Thank you for your answer, I understand from watching the video again that the part which goes into the chuck is where the screw head was. This method saves a lot of time. Thank you again Paul.
I sand my wheels on a stationary belt sander. I put a smaller dowel through the hole on the wheel so it can free wheel. I can put a few wheels on at once, but can't round them over, so do that part one at a time. I like that you don't have a nut under the wheel, so it is faster to change them. I will try that. I like the forstner bit idea too, thanks.
Hi Paul :-D This is the first video of yours that I have viewed. Liked & subbed :-D TYVM for presenting such a thorough video. I am new to woodworking, and I learned a whole lot. I will be *binge-watching* to catch up.
Hi Kathleen, welcome to woodworking. I normally do it in the winter because my shop is in the basement. If you have any video ideas that you want me to do please let me know. Enjoy and be safe.
Great video. I did it exactly the same and I have a question... The wheel have an end grain zone, so when I sand it, it leaves some fibers and if I keep sanding to eliminate these fibers, they fell leaving small holes. Do you have a tip to avoid this problem? Thanks un Advance.

Sure you can. Try to clamp the drill down so you can use both hands to work and it will also keep it from wobbling so they will be nice and round. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for a wonderfully informative video. I have been making wheels like this for many years but I have always have trouble with the end grain on the wheels when I make them from pine or any soft wood. I can never get it smooth enough. How do you get over this problem?
Hi Clive, This is something that I have never been able to get absolutely perfect. The closest I can get is to take a wet rag and dampen the wooden wheel while still on the drill press. This makes the end grain fibers stand up, I then hold fine sandpaper (320) against it. The fine sandpaper won't change the wheels any but makes them really smooth thus the end grain is not as dark when finishing. Hope this helps.
The hole saw in the video was 2-1/8" but that denotes the outside diameter. The wheels are cut from the inside diameter which would end up being a little less than 2" when complete. Thanks for watching.
The wheels are not very big about 1.25 straight cross and about .75 thick, the one wheel I do have part of it is missing. I was wondering if that kind drill bit would work if I got strong wooden like oak or some thing
Brilliant good job Paul easy to do I think . Many thanks mate
Very cool. Nice and simple way to make wooden wheels. The sanding worked great! Good tutorial.

Great idea! I'm glad I watched this so I can know the best way to make my own wheels. Thanks for sharing this.
Great video. I really like your method of making wooden wheels. Such a simple yet great solution. Paul
pcorlis Thanks Paul, there is something nice about making it instead of buying it. Plus it uses up all the scraps. Thanks for watching.
Some good ideas Paul, thanks for sharing them.
Thanks for sharing, it helped me a lot
Very helpful.🇬🇧👍
Thanks Paul, good tip on mounting the wheels to the drill press for sanding 👍
Thanks for watching.
Thank you . Very well explained
Hi Paul, thanks very much for that video, informative and straight to the point.
I wish more people would make videos as you do

Hello! It turned out very cool.
Do you also make Wooden Axle Pegs Long Wood yourself? We don't have them in Russia. How do you make them?
Your way is my way. Thanks!

Thanks Paul
Thank you dear Sir!!! 😊
Love it!
Well done...
what wood?
This is great.. i came across it bc i wanna make some wooden baby toys... can i use a regular drill? I dont have a drill press.
Sure you can. Try to clamp the drill down so you can use both hands to work and it will also keep it from wobbling so they will be nice and round. Thanks for watching.
this is the same way that I have been making wooden wheels for years and I need to make some more because i`m out of them LOL.
&5 years old and a children toy maker, and I make outdoor items. I make garden carts and like items. I'll also make some benches
opps thats 75
If you use a sharp object on the sides when the wood wheel is on the drill you can create a tire tred....

Thanks Paul, I never thought of wetting the wheel while on the drill. I will try it and see how it works. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks for the videoo Paul, I have a question, how come the wheel doesn´t come off when sanding it if it doesn´t have a nut underneath ?
The threaded rod in the drill is turning the in the direction that forces the wheel up and is stopped against the nut at the top.
What size hole saw did you use ?
The hole saw in the video was 2-1/8" but that denotes the outside diameter. The wheels are cut from the inside diameter which would end up being a little less than 2" when complete. Thanks for watching.
Good nice
A hack saw works well
Have you ever made wheel that could be use on cast iron bed 🛌 that way
Nope, but I wonder if a hockey puck would work.
The wheels are not very big about 1.25 straight cross and about .75 thick, the one wheel I do have part of it is missing. I was wondering if that kind drill bit would work if I got strong wooden like oak or some thing
It would be a good thing to try, perhaps use a hard maple as it is denser than oak. Let me know how it works.
Simple tools....
