A Spinning Wheel is an important machine to have in your LEGO Fortnite village. It can make a big difference to your exploration, too, as you can use the Spinning Wheel to construct a Recurve Crossbow to take down enemies from a safe distance. Here are the steps to unlock the Spinning Wheel in LEGO Fortnite.

To unlock the Spinning Wheel in LEGO Fortnite, you first need to build a Crafting Bench and a Lumber Mill. A Crafting Bench is mandatory as you need basic tools (an Axe, Pickaxe, and Shortsword) to gather the raw materials. You also need a Lumber Mill to refine your Wood into Planks and Wooden Rods.

Gathering Wood for Planks and Wooden Rods is simple, as you only need basic trees that are found in abundance across the Grasslands. Getting a Wolf Claw is a tougher task, however, as you’ll need to fight and defeat several Wolves.

To make killing Wolves easier, I highly recommend getting another villager to follow you, as they can help distract the Wolf and inflict further damage.

Once you have gathered the required materials, you can craft a Spinning Wheel in your build menu. To construct it, you need the following:

  • 8x Planks
  • 5x Wooden Rods
  • 5x Wood
  • 5x Wolf Claw

In total, you need to gather 18 Wood and defeat five Wolves for Wolf Claws to make the Spinning Wheel. With it unlocked, you can craft Silk Fabric and Wool Fabric, which you can then use in a Loom to make thread.
