Here is a very attractive custom windmill located in Colorado. This customer built a wooden windmill tower and then got a top parts kit.

A customer recently told me about some items he has in his garden along with his new windmill. I was able to locate the manufacturer and just got their catalogs in the mail. (Yes mail as in an envelope delivered to my USPS mail box-this manufacturer is not on the internet) After looking through the catalogs it certainly looks like they have a number of interesting products. I will be going on a road trip as soon as I can get away over to their manufacturing facility to take a look at their products, see how they are made and getting more information. This manufacturer is in the United States, the raw materials they use are American made and the people working there are Americans. As you know I sell quality products that are Made in the USA and come from small manufacturers who use Made in the USA raw materials. It is looking like I may have found a whole new line of yard and garden products.

There are several ways to mount a weathervane to the top of a cupola – some cupolas have a threaded mounting plate sized at 5/8 the inch or 3/4 inch. The black powder coated weathervanes are available with this mount.
There are two cupola mounts available for the Antique copper line – a four sided mount (for four and eight sided cupolas) and a three sided cupola mount for three, six and nine sided cupolas.
If you are planning to mount your weathervane to a cupola please email me some photos of your cupola so I can give you some suggestions of which mount has the best chance of working. I do not list the cupola mounts – there are so many different varieties and versions of cupolas that I really need to get more information before you place an order.

A customer just sent me a photo of her new 10 foot aluminum windmill. Certainly looks like a nice quiet and pretty place to spend some quality time. Thank you for your photo and comments. Click on the photo – it will open in a new window and then click it again to enlarge.
My husband’s father’s day present is here and we put it together and found it a home by my little garden barn. I’m soooo pleased. It took about 2 1/2 hours to assemble and then probably that much time again to get it level in it’s new home. I was surprised that it shipped from Shipshewana, IN and not KY.I made trips to Shipshewana the last 2 years and tried to buy a windmill there but the store wasn’t open either time…………and I ended up getting one from there without even knowing it.I’ve attached a picture of the windmill. Looks like I need to power wash my barn ! ha haThanks…………we are very pleased with the purchase.10 foot aluminum windmill in a beautiful garden
A customer recently got a 4 foot aluminum windmill and also a 17 inch Route 66 mini windmill for her garden. She helped me put the instructions together for the 4 foot aluminum windmill by reading over what I had and telling me if the instructions made any sense to her. She apparently had not put anything like this together before. It looks she did a great job in putting them together and getting them placed in her garden . Really attractive setting and placement. Here are her comments: (the cat is real in the first picture – nicely posed) — the pictures will enlarge by clicking on them – and then click on the photo again after it opens a new window.
Hi Ron. I was able to assemble both the 17" and 4 ft windmills. It took many hours but I did it! I've attached pictures of the 4 ft windmill and will send you another e-mail with pictures of the 17" windmill.

Customer saw my garden windmill listing on Amazon and wondered if it was possible to repair his Garden Windmill. After many years the mast head failed. Sent him a new mast head and he was able to fix his windmill.
If you are thinking about repairing an older or damaged windmill be certain to get my NEWSLETTER about the windmills. The parts I have are for the Made in the USA Windmill and will normally NOT fit the imported windmills. I do not carry parts for the imported windmills.

Here are some photos sent from a garden windmill customer in the Channel Islands. The Channel Islands are located between England and France and are an independent country. Here is some information from the customer. Thanks for the information and photos
Incidently my interest for windmills goes back many years when horticulture was our main industry and the island had many glasshouse properties and the mills were used for pumping water into the greenhouses(called vineries as they were originally built to grow vines the grapes being exported to England and France) later tomatoes then flowers were grown.Unfortunatly there are now no more mills and only a handfull of vineries, competition ending the industry.Today Gsy like Jsy are major finiancial centers it brings in a lot of money to the Island but has made everything terribly expensive and over crowded, we have 2480 people to the Sq Mile.
