WaterWheel - A tutorial in 3 days

[marakoeschtra]

Hello !

I made some instructions for a large water wheel,
that I already put to use on my bakery in a slightly different appearance.

The tutorial is divided in three parts (today's the first, and
the next two days I'll upload the other two) and is hosted by my sigfig, Marakoeschtra.

Nice, easy to read instructions. Even though I'll probably never use them, it's nice to know they're here if I ever do.

Kinda Off-topic: I love your bakery. Is there a topic somewhere here on C-C, where I can comment more on it? (I'm not usually a thread-bumper, but for this I would make an exception.) If there isn't one, for it or your other stuff, perhaps you could start making some (threads, that is).

WOW, really cool, I like the instructor, he adds interest! Can't wait til tommorow!

Super instructions! The insertion of your fig is neat, but the actual wheel it crazy cool. All that technic work in neat, and I am sure makes the whole wheel very sturdy.

Thanks for posting, I'll watch for the next installments.

Yeaqh, this is something I wouldn't glance at otherwise, but your fig doing the instructions is great! Much better than all that Lcad and digital work. I'm eagerly awaiting tomorrow's installement.

I love how your sig fig gives the tutorial, and I cant wait to see the end result.

Shaping up very nicely. I like the chairs instead of the pieces you used in the original MOC.

This is quite genious if I do say so myself I think ill try it out the only problem is I dont have enough brown pieces[thats the rare color in my lego box].lol

Tomorrow I'll add a full parts list for the wheel.

I really like the end result. Thanks so much for posting this great design. It's pretty crazy how it all fits together like that.

Thanks again!

The design is fantastic and very inspired. My question is, couldn't the same result be achieved with a simpler structure?

[smcginnis]

It's very nice, I like the way it looks finished.

That is a very nice open waterwheel design. Using the chairs is very clever. I also like enclosed bucket wheels:



Thank you for sharing the instructions also.

I'm not sure. I just started building and this is what I ended up with.

I'm glad you all like this water wheel !

And here's the partslist I promised:
