Vintage Windmill and Wind Generator Forum

Someone was asking about building a wooden tower. Yesterday while looking at old pictures I found these of the first tower I ever built. Was trying to win the hand of a fair lady so I decided to give her a windmill. Windmill was a Dempster #12. The only windmill I had was a Monitor Model L on a tower built out of square tubing. Used a Dempster top cap and storm stay to get my angles didn't have a clue about what size angle iron to use so we used 1/4 inch. every where. Wouldn't ever do it again. Man got tired of drilling holes.
The caught the fair lady to only realize later I wish I hadn't. She ran me off which ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me.

That is one awesome tower you built. Glad things worked out for you in the end.

Wayne, did you recoup your tower? lol

No. I gave it to a guy who let me use his tractor to load my stuff.

Now that’s funny!
