Donnie, the jig was a snap to make thanks to Reg's photos of the jig he uses for his threaded wheels. Plus being adjustable I can use it again and again for different size rims. Actually, I'm realizing more and more that it's theses non-tool tools that seem to be the most vital. Making jigs seems to be an artform in its own right!

And you're right about the cost. Now maybe I can actually afford to build the model the wheels will be attached to!
