- Solid, hard rubber tires were first started in England around 1865 as a protective measure to driving on cobblestone streets. Steel tires hammered on the cobblestone, jarring not only the wheels, but also the passengers carried in the carriages. Hard rubber tires cushioned the blows from the cobblestones, thus prolonging the wheel's life, plus adding to the serenity of the passengers. Today, these rubber tires aid in driving on hard pavement and gravel roads and are widely used on all designs and sizes of carriages, wagons and buggies. This video helps demonstrate the process on installing hard rubber tires.
Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos. Since I use a large number of these, I do keep them in stock. An email to dave@engelscoachshop.com will get you a list of available sizes and pricing.
In response to a number of requests for the tools and supplies I use here in the shop, I have compiled a list as an Amazon Associate. I have used Makita tools for almost 40 years, but am not sponsored by, nor endorsed by Makita. Perhaps this list will be of service to you as viewers, as well as provide a means to help support this channel.

How the hell did 34 people dislike this........ Pure artisan craftsmanship. Good job
Greetings from England. I remember being taught to 'twang' the wire tension to 'middle c'. Also we called the jointing of wires 'bronze welding' instead of brazing and I had to take a special exam, with a certificate, to qualify to use oxy-acetylene instead of gas/air torch to do it. That was 50 years ago...Thanks.
Fantastic video. Close up view makes things easier to understand. I've been a software engineer and a weekend do-it-yourselfer for some forty years and its good to see things and have things explained in terms we amateurs can understand. A lot of your tools are specialty rigs that I feel most of us have never seen up close. Maybe you can have add series that does a deep dive into the machines you use. Thanks for the videos!
Somebody very much in tune with his craft....
Beautiful thing to see...🇬🇧🙂
glenn moreland 👍
Was fantastic to watch 🥰
*I bet that you designed and fabricated the rod tightening machine/jig . . . CLEVER! ||| Thanks for the detailed tutorial, Dave.*
Very interesting videos. Excellent work 👍🏻
As I was watching, I was wondering what cool machine was next to so lose the rubber gap....shows what I know! Subscribed! So interesting.
No matter how many times I watch your videos I'm still amazed at you craftsmanship.
Compared to the last rubber tire video, you made the process just as clear as that video. What I would have liked to see more of was the ingenuity of the machine you built for it, especially how you release the tension from the ratchet and transfer it to the jaws- up close. Love it. Thanks for another interesting video Dave.
This video was very helpful in understanding the process of mounting rubber tires. Thank you so much
Ahhhhh! The smell of fresh burnt rubber!.......Reminds me of a steak I once ate barbecued over apple wood chips! Been getting much snow up there Dave? BTW, I get a thrill ever time you show the gas station reader board across the street from your place. I paid $2.08 a gallon for regular in Louisiana today! Eat your heart out!
Wow! That's an art not many know today
I don't know anything about this trade but I have to admit that I'm really amazed that there isn't a simpler and faster way to get this done.
I learned something new again, Dave !! Thanks for sharing, my friend !!
This is the second time I enjoyed this video.
From Bob Sled building to hard rubber tires in a few short weeks. We viewers are lucky to observe you at work.
A lot of thought went into the tensioning rig.
I know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I love any tricks you can give me.
@Kristopher Nicolas instablaster =)
@Gary Luis thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Learning and more learning every day continue
I always thought that rubber tired wagon wheels were a product of magic. Obviously I was wrong yet again. I enjoyed the video a lot. Thanks for posting. Regards, Solomon
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing such a marvelous piece of pure art.
New dust collector looks good
EXCELLENT WORK , AS ALWAYS
Dave, your rubber tire installing machine is genius, brilliant genius. I'm continuously astounded by your elegant craftsmanship and ingenuity.
No thank us for watching. Thank you for showing us your skills on how to install a hard rubber tire. A workmanship that I admire dearly!
Underrated channel! Thankyou for the videos. Have to love ol timers and the skills they have built up throughout the years of working hard.
People nowadays should take point of this man and his work ethic.
Wow, as usual, you make it look so easy. Great machine you built. I have a ' Sweet tire machine" . I got it from craigslist in New Orleans, shipped to Los Angeles. It was a man in his 80s. He said he had it for 40 years and it was old when he got it. It is hard to use, it pulls each wire in the opposite direction and that tends to make the rubber twist. Yours pulls both the same way, We do 2 1/2 in wide rubber. My friend and I have only done 6 sets of 4 wheels.
Wish I was 45 years younger. I'd have loved to apprenticeship under you. You are a true Craftsman of the highest order. Wishing you well & good health for many years to come.
Larry Parish I hope he has an apprentice to teach him how to do this outstanding work.
Very helpful and a real pleasure to watch, thanks
Fantastic, thanks for sharing and I love your shop
I would never have guessed the rubber was under compression, very counter intuitive. Thanks to your explanation, all is clear now.
I have seen you fitting rubber tyres before and as always I appreciate your skill and craftsmanship but the most impressive thing is the rig you built to fit them. Big effort.
It surely takes a wheelwright to figure one of those contraptions out !!
Fascinating! I enjoyed tgat very much. Thanks for posting
I think I can watch you work all day! You sir, are a true CRAFTSMAN!!
I would guess when you tension the wires by ear the only note you don't want to hear is "A flat" LOL
"B-Sharp", and you will find the right note...
Well my goodness, when it comes to RUclips comments, you are A natural.
Gee, that was sharp.
Droll, very droll.
With hard tires you don't have to worry about A sharp object in the road.
I had a business many years ago where I designed and built custom made wheelchairs. Amazingly, installing these hard rubber tires is almost exactly like installing them on wheelchairs.
Just bigger and there's no soldering, you just loop the wires together and pull them tight. Then you slide the tire over the loops.
It's so relaxing to watch you do your work Mr Engels, you are a true craftsman and very interesting.
I just wish you lived closer to Austin Texas so I could go watch you work and clean the shop
for you !!!
Wonderful craftmanship, Mr. Engels! Thank you for posting.
Came here because Bob The Science Guy claimed over and over that we had lost stage coach technology. Subcribed because we haven't lost stage coach technology. Thank you for your wonderful channel.
My mother always said the reason she went with my father on that first date was because of his rubber-tired buggy. (I'm old and they were in their mid 40s when I was born)
Your ol' man sounds cool!
I used to have a 1971 canary yellow Camaro. I suppose in a lot of ways it was like having a fancy buggy.
It definitely helped with the girls!
@@knunyabeasewhacks8744 it doesn't sound like it, but the 57 Ford I drove when I met my wife of 55 years was sharp enough to get her on board. 😁
.
@ We seem to pre-judge people for the oddest things: skin color, accent, place of birth. Might as well throw in rubber tires.
From flashy buggies to flashy cars, people don’t change much.
i dont know a thing about wagon wheels ,but i have been in the machine and equipment repair business all my life and i can appreciate the unique machines. fixtures and talent that it takes to do what you do thanks for sharing.
No idea how I got here but I watched ever second and was mesmerized the whole time.
Enjoyed the video Mr Engel. That is amazing. If I hadn't seen it I wouldn't believe that extra long piece of rubber would have went on that wheel. Thanks for taking the time to produce the video. Y'all take care and God bless.
great job... great craftmanship....
Fascinating as always. I couldn't understand why you made the rubber so long. Good explanation at the end. The machine you use for tensioning the wires must be a one of a kind by now. It's very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting and excellent work done 👍
Lovely job
So relaxing to watch and learn, knowing you'll never actually do it. Also what a joy to make a u tube clip where almost nobody knows what there seeing besides what simply unfolds. Very very cool thankyou !
Never knew changing rubber on a buggy is such a skilful craft!
Excellent educational Video
Thanks for your time efforts and research.
Thanks so much for the detail.
You can purchase a similar wheel machine from the Amish. It takes a lot trial and error to be proficient using it. Great video on this topic and all of the others for that matter. Thank you! Maybe a video on tips and tricks to get old wire out.
What a great memory for each job on the special tools for them.
It is nice to watch you measuring the wire tension by ear. When you get tired of making and fixing wheels you can try tuning pianos. Enjoy your videos
Im just getting into carriage repair great video
Whoa, didn't realize there were 2 videos back to back! Awesome!
Another great educational video for those of us who enjoy watching you at your trade. This student, (Me) was wondering if sometime you could take the time out and refresh those of us who forgot how to use the wireewheel machine. Thanks again David, I always enjoy your videos.
respect from Montenegro MNE
Very very cool. Thanks
That was a great video thank you for making it.
I would never have guessed how that was done in a month of Sundays! Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
I was taught how to replace worn out or broken tires when I was a tour carriage driver, but I was taught wrong. Thanks for sharing
This was a fascinating process, thank you for sharing these techniques.
Very interesting , I have never seen this done before but have seen some similar equipment in old blacksmiths shops . Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
As always I’m amazed
Never would have thought you could compress the rubber that much
You might be surprised how useful rubber is in forming aluminum parts... it is amazing!!
Wonderful!
Hey Dave that was awesome to see just how you did that. Great information and a fantastic machine for installation. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hello Dave, I am from Pennsylvania. I have been a subscriber to your channel for a few years now. I thoroughly enjoy all of your video content, keep up the great work. I wish there was a master builder like you in this area that I could learn from, I love this kind of craft. I have talked with a few of the Amish families that live in the area around here and they tell me that most of their buggy parts are shipped to them from over 1000 miles away. Nobody around here does it anymore. Again, keep up the fantastic videos, I love to see a notice that you have produced a new one each time it comes out.
Your videos are so interesting, I hope that you're craft will continue for years to come, thank you for posting.
You never cease to amaze me.
Love the tyre machine
I always wondered how the rubber was kept on, thank you. Great video.
Fascinating!!
Doing WW II on 16th St two blocks east of what was Crawford Ave. in Chicagom was a little shop that specialized in installing rubber tires on the like of my tricycle or my mom's baby buggy. Cut off the old tire, found the right size tire to use, was on a spool. Ran a wire through it and somehow twisted the two ends together around the, push the two ends together. Faster than I can type this.
Was a lot of shops like this back then, ran through my old neighborhood via Google maps. all those shops are gone, all vacant lots now. William Penn grade school is still there where I went to school.
Practically anything we buy today is throwaway. Retired automotive engineer, back then practically any component was rebuildable. Today, throwaway, can't even rebuild a starter motor, largest throwaway part is the unibody, no way to repair these outside of a minor dent. And when that is thrown away, so is the rest of it. Lived near a park, if I could find an empty coke bottle, was worth 2 cents, could buy a lot of candy with that.
i tought car tires fitting with hand tools is hard but seems like it's childs play compared to this :D would be nice to actually do this kind of stuff and learn it.
The tire puter-oner is a clever contraption.
The “Engles TPO”
Once again,,, thank you muchly for the explanation and demonstration.
Zero view, 2 likes, and I stopped counting after 20 comments. What's wrong with this picture? Dave I have not disliked a single thing you've posted and I've seen them all. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you so much for demonstrating how this is done!!!
I knew there was wires in those but had never seen how that was done before! Thanks for showing us.
Thank you.
It is a wonderful trade to master and you have done it. The satisfaction of doing something that requires ability and skills with some old fashioned hard work and patience must be a great feeling. Thank you for sharing your endeavors with us.
Experienced bicycle wheel builder/fixer here. Most excellent, sir. Thank you.
(I would've glued the tires as well as wired. And I wouldn't have used the WD for a lube, but would've used something dry, like graphite. Oil based lube on rubber has longevity issues. And I definitely need to consider moving to Montana!)
I wonder if the guy that thought about compressing the rubber got a that a boy. What a great idea
Fascinating in how the tires are installed!!
You make it look easy.
Well done.
Thanks for the video.
thank you very much.
I never knew I needed to know how that was done. That's brilliant!
Once again Mr. Dave, a totally outstanding show!!! But with ( which YOU are WELL aware of ) all my expertise in all things, as I look back in my former years, I do believe I accomplished just about the same thing back in 10 grade WOOD shop a couple of weeks ago. But, without all the fancy tools you have to work with. You did somewhat ok BUThe BIG story here I think is all the tools you have acquired and rebuilt and added to and the untold stories they could tell if they could talk, OR if you could do a show MAYBE on were they all came from and all the stories behind them. Maybe you could take one item that you are using in a show and tell the world ( because your audience seems to be from ALL over) just were it came from and HOW you got it. Just maybe a few min. segment at the end of each show. Ask your subscribers, or the people in the comment section what tool or process they might like to know a little more about. Never mind me Mr. Dave, I am just flapping my lips, like clowns, hotdogs, balloons aParade and a Mr. Dave DAY! Once again WELL DONE< GREAT SHOW< one of your best. Rick.
This the next day Mr. Dave, and the first time I have had a chance to go through your comment section which I enjoy ALMOST as much as your show and low and behold, there are a ton, OK a few, people commenting on the equipment u use. So maybe my idea might not be off the wall after all. Thank you, Rick
I kept waiting for you to shorten that extra length of tire..... was pleasantly surprised on how things progressed.
Remember from ur other instructional vid....ur mightily blessed..
genius wire tension machine thingy.
Once again, thanks for sharing your knowledge. You always show us something interesting. Love it all. 😎👍👏
Well, whaddya know! That's the exact opposite of what I thought you'd do. I thought you'd cut the rubber exactly the circumference of the wheel, and the tension of wire would pull it together. Thank you for showing that amazing operation.
Very Clever
I never knew how those were mounted. The pneumatic tire was quite the innovation.
That's a really ingenious machine and method, tho it seems obvious once we see it done. Our ancestors were mighty good at thinking through these mechanical problems.
I'd like to see how you balance the wheels, too.
I don't think these get balanced
Rez Zircon.... I don't think balancing wooden buggy wheels is really necessary.... unless, of course - you happen to know of a horse that would be capable of cruising at 60 to 70mph.... in that case, I know of some folks in the horse racing business that would REALLY love to have a chat with you. : )
LOL, I'd like to see those horses too. Imagine 'em on an L.A. freeway. :D
you are strong!
Дорий вечер вам.Красивая работа у вас.
Maybe you could go through the shop & explain to us where & how you acquired all your specialty machines? & also I was curious about if there was any apprentices or classes you teach to keep the trade alive?
شكرا لك عمل في غاية الابداع
