Turnstile- If you would like to make a turnstile for the stage or any other classroom attraction, here are the materials you will need:
- four ¾ inch PVC (18-inch lengths),
- four ¾- inch PVC end caps,
- round outdoor ¾ -inch PVC electrical junction box,
- 1 ¼ -inch by 3 foot wooden dowel,
- nails or drywall screws,
- PVC glue, plywood scrap,
- patio umbrella stand, or mic stand for base,
- spray paint primer for plastic,
- chrome metallic spray paint for plastic.
To make the turnstile, first paint all the pieces with the primer
then the finish paint once the primer has dried. Next, attach the four
smaller lengths of PVC pipe into the electrical junction box as arms of
the turnstile. Use PVC glue to secure the arms and add the caps to the
end of each pipe. Finally, attach 1 ¼-inch dowel rod to the base. Remove
the cap of the electrical junction box. Place the box on the top of
the dowel with the open side up. Attach the box to the dowel through
the center with a nail or screw. Be sure nails or screws are not too
tight so the box will turn on top of the dowel. Replace the cap of the
junction box. *Note- A two inch PVC pipe can be glued to the bottom of
the junction box. When dry, slide the pipe over a mic stand
pole.
Thank you so much for your tutorial! These are a lot more helpful than the ones in the book, or at least a lot more accessible.
