Bejon A. Boranian Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Yep, branching out to making my own ceiling fans. -with- Light kit adaptability... Using inexpensive supplies, take note on this fan's "Before" PICS.. ...just wait 'till you see "After" ...Coming soon. 👍☺ Using recycled goods, I made a glass lamp cover, just needs finishing. PICS in its current "Before" phase: P.S. don't mind kitty, he's just in the zone (on my chair). ...Oddly enough, he's looking at the ceiling...like maybe it could use a fan. 🤔😎🐱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejon A. Boranian Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 My other CF in the making... Much smaller! Going "Ornate" Style on this one... 🤔. Maybe an exposed flywheel? Oh, and I stained the real wood blades myself using Coffee & a microwave... Came out nice (eh, to me) & the heat treatment made the wood stain better. Then I oiled it some for a natural looking shine using some lemon furniture oil. PICS-! (...the fan is cool, my foot not so much 😵 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejon A. Boranian Posted June 23, 2022 Author Share Posted June 23, 2022 ...small update: My first attempt at a "Hugger" type ceiling fan. ...Doesn't look like much, (yet..) ..A light-kit for it is in the works, it probably will not be reversible. 🤔 (Dependent on motor type.)

Bejon A. Boranian Posted June 25, 2022 Author Share Posted June 25, 2022 ..My larger ceiling fans in the making... Primary material: cans, tuna cans etc... Drive type: pulley or friction drive (indirect drive). Considering use of salvage/junk VCR component: -improved spin down time -Factory balanced -Costs nothing -Proportional equidistant screw terminals for mounting blades -Pre-built bearing assembly, quiet operation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
