Project Ideas
Business
Custom Finish & Personalization Service
Offer a premium customization service: custom colors, hand-applied patinas, powder coating, and personalized nameplates or engraved plaques (family name, GPS coordinates, business logo). Market tiered packages (basic repaint, advanced patina, bespoke art) and photo-based previews. Upsell seasonal refreshes and protective recoating to keep customer vanes looking new.
Installation, Inspection & Maintenance Package
Bundle sales with a professional installation service (roof/cupola mounting, secure flashing, proper alignment) and yearly maintenance subscriptions (bearing lubrication, paint touch-ups, winter removal/storage). Charge for site visits and offer quick-turn emergency repairs after storms. This reduces buyer friction (people often worry about roof mounting) and creates recurring revenue.
DIY Kits, Classes & Digital Tutorials
Sell DIY kits that include a smaller steel horse, mounting hardware, paints/patina chemicals, and step-by-step instructions for a home project. Host local workshops or online video classes teaching finishing, welding basics, and safe mounting. Offer a workbook and supply list, plus a kit-to-workshop upsell where attendees upgrade to a full-size vane with instructor installation.
Event Rentals & Branded Signage
Rent decorated weathervanes for weddings, photo shoots, farmers' markets, and branded events where rustic or equestrian aesthetics are desirable. Offer short-term customization (ribbons, floral wraps, removable logos) and on-site setup. Additionally, partner with B&Bs, ranches, and farm stores to create branded vanes as permanent signage or merchandise—sell matching miniature replicas as souvenirs.
Creative
Patina & Paint Customization
Refinish the varnished steel horse to create a one-of-a-kind decorative piece. Lightly sand the varnish, apply metal primers, then experiment with layered paints, faux copper/bronze patinas, or hammered finishes. Add hand-painted accents (horseshoes, floral motifs) or gold-leaf highlights along the mane and tail. Finish with UV-protective clear coats so the vane stays vibrant outdoors. This is an accessible weekend project that turns a standard weathervane into gallery-quality garden art.
Rooftop Garden Centerpiece
Make the horse vane the focal point of a small rooftop or pergola garden. Mount it on a decorative cupola or custom pedestal surrounded by planters, trailing vines, and a low-voltage solar LED ring that uplights the silhouette at night. The rotating vane adds kinetic movement, and you can incorporate reflective surfaces or a small wind-activated mobile below it for extra shimmer. Great for enhancing curb appeal and photographing for a portfolio.
Kinetic Indoor Lamp or Pendant
Convert the vane into an indoor kinetic lamp: shorten or adapt the mounting rod, attach a metal rod to a lamp base or pendant fixture, and add a glass or metal shade beneath the horse. The point-contact bearing allows subtle rotation when air moves, creating a living, moving light feature. Use an LED filament-style bulb and route wiring safely through the mounting post. This creates a rustic-modern conversation piece for entryways or bars.
Mini Tabletop Replicas & Gifts
Create scaled-down desktop versions for gifts, awards, or wedding favors. Cut a smaller horse silhouette from sheet steel or cast small copies from the original, polish or patina them, and mount on wooden blocks, slate tiles, or marble bases with a brass placard. Offer variations like house-number plaques, personalized engravings, or themed bases (barn wood for farmhouses). These are perfect for craft fairs or boutique gift lines.
