document.write('Although not being a turning project or a segmented project it had both of these disciplines involved in it. Bearing in mind it was only going to be a garden ornament I thought I would try and remake it.');
document.write('As you can see from the second photo, when trying to dismantle it, it did not need a large hammer. The hub was turned out of oak. For the spokes I had to make up a jig for tapering on the bench saw.');
document.write('The six segments of the wheel proper were bevelled, temporarily fitted to a piece of plywood and then sawn on the bandsaw with another jig I had to make.');
document.write('<div class="padv10"></div>');
document.write('Having done the outside of the wheel I then had to remove one of the segments to complete the inside diameter, and then routed it round on the inside with a rounding over bit. Then with the help of my wife and friend');
document.write(', blow lamps in hand, we heated the iron tyre, at this point we needed a big hammer. See finished article.  I would not trust this on a cart, but for the garden it does not look too bad. A lot of hard work, but an interesting project none the less.');
