Out in Leggett, CA, having just caught my breath after an hour of slow driving on winding mountain roads, I bought a kit of a midwestern farm windmill at the souvenier stand at Drive-Through Tree Park. It took me until Saturday evening to start it. As you will see from that link, Chief Honest John was not a native American chief but a navy CPO; but that’s another honest way to come by the title. At any rate, I did get going on the model. By now the frame is standing tall. Well, about eight inches tall.
