How To Make a Spool Spinner From an Old Fan.

By Chrisjob

Evil Mad Scientist offers an easy hack for using industrial-sized spools on standard home sewing machines. Using an old computer fan and a short length of copper tubing, they created a spool spinner that can adapter.

They say, "In practice, the fan bearing turns freely enough that the sewing machine can spin the spool as needed, but not so freely that it starts to turn and then unwinds the whole spool, so it works quite well."

Cool down without AC

By CharlesandHudson

fan

Summer's been mild so far in NYC but I fear the humidity is rising and I'll run my AC 24/7.  This puts a cramp in my power bill and I'm also trying to cut back on my energy consumption so I've done a bit of research for cooling down without AC.  Beyond the fan there are a few techniques that I've come across.

A different take on ceiling fan lights

By leonardwl I wanted something other than the same-old same-old for my new ceiling fan lights.  Lowe's had these multi-colored shades that created a cool retro 60's look.

Also, Where can I get a new mod one to match my house.

also, any hints on replacing ceiling lights and fans and such? just go slow? I think doing everything over my head seems challenging( to say the least!)
