Does anyone have a good way of making wooden wheels for wooden toys? I do not
have a lathe so that may leave out some options. Currently I've been cutting
the wheels with a 3-prong adjustable hole cutter on my drill press and then
using a smaller spade bit to add an inner "hub" to the wheel. What are other 
methods to use?

Also, I've lately been making the wheels from pine and they never seem to come
out very cleanly. A LOT of sanding is required to get them smooth. Any good
suggestions for what wood to use? Any good techniques for sanding wheels?
