Reconstruction of the Wilton Windmill 7-08-2004 | |||||
1. | ![]() | Draw a circle. Draw and extend the horizontal and vertical centerlines. | |||
2. | ![]() | Create the inscribed regular six-pointed star of circle 1, by constructing two inscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down. | |||
3. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of the hexagon (regular 6-sided polygon) enclosed by triangles 2. | |||
4. | ![]() | Create the circumscribed regular six-pointed star of circle 1, by constructing two circumscribed equilateral triangles, one pointing up, one pointing down. | |||
5. | ![]() | Construct the circumscribed circle of star (triangles) 4. | |||
6. | ![]() | Extend all sides of triangles 2 in both directions up to circle 5, as shown. | |||
7. | ![]() | Draw the connecting line between the two intersections of circle 5 and lines 6, immediately to the right of the vertical centerline, as shown. | |||
8. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered on the horizontal centerline, tangent to line 7, and tangent to circle 1 at the righthand side. | |||
9. | ![]() | Copy circle 8 to the center of circle 1. | |||
10. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered on the vertical centerline, tangent to circles 1 and 3, both at the lower side. | |||
11. | ![]() | Copy circle 10 twelve times, to all intersections of circle 5 and lines 6. | |||
12. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered on the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 3 on the right, and tangent to circle 8 on the left. | |||
13. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 to the center of circle 1. | |||
14. | ![]() | Copy circle 12 three times, centered on the horizontal centerline, tangent to each other, and the righthand one tangent to circle 13 on the left, as shown. | |||
15. | ![]() | Construct a circle concentric to circle 13, tangent to the rightmost circle 14 at the lefthand side. | |||
16. | ![]() | Construct two circles concentric to circle 13, tangent to the other two circles 14 at the lefthand side. | |||
17. | ![]() | Construct a circle centered at the righthand intersection of circle 13 and the horizontal centerline, tangent to circle 13 at the lefthand side. | |||
18. | ![]() | Construct three circles concentric to circle 17, tangent to circles 14 at the lefthand sides, as shown. | |||
19. | ![]() | Circles, triangles and lines 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18 make up the necessary parts for the final reconstruction. | |||
20. | ![]() | Leave out all parts not visible in the formation itself. High resolution dwf-file | |||
21. | ![]() | Colour all areas corresponding to standing... High resolution dwf-file | |||
22. | ![]() | ...or to flattened crop. This will conclude the reconstruction of the Wilton Windmill formation of 7-08-2004. High resolution dwf-file | |||
