Hello all, the machine I use to face the back of the wheel is a Rockwell radial drill press that has been modified. All equipment came from a gentelman that owned C&H wood wheels years ago.
This looks like a Model T wheel although I suppose it could be for some other vehicle. If it’s for a T the steel rim is the felloe. There were no wood fellows used on T wheels except on early Ts without demountable rims.
I did not see the spoke end to rim being turned. I am currently making some myself 60 spokes for 5 wheels plus for mistakes. I have made one out of pine for a trial.
Wheelwright, Dave Seiler, whose work is shown in the video may be able to help you with your question. Email him at wheelguy221@yahoo.com or phone 714-501-7080.
There are two wagon/carriage wheel builder’s tools used. One is a cone with a blade on the inside. This is used in a brace and bit to put a cone shaped taper on the end of the spoke. Once this is done another special tool with a blade is inserted at the end of the cone and used to turn the tapered end into a tendon. Hard to explain but the tools work well. I used them to put the tendons on the spokes for my Model T wheels. You can often find the tools at flea markets.
good afternoon I congratulate you for the work of the spokes you could give me a sketch with the measurements of the finished beam for me to try to make them my tire is 30 x 3 1/2 thank you very much
Hi I have old Governess Trap that needs a lot of work would love to restore it to its glory days I live in ireland if anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great

Where on earth did you acquire the antique wheel building equipment, fantastic! how can I DIY my wooden spoked wheels?

The master.
Awesome
We really take for granted how easy we have it compared to how it was done 100 years ago
Good afternoon excelent vidieo can you tell me what is the measurements on the spokes and the sizes.
How did the inner and outer hub come apart
I’m still looking for the fellies the spokes were pressed into.
All I saw was the steel rim.
If you look up the word felloes you would find out that you did indeed see the felloes.

That rotating milling/drilling machine is bloody brilliant. Just shows, you DONT have to invest in cnc to get precise and attractive results.
I agree. What a genius machine. An arc on a circle fills the working surface.

It is fora21 inch wheel
Wear those gloves and one day when the blade grabs it you won't have a finger to put back in the glove. Not a smart move brother
This works like a wheel for a car... I made the mistake..
