Well I didn’t think nothing of any of it until she remounted it then I thought the same thing. I thought she was gonna use it for something else since it was old. But then she. Well anyway. I thought same thing when she hung it back up. That fan probably has some major shaking. And overheating 🤦♂️
Okay folks, talk to an electrician before you do the first one, because, adding jute to arms could throw the blades off balance, and covering the vent holes could cause over heating. Idk, I'd check with someone first.😊
The fan is old. Adding any additional weight will definitely put more stress on to the motor. Plus, the motor now has been painted (through the vent holes) and has been choked by closing vent housing. I don’t know about causing fires, but that old fan was able to run as long as it did because there was proper ventilation. Just go and buy a new fan.
Re: balance Don't ignore the little stickers on the blades, they are there to tell you the order to attach them so the unit is balanced and doesn't wobble like crazy!
The rattan on the fan blades is just decorative so it doesn’t inhibit the function of the fan. I don’t know what she was thinking covering that part of the fan with the ribbon. Big mistake covering the ventilation with the ribbon.
The title to me suggests that she was gonna do something completely different with that old fan. 12 min wasted. And she just mounted a new hazard in her home.
Hope your fire insurance is up to date, although a claim would be denied as this video proof that you altered the product and did electrical work yourself. 🤷♀️
I painted my ceiling fan but I didn’t do all of this extra looking stuff. The fan had the bright brass metal finish. I painted the metal parts oiled bronze and left the wood look blades alone .I guess I am tooting my own horn but I think mine looks 10x better than these .
There's a reason fan blades are always glossy finished... Dust. Also, regardless of the context, I will never use red to spatter paint. Just reminds me too much of a crime scene. But the coat hook idea is cool. Great way to salvage old fan blades. And I like that wide hook - less pressure on the collar of my coats.
Does your old ceiling fan need a makeover? Do a whole bunch of steps that could've been accomplished by just painting the whole thing white. And don't forget the all important fire hazard by covering the ventilation! That ash and smoke will really pop against all that white!
@@sarahwilliams4092 if your ceiling fan gets that hot when it's running, you need a new ceiling fan. There is a whole lot of circulation with it running.
I agree with other comments. The housing is vented. Covering it is a fire hazard & is ventilated for the motor. Second, the painting of fan blades alone, let alone the wrap, will cause a seriously imbalanced fan & also a hazard. Imagine the imbalance as the fan spins & tearing away from the ceiling & coming down hard!
Housing looks and functions better without the jute. It looks like it does not allow the machine to breathe. It can cause overheating. Additionally, too much whiteness of the fan looks dull on the white ceiling. However, the idea of redesigning and recoloring or make over is good; although, it shouldn't compromise the functions of the parts.
I really love your idea it turned out wonderful I would love to do that also but I don't have a fan I don't think that I can do it with as of yet thank you for the idea though you are very clever it looks beautiful on your wall very antique looking I like that a lot
Yep vent holes help keep motir from over heating. Fan is there to help keep you cool when hot. Over heating motor can limit its life and or make a fire.
Never ever PAINT the motor housing. Paint is flammable. While this is very PRETTY, covering the ventilation for the motor will result in overheating and a fire, making this craft absolutely a fire waiting to happen.
BAD IDEA (for the first one)! Even if you don't start a house fire by restricting the ventilation of the motor, you've just turned something that is reasonably easy to wipe clean into a permanent dust magnet by using matte paint, ribbon and jute - none of which can be wiped properly.
Everyone trying about the ribbon on the side of the house while ignoring the openings in the top and bottom where she removed the material that was on the inside.
Be very careful messing with the fan motors and wiring, even once the power is off and they're completely disconnected they still have strong capacitors in them and you can legit electrocute yourself and seriously injure yourself or die. Wear rubber gloves any time you're messing with those wires.
Absolutely the wrong thing to do! The fan and parts are supplied factory balanced to the GRAM and by adding other materials in varying amounts, the fan will wobble like crazy
Can't say I cared for any of these. Any time I see wood grain painted over, I cry a little inside. The last one doesn't show you how it looks when spinning, either, you could end up with an unpleasant pattern and out $200 (including supplies) for that.
I don’t see how this makes anything more “organized” but it’s definitely more of a fire hazard. DO NOT DO THIS. If you don’t like your current fan, buy a new one and have an electrician install it. This DIY crap is ridiculous.
That’s how you burn down your house. You got spray paint inside the motor which is going to gum it up then put fabric over the ventilation holes. Don’t do this.
Sorry, but you totally ruined the office fan… it was already a beautiful shiny faux wood. Now it just looks like a bunch of spray paint got away from you 🤷♀️ The fan in your son’s room came out very nice 👍
🥴I literally thought it was a paddle like from back in the day that they would spank you with looks like you would have made a great one but they don't allow that anymore in America still the Bible lovingly says spare the rod spoil the child. May the Lord bless the reading and hearing of this verse in Christ Jesus name the others will understand what he means by it that it is for good to help to give us and give us a hope and a future and not to harm us😏🔥💕
