Making a New Hub for an Obsolete Fan

[@bcbloc02]

Your barn heater is 70 years old? Impressed it has lasted this long!

Copper coil, aluminum fin. Out of service probably 40 yrs, i used it as a teenager as an aftercooler for a while, followed by 20 more years of storage before turning it into the heater.

When turning the metric threads, you leave the half nuts engaged, back the cutter off and reverse the carriage. Then feed your cutter back in and repeat.

Yes, heard that from Doozer. Will try that on fan hub #2.
