Build the wooden frame for the Giant Bubble Machine, as an alternative to using a store-bought sawhorse or folding stand.

I enjoy just about any kind of woodworking, so I decided to make the wooden stand for my Giant Bubble Machine project instead of just buying one.

Steps

Step #1:

  • Screw and glue together two 3-feet long sticks into an uneven X shape, making the cross at about 3/4 of the length.
  • Now do another pair. Make sure the two Xs come out as identical as possible to one another, for maximum stability.
  • Don’t worry about excess wood. You can trim it off later.

Step #2:

  • Connect the two Xs with a horizontal stick, using both screws and glue.
  • Leave an extra 4-5" sticking from one side, for the kit box housing the Arduino.
  • That's it! Now you're ready to dress it up (I used pool noodles) and add the giant bubble blowing workings. See MAKE vol. 28 for complete plans.
