Exclamation Wheels

Finally after catching up with all my other "stuff", I am getting back to continued building.


So lets make the wheels for all three Yaks,

I used a circle cutter on card stock and cut out multiple circles

Stack the disks to width and glue to each other.

Drill a hole in the center, mount on my mini lathe and using sanding sticks, sand the wheels to shape.

Here are all 3 sets

ready for painting by inserting a squashed tooth pick to be used as a spindle and then paint them all

glue the hubs in place.

and all three sets of wheels.

A note:
this is my preferred method of making wheels, and there are others
