From an idea to Game Day. 🍻🏈

We designed and built this custom Gamewheel from scratch for Barry’s — combining CNC fabrication, custom lighting, electronics, programming and a whole lot of engineering into one massive interactive experience.

But the best part isn’t the technology or how it was built.

It’s watching people actually use it.

Built in Washington. Delivered to Nebraska. Made for Game Day at Barry’s.

This is the kind of project we love — taking an idea and turning it into something people want to interact with, photograph and remember.

Bars, brands, events and experiential activations — what should we build next? 👀

Well… the secret’s out. 😂

Yes, we’re building a shot wheel for @barrysbarandgrill .

But apparently we don’t know how to do anything small.

The finished version is coming soon. 👀🍻🏈

We’ve been keeping this one under wraps. 👀

For the past several months, we’ve been designing and building one of our most ambitious custom projects yet. Combining CNC fabrication, electronics, lighting, programming, and a whole lot of problem solving into one interactive experience.

It’s almost time to see it come to life.

And it’s headed to @barrysbarandgrill in time for Nebraska football season. 🏈

Any guesses what we’ve been building?

I made these walnut boxes for a 20 piece chocolate truffle assortment of Brugge Chocolates. They are the perfect gift idea for someone who loves handcrafted, locally made items.

From concept to center stage at RSA 2025 🎯 The game wheel we crafted became a highlight at the Moscone Center! Huge shout out to @dadityourselfdiy for embarking on another build with me. Thank you to the Cloud Security Alliance for the partnership and to everyone who stopped by to give it a spin. Here’s to building more interactive experiences that blend craftsmanship with innovation. #WoodworkAndWeld #RSAC2025”

Were you at RSA this year? Drop a comment if you saw the wheel in action — or let us know what kind of interactive build you’d love to see next!!

For those interested, here are all bunch of the parts used. The rails are all Unistrut with compatible hardware. I used double/stacked Unistrut for the gantry. The side rails were 20ft sticks that I cut down as I didn’t want any seams to contend with. by @woodworkandweld

A bridge crane in my garage is finally a reality! Now I can effortlessly move sheet goods from my lumber rack to the CNC by myself. My inspiration came from YT videos from Izzy Swan and 1D10CRACY. I also upgraded the garage door opener to a side mount at the same time to allow the space for everything to fit. The new opener is so smooth and quiet compared to a standard style. Well worth the investment if you need overhead space.
