The slices of masking tape are cut off - the spokes will now enter into the balsa of the hub, right beside the masking tape. At left is the finished old 12 spoke wheel, and at the right is the new 16 spoke hole rim for comparison.

I then put the hub and wheel rim and spokes back into the wheel jig to check the allignment and attachment locations. I had to cut off a thin strip of the masking tape, so that the spokes would enter the balsa, not the tape.

I finalized the dashes with a Sharpie again to make sure they were straight with each other.

I then stuck the hub onto the Master Circle layout to mark the rest of the dashes for the spoke attach points. I would like to thank my three great inspiring Math Teachers in High School - Mr. Swintak, Mr. Balkwill, and overbearing Mr. Gallie (my pet peeve in Gr. 13) who made darn sure you knew your stuff! - OH! the homework ...

I then placed the hub in the middle of a small 3/64" drill bit, and blocked up the drill bit ends, and the hub, with little blocks of balsa, and marked two even dash mark locations in black Sharpie Marker, onto the green masking tape templates.

The two green masking tape templates were then stuck on the wheel hub ends.

The green masking tape templates were then cut out with little curved cuticle scissors, and the two masking tape pieces will be used to mark the little dashes every 22.5 degrees onto the masking tape for the 16 spokes.

The curved cuts on the two printer paper templates were made to match the contour of the hub. The two finalized paper templates were then scotch-taped onto a piece of green marking tape.

I cut and recut two templates out of printer paper to use to locate the dashed spoke hole gradient location marks on the wheel hub. Here they are held in place by two tweezers to check the fit to the hub.

Several Pterodactyls were shot during the Civil War in the United States. The giant Thunderbird also still llives in the United States.

This Civil War Pterodactyl proves their existence. The Wright Brothers and Glenn Curtiss both studied animal flight. Russian scientists have studied this photo and found it to be authentic!

Now i have to "lay out", and make, the Mortise hole locations on the hub, where the toothpic spokes are inserted.
