# My journey building a custom wheel

This is my first post to start a series of articles detailing the engineering process behind my “little” project to turn a _Thrustmaster Open Wheel_ into a custom wheel with different functionalities. There are more advanced projects out there, but I would like to go into the small details and reason behind the little decisions I had to take in order to make this work.

**Disclaimer:** these articles are going to be full of facepalms, stupid design decisions and lot of learning. I’m a noob in many different fields along this project, so you are more than welcome to bring feedback through _Lbry_ platform videos and [channel](https://odysee.com/@LearningByMistakes:b).

The aim behind this is to share some knowledge, test how to use _web3_ tools like _Mirror_ and _Lbry_ platform and receive feedback about the mistakes I’m making or suggestions about improvements.

Also you may find some ideas, inspiration or maybe even some 3D printing designs that you could use in your personal projects.

I hope you enjoy going through the story and you get some learnings out of it.
