Bought a Crookes Radiometer or solar engine from the internet it, had an unatractive plastic base to it. I cut the base away and turned a new one on my lathe made from Pau Amerello wood. I then fitted an engraved fibreboard disc in the bottom of the base to complete the project. Before fitting, I engraved the disc with my logo and information about the science behind the operation of the Radiometer. I also used a cut layer to cut out the circle.
