Re: FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT WINDMILL
How do I get rid of the photo data that is on the bottom of my attachments? Do I have to rename them or ? before I attach them?

FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT WINDMILL
All of these photos (except the brown one with cedar shingles) look like a Baker L to me....The brown-colored, "shingled one" is the oldest photo and thought to have been taken by Wright himself. I'm wondering what kind of machine that is? (I think the tower was new in 1896) images-2.jpeg ...

Re: Windmills and a real "keeper"!
That first snow has always been a wake-up call to me: I haven't even gotten close to finishing everything I started last spring, nor have I picked up my hoses, and my tools, etc, etc, etc. "Now, just where did I put my snow shovel?... and, did the gas in my snowblower carb. turn to jelly and wh...

Windmills and a real "keeper"!
I learned a long time ago that a bouquet of flowers was the cheapest insurance policy a guy could ever buy and now that I'm learning just fast time is going, I'd better say what I feel while I can....so, the other day after some snow, I thought I'd stand on the back step and use my iPhone and then t...

Re: Aermotor spoke tap
They were so reasonable that I ordered two; One to lose, and another that I can't find!
(If I had ordered three, I could have gotten the job done a lot faster!)

Re: Removing vane lettering
Hi all, Before I go spending $$ trying to find the best product to remove original vane lettering, anyone have a favorite tonic? Just regular old paint stripper? I've been an antique dealer a good chunk of my life and have run into many "unique" problems during restorations. An item being...

Re: Removing vane lettering
I found a pre 1897 Aermotor tower that had JW D. and Son Corsicana Texas inside one leg. I'd give my left nut to know who JW D. was since I live in Corsicana. Have searched everything I can put my hands on but no luck so far. Wayne, If you haven't already, check out the Sandborn Insurance Maps at t...
