I’m with Lew….. can’t imagine making those spoked wheels. The door on the back is a great touch as well.

the wheels are the best part of these projects. check out the old cars that I posted a couple of months ago. several special drilling jigs are needed to get them right for each size wheel and the jigs i make wear out with one of two sets of wheels. there are a dozen different operations to make them using drill press with fly cutter and forstner bits, band saw, mini lathe, and small belt sander. 5 wheels take about 10 hours if the drill jigs are ok.

Good job! From the slot on the top, I surmise that it’s a bank. Is that correct?
