Hello all,
I was interested in making a rocking chair move on its own, rocking back and forth. I'm not sure if i'll keave it empty or put a skeleton in it. It seems like it would be easy to hook up but im not mechanically inclined....
I used the rotate part of an old fan motor to rock my rocking chair with a witch. The witch is about 30lbs, and the motor rocked her pretty well. Since it was "back-and-forth" part of the motor, I just screwed on a wedge that would slide under the back of the chair and push it forward and up. Worked well, and it was pretty quiet.
