You want the country to build a decorative windmill? I thought about it before. Now, having gained experience in this business, just in front of the technical aspects of wind structure, and step by step instructions visually confirm my words.

Drawing

Suitable mills drawings can always be found on the Internet, or to base my version (pictured below).

Decorative scheme of the mill is sufficient to print to the printer, so you can go for further action

But if you want to get an exclusive design, then it should at least sketch out a rough chart with his own hands. Let it not be beautiful, more importantly, to all sizes and there was an overall plan structures were noted. In this case, you can get something like this:

Homemade drawing may not be too beautiful, but what exactly is the original

I'll show you how going decorative windmill garden with his own hands in the second drawing, sketched by hand.

Training

Intended for the manufacture of decorative design, you will need certain materials and tools:

materials

• timber;
• Steel rod with a cross section of 14 mm and a length of 100 cm;
• Molded 20 mm;

The better will linings, the less the need to process the finished construction

• Plastic pipe;
• Paint or varnish;
• iron sheet;
• Reiki;

Mounting wooden rake come in handy for connecting some of garden windmills

• ScrewsYou can also use nails;
• Bearings.

Constructed decorative windmill garden with his own hands can a variety of sizes, so size bars, boards, pipes and self-tapping screws, choose it according to your project.

I recommend to buy materials with a certain margin, as in the process will be waste.

Instruments

• Pencil with straightedge;
• Roulette;
• Screwdriver;

It is desirable to use instead of a screwdriver screwdriver. If you do not have such power, I advise you to time to ask someone, because with it the assembly will take place much faster and easier.

• Drill;
• Hacksaw on wood;
• Sandpaper.

Now that you have everything you need, you can begin to collect decorative mill hands.

Assembly

Getting to the manufacture of wooden mill:

Photo	Description
	cut battens to a length of 540 mm; Putting their self-tapping screws in the square, which will skirt the lower part of the structure; perform control measurements of the diagonals, to ensure that no distortions.
