Your attention to detail is astounding, right down to how the numbers' outlines are solid white instead of holographic on the top-left corners!
I, too, would pay you big money to build me one.

I too would commission you to make one with a touch of retro as well as individual wedges and template halves.

Wow, thanks for the compliments! I'd be happy to make some for you guys. If you would like me to build one, please private message me an offer. I will start working on a list of materials that I used in the meantime. It might take me a month or two to complete. We can then go from there.

So I listed it on Ebay, we will see if it sells. I had fun making it most certainly.

Looks like you got no takers just yet.
I saw the listing the day you posted it, Will, and I have to say, $1,700 as a starting bid, on top of $125 shipping, is just way too steep, as impressive as the Wheel is. I would probably only pay that much for a Wheel that was at least four feet wide, or with free add-on wedge requests. If I do buy it, I may request add-on wedges or cover up the base layout to make it accurate with the show, even though I do like your changes to it. Your wedges are so impressive and durable that any add-ons I make myself would probably be too off-model.
Also, seeing it spin, is there no way to loosen it a bit? I mean, it is realistic with the show that it only goes a little over a full rotation, but does it have the ability to spin more smoothly or for a longer duration?

I appreciate the feedback. Yes I have been working on making the spinning more smooth. It does need that. One of the challenges is weight helps the one of tv spin smoothly and slow smoothly. I still have to figure that out. My wife has talked me into keeping this one. No one would want to pay what I want to get for it. It is prototype in nature and brings me joy in tinkering with it as a hobby. I do have multiple add on wedges, I'll post here at some point. I've made many prize wedges.
