on the right side of each face of the box draw a rectangle really thin by really long (your box is probably differently sized than mine, for me it was 1/2 in by a foot)
you should use a wood spacer to make it a whole lot easier
on one side draw a rectangle semi wide by really long (for me it was 3 1/2 in by a foot)
in the center of the top draw a circle the size of the fans blades
cut out what you drew
Finish the Box

soak a wad of paper towel in motor oil but leave a corner unsoaked (I used penns oil)
put on plate and place in the box
light the unsoaked corner, and after the oil is burning turn on the fan
watch the awesome flames
don't leave the fan on for more than a minute or the blades will melt
