In the past, before all of the new innovations, windmills were used to produce electricity from wind for grinding grain into flour or pumping water for crop irrigation. As you can see ranchares, farmers and homesteaders of 1800’s couldn’t imagine their life without one. Wood Trick bring in you the feel and look of the olden times necessity to this century. Now, you can build Windmill model by yourself and experience the magic of the past, except of course it will not grind or pump, but it will move its sails as a real one by gently turning a gear, or if you will take it outside the wind will turn the blades.
This Wood Trick model kit is one of the 2016 year models.

This kit has precision cut wood pieces that pop out of their panels, and fit together precisely. Every thing is a force fit and requires no glue. It takes patience to align all the gears simultaneously for the final assembly, and an extra hand may help. I did break the small shaft on the large vane, but glued it back together and it's fine. I gained a renewed respect for the humble toothpick, after seeing how their tiny points fit in the final locating holes to support each gear. (I would have felt safer if they used rods for the axles instead of toothpicks.) It all works and turns properly. The assembly guide is all pictures, and when you observe all the fine details, you'll have a successful piece. Basically if something doesn't fit quite right, either it was the wrong piece or was not fully installed. It's pretty amazing.
