Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I saw a post on Other Power about a Youtube video taken at one of Hugh Piggott's windmill workshops. This was based on Guemes Island, Washington USA, in April this year. Looks like a lot of fun.
