I love the desks. I wish I could have that kind of luck! That's a slick way to groove wheels. Is that a set of hack saw blades that I see in the grooving block?

Yes John those are hacksaw blades. I marked the grooves on the wood using a factory wheel then cut the grooves with my band saw and inserted the blades , also made a couple extra grooves for wider tires.
Thanks Rod

Thanks Doc I watch Craigslist every day. We also have an online auction here I'm always looking for items of good wood I can cut up. I have a pretty good supply now, 95% of the wood I use is reclaimed.

Great looking shop Dan! And a great place to "retire" to (in more ways than one) when the time comes.
Kind regards
