lol thanks eskimo, that's hard to show i do it just like a wheel wright would in a way if you have a lathe your better off than i was the frist 5 wagons i made i dident have one so i used my drill press to spin the hub i would drill with a hole saw and cut 1 1/4'' plug out of a 7/8'' board and glue 2 togather then run a 1/4'' all thread through it then spin it and use a rasp...but for the last year i have a lathe and that makes it way ez just need to learn to sharpen my tools i tryed to make the spoks on the lathe but it works better one at a time by hand the felloes i cut out on the band saw then use a sanding drum to clean them up and true.. you need to lay out your circle 6 and 5/8'' for the back and 5 and 1/4'' on the front then you need 7 felloes on the back wheel and 6 on the front lay out your wheel in i think 2 and 3/8'' on the back wheel and the same on the front this is in the ball park as they say i make a templet out of one felloe thats true, then cut a strait grean board most wheels or 1/4'' wide to 3/8'' or even 1/2'' make it 1 and 1/2'' wide then trace your felloe on that and cut them out.. there will be 14 spokes on the back and 12 on the front.. i hope this helps

A master at work. You're giving away all of your secrets Gary.
Great WIP, I'm sure you'll inspire a few others to have a go at coach building.... Steve
