What is the purpose of tapping the steel "tire" with a hammer while cooling it off with the garden hose? I have seen several other wooden wheel makers do this as well so it is clearly part of the regular process but not sure what it accomplishes. Thanks.
Great video of great craftsmanship!
Nicely done, looks true also . Nice jig for drill press to move it where your next hole is to be also.
