backyard wind generator - Combined Metal and Wood project




For Dr. Drueckhammer's AS&D 405 class online. My video presentation for my wood project and metal project. I combined the two. I want to admit I had a lot of guidance through the entire project from my professional welder of a husband, who won't ever let me do a simple project. I also needed man power to lift the steel. The table alone is estimated to weigh 800+ pounds. It's not going anywhere after its final move to the back yard. All video and pictures are copyright Chandler Construction 2011-2012.
