Restoring Old Rusty Table Fan with Laser Cleaning
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 02. 2021
- In this episode I will restore this rusty vintage fan. The fan has lots of rust and all of the wiring needs to be replaced. This project was lot of work because there were so many phases in the work.
After disassembly I started by removing the rust and paint with Laser Cleaner. The device wan loaned to me by W2M (w2m.fi/?lang=en). Here is their demo video ( • 120 w laserpuhdistimen... . For the safety guard I used electrolysis for which I've made this tutorial: • How to Remove Rust wit...
For the painted parts I used filler and filler base coat. The color is blue metallic car paint, and it was coated with 2K clear coat to protect the surface.
To remake the damaged badge prints I used heat transfer. Should I make a detailed tutorial of the process for my second channel? I printed the wanted image on a transfer paper which is linked in the tools section. It normally requires a heat press, but since I don't have one I only used normal oven and used clamps to generate the needed pressure. I also used silicone pad to make the pressure more even in case my sheets of plywood were not even enough.
I also replaced all the wiring vintage style braided wire was used for the part that had similar wire and the rest of the wire was just plain plastic wire like it originally was.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed making it. Thanks for watching!

ahhahahaha good one
Lol

😂
It took me way too long to get the joke 🤣
*Opens rotor box, sees organic lifeform inside*
Odd: "Everything is fine."
That's really annoyed me, Can't believe he left it in that condition.
yeah, fixing this would have made the fan quieter and way less vibration.
@@ajdrig agree
nofreenamestoreg I was thinking exactly the same thing
Now let's check the gear box. Checked.
My favorite part of this channel is how the loud things are quiet and the quiet things are loud. It's so relaxing to feel like I can *hear* the details, without losing my hearing on the genuinely loud stuff.
Agreed. I don't care for ASMR or anything like that, but this... this is art.
@@WTF15TH15😊😊😊
ذؤمم
As someone advocating for Right to Repair, this stuff peaks my interest. I think it's so cool that you can make something so old useful again, rather than throwing it out.
I'll always fix something first if I can, and these types of videos have really broadened my horizons regarding what I would consider "fixable". Love it.
Piques, not peaks
It was interesting, but all my fans stop working because of the motor, and he didn't do anything to the motor, so my guess is the fan worked before he started restoring it. It was rusty and not up to modern code, but it still worked.
@@ireallyreallyhategoogle wires maybe
These things usually work even in garbage shape
That fan bending is like my back in the morning after I wake up
Haha
hi
@@OddTinkering seen you wear gloves reminds me how important it is when working on stuff like that. You don't think a small cut would be bad but...
Is he not going to clean or convert the leftover rust?.
Check up your bed. You could improve a lot sleeping in a rigid straight surface.
The people who made thin fan the 50s would be proud to see this.
There probably dead ngl lol
@@CaptainFordoArc77 There's gotta be a couple that are still alive.
@@HisVirusness yep
They are most likely in their 80s or 90s. Not sure they would be on CZcams lol
@@daneshat7795 No, but their great great grandkids probably have CZcams, so they can show them this video. :)

Ducktor : where's my soapy bath??
Odd : you got it..
Ducktor covered with rust.. 😭
VINNY!!!!!
🖤🖤🖤
No worries, a stand-in stunt Ducktor was used.
I feel nad to ducktor 😳😳
I sense that there will be a lot of fan puns. Hope they don't blow.
Lol made my day thanks

@@damacaroniboy9720 or does he?
**vsauce theme plays**
Haha, it looks like there will be plenty
when he put those extensions on his screwdriver it reminded me of when we were little kids and we would make swords out of markers by connecting their caps to other markers
"I'm not sure this video will be my thing--" *brings out the laser*
"I want to clean stuff with a laser"
you could sell one of those for like 500 caps
Nah the screws,gears and metal is more useful 😄😄
oh another fallout fan(pun intended) i see.
@@Full-stack33 Right? I need to upgrade my shotgun. :)
The Ducktor must consider you a brother to let you use his hot tub like that. He's a kind soul.
The laser work was amazing, I didn't know something like that exists.
Yknow, after that little demo at the end, this is definitely a case where the shift to plastic was for the best XD
Maybe... maybe... had to make sure idiots wouldn't stick their fingers in a fan I guess.... no its more likely that the shift to plastic was because they found ways to make stronger plastic which wouldn't shatter as soon as you turned it on. Plastic being lighter.. means a less heavy duty motor and a less heavy item overall and less power consumption
@@KarinExMachina
And that you can put more of it on the cover so idiots and children don't stick their fingers into a fan, right?
@@DrPonk Pretty simple yeah
Nah, metal blades are still better, but now the grill is tight enough you can't put your finger anywhere near the blades.
As vezes eu boto meu dedo no ventilador nem dói
Me: You definitely don't want to put your finger anywhere near that blade.
Odd Tinkering: Here's what would happen to your finger.
Stoudman your finger is the least of your worries, don’t walk near it naked
@@wurly164 uh...no one would do that
@@wurly164
Yeah I kind of read that as this is what would happen to your "finger".
I mean it's a carrot, a bit big for a finger.
Brings back childhood memories. We didn’t have A/C in our house back in the 60’s but we surely did have these fans everywhere.
This looks like something I would immediately scrap for parts in Fallout 4
I was thinking that exact same thing 🤣
Im replaying FO4 atm, and got so happy when I saw the generic fan not getting scrappd for once
fallout 4 desk fan
Good source for screws.
@@Fuji086 don't forget steel
The laser cleaning tool is so fine that you have to look cool to use it properly, that's why they give you sunglasses
(Haters will say it's for eye protection or some bs)
Boomers: "Everything was made better and safer in the good old days!!!"
1950s death trap fan: 22:45
Better yes, safer no. No one I've ever talked too has said shit was safer. You think a fan made today will work some 70 years later?
Back in the day there was a thing called personal accountability, ya know that thing where you recognize the risk and take actions to prevent accidents.
Ie don't run the cord so someone could trip over it or don't stick your fingers in it while it's running.
Better yes, but not safer. Companies weren't making their products with the intention of them breaking apart in a few months so the consumer will have to purchase a new one, they made their products to last
When I worked ER a gentleman came in who had his fan next to his bed blowing on him while he was sleeping. It had open blades I guess and he tossed and turned... and his hand landed in the fan and ended up quite lacerated.
Nice fan... but would need to be really responsibly used.
A lot of mid century stuff is really sturdy. Seriously. Furniture from that time all weighs 4000 lbs.
Small comment. Once it has be opened and , why not cleaning the motor/stator and re-greasing parts?
Yeah i usually like his work but it just seems like he half assed some of this but then again I don't make vids on CZcams 🤷🏻♂️
@@samellowery my favorite restoration channel is my mechanics. Doesn't half-ass anything. Doesn't miss a single thing, gotta love it
I feel the stress leave when I see parts get oiled. I used to take old grease out of the gearboxes but now, if I see the grease is still translucent, I simply re-saturate it with the best synthetic electric motor oil I could find and mix it up while in the gear box.
I love when you restore gaming stuff, but this is epic as well :)
It's fun to do all sorts of projects and that keeps it challenging and interesting for me as well
@@OddTinkeringAll of you content is awesome!
I never watch the game restoration vids.
@@walmartdog1142 I'm currently glaring at you for saying that
I really like the wave-like patterns that show up on camera while using the laser cleaning. It's so cool.
Shinx pfp :0
It's videos like this that remind me why OddT has 2M subscribers.
The filming, the repair quality, the patience, the personality. Brilliant!
Awesome video👍

Here before this blows up!
U guy's should Collab
@Damian Salcedo-Cuadros
You don't need sharp blades to cut air.
I wish my screwdriver sped up like that.
Its like you went back in time and bought it brand new. Nicely job on it.
I feel like products these days aren’t as high of quality as they once were. I don’t see anyone fixing up a plastic fan anytime soon. nice job on this
That’s because fans like that cost you a arm and a leg I found the prices back then and let me just say they weren’t cheap.
Would you pay $237 for a table fan? They were $16 in 1926 and with inflation it's quite a bit of money.
@@5in1killa what I’m saying
I fixed up my plastic fan recently. But then again, I'm a cheapskate.
In Brazil we restore, because most of us don't have money to buy another one lol
Screw: is placed super difficult
OT's Screwdriver Attachments: Our time has come.
I love the sense of humor that comes through purely in the editing. It's genius, and I get to watch rust get blasted off by a laser. Who could want for anything else
As a fan collector this was amazing and highly appreciated!! You did such an incredible job and the metallic blue finish is stunning. Well done
You have a cool hobby
Fan collecting is a thing? That's pretty rad.
Let me be the millionth person to say you are a fan fan 🙃🤠
@@Meracog people collect all kinds of crap even fire alarms
I love the process you use for getting the rust off of metal and I also like the Nickel plating process you do with handheld electronics amongst other things.
16:26 when everything is bad but you pretend everything is good
I wish he had replaced the grease lol
Me, after opening it and seeing the disaster inside: "were gonna just close this and pretend we didn't see that. I'm sure it's fine. Nope. It isn't."
When I was a kid, grandparents had a similar fan. It had pretty colored ribbons tied to the inner ring of the fan guard. They blew forward when the fan was running. I have that memory.
My Grandmother had an old fan like that one when I was very young ! When she got elderly she had alzheimer's an we had someone to come an stay with her at her home one night they up an quit an left when later we found some things were missing an the fan was one of the items taken ! Glad to see you restore one like she had ! Awesome !
Wow, I almost expected to feel the breeze through the screen! That was great!!
Everyone: bored in quarantine
Odd tinkering: I sense bored has struck time to upload
Not the hero we deserved but the one we needed
Yay I got a heart thanks odd tinkering 😊😁
I thought quarantine is over
I dont understand, you put ALL THIS EFFORT into the rebuild, even thought it might have been in a flood, then you DON'T clean out and replace the old grease . That is like rebuilding a car engine, then just reusing the used oil you drained out. I like the rebuild, but it is hard to overlook that.
And he's afraid to remove the stator just because of a little welding??!! Those old wires are a fire waiting to happen. Amateurish.....
Agreed. I was shocked that it was opened, turned, closed.
I was looking for this comment. What was he thinking
I feel the same way that Wombat does. It seems silly not to clean and regrease the gearbox.
Expectations are high for Odd Tinkering.
That laser is so cool!! I just love how meticulous you are with every step. I could watch you work for hours!
It's such a beautiful thing knowing that someone has handmade this years ago and it's getting some love after.
Ducktor’s in!
Much to his chagrin.
The strength he put in to unscrew those screws lol
That lazer cleaning bit was tops. It looked magical.
Sou um fã do Brasil. Muito legal esse canal, adoro assistir essas restaurações ❤️
On Saturday morning shortly after getting up a new restoration video ?! Great, I'll take a look at that now ...
What can I say...I'm a big FAN of your videos
lolol
The fan puns
Odd tinkering you did this to your comment section
Moar Fan engagement means CZcams will promote his videos more!
I love the 1950s look and blue is my favourite colour, so I love this!
I find these videos so soothing, so thanks for making them.
I have a fan EXACTLY like this (albeit a bit smaller) that I inherited from my grandma. It has sat on top of my fridge since 2017 when I received it, so I’m excited to see a similar one being given new life! There’s life in these old items still!
It’s almost midnight but I need to watch
Same
same
in the country where i live is 4:30 am
In my country it's 8.30 AM
Same
That came out nice! It might've been a good idea to replace the grease in the gear housing while you had it all disassembled.
Looked like old ear wax...probably fulla crud.
Yes I'm glad to see someone else noticed that~!!!! Also he used what looked to be dollar store scissors to cut the sheet metal.
I can't stop watching your vids, that fan looks fantastic
I don't know what to say , dude you are the most professional person I have ever seen in my life !! Bravo 👏🏻
My grandparents had an old fan alot like this one. And I swear you can't find fans that put off air like these anymore
Or remove fingers
Unless you go with the more expensive models, perhaps.
I have an old plastic table fan and the oscillate function doesn’t work anymore but it is still more powerful and cools me down more than any other new fan that I’ve bought. Dunno why
You can find those rather easily at antique stores. The one I'm currently using is an Emerson 16" circa 1945. Works great too
Awesome video. Good job bro
restoration channels hyping each other up is so cute
This is like reviving the "spirit" of these items. SO satisfying!
You are a bad ass! Your videos are truly well done and captivating! Your sense of humor is amazing my friend! No words need to be said all your captions are freaking hilarious! Can’t wait to look at all your videos!
This looks like something I’d see in a haunted Pizzeria.
or a post apocalyptic wasteland
so THIS was what was eating up all my power
>Haunted pizzeria
Hmmm…
if you know you know
The fan... *shudders*
Odd Tinkering is restoring his fans now finally he listened to people in the comments section and that blew me away. I forgot i made this comment and it made me laugh when i found it 😂😂
What did he go back and fix the gearbox?
Is-is that a pun
Thanks for the laugh mate.
@@xlivtheman You're welcome lol
As many have said, I was surprised that you didn't replace the old grease. Also the old crackle paint is so evocative of the era. I now want a lazer cleaner, just have to sell the car!
My dad likes to say"Use the right tool for the job," then would follow up with"It is usually the closest tool." It is my favorite thing
Ducktor needs to be in one of those Dawn dish soap commercials now 😭😭
Odd tinkering AND Tysytube uploading in the same day????? I'm blessed
I have the same fan and it still works to day. I love them because they beat any of the plastic type fans that are out there today. I will tell you these things are built to last.
I love watching items being restored but this is the first laser cleaning that is amazing to see the result looks great
I've always loves seeing restorations of old and even ancient and even old antique items getting fixed up to look and work like new.
Another fan here. You've blown me away with another great restoration.
Egg
I'm only 16 years old and I like old classic stuff like this well thanks to my dad who showed me things like this
I can't get enough of your show "you bring the dead back to life" keep up the GOOD work
16:03 Is all that gunk in there the old lubricant? Shouldn't that be replaced for new lubricant?
I have little experience with fans and others, but I maybe it might be still good as long as it doesn't dry up, when the fan moves it will loosen the lube a bit more. but you may be right, I'm not sure.
you'd have to clean out the old grease which is just time consuming and unnecessary if it hasn't dried up
Yes, it should. The fan would run a lot smoother if he had done that.
You uploaded your first video in 2017 and still have a fan from the 1950's.... i will see myself out, thank you
Very satisfying. I often play your videos on background when I'm working my office work. Lol
I personally love a nice patina on old things just as long as they work and aren't a real immediate health risk. Well done regardless.
This is even more satisfying than usual with that laser.
That lazer cleaner looks like something out of a Sci Fi movie from the 50s, seems appropriate.
I had visions of Sean Connery as Bond lol
Greetings from the Napa Valley. What can I say. Your videos are unbelievable. The patiance needed is beyond anything I could muster up. Your work is superb to say the least. I'm inspired by your videos to pay more attention to details in my small engine repair shop> Thanks keep them coming>
I like watching your repair-stuff video before I going to sleep. It is fun. Hope can see more video in future. Thanks you.😀
A coworker recently started speaking with me more after recognising my 'Trust me, I'm a Ducktor' t-shirt. You're famous! 😁

Really? Left the baked-up grease in the gearbox? The easiest thing to do and he didnt bother with it... You dont need to Make A New one, just replace...
Sometimes replacing or messing with stuff can cause more problems than it’s worth. Also your assuming that he dident go back latter and replace the grease.
@@darthrevan2063 that’s what I’ve been thinking
@@darthrevan2063 Cleaning out a gear box and putting in fresh grease is never a bad thing, but ti is a lazy thing when you dont
A lot of things are iffy about this . Its almost like make th video just to get views . That laser cleaning was garbage , could have done better with a wire brush wheel , and why worry about the finish on the base but not the cowling ?? I would not trust that soldering as well , very suspect
@@MrTarmonbarry umm... the soldering was good. The laser cleaning was fine, but left pitting.. not a surprise with that much surface rust.
I wish I had even half tools, patience and ability of this guy. I love tinkering and do okay, but this guy is really good. BTW, it seems a 1000 watt laser cleaning machine is around half a million dollars, so don't count on having one in the shop.
I used to watch thesw videos in my dorm room to calm my nerves before public speaking class. Its so relaxing.
This fingers cutter is really made to last. You restored it pretty well.
was thinking the same thing
✨anxiety✨
Each one of these videos feel like that one part in Toy Story 2 when the old guy cleans Woody with his 82 compartments.
Its strangely satisfying to watch the laser clean the rust, so cool! Yes I'm easily amazed.. 🙂
Idk why but this is satisfying, I'm glad I found this channel
Finally! Something worth to watch.
At 8:12 I was like: I don't question anything anymore this man does. Everything just turns out amazing in the end
I wonder how many fingers got cut off during the 50's .
Not many. There were no Millennials or Gen Z.
He is the chosen one,who will bring balance to the world of motors
I am definitely interested in seeing the process of the heat transfer paper. I can think of lots of uses for that. Great video!
Tired and bored at work. This’ll wake me up.
If your boss asks just say you have my permission to watch 😌
My boss would probably watch it as well :P.
After you showed it working I said “that could definitely take off a finger” then your video immediately cuts to the carrot test 😂, bravo!
Wow, very pedantic work! The paint job looks great 😊 Another well done project 😉
You’re so talented! I imagine the level of patience you need to do this is incredible, great video as usual :)
Ever wondered why the 'High' setting is always next to off? It's to stop the electric motor stalling and burning it out! The more you know :)
It's a brushed motor right? What part receives strain when there is current running through and it doesn't rotate?
I also like Technology Connections
@@RedstonePyroMan czcams.com/video/hQ3GW7lVBWY/video.html
Not always my friend
@@magicmanhs7718 Nah fan motors have been designed like this for about 100 years now, it's to ensure the fan during it's heaviest load (start up) has the most power going to it to ensure it starts spinning and doesn't burn out the motor as the motor is even cooled by the fan itself. So if it fails to start from a low power position it can easily over heat and burn.
From the bottom of my heart…. Thank you for doing these videos.
Dude fixes anything. You sir are something else.
10:53 Captions: Yummy
Ducktor: WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS TO ME
This type of content is always so awesome and entrancing. You've got yourself a new fan.
