This water wheel design is an easy to construct water wheel made from everyday lumber. We needed to get going on making the old west mining town water wheel, tower, and sluice system. We knew that a water wheel was a fun working prop that kids would enjoy looking at and listening to while they panned for gold. This how to shares how we built and fabricated our version of an old western mining water wheel. This realistic working prop can be mounted like we have done, or on the side of an old mill, over a nice water feature in your backyard, over a pond, or water garden. We plan on making a similar one for our home haunt this year to go in our old western haunted ghost town. The water wheel is constructed of 2" X 4," 2" x 6," and 2" x 12," wood framing. I glued and screwed everything together using biscuit joints and 3" deck screws. I then cut mitered pieces of fence boards or panels and used them as my water wheel fins to catch the water. The wheel edges were sanded and rounded over using a 3/8" round over bit on my router. We caulked all the corners and seams to help direct all the water to run off the paddles as it turned and spun. To finish the wheel I burned the wood with a torch to help the wood grain pop. Then Jeana added all the finishing touches by painting and ageing. We did seal it really well with a clear water Thompson's sealer. I used pillow block bearings and an aluminum axle to mount the wheel to its a frame stand. The bearings ended up working so well I had to add a pressure block with marine grease over the axle to help slow it down a bit.
