When you happen to see scrap lumber or wood pallets and examine them for knots and blade material suitability.
Or visiting the junkyard: Oh look at those big carbon brush holders, hmmm. What's the name plate rating on that big electric motor in that pile? What's the ratio of that gearbox, it sure has a big output shaft. Should I buy it or hide it away in case I ever make that 30 ft. dia. wind mill? Look at that tub of stainless steel sheet and tube, it must have cost a fortune new. Is any of it right for the wood gasifier that I want to build?
