Thank you. Please keep in mind (as noted in the description) that the lazy Susan bearing ended up not working as well as I'd hoped. Use a pair of flanged roller bearings instead and sandwich the wheel between the flanges. You'll have a much better spinning wheel. Best of luck to you.

Good idea with the lazy susan and the template to find the center. I'm planning on just using a 1/2" steel shaft for my center. But I may switch now.
@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff5 жыл бұрын
No! Don't switch! It turns out the lazy Susan bearing has too much drag. On my later prize wheels, I went with a pair of flanged roller bearings on the shaft. That works vastly better than the lazy Susan!

Hey Steve! It looks great...you put a lot of work into that project... One thought: The lazy susan bearings work best in the horizontal position...your wheel would spin better if you used a bicycle wheel hub or something meant to be vertical. No offense...just a thought. Love your vids!

Omarateastwind No offense taken. The lazy Susan bearing does have a lot of drag. Too much for my liking. I may, at some point, remove that bearing and go with a roller bearing and steel shaft.

FWIW, I used a S6004 RS bearing. Cheap and easy to find. I made a bearing pack with 1-1/4 schd. 40 PVC, it was a nice slip fit on the OD. I captured the bearing by gluing in a piece of pipe then cutting it off flush. A 3/4" bolt makes a good axle, a couple wraps of tape for centering and a short piece of cast iron pipe for a spacer. Just some thoughts to get started. I'm sure you can figure out the details :)

What a wonderful video. The finished wheel looks PRETTY heavy (3/4" plywood!!!) which, of course, makes the wheel useful and durable. We raise money for Rottweiler rescue (although we rescue other dogs sometimes) and have been talking about creating a prize wheel for our fund raising. I am an artist and like to build things, but making a wheel similar to yours would be a challenge for me because of the question of tools. (I do use a router, for example, but am scared to death of the thing so ONLY use it in a very elaborate router table...and I don't have a table saw.) However I'm thinking I might be able do it using a modified way; but, of course, it wouldn't be nearly as nice as yours. I appreciate seeing how you used the lazy susan mechanism and how you made the pointer thingy. Thank you. I LOVED watching you work!!!
@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff7 жыл бұрын
Thank you very much! It's actually not that bad, weight-wise. It's heavy duty but not excessively heavy. But let me recommend that you use roller bearings _instead_ of lazy Susan bearings. The wheel will spin more freely and you'll get more random results. One of these days I'll be upgrading mine to flanged roller bearings. I'll make a video showing how I make the change. The lazy Susan bearing really has too much drag. Thanks for watching and best of luck to you.

Also, if you use the circle jig I used (I have a video showing how I made it) the router won't be quite as scary. Just cut a third of the way through or less in each pass, don't try to rush it and everything will work out just fine.

nice vid. I made a prize wheel last year out of acrylic so we could have some sort of a white board aspect to it, change what the categories were every so often. The spinning on this wheel seems like it locks up quickly, is that because of the flapper or the lazy susan? I ended up using a half threaded hex bolt with some nuts and washers and that worked out pretty good.
@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff7 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching. The problem ended up being the lazy Susan bearing. I've been recommending others use a pair of flanged roller bearings, and have been doing so myself on other prize wheels. Lazy Susan bearings just have too much drag. One of these days - and I've been saying this ever since but haven't had a chance to do so yet - I'm going to convert this wheel over to roller bearings. When I finally do it I'll make a follow-up video showing the conversion. But I also have more prize wheel orders I've got to fulfill in the coming months. So I'll show in a video how to use roller bearings. I appreciate your comment.

Was looking for a perfect way to make my prize wheel and found it. Amazing video, great skills. Where can I find the wooden piece of wood to stop the wheel. Is there something I can buy with a spring in it to stop the wheel.

+Kaqudia Patterson Thank you. Honestly, if you can do this with flange style roller bearings in the middle the wheel will spin a lot more freely than this one does with the lazy susan bearing. I'm making another prize wheel with the roller bearings. That will be a future video to show the alternate construction method. Unfortunately though, that may be several more months away because I'm currently without a shop and looking for a new space to set up again. The made the pointer you're talking about. It's cut from 3/4" birch plywood.

what do you charge to make a smaller spinning wheel with 10 spots that will spin more freely than your big one?

Will a heavier wheel make it spin for a longer amount of time? like a roulette wheel?

Yes. But the best way to solve the dragging issue is what I've been doing on my wheels since this one, which is to do away with the lazy Susan bearing and sandwich the wheel between a pair of flanged roller bearings. The roller bearings work MUCH better.

Good job... I wouldve saved time and gone to a craft store for the numbers though!!!

Martha Paewhenua I'm going to be mentioning in an upcoming video that I'd go with a regular roller bearing and shaft, rather than the lazy susan bearing. I'll most likely be modifying my wheel by replacing the type of bearing I used. The lazy Susan bearing works but doesn't really allow for as many revolutions of the wheel as you'd probably want. Thanks for watching!
