Engineers are building bridges with recycled wind turbine blades

  An excellent idea. It seems to me that the blades could be examined for bandsawing into assorted panels for many uses? There was mention of some lawn furniture being made but no pix. Much like we trim round bamboo into small panels to make boards, we can carve these large blades into many useful shapes for imaginative uses. An interesting process, but I intend using far larger panels made from the blades. the best one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HhfNkNUdQ&ab_channel=JULYBamboo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HhfNkNUdQ&ab_channel=JULYB... this one is a cruder process https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkzEZARjM_w&ab_channel=CanX https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkzEZARjM_w&ab_channel=CanX

      Ah, Thanks. Looks like they have the concept of sections etc well in hand.

  Things like this are why windmill blade waste is close to the bottom of my list of things I worry about. Maybe they'll even make houses out of them!
