I have a customer with a tea cart missing both front legs
and one rear leg which is broken. Attached is a copy of
the text they sent and the pictures.  Is manufacturing this
wheel something anyone wants to take on. I am not set
up to do it, I mainly work on site and this is extensive into
the band saw.  It would take me several tries.  Are these
available some where? Please call me at 305 255-3971
or email through the moderator.

Hello Bill,

My husband Bruce spoke to you on the phone last
Saturday regarding the wheels on our tea cart. One of
the back wheels is broken and our movers lost the
smaller front wheels. As you requested, I've enclosed
some photos; one of the entire piece, one of the intact
back wheel, and one of the front section (sitting on
wedges) where the front wheels should be.

The diameter of the wood on the large back wheel is
10 inches, not including the rubber exterior, and it is
5/8 of an inch wide. The front legs are one and one
quarter inch in diameter, and need to be raised
approximately two and one-eighth inches to make the
cart level.

The tea cart belonged to my stepfather's grandparents,
so we would like to restore it, if possible. Please let
us know your thoughts.
