    lorn S, That sounds like a simple job for a woodturner. Don't you know any wood turners or have a wood turning club nearby? Are they just flat discs or are they shaped to look like real wheels?, Also saying what you want them made out of will help. have you tried asking on the UK workshop forum in the turning section, http://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/forums/index.php If you where closer to me (NG20) then I could probably help you but postage would be a killer. happy scrolling Steve

    Here's my cutting of Amy's horse from Russell's (Birchbark) pattern, thanks again for the pattern. It's 10" x 8" 1/8th ply, with white card behind just for the photo, finished with Danish oil. Cut on a Hobbies A1 treadle fretsaw using Olson 2/0 crown tooth blades in just under 3 hrs. As usual apologies for the photo, using the phone again. happy scrolling Steve

    When British Coal closed the mine in '93 I needed a hobby so I took up woodturning, then at a wood turning show in '95 I saw and bought a Delta 40-560 and now share my time between the two. happy scrolling Steve

    Well done Frank. Having seen this in the flesh I don't think the photos do it justice, tried to slip away with it but being 4ft long it wouldn't fit in my pocket . happy scrolling Steve

    Docupton, nice to meet you too and Robert, it's a pity you didn't post this before Sunday as I was down your way on Sunday to the National Forest wood fair at Beacon Hill Park and we could have really met up. happy scrolling Steve

    I've had a Delta 40 560 type 2, 2 speed for about 15 years and have never used it on the slow speed, it just runs flat out with little vibration. The only problem is that the machines or spares are no longer available over here in the UK.
