The tea wagon wheel presents no new problem from those having to do with segment and spindle work except in the making of the hub. From Plate XXXV it will be seen that the hub is turned in two pieces. This is done for the reason that the spokes can be set in the rim, the lower portion of the hub set in place and the upper part fitted over that to make a complete wheel.

Plate XXXV.

After the rim has been built up of segments and turned, holes are bored on the inside for the spokes; the hub is now clamped together in a vise, and holes to receive spokes bored in it. After this has been done it is taken apart and the entire mass glued together. Great care, however, must be taken in gluing this problem to block up the spokes and rim from the under side to come level with the hub so that the spokes can be brought in line.
