My new CF 2022

[Bejon A. Boranian]

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. 🤔😎🐱

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 😵 )

...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.)

VERY INTERESTING AND A LOT OF CRAFTING GOING ON THERE !

..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

...AFTER: Beautiful floral light shade-!

Looks like glass, but it's not.  Should be able to take a hit, unlike glass.
