To begin with, you will need the right supplies. The most notable required item is wood, since this is what your windmill will be built out of; it’s recommended to choose a strong and durable wood that is rot-resistant, since your windmill will likely be outside (where it will be exposed to various weather conditions, such as wind and rain).

You will also need specific tools in order to build a windmill successfully; some of these tools include (but are not limited to) safety glasses, various saws (such as a jigsaw, a circular saw, and a job site saw), clamps, a countersink bit, a speed square, SuperJaws, and a drill. You can also choose to use a miter saw instead of a circular saw if you have the equipment available.

In any case, once you’ve assembled the necessary tools and acquired the right type of wood it’s time to begin construction. First, you will need to decide how tall you want your windmill to be, and then measure and cut your wood accordingly. It’s also important to be precise in your measurements so that the four individual legs of your windmill base balance evenly (otherwise your windmill will be at risk for tipping over).

You will also need to craft a sturdy platform for your actual windmill prop to rest on. Make sure that it is level and capable of bearing the weight of your windmill prop, otherwise it might unbalance or break.

And finally, you should also take steps to ensure the integrity of your windmill tower as a whole; in particular crisscrossed slats along the top portion can help to stabilize the windmill platform while also ensuring that the windmill base doesn’t collapse in on itself.
