PHOTOS OF MAKING MODEL BIG WHEEL










FERRIS WHEELS

We have been very busy in Giant's Causeway Base making Ferris wheels out of wood.  First, we made two wheel that had six spokes each. Next the wheels were attached together with an axle through the middle. We made a rectangular base with triangular sides.
The wheels needed to turn around freely and have seats hanging down. If this was done, we made a pulley system to turn the wheel round.
