The Price Is Right Big Wheel

I decided to make a Price is Right Big Wheel for my daughter's upcoming 13th birthday party. I've never tried anything like this and thought it would be cool to give her a birthday party outside of the usual.

I'd like to show you how to make one as well.

The very first thing is cutting circles for the wheel.

1. Take the 3/4 inch 4ft X 8ft plywood sheet and cut it in half with the circular saw to where you now have 2 equal 4ft X 4ft squares. It is pictured here where one of the squares in on the ground and one of the finished circles is on the saw horse.
2. Then measure the 4ft X 4ft squares so that you can find the middle of them. With a tape measure, measure 2ft down and 2ft across and where the two meet is the middle point of the 4ft X 4ft square. Marked that spot with a nail (preferably a nail with a large head). After marking the middle of the square with a nail, then get a string (It can be a shoes string as long as it is long enough) and tied the string to the nail. Having the head of the nail being big enough to where the string doesn't slip off is good. Pull the string to edge of the wood and tie a pencil to the other end of the string. You can go as far as you can go with the pencil on the edge of the wood and with the string attached to the nail in the middle, draw a circle around the 4ft X 4ft wood square. The size of the circle will depend on how big you want it. In the wheel above the circles are as big as you can make them from the 4ft X 4ft square so the strings were pulled to the edge of the square as far as they could go. From the middle of the square to the edge of what would be the circle the radius was 23.25 inches which makes for a total diameter for the full circle 46.5 inches which is just under 4ft. Honestly you really only have to draw the circle on one of the squares and you'll understand why on the next step.
3. After the squares were made then use a jig saw (with a blade that is designed for cutting wood) to cut the circles. Cutting circles with a jigsaw is the best bet since the blades of the jigsaw are more flexible than other saws. Remember it is a good idea to always were safety googles anytime you are using saws of any sort. You can put the two squares on the saw horses lined up with each other. Move the saw horses as close as you can to the center of the squares while still ensuring stability to be able to cut. The reason for moving them to the center was to make sure there was enough room for the outside of the squares to be cut with the jig saw. To ensure the square don't move while cutting you can use 3 Pittsburgh 6" Quick Release Bar Clamps to clamp the two squares together so that they could be cut at the same time (which is the reason in step 2 you only have to draw a circle on one of the squares). The square with the circle is the one that would need to go on top to make sure it is visible for cutting. As you are cutting with the jigsaw you will get to the places where the clamps are and you will have to move them to different spots as you cut out the circles.
4. After cutting make sure the circles stay in place on top of each other still clamped together.

This step can be a little tricky and you will possibly need a couple more people to help.

1. While the circles are still on the saw horses clamped together, you will drill a hole in the center of them. In the exact center where the nail was that you used to pull the string for creating the circle you will drill a 3/4 inch hole using the drill and the 3/4 inch hole saw. It is important to drill through them both at the same time to ensure the holes line up exactly even on both circles. Continue to have them clamped to each other and remain on the saw horse.
2. After the holes are drilled then you will get one of the 3/4 inch pillow block bearings and line the middle of it up with the 3/4 inch hole you've just drilled. The middle hole of the pillow block bearing is 3/4 inches and should line up perfectly with the hole in the center of the circle. Once aligned mark with a pencil on the wood where the two outside holes on the pillow block bearing are on the wood. Once you have the markings then you will using the 1/4 inch drill bit and drill out the marking all the way through both of the circles. Now they are perfectly aligned.
3. You can separate the two circles now and what you'll add the pillow block bearings to each of the circles.The way that this will be done is by sandwiching each circle between two pillow block bearings as in the picture with the red arrow. So there will be a pillow block bearing on both sides of the circle aligned with the 1/4 inch holes and bolt them together using the 1/4 inch bolt and hex nuts. So there should be a total of 4 pillow block bearings used, two on each of the circles. The reason that there are two used for each circle is because the pillow block bearings pivot with just one of them on each circle and when they pivot with the rod in the middle your wheel will wobble (tongue twister). If you use one pillow block bearing on one side of the circle and the other backed against it and the bolt goes through them both, once the rod is in the middle they no longer pivot. That information just saved you about 2 days of research.
4. Now the tricky part and for this you will need an additional person or two. Lay one of the circles flat on the saw horse with the ends of the bolts pointing upward (As in the picture with the red circle). You will then take your 3/4 inch 3ft rod and insert it into the middle of the pillow block bearing to where there is about 12 inches sticking out of the bottom. You will then tighten the rod down with an Allen wrench using the two threaded bearings on the side of the pillow block bearing. (As in the picture with the yellow circle). Here is the part where you will need another person. What you will do then is bring the other circle with the pillow block bearings and slide it up onto the upper part of the 3/4 inch threaded rod to where there is about 12 inches between the two circles or 12 inch of the rod protruding up from the top circle. Then tighten the pillow block bearings to the rod for the second circle.
5. At this point you should have both circles secured to the rod and they should spin independently of each other if given a pull. To make them both spin at the same time as each other you will then add 3 equally cut 2 X 4 to the inside of the circles. These will be cut approximately 12 inches each since the two circles are a foot apart. They can all be put on opposite ends of each other to ensure the wheel spins evenly. You can drill them in each side using the 2 inch wood screws. It should look like the picture with the blue circles. Once this is complete you should be able to rest the each side of the rods on the saw horses (one saw horse on each side) making sure the circles aren't touching the ground and making sure the ground is even and give it a spin. This is the core of the wheel.

1. You will need to get one of the 4X8 plastic wall panels and cut it in half to where you now have 2 squares that are 4ft X4ft squares. (It is important to note that one side of the panel is for glue to be on later and the other side is where you will make markings with a pencil in the steps to come. Please look at the picture above with the orange circle with the tag on it noting the side for glue.)
2. Once you have two equal squares it is now time to find the middle point on each square. Ideally, it should be 2ft to the center from the sides and 2ft to the center from the top or bottom and where the two meet is your center point. It would be a good idea to measure your squares length and width to ensure that they are exactly 4ft X 4ft. Because my circles were 46.5 inches or 3.875ft in diameter, I wanted to make sure the radius (half the diameter) for the panels were at least 23.25.
3. After find the middle of the squares then it is time to attach a nail to the center point that was just found and attach a string that stretches to a length of whatever your wood circle's radius is. In the case of the circles above the radius is 23.25. With the string tied to a pencil on the other end, you will draw a circle around the plastic wall panel. Now you should have a full circle measuring the same diameter as your wood circle.
4. The next thing to do is cut out the circle with the large shears. The shears as mentioned in the tools are strong enough to cut the thick plastic panels.
5. After the circles have been cut then you will take a 2X4 that's at least the full length of your plastic wall panel circle and using the hole the nail was once in at the center of the circle, line up the edge of the 2X4 at that center point and draw a line right down the center of the circle. So you should have two equal halves of the circle at this point.
6. Using the angle finder you will place the angle find on the center line you have just drawn down the center of the circle. The angle finder's 0 degrees should be on this line and at every 9 degrees using the numbers at the top of the angle finder you will put a mark indicating where you will draw your line. Notice in the picture with the yellow angle finder that there is a red arrow on the edge of the angle finder, as this is not where you want to line up the angle finder to the line draw down the center of the circle. It should be lined up with where the 0 degree is (slightly above the edge where the green arrow points). If not properly lined up it will throw off the angles of each panel. The green circled numbers in the picture are the ones that you will use to go around and mark every 9 degrees all the way to 180 degrees. That will take care half of the circle and after that you will basically flip the angle finder upside down and do the exact same thing on the other half of the circle.
7. After the angles are marked you will use the edge of the 2X4 used earlier to draw the lines from the center mark of the circle to the outer end of the circle. With a total of 9 degrees each there should be a total of 20 different panels at the end. 10 for each half of the circle.
8. Repeat the same steps for the other 4ft X 4ft half of the square plastic panel so that you will have a total of 20 for one wood circle and 20 for the other wood circle.
9. You can now cut out each panel using the shears. (It is critical to keep the panels next to each as pictured in the above photo with the purple oval other as they are cut out to ensure when adhered to the wood circles they fit together perfectly.) There is a picture above of what the full circle looks like with the lines drawn on them and them being cut out.
10. After each of them are cut out it is time to spray paint. (Keep in mind that You will need to use a respirator mask in a well ventilated area for this) (Keep in mind also to spray paint the side that is not used for the adhesive later as mentioned earlier) You will need the Spring Green Rustoleum spray paint, the Metallic Champagne Bronze Rustoleum spray paint. If you decided to use a white spray paint for the white panels it is up to you. It is optional and not a necessity. You can start with any one of the panels you would like and work your way around painting each of them the colors pictured above. I worked my way around painting them while they were still on the ground as in the picture above with the 2 green and 2 white panels. It is important to keep up with which panels are next to each other as you paint. At the end you should have a total of 2 Spring Green panels 10 white panels and 8 Metallic Champagne Bronze panels for each side of the wood circles as seen in the picture with the baby blue squares.
11. You will now use the Liquid Nails Fuze it Max and the caulk gun to adhere each panel to the side of the wheel. (It is important to first adhere the panels to the side of the wheel that you will be attach handles to later to spin) In the case of the wheel here that was built this was the left side of the wheel. (Another important thing is to only adhere this one side at the moment, you won't adhere the other side until after the next step.) As you are attaching the panels using the Liquid Nails Fuze it Max you may notice that the panels extend further inward and may hit the pillow block bearing. You can cut a piece of the panel with the shears so that it doesn't hit the pillow block bearing as pictured in the photo with the two baby blue squares. (The inner baby blue square is the one to look at)
12. After you have completed attaching the panels to the wood now is the time to attach the hole center drawer pulls (handles). They can be attached to the end of every other panel since there is a quantity of 10 handles and 20 panels. This is pictured above in the photo with the lime green arrow. Using a drill with an attached 4.5mm drill bit you will drill holes for the handles to insert the screws.

It is important to remember that right after this step you can attached the spray painted panels to the other wood circle. This step has to be done first to ensure everything is aligned.

1. This step is tedious due to the fact that you will be measuring each of the panels edges and making the out panels accordingly. And what is meant by the outer edges is pictured above in the photo with the red oval. The measurement of the edge will determine the size of each out panel you create.
2. Once you have the length and width of each panel then you will cut out 20 different rectangular panels using the 1/8 inch utility panel. This is best cut using the jigsaw. (Don't forget your goggles). Each outer panel will be approximately 7.3 inches in height and 12 inches in width if the diameter of your wood circles are 3.875ft in total.
3. Using the second 4X8 plastic wall panel you will cut out the exact same size on this as you did on the utility panel and attached them together using the Liquid Nails. (It is important to apply the adhesive to the side of the plastic wall panel that is used for the adhesive.) You should have a total of 20 different rectangular panels consisting of 1/8 inch utility panel and plastic wall panel.
4. You will then spray paint each panel on the plastic wall panel side. You will spray paint every panel black except for the ones that correspond to the green side panels, those will be spray painted green. (This can be seen in the picture with the purple square)
5. After painting they are now ready to be attached to the sides of the wood circles. This will be done using the drill with a phillips head drill bit and the #8 X 1/2 inch screws. As pictured above in the photo that has the green panels and yellow circles.
6. Once all of the panels are attached you can now add the painted side panels to the other side of the wood circle.
7. At this point you should have all of the paneling on the wheel completed.

1. You will start this step by determining how high you want your wheel and that will determine how much of the 4X4's you want to cut. For the wheel above, the rods sit right at a little over 4 feet. If you could like it to be higher you can or lower, but it really depends on your preference.
2. I will give the instructions based on the dimensions used for this wheel. Take the two 6ft 4X4's and measure 4ft long and mark to be cut. Using the circular saw, with the depth able to cut through at least 4 inches and a blade designed for cutting wood, cut off 2 feet in length on each of them.
3. One the ends that were cut attach the 4X4 wood post brackets using the provided screws along with the brackets. There are 4 holes on each side of the brackets and you will drill 4 screws into the holes directly into the 4X4 wood on each side of the brackets as pictured in the photo above with the red circle.
4. Next, grab the 8ft 4X4 piece of wood and cut two 27 inch pieces in length. The will serve as the pieces that will be on the ground like the picture above with the blue rectangle.
5. Next you will take the remainder of the 8ft 4X4 and cut two 19.5 inch pieces in length and this will serves as the front and back pieces to the stand as pictured in the photo with the yellow rectangles.
6. Now you can attach the pieces with the brackets to the two pieces 27 inch pieces that will lie across the floor. You will put attach the brackets using the supplied screws in the holes identified in the photo with the red arrow to the center of each of the 27 inch pieces.
7. Using the lag screw fasteners you will then attach the 27inch 4X4's to the 19.5 inch 4X4's at the ends as pictured in the photo above with the greens arrows. (Note this type of screw uses a torx screwdriver bit. This type of screw doesn't have to be used, it was used here mainly because of the length. I was unable to find a 6 inch phillips screw for some reason.)
8. After all of them are securely attached then you can add the Simpson strong tie brackets to the inside of the corners as pictured in the photos with the purple circles. The 2 inch wood screws can be used to secure them to the corners.
9. The next thing you will do is cut a 6 to 8 inch long of 2X4 piece of wood to attach to the inside of one of the post using 2 inch wood screws as pictured in the photo above with the yellow arrows. If you are looking at the wheel to give it a spin the handles are on the left and this piece of wood is on the right side 4X4ft post of the stand. If it located about 6 to 8 inches from the threaded rod.
10. Once the 2X4 block is attached you will then cut plastic wall panel using the shears. You will cut 3 pieces all the same size of 2 inches tall and 6 inches long. You will glue the three pieces together with the Liquid Nails and once dry you will attached them using 2 of the 2 inch wood screws to the 2X4 block that is attached to the 4X4 post on the stand as pictured in the photo above with the orange arrow. This will be the stopping mechanism for the wheel.
11. The next step is to attach 20 of the 1/4 X 2 inch steel dowels to the inside of the wheel. Using a drill with a 1/2 inch drill bit, drill holes in the middle of the side panels on the right hand side of the wheel (The same side as the 2X4 block/stopping mechanism). The holes are to be 9 inches from the center of the pillow block bearing on the panel as pictured in the photo above with the white oval. Insert the steel dowels into the holes and use a rubber mallet to tap them in to where there is about 1.25 inches sticking out and they should stay in place. (The dowels do a much better job of staying in place if they are spray painted. The spray paint gives them friction). Once the wheel is up on the stand the steel dowels should rub against the white plastic wall panels, which will create friction for the wheel to slow down and eventually stop.
12. The next part is to create notches/grooves for the threaded rod to sit in. This is down using a chisel and hammer. You can use a chisel like the ones pictured in the link provided in the tools section for chisel. This will be used to create a notch for the threaded rod to sit in like the picture above in the photo with the white square. The depth is up to you but it is important to make sure the depths are the same on each of the 4X4's so that the wheel is level. You can use a tape measure to measure the depth and also a level once the wheel rods are places in the notches by placing the level longs ways on the rod to see if it is level.
13. Once you are satisfied with how level the grooves are you can now spray paint the stand to your desired color. In the case of the stand above it is spray painted black.

1. Before adding the numbers take the Duck silver glitter crafting tape and cut them into 1 inch width 12 inch length strips. The tape roll itself is 2 inches in width, so you'll be cutting it in half. Using the 1”x 30” scotch mount extreme double sided tape you will cut 12 inch lengths of that as well. There should be a total of 20 of each of those, the glitter tape along with the double sided tape. You'll then add the tape in between the panels covering the gaps along with the glitter tape on top of the double sided tape as pictured above in the photo with the blue arrows.
2. Next using the drill with the 1/2 inch drill bit you will drill holes on the right hand side of the tape in between the panels right into the wood circle as picture in the photo with the orange circle. Then you will use a mallet to tape in the remaining 20 of the steel dowels. (Keep in mind, the dowels will stay in place much better if spray painted first.)
3. Now you are ready to add the adhesive numbers to the side. It is pretty straight forward here. All you do is stick the numbers to the wheel using a plastic card of some sort the make sure there are no air bubbles in the vinyl letters. You will be using the iSYFIX vinyl numbers. It is important to remember that on the left side of the wheel (The side with the handles) the numbers on that side the 5 inch numbers are the last numbers (5's and 0's) (Pictured above with green arrow in photo) and the 4 inch numbers are the first numbers (1's - 9's). And on the other side of the wheel it's the opposite meaning the 4 inch numbers are the last numbers and the 5 inch numbers are the first ones. (Pictured above with the red arrow in the photo)
4. The next numbers added were the ones on the face of the wheel. I created these by making a box that was 3in X 3in on a piece of paper and basically free hand drawing the numbers while looking at the actual price is right wheel as you can see in one of the pictures above. All of the numbers are 3in X 3in on the face of the wheel. Once the freehand drawings of the numbers were complete I cut them out on the sheet of paper and traced the outline on the corresponding foam sheet. Most of the numbers I used the white foam sheets, but some of the numbers I used the red glitter foam sheet and the green foam sheet. Each of them you will use the gold foam glitter sheet as their background as pictured above in the photo with the red circle. You will use a hot glue gun to attach the foam numbers to the foam background and use the liquid nails to attach the golden backed foam numbers to the wheel panels centering them as much as possible.

1. You will use the 11/32 inch 4X8 plywood for the side panels with the lights. I had home depot cut it for me long was so that i brought home 2 2X8 inch panels. Once I got them home I cut them down to 7 feet each. So the were 2X7 inches.
2. I drew a curve at the top of each one not using any particular template, just free handed them.
3. The you will cut the curvature both at the same time using a jigsaw to make sure they are even. Using the clamps to hold them together when doing this helps them to not move.
4. After the panels are rounded at the top then you will get a 1 inch hole saw and go around the edges of each panel and make holes 1/2 inch from the edge and 9 inches apart from each other as pictured in the photo with the blue arrow. There should be a total of 12 holes made.
5. Once the holes are made it is now time to spray paint your side panels the color of your desire. Allow them to dry fully before the next move.
6. Once the holes are made insert the battery operated led bulbs to the panels and screw in the plastic bulb from the front to the light inserted in the back.
7. After attaching the bulbs you can screw in the side panels directly to the 4X4 stand post so that they can sit upright.
8. For the pointer I attached a red painted piece of 2X3X3 wood directly above the stopping mechanism with screws to where it extended out to the front of the wheel. You can freehand and use a jigsaw to cut out what's similar to what looks like a pointer and attach with wood glue to serve as a pointer.
9. You are now free to light up your wheel and give it a spin! Come on down!
