Hand Spinner, version 4

I’ve made some more hand spinners. This one is number four. One side is plywood, the other side is two layers of plexiglass

I took one sheet of white plexiglass, spray painted it black, then etched a circuit board pattern through the black paint. I then glued a layer of clear plexiglass on top, and glued the plywood piece to the back.

I sanded both sides to round the edges, and applied polyurethane to the wood side.

Finally, I glued in the center bearing. The other three are press-fit, and can be pushed back out if needed.

Later I found some rubber feet left over from another project, which happened to fit perfectly as caps for the bearing, making it easier to hold the spinner.

Recently, my Mom was given a handwritten postcard that my Grandmother had sent to an Aunt in 1955. The postcard had her handwritten, special fruitcake recipe on it. Bingo! I found something special...
