I have a lot of 2 3/8" x 3/4" Baltic Birch "wheels". Any ideas as what to make with them? Yes I know what I can do with them in some respects! Thanks

Are these from a hole saw with a 1/4" pilot hole in the middle?

I have actually used them as wheels for 'floor drawers' in my shop. Rather than stoop down to access something on the floor level under some shelves against a wall, I just roll out the bottom shelf. Four 1/4" 1/4-20 bolts through the side and Bob's your uncle!

Wheels, as mentioned, big spool clamps. You could glue several in a stack for quirky turning projects.

No Dave. just a round "wheel" with no axle hole. Thanks for the feedback.

1: Drill a hole in the center for router bit holders.

2: Drill a hole deep enough to put a rare earth magnet in, and a couple holes on the rim for magnetic pencil holders.

3: Make a carom type game for kids.

4: Hang string and a few lengths of EMT and make wind chimes.

5: HD wheels for the rear of heavy shop drawers.

I do have several pieces of EMT in my shed to try. I am probably tone deaf, but I can make noise for the neighbors!
Thanks all for the help!

Henry Ford invented Kingsford briquettes to use up his scrap wood.
