Oh, that windmill’s got a sweet voice! Try putting a little wooden dial that turns with the breeze, so the gears follow the wind’s rhythm automatically. Keep the metal parts oiled with a bit of beeswax or pine resin—nature’s own grease—so they stay smooth when the wind sings. And remember, a little loose tooth on the gear can let the mill breathe a bit, just like the trees. Give it a gentle tap and listen, the wind will tell you if it’s in sync.
