Can anyone advise me of an easy way of building a very basic paddle wheel for an early paddle boat . maybe other items that could be used as a metal frame for the wheel itself , I’m thinking about 2ins in diameter. All help gratefully received,

Hello Peter

If it`s only 2" in dimeter……..Why not use plasticard and cut it all out with scissors?…or even cardboard with a wooden hub?….and well painted

Mine were 6" dia and I used 1mm plasticard……..works a treat!

Regards….Bob
