- table fan
- plastic bucket with lid
- drill with hole saw
- polystyrene bucket or other insulated material
- pencil
- cutter
- 30 cm of PVC pipe (same diameter as the hole saw)
- saw
- plastic bottles filled with frozen water
1. Lay the face side of the fan down on the plastic bucket lid.
2. With a pencil, trace the outline of the fan to make a cutting line.
3. Using the cutter and being careful , cut along the line, slightly inside the line. Cut slowly, using the same motion as with a saw. If necessary, widen the diameter, so that the fan fits snugly in the hole.
4. Depending on the type of your fan, it may be necessary to use the hacksaw to cut the feet or the plastic support, as in the image below.
5. Then insert the fan into the hole in the cover and set it aside.
6. Drill three holes in the side of the bucket, holding it firmly in place. Use the drill with the hole saw or a bit of the same diameter as the PVC pipe.
7. Put the polystyrene insulated bucket in the plastic bucket. Drill it using the holes in the side of the bucket as guides.
8. With the hacksaw, cut the PVC pipe into three pieces, about 7 to 10 cm each.
9. Insert the three pieces of PVC pipe into the holes. Normally the pipe will fit snugly to the holes. If not, use expanding foam to caulk the holes inside the bucket.
10. Now cut out the lid of the polystyrene bucket, so that you can fit the fan in it, just like you did for the plastic lid.
10. All you have to do is put your frozen bottles inside the bucket.
