How to Make a Game Wheel

Cut the 1-inch thick plywood into a circle, 35 inches in diameter.

Cut the 1-inch plywood into two rectangular pieces, 2 inches wide by 24 inches long.

Cut another rectangle to measure 1 1/2 inches wide by 32 inches long.

Cut a rectangle from the 2-inch thick wood, 10 inches by 15 inches.

Screw a hole in the center of the circle and in the center of the 10-by-15 inch rectangle.

Nail the three long rectangles to the underside of the 10-by-15-inch rectangle, spacing evenly. Make sure the longer rectangle is in the middle.

Nail a piece of wood, roughly 1 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 inches, at the end of the longest rectangle. Cut a slit in the top and insert a piece of pliable plastic into the slit. This is the flapper that stops the wheel.

Place a screw through the wood and plastic to hold it in place.

Place two washers on top of the hole in the large rectangle, then place the wooden wheel on top.

Place two more washers over the hole in the wheel.

Push a wood bolt through the washers, wheel and bottom block. It needs to be between 2 and 2 1/2 inches long.

Divide your wheel into the desired amount of pie slices.

Drill a hole in each pie slice, a few inches from the edge of the wheel.

Push a 3 3/8-inch-long dowel into the hole.

Sand all the wooden parts smooth to prevent hands from getting splinters.

Paint the pie wedges your desired colors and allow to dry before using.
