| If you are adventuresome you can use a hole cutter ( No not a forstner bit ) and a drill press and make them. Or you can go on line and do a search for wooden wheels. Hope your Christmas was good. DW |

| G'day Steve, I get mine from http://www.craftparts.com/mall/lobby.asp They are a little slow in posting, but the quality is good and the price is right even with the postage and dollar difference taken into account. They work out costing about 20% or less than the cheapest I can find in Oz. Hope you had a good one

| If you're going to be cutting a lot of wheels, Steve, it may be more economical for you to consider acquiring a router and making your own. It's not that difficult. Alternatively, if you have a drill press you should be able to cut them with a holesaw, presuming you can find a holesaw which is the right size. Hobbies of Dereham would be my first port of call in looking for manufactured wheels, but you will almost certainly find some in a Hobbycraft store too. Gill

| You could also use wooden balls as wheels, it depends on the design. You could cut a wooden curtain pole (or thick dowelling) into slices to make discs which could be used as wheels. |
