Layout slots for bracing

User-inserted image

Here is how I laid out the slots for bracing. They are 3/8 inch wide, by 1/4 of the radius deep, in this case 1.25 inches. Measure and cut them as accurately as possible, because they will be glued in, and they are a major part of what keeps your wheel true and square.
