Building a Prize Wheel with Dry Erase Board

My wife needed a prize wheel for an event she was attending, so I built this simple version using a bunch of little tips and tricks. This version uses a marker board circle so the prizes in each slot can be easily erased and rewritten.
The frame was made from scrap wood left over from another project, but it can be made from many types of materials.
As for the spinning mechanism, I was able to use an old fidget spinner that my son gave me.
I hope you like it and get inspired to build some of your own projects.

I have to build one of these, so far this is the best breakdown of steps and helpful reminders about the build process. Excellent video!

[@phunkissartisticcreations2316]

From the lap joints to the fidget spinner to the dry erase board...this is an awesome project!

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you, it was definitely a fun experience to try a bunch of stuff.

[@JG24AJ]

Wow, what a good babysitter and a party pleasers that would be, I'm running out of words on how great your projects are & the fine details you put into your videos!🏆

[@SpecificLove7]

You are so kind. Thank you, it is really great to read your comments.

[@fourohs]

I saw a lot of comments asking for measurements. I used 1x1inch wood, cut into (3) 8-inch pieces for base, (1) 20-inch piece for vertical stand, and (1) 4inch piece for the top piece (the little plastic holder). I think he used a 16 inch round whiteboard, but I ended up finding a 12-inch unfinished board and it worked just fine. I bought the dowels and everything else from Lowe’s for under 20 bucks.

[@kctsp6631]

That's pretty cool, thanks again for sharing.

[@groznyentertainment]

looks great- the challenge is always to make something that packs flat- for the traveling entertainer

[@susanhill6803]

What a neat idea! I'm thinking of uses for it already. Love the dry erase board to give options for continued use. Thanks!

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you

[@soymasfina]

ok now I could see it better and understand I watch so many videos and couldnt get it with this one now I gout so far I hope just need learn how to find the center of the cirle

[@user-rp9fu4rn7q]

Thank you for making this video 😊 it helps!!

[@TheLightHouseLady]

Great idea! I like the dry erase board, you can change your prizes for different situations.

[@SpecificLove7]

So true, thanks

[@myriamgrf]

[@henrie.c]

This would help me if I had all those tools to be able to make one

[@rockytopwrangler2069]

nice ,, as a carpenter and woodworker, I like some of your projects....👍

[@SpecificLove7]

Thank you very much

[@Sussy-hotdog]

Nice work. Might have made the job easier with a geometric compass and protractor.

[@Totalballa41]

Which paint did you use to get it where an expo marker wouldnt wipe it away?

[@lyndsaybrown376]

Do you happen to have measurements for this spinner?

[@kevinmcjunkin3546]

Do you have to measurements for this?

[@eschrader]

Any tips for a bearing on a 7' tall wheel? A lazy Susan bearing might be too slow

[@miyahhofer1864]

What exactly does the cover and nail get glued to on the fidget spinner?

[@ankursharma7583]

I tried this but I am facing an issue with it it always stops at the same place. the circle is correct other mechanisms are also fine.

[@Totalballa41]

That sounds like a weight issue. That side it keeps landing on is the heaviest
