Actually I realised that the guy above used a real hub, he tightened the forks again at the bottom.. question is, how do we weld steel to an alum hub?

surely all you need would be a steel bearing that would be the right width, something cheap off a piece of machinery, then a small piece of pipe which you could solder the 'legs' to then slot the bearings in and viola. think like a skate wheel but metal, I'm guessing it doesnt have to be ridden 100's of miles

Actually even a skate wheel forced into a steel tube of the right diameter would do the trick.
Going even further, if this is for a photo shoot would the wheels/bearings/bike even have to be functional ?

You don't but you can braze it
So I need to build a "walking" bike.
It's for a photoshoot we're doing where each shoe will be a nice new trainer.
The idea is to find an old frame, some steel rods and a workshop.
I saw Max (glow) earlier, and he said he had the frame, the workshop, the desire to help... all we need is some steel and a bit of advice: do we need a real hub? Since we're going to widen the forks, chainstays and seatstay to allow for the shoes to pass, the width will become too much for a normal hub, right? I want the bike to function, so we need the wheels to turn...
here is how it should look:
this is funny but too flimsy:
