I continue to be amazed, my wife continues to shake her head, mainly because the last thing I ever need is “a new project”. But darn I gotta do this and probably need 3, 2 as gifts. I’m a plans in the hand guy. Plus it’s my way of showing a little support for the time, effort, and continued creativity 👍🏼 👍🏼

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

You may think about making 10 lol. And thank you so much for your supporting the channel. It's what keeps the channel moving forward.

[@bigboy7073]

GREAT project! As a Dutchman, I will be installing the "sails" onto the frame so the mill turns counter-clockwise as a Dutch windmill does. 🇳🇱

[@scottmichael3745]

Cool! Thanks for telling me counterclockwise, that's good intell!

[@dstout9176]

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks, enjoy the build!

[@narutofanz85]

Omg if i can seriously make this i would be so amazed with myself. Thank you so much for doing this!

[@ChrisStCyr-gnt7]

If he can, you can. You don’t even need all those tools.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

You can do it!

[@kevindurica6092]

That might be a hot ticket item. Nice build.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I agree. I think people are going to love it.

[@withoutfurtheradoforever]

The art of craft.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Gotta love it!

[@paulrooster2108]

Man those are some pretty straight fence boards

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

They were some good ones!

[@dustbiter4018]

Once again another sellable project. You never cease to amaze me. Thanks for all you.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Let me know if you test the waters!

[@MaddMaxxWoodWorks]

Mathew this is one of for sure. Thank you so much for taking to time to share.

[@polop2301]

This is really cool! My late uncle used to built that style windmill in different sizes. If you’re ever in Weiser Idaho and see one he probably built it.

[@TheRobjanesse]

Congratulations on 600 thousand

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@Ricks2Cents]

*Nice Build I'll Give it a Shot!!!*

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Enjoy the build!

[@papascruffy]

That's cool, An FYI, Home Depot here sells 1 x 8 fence pickets 3/4" thick is nice to work with. They are still pretty cheap too!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Nice!

[@mikeedenfield4076]

Thank you for another awesome build , your great instructor Matt

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I appreciate that!

[@hansdegroot8549]

Great project. Thanks for sharing.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks for watching!

[@briannichols8414]

Very cool, sir! Gonna check with the boss & see if she'd like one 😉

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

You should!

[@2tart]

love it! thank you!

[@frankgreen7988]

You always seem to amaze me of what you can do

[@rayb2208]

I'll be trying this!!!

[@VillageOfPulaski-e4v]

Really like all the easy fence picket projects and I've made several of them, but have you ever thought about doing some intermediate level projects like some high end furniture? I'm sure a lot of the community would enjoy that as well, just a thought, love the channel Matthew !!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

It's been across my mind. I'll just have to see how things go.

[@6tim7]

What inspires you to create these projects. I'm curious if you would make a video showing your process. From the idea, to the prototype, to the complete project. I'm sure inspiration can come from anywhere. But let us get into the mind of Matthew Peech. Let's not go too far. I'm not sure if we can take it. 😅 keep doing what you do.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Check out "The Transforming Workbench 2.)" video on my channel. I take you guys through the process in that video

[@6tim7]

@MatthewPeechWoodworking i did my homework per your instructions. The ideas you have are great. I guess it's back to binge watching your videos! Thanks again sir!

[@paulhiggins3806]

Great project! I will be building at least one for myself. I can't keep up with all these great builds!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Have fun! This is a good one

[@bryanmartin8336]

When I see the thumbnail and literally say out loud, "Oh wow I hate that." It means I'm not making it. Or even watching the video. But I'll still give engagement just because I like your channel. Hopefully the next one resonates more!

[@francisgill1929]

Wow, another awesome video, I love it, thank you so much for sharing

[@starfish3704]

Wowza , that’s just so cool. Thanks Matthew!😊

[@philliprunge]

Absolutely beautiful and I got to be the first person to comment.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@RogerMcCauley-s1e]

That's outstanding!!!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you.

[@johnpayne6709]

I will be made this.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Best of luck

[@johnpayne6709]

Sorry, I was saying I will be making this . I have sold a lot of your project . Thanks from alabama

[@osrikvonjager1717]

Great job again, I could use your help finding a well made routor table. Thanks JV

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I'll be on the look out

[@fugginchit1]

You could turn the top piece into a birdhouse as an alternative

[@daviddura1172]

Or….. change slightly to also be a planter box Hole in the ROOF Floor in bottom

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Yes!

[@a.v.auditsl8517]

Yeah! So the birds could shit all over the plants!! 😂

[@kimberlythomas8366]

Thanks!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I appreciate it! Thank you so much for the support!

[@robertr4193]

Pretty cool

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank ya

[@bsw051]

I have some extra random lumber i was trying to figure out what to make with it. Appreciate the inspiration

[@sandraclark8413]

Your so smart. I could use that in my garden.

[@glitterfactory1]

Another great project. Thank you

[@Dvolland26]

Amazing. I can't wait to make this. I know this is going to be a HUGE hit. Thank you for sharing and everything you do. I always get so inspired by your videos.

[@garypalamara4520]

Awesome Matthew thankyou love this design... I wonder a fair while back i ask you if u could make a windmill .. Your a legend thankyou... Love the planter idea too...

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Glad you like it!

[@ashtonnelson2245]

Great project

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks!

[@davidlaing7684]

You could shorten the length of the boxes to be about flush with the top part of the box to the legs. Then run slats up the sides as a trellis for a comb box and trellis. As other commenter suggested a bird hose for the top. A three way now.

[@davidlaing7684]

Additional maybe two smaller boxes at the bottom outside for the trellis plants.

[@chriscapaccio3463]

As always Matt awesome project. What do you think these could sell for? I would not where to price this at.

[@chrisryalls510]

Wonderful project!! Thanks for the tutorial

[@markduggan3451]

That is amazing, I don't know if I want my wife to see it. Otherwise, I may have to make one. Lol.😅

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Would be a great surprise!

[@ardlehatley8253]

good job

[@joeyleerobbins]

Ok don’t trash me cause I think this is an awesome project!! But for some reason to me it looked like the blades on the windmill looked a little too aggressive at that 45 degree angle. I will make an attempt to build this with a blade angle of some where between 25 -35 degrees because I got curious and looked up the optimal blade angle for windmills and that is what it showed. Awesome video thank you again sir!

[@TheCripticWolf]

Love it!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks!!

[@stephenebertrand5727]

great idea, however I will probably add a screen to the bottom of the windmill house to keep the wasps out. i have given up on the 2$ pickets and moved to the 3/4 inch pickets. costs more but are better quality. Here in Florida where I am the 2$ picket s are left outside in the rain

[@ianjulie246]

Really like this idea. Thank you for giving us all the cuts and dimensions. I'm curious if you did any sanding at all. Typically my fence pickets have a fuzzy side and a smoother side. Did you sand the boards before you started the cuts? P.S. For anyone who is on the fence, I'm in the Woodworking Kickstarter course and find that it's well worth the money. Intro to all the tools, lots of short videos about tips and techniques, and plans with full videos that start from scratch and get progressively more advanced.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

If I run into this problem, then yes I will sand beforehand. Also, glad to have you in the course! As always, let me know if you run into any questions

[@dkheaton]

I just purchased this plan. You always amaze me with your cool ideas. This plan looks like it would sell well. By the way, what would you sell this for? I know it differs for every location but I am just curious.

[@trkeiser1]

I saw you glued the dowel rod... What if we want to make it turn? What would we use then, so it's not glued in place?

[@kevinfleck6402]

Great video and project. What did you use to finish it?

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Just some outdoor poly

[@kevinfleck6402]

Thank you

[@chrispendegraft5191]

Could you add a little motor to the blades?

[@Damon_Barber]

So cool!! Any idea what these might go for? I know that’s a tough question because it varies by area, but I’m wondering if there is anything on the market similar that could be used as a guide. Like planter boxes + windmill = X

[@Damon_Barber]

I’m also wondering if you could cut a hole in the back and have it also serve as a small bird house.

[@carolpowley4339]

Awesome! Will you have plans for this?

[@kimhavey7850]

Love the windmill!! I think I'll make the blades with a 30° miter.😊😊

[@harldave9850]

Matthew, does your fence pickets there have a 'ever so slight curve' to your fence pickets like they are here in NB Canada??

[@dancody3025]

Just curious. What do you think it should sell for?

[@joycehwys]

How do you ship something like this ?

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

It may be easiest to ship in parts

[@johndemoss3440]

My Next build

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Nice!

[@Borescoped]

If some stores are starting to short change customers by making their fence pickets thinner… it will throw off all the plans in your shop. Have you considered adjusting the plans you sell to account for that? Like add a second set of measurements just in case someone gets a thinner board?

[@Rickercreations]

So I'm not the only one that noticed the size change on pickets..... Good to know I'm not Crazy

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Less material means more profits for them haha

[@LeonBuildersLLC]

Dam these are nice . How much you think these will sell for ?

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Depends on the market and your area. They would definitely be worth the time

[@uknowimright6269]

Oh man...my wife walked by, peaked over shoulder about the time of your reveal.... I start on 4 of these when i get the plans...so SOMEONE will know how far along i am EVERY TIME SHE walks in shop

[@Pirate19501]

Got any discount codes for the plans?

[@michaelgasperik4319]

Hey Matt, any thoughts on pricing? Does $180 sound like the right ballpark? Awesome idea!

[@carlaking1735]

How much would u sell these for?

[@ChrisStCyr-gnt7]

Another great project, thanks. At -20 this am, it is also a nice reminder spring is coming! A suggestion for the house part…use the small heads finish screws. I find in small pieces, they are less likely to spit the wood. I always seem to remember that right AFTER I spilt a piece! 😂

[@snappertrx]

Where in the world are you getting 1" screws. I've been to Home Depot, Lowes AND Walmart and the shortest I can find is 1 1/4". 🤔

[@MrDmorgan52]

Lowes is only place I can find them

[@dookyshoes2684]

Love your stuff. Just so you know, you're having a sound problem.

[@KeeKrafts]

love the design! but why can't i skip ads? forced to watch long ad videos interrupting your instruction vid will quickly lose me.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

After a few seconds the skip button should pop up.

[@KeeKrafts]

it wasn't for me. it made me sit thru their whole spiel. maybe just a glitch!

[@krevor4095]

I can NOT let my wife know about this.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

😂You guys are hilarious
