How to Make Wooden Wagon Wheels

Making Wooden Wagon Wheels

• 1

  Cut a piece of string slightly longer than half the desired diameter of your wheel.

• 2

  Tie one end of the string around a pencil and pin the other end of the string to your plywood with your finger.

• 3

  Pull the pencil until the string is taunt and trace a circle around your finger, this is the outline of your wooden wagon wheel.

• 4

  Drill a hole big enough for your jigsaw blade to fit through, just outside the outline for your wheel.

• 5

  Cut out your wooden wheel with your jigsaw and sand the rough edges. Remember to cut carefully, your wheel needs to be as close to perfectly round as possible.

• 6

  Locate the center of your wheel and drill a hole just big enough to fit a screw through it so that the wheel can be attached to your wagon.
