Spinnekop #24: Omgeving (part 1)
This is
part 24
in a
32 part
series:
Spinnekop
On the drawing there is a small bit showing how the mill is situated
So i will try to recreated that. First by laying it out on a sheet of plywood
Next I create the ditch where the water is pumped into. So it is the higher part of the surroundings.
The water needs to be routed back to the lower part. I made a sluice to regulated the amount of water that will rush back.
Added a piece of draining pipe to take the water to the lower end of the surroundings
No that i have the dimensions a can create a box to contain it all and add the other ditches
I sealed the ditches with roof repair compound
To make the surroundings more interesting i will add some fences. One is made of saw lumber the other made of logs.
Next i add the "kruipalen", these are used to move the top of the windmill into the wind and secure it.
To add strength to the corners and make them more interesting i will add dovetail splines.
The result so far.
