OOPS !!    Wrong pic !!    Meant to send this one so everyone thinks I’m “A.R.” like my wife does.  (Go back a page and you’ll understand the comment)

I really like that fan! I would love to have one. Great job David I have been following the progress.

Get yourself a porter#1 toy motor, I have a left hand six wing hub I could send you or you can order a five blade one from Louis Lu, along with the base.. I can teach you how I fabricated the cage and all the other particulars. anyway, I really love how it looks too.. I am working on a wall mount model. It will be Victorian and looks similar to the one on the afca phone directories book..

My workbench today.  The new water wheel runs with a lot less water.  The original one was cast out of lead and heavy.  I will make an adapter for the water motor and a base I found awhile back.  Stick a blade on it.

Jim, don't wreck something to the point where it's an "all hands on deck" restoration! Then again... Might be fun!

I've never actually fixed anything......so it maybe all hands on deck ...if only a firefighter was on sight to put out likely fire. ..

Your workbench is meticulous with lots of space.  I am jealous.
