So I'll start with something that was done last weekend. An organiser for my DIY stock.
My projects is still ongoing - busy painting the main gate today, while my painter is busy paining Caitlin's room the same green and grey as mine - she wanted the same colours .

Brown paper bag or news paper for a week and you should be good to go.
Finished a mag stir plate last week. I'd burnt out 3 dc motors and decided to upgrade.
So its a 24V brushless motor from a Zerox workcenter, the paper feed one with all gears removed. 20 amp ESC with BEC from my RC plane days, controlled by a diy servo tester. RPM's from 500 to 1700 at 12V DC, works well with no heating up after 2hrs stirring.

This weekend was trying to silver solder a custom 510 for a box mod, brass to SS, was a dismal failure so Ill have to wait for Monday to get some flux.
The brass disc was cut with a 18mm bi-metal hole saw, just needs tapping with 7x 0.5 which is easy enough.

Hi @blujeenz try some lemon juice as replacement for the flux. Vinegar might also help
This is cool.
I have sourced a fan and might be taking on a similar project.
for the mixer project.
180 mA is going to struggle as soon as you add the VG.
Might want to try cutting off all the fan blades for less drag.
I figured as much, that's why I didn't start yet just in case I got a bigger fan. I saw the driver board is also burnt. Would have been nice because it has variable voltage. circuit.
I will see what I can source in the week.
What do you think of a 240v fan @blujeenz
Not a typical weekend project, but having to remove ceilings and chiseling open cracks in walls to parapet height on outbuildings, reappointing and filling with new mortar, plastering and refinishing and waterproofing. Gives me time to redo the shelving and storage as well. When you can see your neighbors pool from inside, and after a 3 or 4 year fight with insurance I’m having to fix it myself, before portions of it move to his yard. And then I start on the house!

Probably not a good idea.
The reason is that fans are designed to move volumes of air and they do that with rpm's in the 2000 range.
My 35mm magnetic stir bar jumps out of the flow at 1000rpm, roughly halfway on the pot.
Not exactly a weekend project. More of a semi retirement one. I bought an old settlers cottage that hadn't been lived in for 40 years but had been an occasional holiday home for someone who is now too old to travel. It needs a lot of work. First big item.. The roof and yes I am doing all the work myself with only my wife as an assistant.
The main gate is still slightly wet so need to wait for 2nd coat of paint , the street facing wall is next . I was notified that I was needed at work tomorrow and maybe Tuesday - so painting must wait .
Looking good - can see this is not a weekend project.
