Bikepro rim table1/7/2024 After drilling, insert a t-nut in each hole and hammer it in until it sits flat on the base. The hole needs to be appropriately sized to fit the center part of the t-nut. Measure how far apart the lug nut holes are on your wheels and mark that same spacing on the lines you just drew. Make two lines at a 90 degree angle to each other on the bottom of the base that intersect at the screw hole in the center. I'll let you figure all that out since mine only had 4 lugs. This will be considerably more difficult if you have 5 lug wheels as you will need to draw more lines at odd angles. When was the last time you saw a piece of furniture that was painted on the bottom anyways? I was running out of paint because I didn't start with a full can, also it would make it hard to see marks you'll be making to align holes for the allthread and the casters. I painted the top and the sides but left the bottom unpainted for several reasons. Paint the base flat black (pictures didn't turn out) so you don't see it when you look down through the wheel and let it dry overnight. After cutting it out I sanded the edge to remove any splinters. Now the saw will pivot around the screw as you cut a perfect circle without worrying about following a line. With the saw blade sitting tight against the edge of the plywood put a screw through the jig and into the plywood. I measured 9" from the blade and drilled a hole just a hair bigger than a wood screw. Then I screwed a piece of wood to the foot at a 90 degree angle to the blade and made a hole in it for the blade to go through. I took the foot off of my jigsaw and drilled a hole in it on each side of the blade. You could probably just draw a cicle and cut it out but I've never had real good luck cutting a smooth circle so I made a jig of sorts. You need a plywood circle that fits inside the outer lip of the wheel.
