Here is a quick picture to demonstrate another idea for an easy alternative to lathe use when making a rim. Any size rim with any wall thickness can be created this way. Each segment is precut to the desired OD and ID plus a little extra for sanding purposes. The first segment ends are sanded and it is glued to a plywood disk whose outer edge has been sanded to the desired finished O.D. Each additional segment has both ends sanded prior to adding it to the rim. The mating end is additionally sanded to form a more or less perfect joint when it is added to the previous segment. The salt shaker is used to sprinkle a few grains on the glue surface to prevent the segment from shifting out of place when clamp pressure is applied. If a small disk sander is used, the joints can be mated to create an almost invisible glue line. When all the layers are complete the plywood form can be cut or planed to remove it or it can be used as a reference to sand the rim using a 2 inch diameter 80 grit sanding drum mounted in a drill press.
