The center wheel is a piece of 3/4" dowel that I drilled and bolted through. Once I put the bolt in, I hooked it up in the drill press and gently held my fret saw up to the edge of the dowel to make a nice fret sized groove all the way around. Then I bolted on a scrap piece of wood from a cigar box to act as the handle and started bending. Works pretty good.
