Just recently I built a wind harvester in a friends house infront of their structure crafting station but could not experiment. I tried a second time with the station targeted but still no experimentation. After a third failed attempt I stopped as I was using my good steel on unexperimented harvesters.
Any ideas why?

Wind harvesters are artisan items and thus use the weapon/droid/*GENERAL* item crafting station. Only architects use the structure crafting station.
Also, make sure you have access rights to the station, as it won't let you use it if you don't have permission.

What sort of crafting tool were you using? I haven't made these in a while but I believe it is a structure tool + a structure crafting station...If that doesn't work,it would be a weapon/droid tool in front of a weapon/droid crafting station.

Oh yeah, and remember, the crafting station closest to you governs (including stations within droids), so if there is another station in that house, it may be interfering with your ability to experiment. Make sure, of the stations in the house, you're closest to the one you want to use. Step inside the station if necessary.

Thanks for the response.
I was using the wrong tool, droid and general infront of a structure terminal. I know the terminal works as I have used it before.
Must be feeling tired.

The W/D/G item crafting tool isn't supposed to have wind generators, the "specialized crafting tool" for all harvesters (even artisan ones) is the structural. There was a bug introduced a couple months ago where the W/D/G tool can be used to create anything in your draft schematics list. If you can't make the item in an equipment factory, expect the item to get removed from the W/D/G tool eventually.
And you don't need access rights unless you're using resources out of it's hopper. You'll get a "You do not have rights to access the hopper" message when in front of a station in a building you're not an admin of, but you can still use the station to experiment with.
