I got inspired to build a wheel after seeing PARANOiAMAX and his masterpiece. This wheel will actually be used for a TV show I'm producing and hosting for my college.
The wheel itself is 24 inches in diameter. I used a reversible table top from a restaurant wholesale site for the wood. I designed the layout using Photoshop and had a printing company in Queens print it out. I also bought a custom cut piece of plexiglass to protect the layout and make it easier to add goody wedges.
The wedges are glitter sheets that I stuck on magnet sheets that were cut down to size. The numbers themselves are just pieces of paper that I cut.
The pegs are extra long blind rivets that I drilled into the table top and the ball bearings are just...well...ball bearings...
The best part is the clicker. Paranoia lent me one of his clickers and man does it sound great!
Here's video of the wheel in action.
Lemme know what you think!
