Kitchen Organizing with K'nex: Lid Holder

Wow, it's been quite a while since I've posted a new build. I was on vacation for almost two weeks this month. My hubby and I took an Alaskan cruise, and I loved every minute of it! But you didn't come here to read about that, so let's get down to business.

I am continuing to find ways to organize my kitchen using knex. Over the past couple days, I have been trying to make a holder for the lids for my pots and pans. I have two different sets of lids, so it was a little tricky finding the right combination of parts, but I think I've finally got it. I plan to put this in the cupboard right up against the edge, and then I can stack my pots up next to it!

Also, I do run out of ideas for builds every now and again, so if you've got anything you'd like to see knex-ified, let me know! =D

Knex Box Fan

As we approach summer and temperatures increase, I decided to create a motorized box fan. It's small, light, and fairly functional. However, I am planning on placing either paper or some sort of other material on the fan blades to create a greater breeze. I will try and post a video up of it soon!

Here's the front view

I attached the motor so that it is turning the rod that is bound to the large, yellow gear. As you might imagine, the gear does have its work cut out for it as it is turning the fan blades at a quick pace. However, this motor seems better-equipped for it than the two-part motor (the red and clear one that I use to run the Ferris Wheel).
