Hi All,

Like all, I bought many fidget spinners for my son, they did not last long.. may be poor quality or just rough usage.

I had many bearing and plywood pieces from previous projects. So thought to make wooden fidget spinners

In this instructable, will share two types of fidget spinner made from recycled items
