It's a pretty basic process.
Cut the faces of the rim on the mill or the lathe. (Figure out the angle or angles you want first.)
Then cut the outside of of the rim to fit the tire on the mill or the lathe. (I used the lathe since I wanted bead detail.)
Then part the rim off using the lathe.

Actually it doesn't matter if you cut the face or bead first, so you might want to make a blank to fit the tire first.


What you use that chunck of wood that reads 27.2 for?
