How can I find a "How To" site that shows me how to build a windmill for my home garden decor?

  1. Here is one site that is selling plans to make your own windmill. The plans cost $9.95 and it is a really cute windmill. I will keep checking to see if I can find another option, maybe even free!

    http://how-to-plans.com/garden_windmill_plans_large_.html
  2. Probably not www.fat-pie.com
  3. Google! Type "How to build a windmill for a garden"
  4. try hgtv.com or diynetwork.com (or diy.com not sure which it is but there should be a link from hgtv.com)

    hope this helps!! and good luck with the project!
  5. HowStuffWorks.com or Shopsmith.com
  6. go to ask.com and type in how do i build a windmill? you can probably print instructions on how to build, without having to pay anyone.
  7. Why don't you just do an image search for "windmill" and find a picture you like? Be courageous! You don't need a plan!



    Do you want it to pump? You can make a simple piston pump from a smooth pipe (PVC, copper). Use leather from a shoe shop for the seal. Saturate it with grease to keep it from rotting and make provision to replace it now and then. Similarly, use leather for the check valves.



    Drive the pump with a simple cam attached to the windmill axel.
  8. I think the home Depot website.
