Traditional wheel is a circle of 3/4in tube about 12in diameter with welded spokes in about 10mm rod. Painted and tape wrapped.
An interesting bending exercise.
Sophisticated is an alloy sheet cutout wheel and spokes with wood glued and rivetted to the rim - then turned to a nice profile.
I'm sure you're capable of either.
Upholstery ? The kid will sit on bare plywood - and love it.
Fuck it I think I am going to run out of sandpaper today. I am down to using the brown Norton shit for metal and because its so stiff it does not last. and I've only 120 or 240 for the detail sander and not much of either of those.

Lol! My missus goes to Arthurs emporium and buys one of those sandpaper selection packs for $2 or so. Which is about $2 more than it's worth. Sand and paper I call it and I think I am on the money. Swipe swipe and you have a smooth clean piece of paper and a small scattering of sand. And no results.

Between wifey and me we have a wide range off sanding impliments from two industrial belt sanders to a portable mouse sander, Also lots of sanding belts and sand paper(Nolan/3M). I normally just use her cast offs as there is usually plenty of life laft in them for what I want to do.. Even reuse broken p0wer file and belt sander belts which have come apart or only part worn.
