Antique 1960 Broken Table Fan - Restoration - WorkshopDC

Hello guys, how are you doing?

In this video i show you how to restore a Antique 1960 Broken Table Fan, this was the biggest restoration that i every made, and a really hard one.
To this restoration i need a help of my wrenchs, screwdrivers, hammer, drill, wood lathe, vise, plier, bench grinder, wire brushes, and of course Mr. Fox.
Now i start to disassemble all the Fan, some parts are really hard to take off, but everything goes well.
You can notice that some engine was broken and unfortunately i couldn't find a new one to replace.
Time to clean all the dirt parts, first i begin melting the old grease, the smoke smells like truck smoke and i like it 😂😂😂
After that i wash all parts with a strong degreaser, there was a lot of dirt on all the parts, and brush them to a better clean.
The degreaser was able to remove all the old paint, this paint was not the original one.
With all parts cleaned i begin to debend the case and the grid.
I washed the motor and rotor with penetrating oil, it was very good to clean this stuffs.
After that i start to restore the shovels, i filed some areas and smoothed the surface with sponge steel.
The broken base needs to be restored, so i leveled and make the new part on lathe, it turned out perfect.
To the rusted grid i used hydrochloric acid to remove the rust and glued the some spots with super glue off camera.
I also wire brush some parts to make it even more clean.
The case was with a lot of imperfections so i fill all with filler.
Mr. For remember that is aways need to use protection mask.
I polished the shovels to a nice finish but not a mirror one.
I glued the crack with super glue.
Time to paint the pieces, 2 coats of primer and 3 coats of Sea green.
Some parts i used 2 coats of clear coat to protection.
And for the grid 2 coats of primer and 2 coats of silver.
Now all ready to Assemble.
The assemble took me 3 hours to be perfect cause a use grease and is hard to find the rigth way to assemble all.
I also put a rubber base, the original had one like that.
I make a test on the motor while i assemble to make sure that it was working rigth.
And done, restored!
I make a final test and wow, it was very strong.
