Epic Table Fan - Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 бер 2019
- This is a very nice Vintage Table Fand, made in France in 1950.
The base of this Table Fan is made from bakelite and was the first plastic made from synthetic components. It was developed by the Belgian-American chemist Leo Baekeland in Yonkers, New York, in 1907.
I started this restoration by disassemblyof all parts.
After that i cleaned them in the parts washer from Kai IBS Germany with a special cleaner Purgasol.
To remove rust from the bolts and metal parts i used rust remover from MC-51.
To remove the paint from the propeller i used paint stripper gel.
After that i start sanding the metal parts with sanding paper .
To prepare for painting i used a cleaner from IBS BLITZ.
To protect from rust i applied 2 coats of primer.
After one hour in rust remover all bolt and metal parts was free of rust. To protect them from oxidation i applied a spray from IBS name MULTIFIX.
I cleaned the rotor and stator with a tooth brush and Blitz cleaner.
To remove all dents from the badge i used a smal hammer covered in tape to be more softer and after that i applied 2 coats of clear laquer for protection.
After primer was dry i start sanding to remove dust and make more smoother, and i applyed 2 coats of black metalic paint and 2 coats o clear laquer on top.
To make the propeller shiny i used polish compound fine grit and a cloth wheel.
To polish bakelite i utilized a car polish from Meguiars and a new clooth wheel.
To make even more shiny i applied original wax from Simoniz.
After that i made new gaskets from felt and i changed the old power cord.
From here i started the rebuilding!
Thank you for watchin and let me know what do you think about this restoration and my new style of editing

15:00 now that’s the smile of a man who just restored a fan
No it is a guy
Mississippi Mudpie26 definitely a dude
Mississippi Mudpie26 a woman with a beard... lol
Scary
Awww hhh he’s so happy 😆❤️
I was about to say! 😂 The "history" of that old cable was gonna start a fire 😂
Historical fire
Repeat of the great Britain fire
People are stuoid.
@@hyperhumana Yes.
I am *_stuoid_*
I liked your comment as number one thousand, congrats lol
Nearly had a heart attack when I thought you were going to use the old wire....
Him throwing the old wire to the trash was the most satisfying part of the video.
@kbrigsby61 who?
kbrigsby61 is that a joke?
Scared the hell out of me!!!! Lol!!!!!
hii Elizabeth
*brings new cable out*
me: YES SIR
Sorry, but there, to preserve its antiquity, goes cable lined gender like that of electric irons. Best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
J JUNIN it was a joke sir
Tysy Tube Is Talking About History And Aesthetics Of The Wire. We Are Talking About Safety
You will quickly regret polishing the fan blade. When sunlight hits it, that's when you realize you made a disco ball that spins at several hundred RPM. :D
Maybe that was the plan 🤔😉😆
I'm thinking that it was a joke about your statement, but in case it isnt, you shouldnt be worried... We have fans like that in my country, it isnt a issue.
Epilepsy warning in the house
Joseph McUmber only turn it on at night. It’s a night fan. Duh.
@@mteske1 But at night there is no sun so it can't reflect du
Haha you got me :-) when you "restored" that cable with history inside i screamed out "Nooooooo, that's the worst idea ever". That joke was really great, i had to laugh out so loud when you threw the cable in the garbage. It was perfectly edited and the timing was on point. Not even the cable scene, the whole video was very good :-)
🤣🤣🤣
That scene was nice sarcasm xD
Oh my gosh I thought the exact same thing. I saw him putting the cable in and I thought, “That’s gonna look terrible” I breathed a sigh of relief when I found out it was a joke
Für uns deutschsprechende.....ich hab mir gedacht..DAS macht er jetzt nicht wirklich....Fall für die Gewerbeaufsicht? lol
he got me too, i was like "if he uses that cable it can cause some damage XD"
“Hey, you know what this fan is missing... a little bit of asbestos” “let’s put it right in the middle so everybody gets a good whiff”
But seriously... the paint coming off those fan blades was the most satisfying paint removal ever.
There is literally a town called Asbestos. They probably did it to be on trend.
@DARK APPERITION I suppose it prevents the heat from the motor being transfer to the cage
@@bc057 Asbestos makes the air smell sweeter ;)
@@scottcates it also tastes really good
I was stunned by the beautiful blue under the "Calor" symbol
I thought: Oohhhhhh, shiny!
ditto
New electric cable is not about history, but safety. Good Job.
thank you so much 😊
@@TysyTube I was so upset when I thought you were going to use that cable. Glad you didn't. It is pretty funny though.
yea id say its better to preserve the "history" of whatever building than see it go up in flames to preserve an old dry cracked cable
feck your safety
Safty is number 1 priority
#lol
Thank you for turning the calor logo the right way
alexis AJ funfact: the whole fan head was just turned 180 degrees in fe beginning :-)
guessing the fan was originally meant to be hung upside down using the mounting holes in the base.
Shut up. Logo is work
Quite honestly I was prepared to watch him strip the jacketing on that cord, polish the wire and dip it in new plastic coating.
Brian Collier that would’ve been forking amazing but unfortunately that’s not how fixing a cord works
Ha Ha Ha
That other guy from Switzerland would totally do that.
*i make a new one*
@@Choujifangirl would you rather have: A fire when you start up the new fixed fan? OR! A new plastic coating on the original wire with a new secured a d sage blug(or just a new cable and the same blug).
Great video! Just a little information for everyone:
The 3 holes in the base are for bolts, nuts and hollow rubber feet., for sitting on a table, or leave them off, and use the holes for mounting on a wall or ceiling.
This fan was originally mounted to the ceiling, or high up on a wall somewhere. They are missing, and the center medallion was "upside down" in the first of the video for it to be sitting on the table.
Thats also why the center tag is so clean on the base. It probably spent most of its life against a wall or ceiling.
The neck screw is supposed to be a wing nut so you can adjust the angle. Mine has one. Great video btw 😅
Edit: I just saw how old this video is lol
Who came to read the comments after watching him reusing the cable lol
🤣🤣🤣
Haha, I almost paused it. I was thinking "fuck the haters, use a new cable for god's sake!" I was so relieved when he got rid of it.
me! lol!! now i'm going back to the video since i saw he was kidding...
SHIT you got me :D
OMG yes. Count me in. For 240 Volts? YGTBK, right?
You had us on the first half not gonna lie
Same here
My absolute favorite part is when you test them out at the end, I was crushed when it didn’t work the first time 🤣🤣
If something is unsafe, then replacement isn't a big deal. I don't know why people watch videos if they are going to pick apart the content. Your restorations aren't destroying history. Quite the opposite. You are bringing new life to something that would normally end up in a landfill. Love your videos!
I cant believe i Just watched a fan being restored for 22 minutes..... I need to explore the world lol
D.I.Y Eddie you just noticed it but your a diy channel
It is nearing 1 am and I have work tomorrow. I should get my life together.
Watching craftsmen at work is oddly satisfying!
@15:01 such a polished fan your smiling face is shown like a mirror xD
He looks so happy, im glad
I’m glad he didn’t eat any hog Hearts during this video
Lol that is so creepy.
@@AIexGoneCrazy agreed!!!
There's something oddly comedic about that bit to me! XD
Man, things aren't made the way they used to be. That is an amazing piece of machinery and it's just a fan.
Did you know that several therapists are using these restoration videos as a treatment for anxiety patients?
It's true.
Step by step.
Really? That’s awesome! Would you care to explain how? 😊
Got a link?
As a person with anxiety, I can fully understand how. These videos are extremely relaxing when they don't have music or talking in them.
Rock Crusher cool
Good to know. I have anxiety... and I watch these videos on 2X time, lol.
I just watched a guy take apart a fan, make the parts look nice, and put it back together for 22 minutes
Nice job summarizing the video I guess?
... and you probably learned more than from watching tv or playing video games :))
bartholomeus4 true
Its more to show how old things can be restored as well as other materials to use in place of broken /worn parts. Also nice to replace the asbestos with something else.
you loved it.
The history of this wire starts now! :)
exactly 🤣😁👍
The time has come, the time is now
- New wire, 2019
On one hand there's preserving history and on the other preserving all your possessions from fire.
Dude here is giving life to history and people are complaining that he destroys history just because he doesnt use something worn out from the original piece. Keep doing what you do Tysy! We love you!
oh my god my anxiety went through the roof when you started reusing that cable. thankfully you tore it out and REPLACED it. no fires here.
My inner voice was screaming, “NOOOOOOO!”
Ironically, this video is what got him more fans
many people missed it XD, I almost did.
(drums) Putum ptss.
Cimly not really
Hilarious! (")-_-(")
@@crispytaughtme looks like he found some more to repair
I love these fans of bakelite and metal , they're very decorative and beautiful.
4:30) I love the bunny slippers, they make me laugh every time
Eliza Wilson they are butiumus right?
@@b0nes.cha0s umm...i'm not sure
And Mr bean.
S
You had me going with the cable lol. Sure preserve history where possible, but history takes a back seat when it comes to safety.
thank you so much 😊
That is a fire hazard. It's just a cable. Remember the Ship of Theseus.
I have an old 8mm projector that I run like that, as I haven't got a replacement cable. Just separated the wires and insulated them individually to not short out.
@Jamie Cook unless he’s going for a Darwin Award you’re completely right.
Tricked me with that cable, no lie. Glad you went new!
the name of the fan is funny cause 'calor' means 'hot/warm' in portuguese 😂
Same in spanish
And Spanish
Fun fact, it's from the Latin word "calor" that we also get the word "calorie"
Are you brazillian??
It's almost the same in Italian!
I am just so happy he didn’t reuse the cable. Sure many people will yell about the history, but if it wasn’t for the restoration then it would have been in a junk yard as scrap. The fact that he restores it so it is given a new life is worth watching.
15:00 the evil smile of a fine restoration
🤣
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Professional smile 👏😬
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol
Thank you for making this look factory new. Too many people on UA-cam believe restoring antique items means making them look old, with tarnished metal and so on. I think that's doing a disservice to the great men and women who originally designed and made these items, let's see them shine!
History of the fan = "it blew clean air.... With asbestos"
Asbestos is ok until it breaks down
@@chloexianah3070 well noooo
It's called a joke have you grasped the concept yet
ChloeXianah until we die
"Old world musta been fucked up"
Thank you for this video. I have two fans that had belong to my grandparents, post WWII, I will now restore.
That smile in the reflection of the fan blade. :D
You got me on that "keeping the history of wire" lol, that wire was so dangerous to use, that cable can set a house or an office in a fire and make them as history as well :D
Like for replacing it :)
thank you so much 😊
Definitely not destroying history! It’s like turning a black and white film to a color film... Artistic beauty...
You have proved again you are the king of restoration video! Well done fan. I was horrified you were going to black tape the old wire. You crown was slipping. Good joke
I watch you every day and can't get enough. Gold standard again.
As a spaniard I'd never buy a fan who's called HEAT in my language.
GoodbyeStranger1 haha! Or a “Chevy Nova” that GM attempted to sell in Mexico for awhile. 😂😂
In the 90's Mitsubishi released their "Pajero" model in Spain. The car company didn't realize that "pajero" means "a man that masturbates a lot" in Spain.
as a brazillian, i totally agree.
That's what I was thinking the whole time.
IKR!!!
I speak Portuguese, same issue here. Actually I saw signs over a building that was being constructed here in Canada with the companies name plastered all over it "FRACO" lol, dont know if I'd want such a building company
love how you restore old things giving them new lease of life. 50s-60s style got such eye pleasing look, they built to last.
Excellent job as usual! Don't mind the critics, everybody is an expert on everything on the internet. Keep following your instincts and experience, they got you here!
How I love things, which are made of bakelite! They are very sweet!
You didn't destroy any history..Great work. You always make something better, dam the haters.
Judy G. Restoration doesn’t inherently mean restored to its exact specifications when it was first made. If it goes from rusty and not working to rust free and working are you claiming it isn’t restored just because it changed colour?
@Judy G. Oh, pish, tosh. Absolute nonsense.
Sorry, but there, to preserve its antiquity, goes cable lined gender like that of electric irons. Best regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
WOW! I never knew Bakelite could polish up like that! So cool! ❤
my neither
Why not?? treated well, nearly everything can shine up well.....Preservation of shine is the only issue u have...sometimes clear coat is ok, sometimes natural degradation works good
And in this case, the high gloss shine provides a function. Dust is less likely to settle and stick to a highly polished surface than a flat or matte one. Nice going.
I really love this steel fan !!! People have thrown away these steel fans when the motor plays out !!! All they really needed to do is fix it and overhaul or buy a brand new motor !!! Thank you !!!📖📖🙏🙏😊😊🛠🛠🔧🔩⛏🪓⛏⚒⚒😍🪓🔩🔩⛓⛓
Thank you for writing ✍️ to me !!! Yes , they don’t make steel fans anymore !
Have a nice day !!!
I really love the minor details/sense of humour. Definitely watching this!
You got me with the cable thing. I got so mad, I started talking at you through the screen. "So you just restoring stuff now for looks, ok well I can't wait to see you plug that s*** in, this is the dumbest thing I've seen!" Then you threw it in the trash, and actually breathed a sigh of relief!!
🤣
Seriously though!! I legitimately came down to the comments for this exact reason and was happy to see that most people were on the same page.
Why would anyone say you want to destroy history. You are restoring historic products and doing the best you can to give them new life. People are really dumb sometimes.
thank you so much for support 😊
Exactly
I know right! That nasty cable was *way* more dangerous to users than the asbestos disk he replaced, but nobody would ever complain about that.
I agree, it's not like he is taking it apart and using the motor for something else and trashing the rest. Takes it apart, cleans it and makes it look nice and better then new to last another 50 to 100 years.
Congratulations and thank you for watching your videos, you made my day more beautiful!
Lol-the same thing happened when I restored *both* my 1920s Westinghouse and Hunter table fans. After several hours spent working on each, rewiring and all, they wouldn’t turn on! One of them even kinda kicked back some sparks at first so I unplugged it, used a few expletives, and went inside for the night. The next morning I realized I’d made an amateur electrical mistake and reverse connected the wiring to the stator. 🤦🏻♂️ Easy fix, and now I have two fans that work better on their lowest setting than any modern bought fan works on its highest. Love your videos Tysy, and your bunny slippers. 😆
Dont know if you all know this but CALOR in portuguese means actually Heat. Ironic right??😄😄😏
also in spanish
Nope its a latine Word
@@jamesv9701 portuguese is a latin language soo...😂😄
Here in Indonesia we use that term to describe heat too. We spell it as "Kalor" rather with the letter C though.
I was right about to write this in the comments! DAMNIT too slow! Hahaha ola Patricia!
Loved watching this restoration. Thanks for sharing. The end product is a thing of beauty. Had me with the preserved history cable too.
Надо было лопасть тоже покрасить! А так молодец!
Great! i really had learnt a lot from your effort in restoration. Thank you so much! 🥰🥰
I like this guy very much,he is inventive,smart and....funny. The mouseslippers,the cable,the message on the bin.😂😂😂 I watch every video,makes me relax and...learning. Keep it up bro!!!!
15:00 made me laugh, nice to see you smiling!
🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️😁
The face of a man who takes pride in his work!
Nice...good stunt with the cable....ignore the trolls who say that you ruin the pieces you restore. Looks great (and safe!)
thank you so much 😊
ok, the mouse slippers convinced me. you are now my number 1 favorite restorator! you just passed my mechanic!
15:00 The wholesome smile of a restorer.
Hahahahaha brilliant mate I really liked the funny bits you put in definitely worth while watching. Thanks for sharing
thank you so much 😊
thank you so much 😊
Didn't expect to see your comment on here...looks like the old saying is right "brids of a feather flock together" love both of you guys!!
Awesome! Its totally fascinating! My dad, god rest his soul, could fix anything. We use to call him MaCGyver. When he was 10yrs old which would have been 1936, his mothers electric ringer washer broke down. She had called a repairman to come fix it. While she was gone shopping my dad tore it down and fixed it by the time she got home. I was daddys little girl and spent hrs out in the garage watching and learning from everything he did. He always had something on the work bench he was repairing or making old into new again. He would quiz me and say...baby girl what is this part and what does it do? Lol He taught me so much except how to live without him. 😢
That cable was a REAL plot twist, great job!
Your videos are so relaxing to me, wow it’s so amazing the way you restore antiques !!
I love a fan restore . I have a fan from 1948!!!!! Works just fine after i fixed it up! The paint of them blades was 100% done later , blades on fans form that time where 99.9% of the time just polished metal.
Oh by the way , the cloth type washers should have oil on them. You cannot run an old fan dry , not like the modern crappy china bearings that last 2 months.
cool 👍
Yes I should think the upside down Logo is evidence some goof painted the blades and reinstalled it upside down.
A very awkward removal of impeller and (non-functional, show-piece) guard.
Samuel Fellows, why do you call the guard non-fuctional? I am not disagreeing with you, just curious. Are the gaps in it too big?
You're getting good at this, love the video. It's like a movie, there was suspense, confusion, laughter and a happy ending!
thank you so much 😊
Don't forget the shocking twist where he makes us think he is using the original cable and then rips it out and throws it in the bin and replaces it with a brand new one. I was glued to my seat (otherwise I would have got up to get a drink).
History begins now! I think I found my new favorite channel. 🙌🏻👍👍👍
These are now my new favorite type of videos to watch
Lol, with the cable joke I was thinking: Oh man, those haters ruined it...
🤣🤣🤣 that part was especially for hatters
I thought the same thing!
I am so glad you ditched that cable! It was literally giving me anxiety.
I was so glad to see you discard that old cord. The insulation was cracked and it was a potential lethal problem, it could have electrocuted someone or caused a fire. The new cord you used doesn't look like the typical zip cord, it looks more period correct for the fan. Great job.
I am a fan of this restoration video.
Beautiful! The end result is a testament as to just how well made these old items were. You can actually restore them, unlike the planned obsolescence of what you buy today. Neat watching the process from start to working like new end. Good job!
See how the logo on the front is upside-down and the holes around the base? That fan was designed to be mounted to the ceiling.
Superb work, as usual!
maybe 🤣
I did wonder, saw it upside down and thought I was going mad 😂
I suspect the holes in the base were for rubber feet.
The keyhole in the base was for hanging on a nail or screw in the wall. The upside down logo was from a clownish previous refurberation.
15:00 Now that is the face of a man who loves what he does. Keep at it bro!
I enjoy watching your videos, you are great at making old stuff look new. I like that there is no talking or music behind the work. Oh love the mouse slippers, made me laugh.
great job 😀. I really liked the contrast of the silver blades with the dark body and the dark protection grid. that contradictory that a fan has the mark "HEAT" 😂.
I think that the paint on the blades was added somewhere during the life of the blade. Notice how it accumulated a lot of grime - seems to me it was some incorrectly-chose "what they had at hand" paint, probably it was used in a sunny-side room and the blades caught a lot of sun reflections, so the owner just went and painted it in the color of the bakelite. The way it was so easy to peel off - looks like it was like a wall paint. What do you think? I wonder if the author could shed some light, but I never saw painted blades before that. Either plastic or bare metal.
When I was young, I'd take apart my toys and try to figure out how they worked then cry to my mom or dad because I broke it
I had a crawling toddler doll. My brother told me I can make the doll walk. I was so excited to see the doll grow up. He broke it of course !!!!
It's pleasure to see your restoration works 🤗🤗💕💕
It's stunning! Simply stunning!
Hahahahahaha 😂 for a moment I really thought that he would use that old cable and full of tape, is he crazy? Good joke bro!! 👍🏻
Here for the fluffy bunny slippers and Mr. Bean bobble head 🙌
Absolutely lovely! This can will last for another lifetime. Your skill set is very valuable.
Amazing I love the Bakelite restoration. But the whole thing looks great.
Love your restoration vids man! About the cable though, i think safety is way more important than history, good call on changing it. Now it looks brand spanking NEW! Awesome vid man, awesome!
He always makes things BETTER than they were made ORIGINALLY!
I had a mini heart attack when I saw the thumbnail because I thought he decided to paint the fan blades with polka dots!
Bravo Bravo
I hope it runs !
Thank you 😊 for sharing
Perfection with the mouse slipper!
At first i thought you were kidding about the cable part but then i got worried when you started installing it😲😄 thanks for not letting that fan become a fire hazard😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣thank you so much for watching until the end
I watched this on my tv then had to find it on my cell to comment. It kills me when people say you’re destroying history....... Shut the hell up. It’s his property and he can do whatever the hell he wants to with it. If you want to “save history” how about you buy the stuff and “save history”. Get a life. Now that that’s said. I think you’re doing the right thing and making sure “the history” is here for many generations to see. You do a great job.
That smile at 15:01 definitely lets you know someone loves what they do
Nice restoration. And you have my full support on replacing the cord!
For that old cable, I think you should actually keep the plug head, it has the same brand on the side. If you could just connect the old plug with a new cable, that will be perfect!
True, that would've been perfect!
if the plug head was vac-formed though, not really reusable. :(
Old Nick cut the shell open then glue them back together...
@@snowberryca,
Yup, that could work. That plug, with the logo, I probably wouldn't have pitched. Bet a lot more products from this manufacturer had that plug than just this fan.
You got me with the cable trick. I laughed out loud, and then subscribed. I love your work.
I saw that big smile in the fan blades lol. Good job
I like it, the hand motion reminded me of Thing from the Adams Family. Also the bunny slipper was classic.
Oh My Goodness. . while I was watching you put all the disassembled parts in the IBS machine. I got tickled when I saw Mr. Bean and the mouse slipper. Thanks for the laughs..I am enjoying all your restoration you've posted here on UA-cam!!!
Gosto do seu trabalho!
Muito bom!
Você tem o espírito de renovação!
Parabéns pelo seu dom!!!
Gorgeous little fan.
