Hands down, making spin art is one of my favorite ways to relax. Toss in a bottle of Pino Noir and you won't see me for hours! I think it's something about the spinning that hypnotizes me into a great mood. A while ago I found an old mini Honeywell fan on the street and hauled it home.

Turns out an old Styrofoam plate did the trick and I was making spin art like…

We removed the blade and had a local machine shop fabricate an adapter for the shaft with a 24" plate to hold the foamcore "easel" on which I'll attach canvas or paper. We fashioned a brake using a standard bicycle brake, cable and lever. About $30. I found that once spinning, the centrifugal force from the weight of the shaft adapter, foamcore and canvas would keep the motor spinning for a…
