Step 6Fitting Spokes to Center Circles (Hubs)
if by now you are happy with your spokes, clap your hands because you may set them up on the center circle ( now known as a HUB ). Make sure you have marked all angles on the hub in pencil
Start with the long spoke and tack it in position with cabinet nails. ( I hate nails ).
Then position the shorter spokes as you did before. 90 degree ones first and tack in position.
Now the 45 degree spokes.
Check lengths from the centre as you may have to adjust for thickness of the 90 degree spokes. Placing one of the large rings on this assembly will help determine if adjustment is needed. If you need to, cut a bit off the inside end, or glue in a spacer to lengthen the spoke. Or open a beer.
