![]() 323 forum posts 35 photos | Brian - Thanks. I've used Hobby's before, good firm. I'll get my plans there once I've decided what scale I want. Bernard - There used to be a Guild of Model Wheelwrights, but they appear to have folded in 2018.

It also contains some useful information on some of the construction especially the wheel type and how to make them. Mine is made from Oak and the mortice and tenons are all cut. The mortices are just big enought to be able to file them out with a flat needle file
