Keefie,  like the 5 blades too.  But you might remember who rules the rooster.

Nice work either way

Great work.

I did an image seach on windmills and I don't think I saw any with five blades.  OTOH, it'd be a shame to pitch one when so much work is involved.  If you want realism, go with four, if you want to show off your skills, go with all five!

Or there's another alternative.  Use four and then make another clock.  You'd only need to make three this time.  If you don't know what to do with another clock, I can send you my address.   :D

Well - She who must be obeyed won, I finished it and it has four blades (I'll keep spare blade for next one) As a point of interest the main body of it is stained with the "stink stain" wire wool and vinegar. Now I just need to find a price to put on it at my next sale.  As always, opinions welcomed (Sorry about picture quality - as a photographer I make a good plumber lol)
