Flint & Walling 12
Re: Flint & Walling 12
That's really an awesome story! What a great project.
Call Dan Benjamin for parts. P M me for the phone number.
Re: Flint & Walling 12
Finished painting the sails this evening. I could just barely make out the old paint to make a template. A 16" 1940s metal port a wall made the circle. Just have to find or build the missing vane pieces and I'm away.

Re: Flint & Walling 12
Mike did you get my PM if not I'm trying to locate my parts I've only found my wheel and a few parts.
Re: Flint & Walling 12
Mike - That looks really nice!! I may need a copy of your template ... I had no red left.
I looked around a bit over the weekend and it looks like my tailbone, rods & spring are all out in the snow. So, a couple more weeks yet.

I couldn't find a PM from you Dan. I sent you one I have real trouble sometimes sending one.
Re: Flint & Walling 12
Mister Ed. The template was easy. There were traces of the original paint left so I just measured the original. 2" each side, 4 3/8 in the middle. A piece of heavy card stock was used. I just looked around for a circle that hit the 3 points. In my case it was a old metal wheel disk, cut it out, clamped it on, traced it onto the blade with a pencil and brushed it on. It's not perfect but it's gonna be 25 feet in the air. Actually I spent way more time on it than the original guy did 100 yrs ago. I think we sometimes get a little carried away with our restorations.

Re: Flint & Walling 12
LOL, thanks Mike ... exactly what I needed. I actually never noticed that they came up the side for the 2".
We lost a bunch of snow on Sat ... got 5 more inches on Sun/Mon morning, LOL. Supposed to be up in the high 30s low 40s on and off the next 10 days ... we should be losing enough snow so I cam measure parts for you.
