Can somebody give me their plans on building a marty fan frame how you built it and with what you used for materials thanks

I made my fan from a video that Brian Mitchell posted on you tube.  Here is a link to how Brian Mitchell built his Marty fan.

Although not as solid as the one Brian made I made one of of PVC that was fast, cheap and lasts quite a while (I still use)

Here it is on YT

At the end of that season i made it larger and I did something a little different in the middle at the bottom that made it a bit better, I could show you if you're interested

 

You can't beat following what Brian did, but it you don't have access to welding, PVC may be an option

Actually, here is the video.

No Plans per se for mine, but I have some close up pics if interested. I made mine out of bent EMT, angle iron and 1/4" rod.I felt the lights would sag over time, so I welded mine instead of using PVC. I made 2 halves that bolt together. The lights are attached to the 1/4" rod just like a wireframe with clips.

If interested in precision bending of EMT, I have a How-To on my website.
