How to properly attach a wooden shaft to a metal ball bearing? Hello Guys and Gals For a small DIY school project I am making something like a steering wheel. Now I have a wooden board where I was planning to cut out a hole that fits the bearings outer diameter directly and then press a wooden shaft into the inner diameter. Then I can attach the steering wheel to the shaft with a screw or so and have a makeshift Steering wheel. My question now is how good will this hold up? Will the fact that its pressed in there be enough friction to make it hold up to maybe some manhandling from a few kids or are there better ways to attach it so it cant get loose? Googling this exact problem I either couldn't find it or couldn't find the right terminology to find a solution for me. I have basically every tool at hands there is. What are some other ways I could make this work that would make it not be able to "technically" spin freely once the wood is "worn down" a bit?…
