Friday night went to eat where my niece works and showed me a prize wheel someone made for her restaurant and another 8.
They are so off center it wasn't funny.
The MDF board where the piece met where just screwed together, no glue and was splitting.

Asked me if I could make one for her restaurant this was Friday night about 10pm said she needs it by Sunday Said i would.

Got home made a design in carvewright for it.


Saturday morning me and the wife went mattress shopping ran out to the shop to see if I had enough lumber to build it. Nope told her after we get mattress I have to run up to woodworking store. Only place i could get some more oak to build this.
We go shopping and while out gt a text from my niece said she really needs 2 one for another store.
Told her Ill have to change the design since I wouldn't be able to do 2 by then.

So instead of oak end up being laminated pine from lowes.

Not perfect but a quick job.

Had to use Lazy Susan bearing instead of a sealed bearing that i wanted to use.
A little video. They are off center a little but not that bad. Hopefully they free up a little after being used.

Great job, maybe you will get to build hundreds for all the stores! Not a CW project but here is one a friend and I made for his job a few years ago.
