Vintage Vornado Restoration - This one's cherry!

I discovered this fantastic restored Vornado today - pic courtesy of Mike Shawley and the Antique Fan Collector's Association forum. Thank you, Mike, for sharing this beautiful restoration - and nice choice of color by the way!

I wish I knew how to achieve a finish like that.

So do my kitchen cabinets :(

Transform A Vintage Vornado Into A Lamp

I recently discovered another inspiring Vintage Vornado modification - this time via Flickr. This classic Vornado has been given a new life and a new purpose- and is a shining example of creative aftermarket Vornado modifications.

Ugh. I promised myself I wouldn't write that pun.

Regardless- check out the step-by-step process at CCCSTL's full project photo set. Thanks to CCCSTL for uploading this pic to our Flickr Vornado Fan Club. If you have a project- by all means - do tell!

Vornado's Own "West Coast Choppers" Shop

Ran across this pic of a tricked out Vornado fan today via Hudson Custom Machining
These guys turn electric fans into eclectic fans like nobody's business.

In their own words... "This is a 1952 Vornado fan that I restored in March of 2005. I used a metalflake Amethyst base coat / clear coat automotive paint. $150 a pint including all of the hardener, accelerator, and other stuff that you have to mix together to make this thing scream "Look at Me! I am hot!"



From Vornado to Darryl and crew... nice work! Keep us posted on future Vornado overhauls!
