If you need a good shop fan, check out the NewAir WindPro18 18" Wall Fan and get 15% OFF with promo code STEVE. This fan has 3 speeds and puts out a lot of air for a nice cool breeze in the shop. It can be mounted on a wall or ceiling to save floor space and it is quiet enough to have a regular conversation. It easily made my Wind Spinner spin from about 15 feet away. It comes with some mounting hardware and a pull chain extension, but I had to make my own Van Halen striped pull chain.
The weather is finally warming up here in Georgia, so I put the Wind Spinner outside under our front porch. It is fun to watch it twirl and the neighbors love it too! Now go make one yourself and impress the neighborhood, but don't be surprised if you are asked to make some more!
