Chopping up the pedals

In order to get the pedals to fit in the axle of the wheel, I have to cut off the sprocket and some washers with the angle grinder.  Once they were cut off, I tried to put the pedals in the wheel but the axle had too sharp of an angle to fit.  I cut the pedal in half and now it can fit through.  Monday, I need to shave down the with of the pedal axle in some areas and then weld the axle to the wheel.  I also have to find a way to attach the fork to the wheel without have it rotate with the wheel.
