    Default How to make a wooden wagan wheel

    hi I am looking to make a wheel from wooden for a candy cart for my up and coming wedding

    I have been searching for plans and guides on how to make a wheel and cam across this website on google
    How to Make a Replica Wagon Wheel: 18 Steps (with Pictures)

    I have looked and thought the plans would be easy to follow

    but upon reading comments ( https://www.woodworkforums.com/f11/ma...wheels-155180/ ) this forum about the same plan, I was wondering if these wheels will be strong enough for the candy cart,

    it will be wheeled into place and left until the end of the wedding and then it will be wheeled out.

    if these wheels wont be strong enough can someone please point me in the correct direction in where to find sum sufficient plans to make these wheels

    I am no pro at woodworking but I am capable of completing a job to a good standard

    thanks in advance for any help

    These wheels are decorative only.
    Make your cart with legs and caster wheels, then fit the decorative wagon wheels over the legs. While the wheels may not turn when the cart is moved they will still look the part.

    Go with Handyjacks suggestion, proper wagon-wheels are held together with a metal rim, so unless you have a forge and wheelwright on hand, you might find it a tough job.
