I find the older my parents get, the more joy I get out of making them happy. Easy to tell you feel the same. Like you, I am lucky to still have them both.

Its so nice to see a daughter so helpful, patient and loving to their parents.

That's awesome, April! Was great to see you working and dancing with your mom. Life is definitely too short.

Making parents proud is the goal of every child, Great work April

This is a nice video, old one, but really good, what do like the most is to see how much proud your mom is of you, and how much she enjoy working with you . You are lovely and she is even more!

What an awesome mother you have, the pride for her daughter just beams. Her enthusiasm to learn. I could not stop smiling, love the video thanks!

: ) Thank you. Yeah we were both having a great time.

Love the intro, April. Also hilarious to see your mannerisms in your mom. Great family project, which turned out awesome.

April, I could tell your Mom was so proud of you. It really warmed her heart to be part of this fun project. Keep up the good work and enjoy these precious moments.

I think this is great. Wish my Mom and Dad were still alive and at an age where we could do projects together. Cherish and love these moment. I am 68 years old and still get inspired to build things from your videos. Think this one might look good in the 50 ft dog bone raised bed I made this last spring. Dave

You did a great job on that, April. I'm sure your parents are thrilled that you took up woodworking/building/all-around creating anything you want. That had to be so much fun working with your mom like that...for both of you. Thanks for sharing that with us.

was great to see your mum getting so into it helping you build, its so great to be able to spend time like that with your loved ones. Love your video's.

Your mum is sweet, makes me miss mine... your family seem lovely and just to see their smiles as you work together, laughing and joking and dancing it's amazing.

April: Thank you for posting this video and for the free plans. I completed my windmill frame yesterday using leftover pressure treated lumber from other projects. Since I built it by myself I made a jig out of scrap pieces, laid on the ground with holes, to hold the legs in place during the construction. It looks great and now the wife wants it painted! Thanks again.

Great timing April, I was close to retiring my old decorative windmill in the back yard, failing metal leg. I never gave a thought to building a wood tower. Another thumbs up for April. Thank you.

Great project as always, but better yet teaching your mother about woodworking is priceless! And I've noticed another videos you do the same thing with your father! And taking the time to dance with your mom, wonderful! Thanks for putting your all into this video!

I jus recently made a gymnastics high bar for my daughter and posted some pictures and video of her using it, my sister said since you made that so well I need wedding table numbers made.. LOL... woodworkers never stop..

That was so fun to watch! You are so sweet to you parents. My wife, children and myself love your videos. Looks like I am going to be building that dog and cat food dispenser. God bless and keep up the great work!!

like this a lot for being something simple... glad to see your mom helping.. life is short have to enjoy moment's like this..

So awesome to see you and your mom working together. Thanks for this video!

beautiful work April, and the mothers love at the end.....PRICELESS

Quality time spent with family, and a nice show-piece to remember it!

Thanks April for this video I was going to purchase one for $300 . But you just inspired me to build one with my son and wife . Thanks great parents

Liked the green Jigsaw already in the videos before, but nice your Mom joined the club of "Jigsaw Masters". Great to see you with a mobile saw stop to protect you... and for sure a lovely wind mill :-)

Nice project. It looks really good, April. I like the look on your Mom's face after making the cut with the jigsaw. Priceless!

I always watch but never comment... I just had to say that your family is awesome! Your mom is hilarious tossing the wood around as it came off the table saw. Just awesome!

Nice job! You owed your Mom a project after the build you did with your Dad, and she looks pretty darn happy with it (who wouldn't be??) Nothing like building things for family to make our hobby worthwhile!!!

Of all the things I have learned in life, one of the most important is when the opportunity is given, always dance with your parents or your children. Love the video, love the windmill, love that momma was learning and helping....and she seemed excited for that jigsaw! LOL

I loved the Mother Daughter project April. Your mom is very handy with a jigsaw and the windmill looks great in the Texas colours keep up the good work. Darren

Great Job Miss April !!!!!!!! it looks like Mom had a lot of fun working with you. Also I did not pick up much of this on your video, please tell us how much you love you "Super Jaws". Have a great day and keep up the great work.

April, two years ago I repaired our windmill of the exact design. My repair was to prime and paint the blades and vane. Our choice of pattern does differ just slightly, where the inner hub and about 1.5" from the hub I painted a bright blue, then white, and finally the tips were red like yours. The vane was done with a couple red and white stripes and like you, I added a field of the blue with half a dozen, or more, white stars. Thanks for posting the instructions as I am sure that in a couple more years, I will need to replace the metal framework of the windmill's tower. As always, gear video!

Great family project April!! Looks like it was a lot of fun. Thanks!!

the look on you're mom's face after that first cut was pure joy - priceless! great video!

Awesome video April. Love to see your family too.

Awesome job April and mom. I really glad that you and your mom are so close. I was just as close to my mom also. Keep up the great work Roy

Not sure how I missed this video before. I think this will be my next project. Do you ever go back and watch your old videos and say why did I do it that way? Keep posting videos because we love them.

Seeing you dance with your mom, makes me miss mine. She is missed. 🙁🙁🙁

I love this windmill I have built it but i put your birdhouse on top of it instead of the windmill. Thanks for the ideas. you are doing great work and enjoy watching your videos. they have pushed me to do more wood working .

Your best video ever mother&daughter project ,awesome..

Nice to see someone building a windmill for fun. I have been building windmills for a living for the last sixteen years

I love the family movies. Your folks are great sports. A cool project too.

fantastically Your positive attitude is so contagious that it covered the entire family, I am full of praise for you

I love your garage. That is a place of great joy.

Great video! Going to have a chat with the better half about building one for our mini-farm.

Well, well, well Captain Shack is here

We have a 20+ year old version of this in our back yard that is in disrepair. I've been planning on building a new one with the original blades & fin and now I know what I need to do, thanks for the great video.

Cool project, it came out great!

Nice build! My son and i built a wooden windmill 12” tall for “show and tell” when he was in 5th grade. It never came back home!!

You have an Awesome Fun Family 😃👍 , Nice Work , As Always

That looks fantastic April, hope you do many more outdoor builds whilst the weather is fine

Wow great project , so good to see your Mom

That's very cool! Pretty awesome teaching your Mom how to use tools too ...

I LOVE that you can stop and dance with your mom in the middle of work! So sweet!!!

BTW, loved the tutorial! love the piece!

April this is a great video. I wish I had seen it sooner.I needed something to keep people from running over the upper part of my well that sticks up in the yard. In the last 6 years it has been run over 4 times, once my wife ran over it wirh my zero turn mower . I,m still scrtaching my head over that. I finally bought a all metal unit at TSC and installed but I like yours a lot better.

Sooo nice to see you get Mom involved and especially you two working together! Happy Mom happy home! I guessing Mom wants her own drill and jig saw now (or even better have you come by to help - haha)

Love it!!!!!! ❤️ And y'all have the exact same laugh. It's adorable

I love the interaction with your Mom!!! Oh and good job too!

Looks great April.

Love all your builds, thanks for the inspiration.

Cool mom and daughter time. Good for you taking care of mom 👍.

Your amazing! Every time I watch your videos I look at your subscribers count. Its always going up!!! I joined around 16000 something now you are over 200,000. 👍🏻 my favorite was the corvette one. Lol

Very cool your windmill!!! I'm from Brazil and was looking for information about this!!! I go to make my American barn here in Brazil and also want to make windmill tower !!! You video will help me in the job!!! Thanks for share!!! Even though years ago this tutorial still can be used!!!

Nice Job April & Mom.... Keep up the good work

wow that looks great april!

Great video, and great to get your mom into it - pretty soon she'll have her own channel - and I really like the old Chev truck. Up here in the Frozen North (Ontario Canada) those all rusted away years ago!

Lindo projeto !!!!! Um abraço do Brasil !!!!!

Great job April! Thanks for the video.

You are a genius! Thank you for the tips and ideas!

Awesome job April

lovely work and so nice to see the family involved 😁😁😁

When you mom is happy !!! you are blessed🙏 excellent work, the angel it’s the bests protection.

That came out soo coool! love it! Your mom looks so happy. I want to find me a windmill to put together now. lol

That was a neat project that included quality family time! Keep cool down there.

It is refreshing to see parents encouraging their children's talents even in adulthood! Parents should never stop being parents! You are so blessed, April!

Nice job April, I am from Brazil and I watch all your vídeos and all weekends I hope new vídeos, congratulations

I really enjoyed this , your momma is so adorable !

That turned out great, and y'all pretty good at cuttin the rug.

Came out great, I just made a windmill base a week or so ago for my wife, it's smaller but fits our yard well, I used a 10 dollar windmill from harborfreight it's used to scare moles but works well as a deco.

It never has although we have small stakes on each leg to give it a bit more stability. In Central Texas we haven't as much wind as down on the Coast. I'm sure your Mom will love it as mine still does. Thanks for watching.

i think it was so awesome that u and your mom did this project together! u should do more w her she looks sweet😄

great job April I really enjoy your video's.

great build! I've just cleaned up an old plane I got from eBay using vinegar. I didn't know about the salt trick though and will use this when I clean the rest up!

thanks for sharing my wife wants a windmill bilt. very helpful.

Great project!

Totally Awesome video. Thank you for inspiration!

great video April..

fantastic - thank you for sharing, you are really really good at what you do.

That's so cool. That came out great!

LOVE those super jaws for holding wood. Ironic, I found an old dilapidated windmill in Norman and bought it. I refinished it, new hardware, etc-etc. But, removing that old rust was a PITA...wish I would have done what you did. Looks great!

Cool, nice work

Turned out great! 🤓

April...that's cool. I'm your brazilian fan. I love so much to see your videos. .. congrats

This video made me smile.
