Jabberwocky Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Fantastic. Are those wires going to actually make the windmill run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargrin Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Fantastic. Are those wires going to actually make the windmill run? Yes. Depending on what the new base will be, I plan on hiding the 9volt battery that powers it. I needed the extra length because I don't know where that will be.

Moderator Froggy the Great Posted May 27, 2011 Moderator Share Posted May 27, 2011 Yeah. I took out a nice motor out of a VCR. I'm late to the party, but I'm Froggy and I approve of this message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargrin Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 Thanks for the kind words guys. So good news and bad news. Windows are nearly done. Bad news wires got snagged on something on my bench. Mill then took a tumble and pushed in the motor. Glue broke around the base of it and then fell out. (sigh) So it looks like I will need to peal off a few boards and will have to re-seat the thing.

dargrin Posted May 31, 2011 Author Share Posted May 31, 2011 "working"....Hmmm Well I will call it a looks like working. So I started painting the one side just to play around with colors for aging. I am pretty sure that will go with what is here but then again I am pretty tired. It is obvious to me that more blending, shading and the like needs to happen but this is where its going.
