| Gumby is placing the rim upon the jig. There are photos in the thread showing placement. I use surgical silk or Kevlar. Kevlar is stronger takes abuse in flight models. Silk more refined, very strong, great for display. Mono-filament fishing line is another alternative. I am about to get Gumby to work. Prediction here is for mid 60 degree weather, I may have to take Nunzio out for a walk about:-)) |

| I suffer from confusion here which is a normal condition for me. I don't see the rim on the jig. I do like very much that hub with the domed end pieces and why the choice of Kevlar? |

| I hear you about the hand crank drill. I have one and started using it when I started modeling. Then, one day, the battery screwdriver was gazing up at me, from the bench. I had an epiphany, why not used your never hardly used screw driver as a drill! Now the hand crank drill hangs about observing, but I am sure, one day, he will be called into duty! |

| I use a Dremel but I also have a small handbcrank drill for this type of work. Nice alignment set-up John. |

| I did not have to fabricate the jig as it was scrap from my last set of AerdromeRC wheels. Because they are no longer in business, I am patching together a bit of this and a tad of that to be able to make spoke wheels on demand. Fortunately I did not discard this jig, and it accommodates the diameter that Ogre requires. There are a number of ways to fabricate wheels. I used one method years back to make spoke wheels on a Camel. They had wire spokes with plastic pipe rims. My wheels since have had wooden laminate rims. Ogre's wheels will be somewhat of a hybrid incorporating a few ideas into one |

| Where to buy this model kit, Royal Aircraft Factory ManzanoLaser BE12?
What is the price of this set? I really like it. |

| I wish I did. The only shop class I ever had was 6 th grade wood shop and I still have the cutting board to prove it😃 BTW the battery screwdriver is one of my most versatile and useful tools. Works slowly, safely. Used almost always as a modeling drill😄 |
| John M Oshust, Comment for image # 31083 | 10 Mar 14 16:29 |
| The rim alone, 5.5 cm, completed wheel with tire, 6.5 cm😄 |
