tbutler Report post Posted June 14, 2009 If you are the king of your castle, you need a scepter! This is a device I constructed for my vertically challenged wife but it comes in handy for me as well. There you are sitting on your throne when it becomes apparent that some ventilation would be helpful, perhaps even life saving! But you can't get up to the ceiling controls for the fan vent. You can't open the vent and you can't set the fan speed sitting there where you are. Pick up the scepter and open the vent, set fan speed, reach over and open a window and start breathing again. The scepter is constructed of 1" PVC, not schedule 40, but the lightweight stuff instead. I used a 1" to 1 1/2" adapter for the large end. The adapter was notched with a jig saw to create four fingers to fit the four fingered design of my fan vent knob. Inside the other end I glued a strip of felt. This is just the right diameter to slip over the fan speed knob and the felt gives the grip needed to turn that knob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have solved the problem of the age and you will save many lives and prevent asphyxiation of many a good man and some ladies, including Willa, also. Seriously, is there any way to attach a book, like Playboy or Field and Stream to the handle of this ''scepter'' so that one might hold said scepter between ones knees, while on the thrown, and read articles of information of interest to said King.
