I was surprised by how smoothly things were moving along on the first wheel. Resisting the tempation to rush it took some doing. That's how well it had gone so far. Thank goodness I was working slowly! I was reassembling the wheel (I'll get into that in a later post with pics) when I noticed one of the spokes was split. I was gluing the last two pins into place and as I eased the pin in for a dry fit, the split showed itself. I finished what I had already started and placed it back into the retaining ring, then glued the split shut.
I'll have to go back and drill out the hole a little, then insert the last pin and finally the joining biscuit tomorrow after the glue on the rest of it sets for 24hrs. Still, I'm happy with the outcome so far.
