The wheel was the first part I built for
the boat. I felt if I could build a wheel I could probably do the rest
of the boat, besides I might as well have something I can hang on the wall
and say "This is my boat, I've just got to finish a few things around it."
I used the pattern for the wheel with 4/4
mahogany. I bisketed the 6 center joints and the 12 outside
joints. I used a 3/8" roundoff bit with the router that I purchased to
build the boat. This left a interesting 1/8" ring around the wheel and
in the center that I left.
Here you can see it being epoxy coated.To
keep the wheel higher than the sheetrock during curing I stuck 3 screws
through. |
