I picked up an old but barely used corded leaf blower on Gumtree for £20. It’s a big unit, and I’m planning to strip the plastics down to just the blower. I came across the Novorik leaf blower (https://novorikx.com/products/450-cfm-gas-powered-leaf-blower) while looking at ideas, which got me thinking about different DIY uses.
Right now, I’m considering turning it into a homemade furnace blower for smelting metals, or maybe using it as an extractor fan when working with things like acetone or other chemicals. If you’ve got creative suggestions for repurposing it, I’d love to hear them. I’ve got a range of hobbies—from making things to selling plants—so feel free to throw out your best ideas!
