Hello,
My name is CJ. I’m from Lockhart,TX. I’m looking to build my own windmill tower and possibly rebuild an old motor. I’ve never attempted either before so I’ll be searching this forum diligently looking for info, I’m specifically looking for tower plans/dimensions. I haven’t decided whether I will go with a wooden tower or galvanized steel but I build things for a living with both materials so I am confident that I can tackle either. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, CJ
