Getting ready for another big build that I have been wanting to try,
I woke up this morning with an idea for some wheels.
Those are Wheely good Graham :D

Thanks, I made a few things today so was pretty tyred after making the wheels ;)
After adding the tread I played about with a 160 weaving in and out, if the diamond weave over the wheel
had been wider or the wheel itself smaller it may have worked but this for me made it too messy from the side angle.
I then went onto version two, will post later.
They look great Graham. Don't leave them on the floor otherwise you will have to tread carefully or you will puncture them! :D
I don't think it looked quite right with the 160 weaved in and out of the diamond tread.
When trying version two it looked like the shape for a motorbike with back wheel, seat, tank and handlebars.
So this is how version two came out, I think more wheel like.
Wow. I love them.
Quote from: "Thelma Levett"Wow. I love them.
I was rather pleased with the way they came out as well.
Comparing the grey with the metallic.
The variations.
That combo looks fab.
Oh those are brilliant! Great detailing!
The last of the wheels. The metallic makes the wheel pop to me.
I made this wheel from an Idea from David, now David has told me I made it different from his design.
So will have to double check, I think it's more of a motorbike wheel than car.
A added a 160 to the inner circle and changed the position of the way it sat within the wheel.
Loving the wheels Graham :) I spotted them on Facebook and reinstalled tapatalk to pop over and take a look. Sorry not been around for such a long time - often think of you guys though for starting me off on this balloon addiction lol :) hope Lynne is keeping well :) x

We are both plodding along, as you do.
It's nice to see you back Sonia :) Perhaps see you at a balloon day sometime soon?
I agree with you Graham, the double stuffed silver look really pops out and makes the wheel look great.
Looking forward to seeing big build three! :D
Glad to hear it Graham :) I haven't done any days in about a year or so with you or anyone - couple of reasons first the business has grown a bit quicker than we thought and we have been running to keep up lol not that I am complaining :) 2nd my health continues to be a thorn in my side. Good news is I finally have a diagnosis 3 years later bad news is it's not really fixable although they have given me meds which may help if I can tolerate the side effects :) that all being said I will pop on to the website and have a look at what local ones you have coming up :) x

These are the wheels I built for the bike at the Blackpool magic convention 2018
Then when we came home I had another idea.
These are all Wheely good :)

I think you may have spent too much time around Danny Rob.
Version two of the wheel, it's the same but one side does not have the pinch
twists and we did the wheel in the chrome.
Wheels brilliant Graham.
I made the wheel during the week, another variation on a theme.
