It’s a Wednesday, but in an unprecedented move, the DC Metro system decided to give me a day off. Thanks, guys!
I’m getting better at the amount of glue I use. I’m still deliberately using too much, but at least it’s not ridiculous any more. Here, I’m working on what will be the other wheel. I used layers of quarter inch birch plywood for this one. I don’t remember where this plywood came from, but it’s cleaner looking. I think I was more careful with the glue this time so I could keep the pretty wood pretty.

I double checked the plans, and my wheel blanks aren’t thick enough. So I glue another quarter inch of plywood to each one.

It’s spring break, and I’m back from college tours with the family.
I use a handheld saber saw to cut a rough wheel for the bandsaw. I cut it slightly oversized so I can fine tune it later on its axis.
There’s sawdust blocking the view, but check out that edge. Gluing these thin sheets of plywood really resulted in a nice end product. These wheels will be nice.
