Here's an 1896 Ford Quadricycle I made. The wheels required drilling 136 holes for the spokes.IMG_20200113_161445_hdr.jpgIMG_20200113_161455_hdr.jpgIMG_20200113_161429_hdr.jpg

can't wait to see it with the body installed !! Ha Ha. Nice work! Please tell us the size of it
That's awesome! Can't tell from the low res pics, how did you assemble the wheels? That's a lot of spokes!
Please help support the Creek.

That scale is too small for my old eyes to produce! Well done Sir!

So much to learn, so little time.....
The wheels took a lot of time,after cutting out the wheels on my scroll saw I drilled 34 holes around the circumference of each wheel and after making a jig, I put one end of the spoke ( a toothpick) in the hole and glued each of the spokes individually to a center hub.
The car is about 10" long , 6 " wide and 6" high
