Building a Windmill

First of all I want to apologize for my English writing skills - I am just an exchange student from Germany. This was a school project and I'd like to share it with you. If you want to rebuild this, Its the easiest to use your own measures.

Here's a video I made of my Windmill it didn't work 100% at that time, because I just had one hand but now it works properly)

A very nice project and fine job constructing your project.
I will look forward to viewing the video.
I hope you time in the U.S. has been and continues to be a positive one.
Your English is much better than many of the posts by native speakers so there is no need for any apologies.

Hey the bottom circle has a radius of 1,5 in the 2 milling wheels a r of 0,5 in. I dont know the exact measurements of the cage, but thats easy to find out :) the head wheels are 1,5 in and 2,5 in (radius) and had 8 and 16 teeth. Hope this helped you ;)

Could you please leave me the measurements that you used, it would help with my project a lot. Thanks
