Windmill

[Micah Holmes]

Making a windmill for the first time. I need to get my windmill crank to turn 90 degrees. I have two angled gears in place. When I attach another wooden axel, it does not turn 90 degrees. It stays vertical

Remove the lower gear and place the axle in its place. Generally you only need to place one gear to change directions. The mechanical part you want to connect to creates a connector gear on its own.

Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhh...  them axles need to be stuck to a block or another axle.  Took me quite the while to learn that, too.
