The
20 page Guild magazine is appropriately called - "WHEEL WRITES", and is published about three
times a year and contains reports from our shows, guild news
and specialist technical articles which include hints and tips
on many aspects of constructing a detailed model, be it a farm
wagon or cart, a carriage, a bakers van or a cowboys "Chuck" wagon,
etc,. There are tips on soldering, making miniature chain
and scale nuts and bolts. Members have various ways of making
wheels,
and there are even methods of making very acceptable wheels
without the use of a woodturning lathe!
