Great looking fan Jim. If you try Gorilla glue, wet the wood and don't use much glue, it expands.
Try a test piece on some scrap and let it cure.

Well Jim, your video did me in... built a Baker fan last night and this morning from Erector parts and it turned out surprisingly sturdy and spins very freely. Will belt it up soon...

Thanks for the hint Tommy

When you mentioned it yesterday I thought Erector parts would make a pretty cool looking baker fan. Can't wait to see it and in action.

Turned out pretty neat looking and was an easy/fast build. Picked up a micro v-belt a few minutes ago to belt it up to the Case, but probably won’t have time till later this evening...

Belt it up to the Case, how big did you build that thing?
It's supposed to be a Bakers Fan not a leaf and snow blower.
