Spinning Wheel

With the one set not having anything in view other than a spinning wheel, I wanted to put quite a bit of effort into the creation of the spinning when which also had to be functional. Here was the reference image I used:

Initially I was thinking that one sat on the wheel itself so it was beneficial that I looked up some reference images to keep it as accurate as possible.

The wheel was crafted using a curtain pole ring that was sanded to shape and a groove cut into the outer side of it to allow thread to be placed. The spokes were created using chicken skewers that were cut to shape and the rest was created using different scraps of mdf and dowling:

This process was really beneficial due to the confirmation that reference is key to keeping everything as accurate as possible. This also informed my own project as I built quite a heavy library of reference images for creating my assets.
