Thanks, Bruce. I dabble in woodworking, but have never made wooden toys. I have a couple of young mothers with their young kids who drop by my garage almost daily to say "hi" and to see what I'm making, so I was looking for a way to make wooden wheels to make toy cars for them. Your jig idea has inspired me very much, so I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Cheers!
Excellent works of wood, they are really a source of inspiration for those of us who have assumed teaching work as something important, but also fun. Working with wood as well as being relaxing is an opportunity to teach any area of knowledge, be it mathematics or any other area of science. I work in a small school (Escuela Integral para los Artes Niños Cantores de los Llanos) in the south of Venezuela, where we have taken on the challenge of teaching under a premise: Art, a way to build knowledge and build values. So thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn with your wonderful samples and that allow us to expand the cognitive horizon. Thank you
My husband makes wheels like these, he has a jig for the table saw, 15degree angle in the left miter gauge slot same in the right slot. It is a plywood jig with an index mark for the slots. The band saw looks great but the slots are too thin.
So why don't you bevel the wooden wheel sides first then cut the grooves. A template with grooves already cut could be taped onto your already sanded wheel and placed on the rod on the jig. Hope this makes sense to you love the channel.
The trick is to do what you did on the table saw with a full width wheel. Then, when you have them all cut simple cut the wheel down the middle on the band saw, flip the pieces I’ve and glue back together. Tracks match up perfectly and for an exact match.
Wonderful! I used this technique for my wheels and find it curious that I used the exact same angles as you chose even though I am watching this a year after I built mine. You are welcome to check out my mining truck video to see them. Just search for S.G. Devries or The BIG truck. Nice work.
Sorry. I don't have plans. They don't need that sort of precision. just pick you own angle for the wedge shape and follow the process in the video. Cheers
Nothing wrong with your method, slow and steady wins the race
Hi Bruce, thanks for sharing, much appreciated, cheers from Tinonee NSW
Brilliant idea for tyres. Glad I found your channel. I have 7 grandkids with 2 boys out of that lot, so they will enjoy my endeavours. 👍🇦🇺

Best of luck with it Trevor. Great fun seeing the kids enjoy home made toys.
You are brilliant mate love watching your vids keep it up mate.

Thank you for your words.

I thank you kind sir for this great demonstration!
very pleasant man, and a very beautifully done video. thank you for sharing your experience. i appreciate the result of your effort.

Thank you so much. Great demonstration and ideas.
The bandsawtip is really great! Wish I had a lathe to make it easier to clean up the wheels!
Check out my Mini lathe video, Jolien. Can be made from and old drill. I like your toy series.
Hey yeah I've already seen that one. But I don't know if my drill could handle it. Maybe it will be overheated?
Very little load on the drill. Shouldn't be a drama. :)
Okay, maybe I just need to try it out!
Muito bom, parabéns!! (I`m from Brazil)!

Very useful technique. Thanks for this tutorial. I just subscribed.
You look like Paul Hogan ! Are you catching crocodiles by hand like him 😂 thank you very much for the videos and explanation !
👀👍
You're very good, thanks for sharing
Nice work! Would you share the angle of the jig you made for your bandsaw to make the cuts in the tires?
G'day Martin. The angle is about 20 degrees. I really just picked something that looked reasonable. Cheers, Bruce.
Criatividade fantástica!!!

Yep. Bloody terrific idea.
Great work. Don't stress everyone has their own way. We collaborate together.

Nice job!
Need to make a video of your men shed set up and your hand made filming apparatus!
Thanks - that was great
Thank you so much
Private first class
is there a way I might ask for the plans for the jigs
Sorry. I don't have plans. They don't need that sort of precision. just pick you own angle for the wedge shape and follow the process in the video. Cheers
Exelent
Thanks ,,👍🤗🤩
will be trying this
Perfecto Amigo
Thank you
Good👍
Please, I thank you for apologizing my writing in English. I think I better write in Spanish. regards
