Like most having a fan is a must sometimes.  Whether it be for the heat, to aid with drying, or just air circulation.  But the thing is always in the way, taking up real estate on a bench you would be happier full of more junk,.... I mean stuff.  At first I mounted it to the ceiling and put it on a plate that swiveled.  Worked but still in the way and was a pain to take down.  Then someone gave me some t channel track for a garage door.  Now this had potential.  Made a carriage to slide on the track and mounted the fan.  It already swiveled up and down all I needed was side to side.  The track allows me to move it back and forth along that side of the wall.  Took some trial and error as I worked out various kinks.  Was going to balance the thing so it could be moved one handed.  Hung a c clamp on the end of a stick and figured out the weight.  Finally asked myself why am I screwing with this.  You have two hands, lets paint this and get on to something else.  LOL

 

Small project, not much time but nice to get the thing out of the way when needed, but always ready to go.

 

Enjoy, be inspired.

Great idea and use of the T track.

That's a "cool" idea!

They were throwing it away.  When I showed what I had made they brought me all kinds of stuff.  Have to see what that yields.
