Then you take another piece of wood and drill a 1/4" hole in it. Stick a bolt through your rough center and this other piece of wood and clamp the second piece of wood to bandsaw so that the edge of your 1 inch thick plywood sits flush against the bandsaw blade. Then just turn the bandsaw on and twirl the plywood around the bolt you put through it. Makes a roughly circular wheel.

You can use a similar method by bolting a router to the end of the board for perfectly round wheels, I have seen it used to great effect.
