Product Description

Like a gently turning windmill or a weathered old barn, there''s just something peaceful and relaxing about a water wheel. The sight and sound of the simple wooden wheel turning under the gentle pressure of running water seems to strike a familiar chord with almost everyone. This do-it-yourself water wheel project is an easy and inexpensive way to enjoy the tranquility of water cascading over a wooden wheel right in your own backyard. A great outdoor accent for spring, the project will also attract birds and keep the local plant life happy. Made from redwood (as pictured; cedar, cypress or treated lumber also work well), the project uses a pump to keep the water circulating. Step-by-step instructions and full-size traceable patterns make it simple enough for most woodworkers-the wheel itself is constructed from a series of traceable arcs. To build, simply trace the pieces onto wood and cut everything out. Next, assemble using glue, screws and nails. Finally, apply paint or stain and sealer. The assembled project stands about four feet tall, and the wheel itself is three feet in diameter. About U-Bild plans: U-Bild plans are ideal for woodworkers and do-it-yourselfers of all skill levels. Unique ''trace, saw and assemble'' designs feature simple-to-follow patterns (like sewing patterns) that produce professional-looking results.
