    not exactly sure what you have in mind as far as hollowing into the cylinder, but am thinking that you need to have the wheels extend into the body from underneath..
    Best way to do that would be to use carving gouges to make the slot.

    good luck

    What about making a simple Bow Lathe ? I don't have time to locate references now but Google is your friend.

    I've used drill bits to hollow cylinders. Just this afternoon I used a 25 mm spade bit to crudely hollow out a vase I made on the lathe (no picture sorry). Drill bits can be used on hand (non-powered) drills. Hope this helps.
