looking for wheels

07-09-2005, 04:14 PM

I'm looking for someone who sells metal die-cast wheels, 3" in diameter with 12 spokes, which are typically used for making miniature Amish buggies. My local store no longer carries them, and the owner refuses to let me in on who his supplier was. Please help! Thanks.

Chuck34:

1st: Welcome to the board, it looks like this is your first post. I hope you enjoy you visits to this forum.

2nd: I did try to google for your request, which I presume you did also, but I couldn't come up with anything close to metal wheels for a scale model wagon.

Aside: I had no idea there were so many places that sold full size and 1/2 scale model 'western style' wooden wagon wheels for home decorating. It seems these wagon wheels are for hanging on the wall or making wooden deck safety rails out of.

3rd: I did find some wooden scale model wagon wheels, but they were about 1/2 inch less than your 3 inch size. (www.bearwood.com)

Sorry for being no help.

Beautiful piece! What a wonderful gift. How did you create the file for the floral boarder?

Like you I use my laser on certain projects to lightly burn the pattern on the wood. Especially on small stuff like tree slices....

Where do you get the patterns?
Are you using 1/8 solid wood with the poplar center? All 1/8" ?
When you tried BB did you stain different colors?

Have wanted to try these and see a lot selling?...

Great looking project and the happy couple will love it no doubt. Glad you caught and fixed your typo, even if it meant a little more work. 🙂

like you, I feel that there is nothing wrong in having and using various tools in the shop including a laser. As a matter of fact, like you, I...
