A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away (before babies entered our lives... well actually 3 days after Charlie was born), Rick Rine posted a query about a router jig for rounding of wheels for toys.

Recently I made a table and chairs that used 24 rounded off wheels as feet:

In order to round off the wheels I made up the attached jig. The rear pillar is height adjustable to allow for wheels of different thicknesses. I used countersunk screws to hold the wheel onto the jig, so the problem is that for axle fitting there is a countersunk hole on each side. Anyway, it made getting through both sides of 24 wheels pretty easy.
