Injection molded fan

That's come out really nicely John  :bow:

In my youth (*), when money was even tighter than it is now, I took a mould impression off a plastic handled Stanley screwdriver using Vynamould and cast some home brew mix of polyester resin, chopped strands of fibreglass, and paint as a dye, into file handles, putting the tang of the file into the unset resin. The Stanley name was nice and clear in the finished product. I noticed the other day that I still have a rat tailed file equipped with one of those handles !



(* I was probably 16 at the time, and that's 52 years ago  :bugeye: )

Made a silicone mold from the original fan then cast a fan in the mold.....
Looks good, just need to machine the fan to size and balance it....
