I really want to start making some rotating candle pyramids. I started by using a 2005 issue pattern by Volker Arnold and Tom Sevy. It came out great buy I can't get it to spin. I have been checking internet and found others had problem. I have tried to change from a 6 blade to 12 blade. It helped a little but still having problems getting it to work with candles, a fan works great. Does anyone have any suggestions. I really want to start my own designs, but I have to figure out how to get it to work first. Thanks for any help.

Below is a correction printed in the Spring 2006 issue with a correction to the dimensions so it will spin.
SET IT STRAIGHT
Some of the pattern dimensions for the Rotating Christmas Pyramid, which appeared in Holiday 2005 (Issue 21) were incorrect. Here are the corrections to those dimensions.
The lower ceiling platform should be 35/16" x 53/4". You will need to re-center your hole for the dowel. The slots for the lower roof section are also incorrect. First, determine the center of the roof pieces. Then measure 1" out on both sides of the center. This mark will be the INSIDE of the slots. Revised patterns for the lower ceiling platform and the lower roof section are included on the pattern pullout in this issue. Increase the size of the dowel rod to 71/2". Also, do not epoxy the nails in place until you have dry-assembled the entire project and have made sure that it spins properly.

by Quartz43I also emailed the editor. There is no way that they are not aware of the issues....

I have recently written to the editor and made her aware of the two recent posts and asked her to chime in and give us their input on how to handle the scanning of the patterns. I have not heard back from Kaylee nor has she chimed in yet.
If you are not happy I suggest you email too. ...-

by will8989But Rolf are they copying them on home size copy machine and/or using programs to enlarge or shrink them? So I guess no one at Fox reads their forum anymore and knows what is being talked about?

It would be truly helpful if all publications were to clearly state on each pattern "enlarge pattern by x% for full size" or something like that which would clue the user in. But I'm like Rolf....I change the size of every pattern to get what I want.
