You will probable need to make some adjustments for your machine. I didn't include the file for Tailmaker's fan. Just follow the link I posted above.

Re: Spiral Duct Fan

Wonderful propeller fish. I guess all their food would be finely chopped.
Also excellent for backyard mosquito control!

Re: Wind Powered Bubble Machine

Thank you for your comments.

Wind Powered Bubble Machine

Hello kite enthusiasts, or mad scientists, I like to make machines. Since I'm a fan of Dr.Seuss, I like to make sure the machines are designed with fun in mind.

Re: Spiral Duct Fan

"You are welcome...but now you have to tell us more about the wind powered bubble machine!"

I definitely will. But I will start a different thread for it. Coming soon...
It's in testing now. Lots of testing. Children are volunteering to help test this device.

Re: Spiral Duct Fan

I would like to thank all of you for your great contributions to this topic. And a big whompin' thank you to Tailmaker. I've been trying to think of a better fan blade for my kite-mounted wind powered bubble machine. The old design would sometimes get tangled in the kite line. This one is going to w...

Re: How to attach/mount your products?

I like the reply that Allan (ZipperHead55) posted above: "I use these a lot: keyhole slot plugs " After thinking about these plugs for a while, I decided to try making them out of Maple. I like the results. It's easy to make a batch of these keyhole plugs ahead of time. They are installed by drillin...

Re: Cutting a Letter in Half

Idea 2:
Clamp two pieces of wood together...that becomes the center line. (No glue.)
Clamp this assembly to the table.
Be sure to have the joint centered under the center of the letter.
Engrave the letter.
Remove the assembly from the table.
Done.
