I beveled each side a little and wound up with a slight crown. Pretty close to 10 degrees total, but I didn’t get a picture.

Then I grabbed some coarse sandpaper and a wooden block and sanded the edge of the wheel while it was spinning. This is my drive wheel basically finished. I need to varnish it and put a tire on.

Time to move on to the top wheel. I used a set of calipers to try to center the temporary pulley before I screwed it on.

Top wheel is almost done! This one went much faster. It’s birch plywood, I think, and cuts a lot easier than the luan plywood did. Remarkable the difference between the two.
