Hi everyone,
just signed up to this forum & I'd like to say what a great site the backshed is.
Having being inspired by the people on this website I have just obtained 4 x FP motors of varying age from council cleanups recently & would like to build my first windmills.
I tried emailing the guy selling the PVC blades via this website but have had no responses for over a month now.
Does he still sell them?

Keep up the good work everyone.

Paul.

Hi Paul

Did you use the form on the Anthony's PVC blade order page? There was a bug in there a little while ago and it may not have sent your message to him. I just tested it then and it apears to be working, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Hi Guys,
I have tried over the last month probably about 6-7 times but no response via the backshed website. I even tried yesterday.

I have tried from a work email & home but no luck.

I used the order form on the backshed website. I even got through the "how many" test and proceeded through but no response.

Thanks for the quick response guys. I'll try again now.

Paul.

Ok Anthony, I have just sent through an order for 6 blades @ 1.0M with end caps, clockwise rotation.

Hopefully it makes it as I got to the end again through your order form saying that you will contact to confirm order/payment.

I can see that message has gone through.

Sorry guys but it looks like I may have broken that order page when I was doing some updates a few weeks back. Its all working now. My fault.

No worries Glen.

Do you want me to re-send the order?

3.Make it stronger than it should be.

4. Don't rush the first job as the second job will cost more and take mor

Hi Andy,
glad to hear the blades work well.
I'm hearing you, I think I would fail trying to make my own blades & the time to do them.
The PVC idea is great.
It would be better again if they could be made from a PVC free type of recycled plastic but it's a great option for people having a go at DIY. And should get more people attempting these FP windmills
All credit to Anthony for offering this option to people.

Paul.
