Step 1
On the sheet of
corrugated plastic,
use the ruler and
pencil to mark out the
base, upright and
support as shown on
the right. Cut the parts
out neatly. Slot the
support onto the
upright (you may
need to adjust the slot
length to allow the
bottom of the two
parts to line up). Glue
these to the base.
Step 2
Draw around the coin
on the card disc. Colour
in the disc with
alternating primary
colours. Push the pulley
onto the motor shaft
with the nose pointing
away from the motor.
Push the disc onto the
nose of the pulley.
