Steps 2 and 3: Making the wheel template and cutting the wheel pieces
Step 2: Making the wheel template
First make a rotatable arm. Do this by cutting a strip of card or a thin piece of woodTimber, lumber. The hard fibrous lignified substance under the bark of trees about 3/8″ (10mm) wide by 6″ (150mm) long, which is slightly longer than the required radius.
Insert a push pin or small nailA short nail with a large flat head used for securing roofing felt, plasterboard, sheet metal to wood etc. through the arm 5″ (125mm) from one end. Pin the arm to a sheetAny broad, thin surface. of card.
Rotate the arm in a circle using the push pin/nail as the pivot point.
Hold a pencil at the end of the rotating arm to mark the circle.
Once marked, remove the arm and cut out the circle.
Step 3: Cutting the wheel pieces
To make the two wheels you will need 18 pieces of 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ (90 mmAbbreviation for millimeter which is a metric unit of length equal to one thousandth of a meter. 25.4 mm equals one inch. x 19 mm) wood that is 12″ (300mm) long.
