14 inch Spoke WheelThis 14 inch wagon Wheel can be made with just a table saw, scroll saw, router and drill hub on the one pictured above was made on a small lathe. If you don t have a lathe,instructions for a simple hub you can make without a lathe are included. Traditional wagonwheels have a metal rim around the outer circumference, (called a tire). Plans for making a metaltire are not included. With a little imagination, you could make a metal band to wrap around itand it would look more be fully functional, the tire needs to be a slightly smaller diameter than the circumference ofthe Wheel . The old wheelwrights made the tires by bending strips of steel and welding them intoa circle. Then the tire was heated until it expanded enough to fit over the outer circumference ofthe Wheel . They would tap it into place around the Wheel and cool it with water. When cooled,the tire would contract around the Wheel which compressed it all together.
Optional Hub Page 3 For the optional hub, you need to cut five round disks with 5/8” center holes using your scroll saw. See Figure 1. The 1 ½” by 1 ½” disk is used to fill the hub cavity in the center of the wheel.
