Wanted to break off from my original thread to make a bigger post showing the full completion of my wooden wheel build! Back in late 2022, the idea for this popped in my mind. It would be fun to have a wheel to host game nights but also just to build something and gain some skills in the process. So, I went to my local college's workshop studio where you can pay for a membership and have access to tools to start building this thing. With help/designs from MarioGS , the flippers from PARANOiAMAX and some inspiration from them and other wheel builds, and over 60 hours of designing CNC files, cutting over 100 wedges, staining the wheel, painting the individual wedges, using saws, maybe making some pegs uneven and other little mistakes along the way, we got to this. I'm gonna do a video on the wheel build at a later time but here's some general pics! ROUND LAYOUTS
(first round)
EXPRESS ROUND MYSTERY ROUND (I like mystery) FINAL ROUND
SPECIAL WEDGES
BONUS ROUND
I'm happy to answer any questions, explain pieces of the build and how I did them or whatever you would love to know! I just know I could take up paragraphs on explaining the process, but I'm really happy with how it came out and hope to hold onto it for years to come. It's very customizable and if I wanted to add pieces to it, I easily could. (It's fun to make the wheel harder/easier with an easy switch). Thanks to this dedicated community for their help and love of the game!

It's really interesting to see the numbers colored instead of the wedge itself. Nice layouts, too, and I really like the colors of the four-digit wedges.
Four Mystery Wedges? What goes under them?
Also, is the Surprise a "permanent" wedge? It doesn't look like it's sitting on top of anything and it's still on for R4 while the other add-ons are gone.

Yeah for the basic wedges I wanted the letters painted to maintain the wood look of the wedges and wheel. But I decided later to paint in all special wedges. Haha yeah, went with four mysteries, two Bankrupts and two are $10,000. The only reason really is because I had some extras that I made in the event the mystery wedges cut weirdly (so you could tell which is which) but that didn't happen and with the paint, it makes it hard to tell. Decided to make a four layout just to make it more wacky! Yes, I will probably make the surprise a pick up wedge with Velcro, and put a basic amount underneath, that's a good suggestion/reminder!

Interesting. So I imagine the remaining Mysteries would go out of play once either two Bankrupts or two $10K's were found.
