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. |

| Wonder what they taste like...chicken perhaps! If you believe in this I have a nice bridge for sale in Brooklyn:) |

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. |

The wheel rim sharp corners were then sanded by Dremel with 120 grit sanding bands on the Dremel 1/4" Drum Sander. Then I fine sanded everything with 320 grit paper by hand. |

The #59, 0.041" felloe holes in the wheel rim were then chased enlarged with a 1.5 mm (0.0565") bit, then a #50 - 0.0695" bit, then a 5/64" 0.0781" bit, and finally a 3/32" 0.0938" bit using a pin vise. I wish I had a drill bit between 5/64" and 3/32" - ie an 11/128" 0.0859" drill bit, which would have been a more perfect, tighter fit, for the 0.080" diameter spokes - next time ... |

The holes already drilled into the rim were from a 0.041" #59 drill bit and Pin Vise. Since the hardwood toothpic spokes are about 0.086" in diameter, I will now chase each one of these 16 holes up to 3/32" or 0.0938" holes for the spokes to have some "wiggle" room in order to attach into the hub holes yet to be made. |

This is the greater angle of "Felloe" hole through the wheel rim, for the other side of the wheel to provide a "deeper" dish. I used a smaller 4.4 mm spacer under the hub. In this way, the spokes should, I hope, attach to the hub at equal distances from the hub ends. |
| LASTWOODSMAN, Image # 37844 | 27 Jan 17 15:22 |
This will be an "Assymetrical Dish" 16 wooden spoke wheel. This is the shallower angle of the "Felloe" holes in the wheel rim to provide the "shallower" dish side of the wheel. I used an 8.6 mm spacer under the hub to raise the hub to the correct level, slid on the hub, sllid a 1/8 " location pressure holding support tube on top of the hub with a small square balsa pressure plate on top of that to make everything secure. |

The 16 spoke wooden wheel is "laid out." The aluminum sleeve bearing is sized and cut, and the Hub and Toothpic Spokes are stained and ready. Now the hard part - drilling the "Felloe" holes in the rim into the same line as the "Moritse" female end holes in the hub, to take the "Tenon" male end point of the toothpic. |

Katherine Stinson - "The Flying Schoolgirl" |
| LASTWOODSMAN, Image # 37832 | 26 Jan 17 11:24 |
REMEMBERING KATHERINE STINSON She was the first woman to fly air mail in the US, and in Canada, she was the first person, man or woman, to deliver mail between Calgary and Edmonton. She set many records - Dec 11, 1917 she flew 610 miles non-stop friom San Diego to San Francisco in a record 9 hrs and 10 min. She was always a supporter of the Women's Suffragette movement and equal rights for women. In 1917 she became a Red Cross Ambulance Driver in Europe, where she contracted Influenza in the waning months of WW1, which later turned into Tuberculosis in 1920 and she had to enter a Sanitarium. This also ended her glorious, short-lived flying career, as she was too frail to fly anymore. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-RL4Gu07J4 |
