Indoor weather vane project lights up Amherst home
Mort A. Plato of Amherst, owner of the Amherst Paper and Paint Shop, built an indoor weather vane with an electric system that links a roof arrow to a den indicator. The device, costing about 30, blends scrap brass motors and plywood, with plans for a wind speed meter. Plato, a longtime husband and father of six, enjoys DIY weather gear as a hobby despite his wife Frances’s reminders.
