Ended up here by looking for some 'Out of the Box' thinking/inspiration; Hands down one of the best How-To videos, I've seen.

Thank you for the very nice comment. Come back anytime, my friend!

That was an incredible video pretty much step by step without being really long. I'm sure anyone can build a windmill after watching your video.

Thanks Tom. That was exactly my intention. Years ago, I wanted to build a 6-sided windmill but didn't know how. Hopefully this will help someone to get started.

Thanks for the great video As soon as my work shed is build I am going to make a windmill. I love making things out of wood.🙏🤝💜

I love this windmill. I'm going to make one and I'm wondering if you used pressure treated plywood?Thanks

@TimTools99

Thank you. I only used a pressure treated 2X4 on the bottom. If you make one, I suggest you not use that 1/4 inch luan plywood for the strips on the sails. That stuff falls apart out in the weather. I am thinking about using some kind of plastic or even metal to make the strips for the sales next time.

@@TimTools99 Thanks Tim! Not sure what I'm going to use for the sails.

Great video's! But do you know that the dutch windmills always turn counter-clockwise? This is a mistake that is very often made (also by dutch people). I have a garden windmill myself and I'm planning on restoring it soon. So nice video's to watch here, thank you for your clear explanation.

Wow I didn't know. Great fact.

With a bird mouth router you could put together the 6 sides easier and with more solid space for gluing just the same beautiful construction you did

Okay thanks a lot

I have used plywood outside and coated it with all sorts of finnishes and still it de laminates so I would use timber in the construction .

Do you sell any Dutch Windmills? I have a homemade mini golf course in my backyard and really want a windmill feature, but I'm not creative at all. Could I commission you to build me one?

Tim, is there a reason you do not make the sides 48" tall, there by using the whole 4'x8" sheet?

I really don't know how I arrived at the measurements I used. You could make yours any size you want. good luck.

sorry to spoil the fun, but in the Netherlands all windmills turn counterclockwise (your model turns clockwise);

@TimTools99

Oh man! I did not know that. Is there a particular reason that they all spin counterclockwise? From now on, I will make sure the are spinning right. I don't suppose most people will care which way it spins but thanks for this information.

😍😍👏 You can check out youtube.com/@stargazer1273 he has some great windmills too!
