The fan is so heavy that it has to have a rolling base. I decided on a grocery cart. These ubiquitous beasts lurk in creeks and bushes throughout the neighborhood, and I'm kind enough to take them in and give them a new home.
Here's the beginning of the major surgery.
Balancing act
The fan is loosely balanced on the base. I'll need to make something to hold it in place. I'm thrilled with the ease of rolling it around.
But there's one little problem. Read on.
The shortest distance between two points is a curve
It's hard to find a good orphan grocery cart these days. This one wants to go in counterclockwise circles. Looks like it was dropped from 50 feet, or lost a battle with a car.
I'm not sure what I'll do to fix it, but right now, it does not meet my minimum expectations.
