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.
