linus6948 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) I was handed a very old wheel from what was once a wall mounted "Wheel of Chance" by a member of my Hunting Club and was asked to make a stand for it so it could be functional again and of course it had to be done for no money. So I recycled a flat screen TV base, a piece of electrical Kindorf and some odds and ends and it is now ready to spin again. As the club member that donated the antique chance wheel is as Irish as paddy's pig I figured I would decorate the stand I "cobbled together" in his honor. I disassembled it,painted it green and printed out some green shamrocks to decorate it.Then I repainted the red and the gold sections the best I could without damaging the antique graphics. I was able to clean decades of nicotine staining off the graphics with citrus hand-cleaning wipes. I then coated the clean but very fragile graphics with 8 coats of clear poly so they are under plastic now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4EIG8KNPMs Edited August 19, 2015 by linus6948 2 Quote
Ulu Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 That wheel looks like it's cast metal of some sort? It's very nice. 1 Quote
