I made a MG TC with wire spoke wheels a way back in 2014 . If you go to scale modeling , page 3 , scroll down to MG TC 1947 Date 5/3/14 there are some photos of the jigs I used for the spoke wheels. Hope they help as they were a long and tedious job. John.

Sorry didn't read your title right and was going to comment on wood spoke wheels, and don't know how to delete the post. Sorry

Hi Hornpout
I'm new here and am just getting started so just trying to figure out how everything works.
I just tried to add a picture but something didn't work and no joy.
Here's some pictures of my experimenting with spoke wheels and if there's any interest will make a how to here.
This may have been covered many times here but nearly every post I go to that talks about them the pictures are gone and have no idea why other than I'm to new to be able to see them?
