Have to make a spinner wheel need suggestion. - jaustin - 03-04-2017

Have to make a spinner wheel for my niece store.

Need a suggestion for the arrow thing?
The person who made this one used a spring and the wheel is off center.
what can I use to make the pointer?

Thanks for the links. It helped in the flapper.

Anyone have a good suggestion on splitting the wheel into 8 section for the pegs?

I had to only make 1 starting last night now it is up to 2 by tomorrow. With the possibility of of another 7.

Use a rule and a compass.

I ended up making a square the size of the circle and making the lines I needed.
Thanks for the help and suggestions

I'll post pictures of it tomorrow.

Finished but they are off a little. When you spin them. Told her that next time give me more than a day and half to make them.
Used some Lazy Susan bearing and I think that might be where some of the off is from plus i am probably off a little on mounting them to the wheel and backer board.
