Step 10Creating Infill Sections
Infill sections you will make from 3mm plywood. It is advisable to use a flexible ruler to measure the length of th outer circle from spoke to spoke inside.( I borrowed my daudghter's).
These sections are vitually strips of plywood cut to the same width as the spokes.
To curve them, simply score them at regular intervals to a depth NO GREATER THAN HALFWAY as shown in the photo. The closer together the scorings are, the smoother the curve will be.
Adjustable clamps are very desirable at this point. These infill sections should have their nice side to the outside - the scoring done on the inside.
The infill sections for the inner diameter are formed in a similar manner. But I found it desirable to make a few extra scores/cuts because the curve is somewhat tighter
