How to lay out and drill the spoke holes has been bugging me. This 49" rim is kind of awkward to lay out and drill? So I have been working over in my head how to do this. I decided that I would need a jig to hold it. I started out with a floor flange and a piece of 1/2" pipe that is about 6" long. I chucked it in my lathe and faced the bottom off flat. I then screwed that to a piece of scrap plywood that I had lying around. I centered the rim on my jig and screwed it down with some wood clamps that I knocked together. Here is a close up of my clamps. I'll lay out the holes tomorrow. |
