Long time lurker.... ever Ghostbusters supporter...
I am looking to build a Gigameter based on some of the posts that I have seen here... and let me say, you builders are a talented bunch.... and some of my own ideas..... As I progress this build, I will ask for some help... but I also ask for patience. I have many irons in the fire, and little time on projects...
Here is what I am starting with:
Pictured is a "spinner" toy, can of food at approximate "hoop" dimensions that look good. I also sourced a device to base the build off of... as a second warning... I try to be economical when possible....
No... not $150.00.... it was $1.50 for the hand held mixer.
I got the idea of the spinner from you good folks (thank you much)... I searched high a low to actually find one... I ended up getting it at a local Target (it was the last one).
First up was to modify the "base" as I refer to it. The mixer has a slightly convex base which needs some modification... I want it to be flat, along with the segmented look...
First was to strip the internals and strip off the paint.
