Wooden Wheel Turning

341, Wooden Wheel Turning
Wooden wheels are light and work well on some small models. Many vintage designs use them. Laminate layers of balsa to the desired thickness, and glue a metal tube bushing through the center. Then, mount a machine screw with large washers on each side, and secure it with a nut and a locknut. Spin the balsa at medium speed in a drill and apply it to a sanding block.
