try. I am in the process of making a neighbor one of the combines like I made during Christmas last year. I thought it would be fun to give my neighbor a windmill along with the combine to kind of set it off, as it is a farm thing too. It was a fun little project and I will most likely make a few more as I have a lot of country family folks in my family. I know they would probably like one also. It is an easy and fun project to make . This one I made with BB Ply. Dick heppnerguy meflick, frankorona, Dan and 14 others 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you plan on adding any color? Not going to add any color at this time. I think if I was going to add color I would have done so before I put it all together. why don't you build one and use color and post it so I might have an idea on how to do it?

I am Kicking around the idea of cutting them and selling some as a kit for the buyer to assemble. 1. it would give the buyer, who might like them and isnt a scroller to take on a fun task. 2. It might be seen as a rather fun little gift 3. It would make shipping easy and inexpensive for me. 4. The cost would be super inexpensive for me too.

Hi Pete: The people in Arizona probably haven't seen a windmill up close This is your opportunity to start a new fad.
