Perhaps a baseball or bump cap, too?

Add strings + beard to the design.

10” so enough to make a 18” panel and to be realistic unless you can really wheel well that’s the limit for a beginner

Put your prices up, man. They're worth so much more than you charge.

Totally random question - I have a resin cast plaque ornament that my son loves - it's about a foot square; 1 inch thick. But being resin, it's brittle / fragile; and son really upset that a piece got knocked off. This thread makes me wonder if it could be cast in iron (or same metal as these wheels as finish looks truly lovely. Many questions - minimum order for the foundry; ball park cost; would painted resin suffice as a former etc. Who could I approach for a quick chat ?
