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
Step 4: 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

wire in a cord to the motor and add whatever you want to spin
