CKC gets fabricated wooden blades

[Tais]

one of the fans i got from the scrapyard, it originally had wooden blades sized 56" but all the wooden blades were broken and nowhere to be found, i decided one day to fabricate wooden blades and apply veneer for this fan using the unwanted wood pile in the workshop where i sometimes fabricate MEP blades

there were a few areas messed up, only at the top face, the bottom face is perfectly done

it turned out way better than expected and it is so light!

I'd like to see the wood get a little closer to the motor!

That motor looks like the motor I used in this fan....

I never commented on this. I'm glad you did this, it's very cool. I wish you could have stain the wood to create the finish instead. Are you going to make a video of it? How does it runs?

the wood alignment was sideways rather than top to bottom alignment as many wooden fans, therefore i had to go for some veneer, this was the best one i found, though its brown looks more reddish and darker than the fan

i didnt mount it in the usual place yet, the motor needs to be repainted due to some serious scratches plus upper canopy is missing... once i mount it, i will take more photos and upload a video

i didnt operate the fan yet, but i expect it would be a monster with those light blades!
