Don..I can see your problem now ... cant read a thing ..except the numbers are the same . I suppose thats why I have to ask for Number 65 when I want fried rice from the carryout shop ?

Its taken me 6 hours for one and a half wheels so far .. but you can see why I dont waste time on the jig. You would do yours quicker if you cut the 40 spokes at one time ..instead of individually .. they should be the same length

Pic shows mine with 10 holes and V shaped spokes. The sequence is spoke 1 in rim hole 1(gotta watch how I saw that) and other end in hole 7... spoke 2 in rim hole 3 and other end in 9 and so on till all holes are filled. Four of the hours were spent working out the sequence two for making them. Sorry for going off topic... I use solder

Tyre will be made from 5/8" brake hose for HGV's its hollow so not as heavy as O rings
