Made a table to make the wheels on. Cut out the center and fixed a short axle to hold the hub in the center and so I can use a locking collier to adjust the hub height for the dish in the wheel.

Jigs for cutting the angels on the spoke ends.

Had to turn the hubs in the lathe for the spokes. the spokes are so close together at the hub I just cut out the center and going to use shims/ wages with epoxy in the hubs between the spokes. Had to do some fine triming on the fellows with the jig set up to get them to fit just right. What a PITA that was.

Wrapped the tire around the wheel and clamped it in place to find were I need to cut it a 1/2" short so it will shrink fit on the wheel. cut a V shape and filled in the V with weld then cleaned up the weld

Heated up the tire with a ROSE BUD tip in tell it was real hot. Hot enough to just scorch the wood but not red hot. that expanded it enough so that can be beat down around the wheel and when it cools it shrinks on tite. one tire went on eazy the other one I had to beat the crap out of it to get on but it came out nice.[ like my safety shoes?and I did pick up the hose off the rim and held it off wile heating.]
