Building a Wheel of Fortune
Tools:
- Saw
- Screwdriver
- Key Ring
- Drill
Material:
- Stand 500x200x200mm
- Battens: 3x approx. 600mm
- Bicycle rim
- Chevron
- Perforated sheet
- Margarine tin
Description:
On camps and youth nights, this wheel is always a top seller. You do not need to buy an expensive wheel; you can easily build one yourself. You turn the wheel, which will make a loud noise and at some time the wheel will stop. Then you count the numbers, marked on the wheel.
Construction:
Use a thick piece of wood, for example, an oak beam as a stand. With three battens build a triangle. That is the stand for the wheel which you screw with Spax screws to the stand. Now screw the rim with the axle to the triangle.
From the margarine box cut off plastic strips (100x20mm), put three layers on top of each other and attach them to the triangle with Spax.
Now paint the wheel with different colours, don’t forget to paint numbers or symbols on it as well. You are ready to go now!
