Anyone out there build spoked wheels short of the way they used to, by
boring the felloes and hub on the press, then gluing up?
I just finished a spinning wheel for my daughter (we do the oddest things
for our kids!). You might want to use the technique I used on it.

Sounds like traditional wheelwright technique. My lathe has indexes for six
spokes, so that'd be the way I go. Six felloes, center bored.
Thanks, though you _do_ know that wagon wheels are made with a "belly," for
tracking, don't you? I watched Roy's show on wheelmaking twice.
