Altoids ROMP(Random Oscillating Magnetnetic Pendulum)

Step 4 Which way now?

Okay. This might be hard to explain and to understand. So you are presented with 2 choices when making this. You can either use hot glue and piece the pole and overhang and then glue the base and holder, OR you can use paper clips to hold the pieces in place, improving portablility although sacrificing strentgh. Also, paper clipping looks better than hot glue everywhere ;p.

For the hot glue way(easier btw), glue the base perpendicular to the side of the can(so the base is sticking outwith the hollow center facing away from the can). Then, you make a 90 degree angle with the pole holder. Make sure it's straight and secured.Facing directly upwards. For the Pole+Overhang, make another 90 degree angle with them, and glue the corner. Your result should allow the pole to slip onto the holder easily.

Paper Clip way. You bend the paper clips like shown in the picture, so it will slip into the pole and overhang with a little force, securing it because of the angle at which the paper clip was bent. For the second clip, you can straighten it out, and cut it in half if you'd like. You make a 90 degree angle with the base and holder with the paper clip as the core. with a tiny end sticking out from the base, bend it 90 degrees and hot glue it to the side of the can. Then, "fold" up the rest of the paper clip from the holder, into the holder and glue the corner that joins the base and holder.

For some reason, my glue turned out brown-ish so it's really ugly. And this step is completely open for improvement, because my way sucks =].
