This is my third time making these spoke wheels.
I feel like I did a better job last time being bigger they show off the spokes better, but hey got to keep trying new things.
I already had some tire blanks made up, when the tools set up it pays to make more.
So drilled out the centers and made some walnut rim blanks.
See the rims with the centers cut out where the spokes will go I did this on the drill press with my Harbor Freight hole saw set.
I figured out what I needed between the rim and axle post and just kept using the different sized hole saw bits till I had it all cut out,
then just a little scraping with a wood chisel to smooth out the bottom and it’s made. No lathe work for these wheels. lol
One more tip don’t drill all the way through leave a 1/8” to hold it all together till the spokes are drilled and glued up.
Been needing a way to speed up the making of the blanks so built a jig that holds the blank to the pattern so every thing goes much faster and gets it right.
Fast foreword and the spokes are drilled and glued in, you need to check out my last spoke how to to see how it’s done.
The lighter wheels are the extras from my last spoke build.
Took the rims to the drum sander and sanded to fit the tires.
Then I could mount them and see how the fenders needed to fit.
I know some of the pictures you've already seen as I put them up yesterday for you all but not the Lumber Jocks site .
So this is what I posted today over there and it's just to easy to copy and paste it over here then redo it.
This is a car from Dutchy's web site.
I just want to add that the car is from plans on Dutchy's web site.An Index Of My Model making Blogs on Lumber Jocks.
