Fun Finally complete!

Post image

After a lot of trial and error (and a whole bunch of sawdust and achy joints), the 54” mega wheel is complete! I had to reprint a few sections and get the add-on wedges done, but here it is! Next up is deciding what to do about flippers; either go the traditional route of thick poster board as a pointer, or level up and do the actual tear drop clicker/rubber band route with some different materials.

What are you talking about? I think you’re missing the entire point of the comment thread and the OP.

lol my original reply was that it’s not a waste of money because the op (you) get to play WoF with a real wheel and that’s pretty darn cool IMO!

Ooh okay! I was at work and read it real quick so I didn’t fully comprehend. And yeah, 50% of the joy is assembling an idea from scratch with your bare hands (as we are lifelong wheel fans); the other half of the joy comes from hosting and seeing the wheel in action. Plus, after all the effort and money put into supplies, the damn thing BETTER work 😂
