As it happens, I can read a bit of French, but I'm afraid that site
deals with the making of real carriage wheels with tuned spokes strong
enough to rumble down a dirt road somewhere. In community theater, they
hold to the "30 foot rule": If it looks good from 30 feet away, it's
good enough. Now in this case the wheels will have to safely carry 2
people a few feet on a smooth floor, but that's all that will be asked
of them from a practical standpoint.


Plywood cut out (make a router pattern and half rounds attached
audience side) some threaded rod for an axle through a 2x4, bushings
would be a good idea.
