 Fan Folly 2024 Part 2

I am continuing to work on the Rough Fan

Five to Nine

I am still experimenting with the amount of Struts I can make. This one is Five and Nine. I really wanted to have a Seven but the Length wasn’t right.

Eleven

I have managed to get Eleven on this Bolt. Naturally when Glued the Struts would be Closer together.

Thirteen

It appears that the Maximum I can get on the Bolt is Thirteen. This would be great for a normal Fan. However I am not sure that it will work once I have tried to Glue the Struts in Place.

Five Finger Spread

Since this is a Rough Template I am going to start with the Simplest number of Struts which is Five. I have Spread them out like Fingers to where they would actually be once Glued.

Cut Around

I have Drawn around the Struts and Cut out the Material forming and Arch Shape.

Five Glued

Using PVA Glue I have stuck all Five Struts in place.

Back View

I have Highlighted the Stuts by going around with a Red Pen. This is so I can see if the Struts Move once Glued. I can also see from the Back which might come in Handy when I Fold the Fan.
