PaulKrzysz Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 As the title states, show me you hand crank blowers. I would mostly like to see the stand you have made for them since I am going to have to make a stand for myself soon. Please take careful pics of the stands as well. I have to show a Model 99 CanadianBlower and Forge Co blower, and a Buffalo 98 blower I fixed up and repainted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Not sure about the Buffalo, but the Canadian I believe has a cast iron "arm" attached to the side flange of the hearth. It is not a stand. It has two opposing lengthwise "clams" at the blower holding end. The circular portion at the bottom of the blower slides into the clam holder and gets squeezed with a bolt.

PaulKrzysz Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 I am just looking to mount the Canadian Blower, I no longer have the other one. I found this picture, is this what you where referring to as the mounting bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grymm Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Mine isn't nearly as pretty as yours. I made mine out of a floor drying fan with a motor that didn't work. So I threw on my own "hand crank" :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I threw on my own "hand crank" :) I just commented on your fan in the show me your shop thread. I think thats a great idea. I have passed on some old squirrel cage fans I surely would have gotten if I had seen this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grymm Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks Eddie! Yeah I lucked out with that find, but I'm sure you can find a busted one or something similar. My initial plan was to weld fan blades onto a bicycle rim and fabricate a shell for it, but then the floor drying fan came along and I went with that!

Michael Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Found this old blower in the back of a garage sale. Stand was made of a rond plate, a pipe and what looked like a U strap with holes in it strategic bolts thru the holes and what looked like fire hose scraps or riggers webbing filling in the gaps between the blower body and the U strap. Donated to a CBA auction event after I'd found THIS one along with the vise and a forge table. Tiger blower, nice in that it doesn't leak oil (or ATF in this case). The legs pivot in their housings so they can be turned a bit so the blower fits closer to the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
