Surrounded by tulips (naturally), this charming windmill is the perfect do-it-yourself project for the yard or garden. With its Old World look and blades spinning in the breeze, the project adds a colorful accent and eye-catching motion that complements any landscape. The windmill features realistic details like diminutive doors, windows and a guard rail, and the turret is mounted on a lazy-susan bearing so the vanes will catch even the slightest breeze. Designed to be easy enough for almost any woodworker, the project features mostly straight cuts, full-size traceable patterns for the angles and modular construction. To build, trace the pieces from plywood and standard lumber and cut everything out. Next, assemble using glue and nails, and paint the base, tower and vanes. To finish, put everything together, sit back and enjoy the breeze. The windmill stands about 35 inches tall from the base to the top of the rotating turret, but the project is light enough for one person to move aside when mowing the lawn.
