Hi
Thanks Carl, Don, Mal, Joe, and Dave
Its been a while since I posted anything cos it is the season of DIY
So much to do leaves little shop time. For the odd half hour I can swing here and there I have started on something that I can leave and go back to when time permits. I fancy wood wheels on the engine so thats what I'm having a go at. Never done this before but I have watched a bit of you tube and looked at a few web sites. These wheels will not be fuctional more cosmetic so I can cut a few corners.
Starting with a sketch for the larger rear wheels
Followed by preparing some wood, mahogany, to 1/2" square
This is for the rim. I need to cut 10 pieces with their ends cut to 18°. You can see on the drawing at about the 2 o/c position where I have marked out the piece each side of one of the spokes. The mahogany is a nice wood, knot free and rairly straight grained but it does fluff a bit so might not be suitable for this type of work. It will do to practice with. I have some oak that might be better.
Cheers
Rich
