Default Plans for Home Made Arrow Spinner?

Has anyone made their own arrow spinner? If so, what kind of materials did you use, what were the dimensions, etc. How's it working for you? I'd like to find the simplest working DIY design and maybe make one. Its supposed to rain here all weekend, might not have much time on stand. I have to do something hunting related or I'll drive my wife insane.

And some of the basic ones can be but for literally nothing at all. I know that Pine Ridge Archery makes a very simple but effective arrow spinner. The cost is under $15 if I remember correctly.

If I were to make one all it would take is some ply wood, four screws and four wheel bearings from skates or a skateboard.

Plywood...... 1 piece cut 3" X 12" and two pieces cut 3" by 3".

Screw and/ or glue the small pieces to the long piece at the two ends. Cut a notch on the top of the 3x3 pieces and screw the bearings so that they portrude into the notch and the arrow can spin on them.

Forgot to add that you would also want a small washer between the bearings and wood so that the bearings spin freely and don't rub on the ply wood.

Nice plans bigbulls and Bobco, cabinet rollers seem like a good idea. With this endless rain and 30-35 MPH winds predicted for today, I just might have to hit home depot in search of materials... Of course like the rain, the honey do list has no end in sight either.
