I will tell you in detail what I did and how.
To make a spinner I needed:
- A piece of MDF 4 mm.
- Bearing.
- 3 nuts.
- Super glue.
- Black acrylic paint.
Let's get started. Take a piece of MDF or other suitable material; in addition to wood, you can even use plastic, plexiglass or plexiglass. Start by measuring the outside diameter of your bearing. Take a compass and draw a circle with the required diameter (100 - 80 mm) - this will be the external size. Then draw a circle that matches the diameter of your bearing. Next, the circle is larger by 10 - 8 mm. Connect everything with guides as shown in the figure. Draw circles on three sides for the nuts.
Then, using a hacksaw or wood jigsaw, we cut out the outline of our spinner. To cut holes for the bearing and nuts, you need to use a special drill bit, but as always, I didn’t have it on hand, so I started drilling a hole in a circle.We remove the irregularities with a file and adjust the bearing to the mounting hole. The bearing must fit tightly in the seat, so the main thing here is not to overdo it.
When we have dealt with the central bearing, we move on to inserting the nuts. The technology is the same.
When you're done, go over it with sandpaper to remove all the burrs and unevenness of our base.
Clean the surface of our base from dust. Cover with acrylic paint. Can be varnished.
While we are waiting for it to dry, we will blow off any dust and dirt from the bearing and lubricate it a little.
When everything is dry, take super glue, coat the ends of the base where the nuts and bearing are inserted, and insert the bearing and nuts into the seats.
We wait about fifteen minutes - our spinner is ready!
This spinner has a classic shape, but it can also be made non-classically:
You have a large field for activity. You can use any shapes, colors and designs. Be brave, friends!
