Shopping Tips - Making Axles for Wooden Wheels: 1) How to choose axles for wooden wheels: For a spin fit, choose an axle just a bit smaller than the hole diameter of your chosen wheel. (Glue the axle to your frame.) OR - 2) Prefer to make your own wooden axles? Scroll below for axle caps and hardwood dowels in 12" lengths - You can choose dowels that have a snug fit in the hole (so that the wheels will not spin independently) or dowels just under the hole size, for free spinning wheels. The choice is yours.
Most axle pegs, caps and dowels are sold in quantities of 10, 25 or 100 for the prices shown - buy more packages to save more!
