Eddie
if the hub is glued and the rim is glued how do you get the spokes in?
or do you glue each felloe onto the spokes after you have all them all in?
the scale model plans I am using show dowels being pushed all the way thru the glued up rim
however it does show a scaled sketch showing how to make more authentic spokes sort of hex shape...but doesnt tell how to get them in once the felloes are glued up and then router shaped to form the rim

Go to my jigs and it will show you how the spokes are fixed to the hubs by drilling holes around the hub in your case 14 holes drill a hole in the bottom of each spoke and use a tooth pick
for a dowel make a jig as shown glue each spoke into the hub while in the jig, they will then be in the correct position, carefully measure the internal measurement of the feloes then sand the spokes down as shown, you have to be careful while sanding them they are fragile,so just take it a bit at a time while turning the jig around when the feloes fit, glue up and check for running true,glue all the spokes in
first

thinking about the way you are going to make the wheel I don't think it will be very successful unles you do it on latheLast edited by TKO; 21st December 2012 at 11:58 PM. Reason: Just another thought

Making spokes
Hello TKO,
your jigs and process of making wheels is great, but, i am afraid that you missed a step. Do you have a jig or ease method of making spokes, and could you post them?
I am just about to start building Concorde Stagecoach and need all the help I can get. I am working from Ian Collins plans based on original 1820 Abbott & Downing design. I am trying to achieve museum quality model.
I was wondering if you have any jigs or construction methods for the rest of the coach (body or chassis). I would very much appreciate if you could pass them on.
Thanking you
John Labaj

Hi Peter been out of the wood work for the last 4 years restoring a car. just about finished but can't get the vent rubbers really sucks.
Hi Chubbs built, I will look out some pics that might help you on the wheels,but I don't know of any method to form spokes other than the tedeos way we all do and that is carve each one separatly.
Cheers Eddie

Hi, You need a lathe wood or metal both work with a chuck, going from left to right you can see how they are put together, but I always make the steel rims first, before I cut out the angled glued pieces for the fellies, have the rims press fit the moment I have trimmed the outer edges of the fellies as this makes sure that the cutter does not catch the wood when there is only a small area of wood exposed for the wood rim, thats a good safe guard I have broke pl,enty not using this method.If you need any thing with the wheels just ask.

Hi TKO, your attachments don't appear to have uploaded, can you please let me know if you received an error when you tried to add them to the post? I've checked the filesystem on the server and they're not there, unfortunately. I'll send you my email on PM so we don't clog up this thread with problem-solving.
thank you,
SteveSteve
