3/4" pvc pipe and fittings
paint,screws,jig saw,
Mounting the Fan
i took the base and connected the ceiling fan to it with some dry wall screws
Cutting Out Spinning Platform
i cut out a 3' round piece of plywood and also cut a 7" hole in the center for the fan
The Spinning Platform
set the top plywood over the fan, attach the blade hardware to the fan then mount the plywood to the bottom side of the blade holders
The Frame for the Babies
i used a 3/4" pvc 3 way fitting fitting which is basically a 90 with a kick off on one side, build a square and then four corners go down to the platform, if you mark out where they sit and screw 4 pvc caps down to the platform then slide in the frame over the top
Paint and Testing
you can paint if you choose, i did a memorizing spiral that looks awesome when spinning,
wire in a cord to the motor and add whatever you want to spin
