Dustin Meyer Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 A friend who is an antique collector and dealer came to me recently for a project. He had an old ashtray statue that was badly broken up, and a little worn out Polaris fan that barely ran. He wanted to replace the ashtray with the fan. I used a fair amount of JB Weld and bondo to repair the statue. Motor needed new wiring and brushes. Put a rotary switch in the statue base and set the whole thing on a marble base. I tried to make it look like something that might have been produced back in the day. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
