Do I have a problem?

[Diomedes Industries]

I have a ceiling fan in my bedroom where each blade has a metal edge. As I woke up I was looking at the blade and what I did not think was how I could sharpen those blades...




I wondered what edge would be better for airflow - scandi or convex...






Sheesh...

ummmm...... yeah, there may be a problem ........

Cuckoo!!!!! Cuckoo!!!!

yea, what a freak (as i take fan blade out to the belt gtinder to put a nice scandi on it)

I don't know man - if you put it on the wheel - you might get a good hollow grind and....

yea, i should probably take it to the 1x30 sander....

Convex would work best, that would be most like an airfoil shape.

I would like to see a ceiling man made from large, smooth convexed (no sharp) forged Nessmuk blanks......

Some how I feel better about myself now.

Either a scandi or a convex grind would work.

But as a W&SS regular, you should opt for redundancy and make sure that, regardless of your edge choice, your ceiling fan doubles as a small game trap.

All the best,

Convex it and you have a new celery and carrot cutter.

OK, now you gave me a lot more to think about.....Houston, we have a problem.....

...could make reaching up in the dark to pull the chain for the light a little more.... challenging ?

I would say a convex. Much like how an airplane shape uses its aerodynamics.

What was the show where they used a ceiling fan to slice sausage rapidly? I need to find that again..

wow bushman..... just wow.

you have put some thought into this huh?

 

[Bushman5]

yea, i'm just as nuts as the OP

 

[Sharp_newbie]

Just never ever jump on the bed again!!!!

 

[mtnfolk mike]

i would say convex... it would chop the fly and skeeters...

 

[myright]

Convex for sure

I think a bunch of hawkbills or tom brown trackers would look cool

There are two types of posters on this thread:

a) Those that lie and act like I am the only one that have a problem.

b) Those that simply ignore the whole 'problem' part and start thinking about edge geometry.

Either way - you are BOTH as sick as me!

Or - that is what I like to think to make myself feel better.
