[KwartzLab] Making a spoked, wooden wheel

[Bob Jonkman]

Approximately here http://osm.org/go/ZXnfyYv--?m is the New Jerusalem 
Buggy Shop.

Don't know if they do steel wheel buggies or rubber wheel buggies. The 
steel wheel buggies have wooden wheels with a steel rim, the rubber 
wheel buggies have car wheels with rubber tires.

Wouldn't be surprised if there's even complete spinning wheels in them 
dar parts...
