My grandfather was a blacksmith and wheelwright in Eudunda, South Australia from 1890. My mother remembered watching him and his tradesmen making the wheels in his workshop before she went off to school in the mornings. Thank you for a wonderful insight into some of my ancestor's trade.
This video brings back fond memories, my father was the last wheelwright in our area when I was a small boy seventy five years ago. He ran a long founded family business of joiners, wheelwrights, and undertakers. Everything made was done by hand or with hand operated basic machinery, no power tools whatsoever. The local blacksmith rented his workshop from my father and the blacksmith made and fitted the metal tyres or rims to the wheels, as well as shoeing big Shire and Clydesdale cart horses. I vividly remember the smoke and smell of fitting the rims as well as the smoke and smell of the blacksmith bedding in hot shoes to the horses hooves. His rims were forge and anvil welded and riveted, not electric arc as in this video.
Hi thanks for sharing your thoughts, it sounds like an idyllic set up, can I recommend a book to you? The Wheelwrights shop by George sturt It tells the story of an old wheelwrights shop just like your fathers and is written by the Son as he took over the shop when his farther retired, its a great bit of history of old England and beautifully written I am sure you will love it!
Great vídeo. My grandfather was a wheelwright in the British army for many years. Unfortunately, I never got to meet him, but it's nice to see what he did
Bloody excellent, and never a word spoken til the very end. Beautifully filmed, too. There was a wheelwright in my village when I were a lad - you've taken me back 75 years ! What pleasure you've given to thousands.
Gupta say this is a piece of art ….I to am a self thought trades person who started out building houses then on to cabinets and then stairs that I gained a lot of nuggets from other trades people ,as life went on ,then I can,t forget to mention when I would go to bed and thank God for my health and strength and for a safe day then into my sleep I would go …..a lot of my question on how to do things would come to me in my sleep 💤 but this wheel building thing has captured my eye I, am 75 years old and want to try this …way ta go guzz I,am impressed … be sure to thank God for your knowledge and keep rolling , and if you haven’t excepted him as your saviour please don’t leave it to late .. He loves you John 3 :16
I'm in the process of making my own 2/3 scale wagon for our garden. I'm amazed at how something that looks so simple is actually quite a complex undertaking. I never would have even attempted it without the great help of RUclips clips like this. It's much easier to do things after you've seen how a master does it. Thanks so much for taking the time and energy to share your knowledge.
I always thought of RUclips as just being entertainment but after watching this Video i realized it were a lot more than that. It has effectively saved an old craft from slipping into history. There was a time when to make a wooden wheel would take a 3-4 yr apprenticeship and all of the knowledge was passed down by hands on teaching. But through videos like this these crafts will never be lost. Thankyou
Wow! This is a video to archieve safely , in a vault , so we don t forget how it s made. And the perfect sound of that well crafted wooden wheel bouncing on the ground is music to my ear! Bravo!
Don't forget the videos for mining iron ore and creating coke for the Bessemer converters and the mixtures of iron, cobalt , et al, in contro furnaces at 2200+ degrees F. And the forges for the steel tools plus the electric motors and the power generation stations and ....
and after the collapse of the tech civilization, what exactly are you going to view these videos on. Assuming that the religious fanatics do not burn you at the stake as a witch...?
+Robert Walther Have you lost your mind, what are you talking about? This man did a masterful job and you come in with that kind of junk? You need help!
As the gaps on the wheel were closing the gap in my mouth opened, wow good craftsmanship as well as good video editing. Brilliant work all-round and thank you for no music.
The very first ancestor of mine (William Goose [Ganz/Gans]) in Kentucky was Kentucky's first wheelwright. He made wagons and wheels for the pioneer families, even including cousin Daniel Boone. This is why I was grateful to see this film and understand more of the skills my ancestors had over 230+ years ago. I appreciate that this video did not have explanations because countless videos have audio or language issues. There was pure skill in the workmanship of the wheel that was made in the video. I further appreciated that we only had to see a few of the things that we know he had to repeat all of the way around. It kept the video moving forward. Thanks for sharing the valuable and historical skills. Best wishes, Brennan
The most skilfull woodwork I have ever seen some of the tools used are so traditional, the ability of the tradesman is exceptional and the confidence in his measures so exact. I have to say that this video should be put in a capsule for th future.
Watching that cart wheel come alive using old world craftsmanship truly was a thing of beauty to behold. Hats off to you sir and may your noble trade be passed on for many generations.
Thank you for posting such a great video. I was glued to the screen. So many small marking details that are so important for the final wheel to come out perfect. A trade that is not shown enough around the world. Once again a massive thanks
Apsolutely riveting viewing from start to finish, I have subscribed and going back to view all others. I’m a carpenter for the last 45 years and still love watching other trades working 👍
You are the man, what amazing skill and craftmanship. I loved the video especially as there was no inain background music. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Настолько тонкое и точное это мастерство ! Карандашом несколько раз проводят, так как с 3-х раз будет среднеарифметический и оптимальный размер- линия спила. Всё я пропускаю через себя и восхищаюсь глубоким умением большого мастера ! Браво!
My grandfather made wheels back in the forties using nothing but hand tools, no electricity in rural areas of Ireland at the time. Not only did he make the wheels he made the entire cart. People using ONLY hand tools back then were the real craftsmen . Hard laborious work, good memories.
If your grandfather had electricity and electric tools readily available and decided to use them in order to be more efficient, would you then not recognize his skills and craftsmanship?
My great grandfather duplicated antique furniture in a shop with much similar equipment. As a child I played with the oak shavings from the floor. Today as I approach my retirement years I am building out my own shop and developing my own skills with craftsman and arts and crafts furniture design. We need more of this. These skills will be lost without a new generation of apprentices. The products a craftsman can produce often will last several generations providing people appreciate and care for them. Thank you for sharing your exceptional skills and craftsmanship. Thank you for the journey back down memory lane! Absolutely wonderful.
I'm an amateur wood worker and I have to say this is the best and most enjoyable 35 minutes or so I've had in a long time. There's just one problem....it makes me realise just what an amateur I really am.
Excellent Video I'am a motor engineer from a blacksmith and farrier fore fathers and used watch my father and grand father making the iron rims and fitting them to farm cart wheels. Your workshop is amazing and all the tools of the trade have not been lost. Better than the TV.
If you liked this video then please subscribe because we have made another film following the making of a hand cart wheel, it will be finished and uploaded soon .watch this space.
Thanks! Brings back lots of memories.My dad did this as an extra income on our farm. There was no electricity, and everything shown in your video had to be done by hand with handtools, which I still have most of. The metal band was bought in straight lengths, and had to be heated in a furnace section by section and formed into a hoop on the anvil and hammer. The ends were then heated to almost melting point (sparks shooting out of the ends) and then fused together by hammering into shape. Dried cowpats worked best for heating up the hoop, which was my job to go and pick up in the veld.
Bravo à ce Monsieur qui avec des outils traditionnelle et capable de faire ce travail , tout a la main . Prenez en de la graine messieurs les ingénieurs, qui avec vos super ordinateur et vos machines numérique , vous êtes encore capable de faire des pièces défectueuses . Honte à vous ,et respect a ce Monsieur .
Thanks for the video it was very interesting and you are sir a fine craftsmen.Even with the aid of some power tools it's still very challenging.I'm a metal machinist and love watching state of the art CNC machines but it's nice to see how things were done the old fashion way.
Thank You for a fine show of true craftsmanship.. Your collection of special machinery is awesome, and your quiet competence is even more so. God Bless You.
can give me his address , i will visit him when i retire . i am a carpenter myself when i first started my career making wardrobe and kitchen cabinet .
Hi steveibean. I am from a little village in central Morocco, where a europeen do same thing in the past, infortunatly there was no relieving. for this reason I am so happy for young man in the end of video. Congratulations for this great job. Thank you very mutch for sharing your own science. God bless you !!!!!
It was such a pleasure to watch this video. Steveibean, you have gold in your hands! Making such a wheel requires so much precision, so much skill. Simply incredible. I liked it from A to Z. Only the smell of wood was missing. Thank you for those nice moments where fascination makes you forget everything. This video is an efficient médicine against nervous breakdown or burn out. Should be paid back by social insurance.
My grandmother told me about my great-grandfather who was a „Stellmacher“, a wheelwright in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany. At that time all this work was done with handtools, e.g. spokeshaves and a shaving-horse. Thank you for the memories that fantastic video brought to me!
yes and all this German craftsmen are still around ... the US versions keep-up but in Germany it is still an institution .. I have a PHD... 7 years took me to get it .. but before I spend another 7 years to become a master in a metallurgic trade (boy I remember endless hours filing on metal pieces until those fit by the 0.01 mm) afterwards I went to university and studied mechanical and electrical engineering up to PHD another 7 years. Basically I learned how to do things the right way and spend good old elbow grease... and afterwards I learned how and why things work and train my brain.
Прекрасное видео я вернулся на 50 лет в прошлое, мой отец так делал колёса для колхозных телег, только разница он делал всё это вручную и из дуба. А технологические операции одни и те же.Спасибо за видео Beautiful video I went back 50 years in the past, my father made wheels for collective farm carts, only the difference is that he did it all by hand and from oak. And the technological operations are the same.Thank you for the video
I remember watching this being done back in the 1980's on a PBS program, but, in that program it took a team of craftsmen to make a wheel like this. I love watching this kind of project from start to finish. And I get cocky about replacing the rotted trim on my backyard shed. Oh, I'm a girl. I do all the traditional (from my era "traditional") girl stuff, sewing, cooking. But, when I was a teen, I wanted to take "shop" classes, but for girls "it just wasn't done" back then.
Watched them being made several times at DOLLYWOOD. Really enjoyed the square hole being drilled in this video. A craftsman like this really helped us get out west.
Thanks for for taking the time to video and post this. The geometry seems so simple when it's laid out by someone who understands it. I especially admired your jigs and special tools. Watching this just eased the stress of a difficult day. I also applaud the lack of background music. Thanks again.
Walter Strong /Yes I believe you. The jigs did not happen over night and the experience says 20 years. I might be wrong but what's showing is experience was a long hard road! Makes me happy that building wagons and wheels is still with us. I hope that its carried on. I go to the Saint Louis Arch and they have a stage coach! I'm always fascinated with the wheels and leather suspension on it! One question I have! Why not adapt wheel bearings, why keep greased sleeves?
vernon slatton . cheers. yes 30 years I have been making and repairing wheels . the bearing thing I think it's too do with the complexity of a roller bearing system. you would still need a long sleeve to hold the bearings and spread the load across a large area of the wood. the traditional axels work very well and are simple and reliable. the collinge axle and Bush is a fantastic bit of engineering. the axle is case hardend and the Bush in the wheel is chilled cast iorn. there is an oil reservoir and leather oil seals the fit is hand lapped and very accurate they last for ever as long as they are oiled and run smoother than a roller bearing.
steveibean / 30 years wow! Your right of course! Hundreds of years of tech in those greased bearings! If you get the chance to make more videos, please do! Greatly appreciate your time and wisdom! Thank you again
Nice to see the old trades still being undertaken. My great grandfather and grandfather were wheelwrights in Salford Quays Manchester and my father described them making a wheel just as in the video. I have inherited manual skills and was the only person I know who did A level Woodwork. My Grandfather closed the business before I was an adult so I never had a chance to see it.
This might be an odd question, but how is it that there aren’t a lot of last names called “Wheelwright”? So many other trades bequeathed their title to their family name, but not this one. Or perhaps there are people with that last name?

Всё я пропускаю через себя и восхищаюсь глубоким умением большого мастера ! Браво! Также- инструменты и машины - всё есть. У настоящего мастера ! Thank you .
That is an amazing skill. One could never imagine the amount of work and technique that goes into creating a single wagon wheel. And that's With modern machinery (i.e. plunge mortising) and arc welders etc. Nice work. Excellent Video.
Great work you are a craftsmen in art that goes back to invention of the wheel. You must feel like a member of a special tribe with huge history. Steel pins in the felloes means it must be a strong wheel. I suppose the hub bearing is wheel specific we did not see that being fitted but customer may want bearings or plain greased shaft. We truly stand on the shoulders of giants, without wheels like this in the past we would not be watching this now. Thank You enjoyed a lot.
golden hands god bless you .thanx for this video i ve alwas wondered my self how a whhel just frow wood could travel all usa east to the far west in those western films .i had to waite 50 years to know that art .thanx master
Bravo à cet artisan, et j'admire encore plus les charrons qui faisaient des roues de grande taille , 2 mètres et plus, sans avoir toutes ces machines modernes. Outils à bois et forge. Chapeau !
mis mas sinceros respetos y saludos para esta gran persona por su inteligecia para yegar aser un gran artesano c nesesita mucho tiempo y dedicacion soy un gran admirador delo artesanos como ustedes saludos desde mexico mi pais y los seguire viendo en sus videos en hora buena y adelante admirandono ✌✌👍👍👍
WOW!!! Imagine this having to be done in the olden days with ni power tools? They STILL did it to perfection, even though it may have taken much longer, the craftsmanship was held at a much higher standard. They knew people's lives and livelyhoods were on the line and in their hands. I've always been fasinated at how thuis was done. Thank you so much for this awesome video tutorial!
Wow!! Ever since as a little boy, I've always wondered how do they make the wagon wheels. Now I know. I'm sure just to make one wheel it take 100 hours or so, maybe more. But great job!! This is a dying tradition. Not many people do this anymore.
Da gusto ver vídeos así. El maestro tiene una gran profesionalidad y el trabajo que hizo el camarógrafo no se queda atrás. Todo con una precisión y exactitud pedagógica. Pienso que este vídeo puede clasificar como material de estudio en las escuelas politécnicas.
Nice video. I've done quite a bit of family history research. In 1836 my 4x great grandad, William Henshaw who was a blacksmith, and his brother who was a wheelwright set up the Stockport Lurry Works on Wellington Road North, Heaton Norris. They made tradesman's vehicles, and did repairs. They sold to all parts of the country, and were even known overseas too. The company was carried on by William's son, grandson, and I think great grandson too. Thank you.
Thats nice, my father has been studying our family tree and and we recently discovered that we are descended from James Brindley ,the Victorian engineer from Staffordshire who built alot of the first canals he started out as a wheelwright and then became a millwright where he met Josiah Wedgwood and started on his journey designing and building canals, I am from Stoke on Trent and did my apprenticeship in wheelwrighting with a chap from chinley in Derbyshire just a few miles from where James grew up. Small world!!
My grandfather was a blacksmith and wheelwright in Eudunda, South Australia from 1890. My mother remembered watching him and his tradesmen making the wheels in his workshop before she went off to school in the mornings. Thank you for a wonderful insight into some of my ancestor's trade.
This video brings back fond memories, my father was the last wheelwright in our area when I was a small boy seventy five years ago. He ran a long founded family business of joiners, wheelwrights, and undertakers. Everything made was done by hand or with hand operated basic machinery, no power tools whatsoever. The local blacksmith rented his workshop from my father and the blacksmith made and fitted the metal tyres or rims to the wheels, as well as shoeing big Shire and Clydesdale cart horses. I vividly remember the smoke and smell of fitting the rims as well as the smoke and smell of the blacksmith bedding in hot shoes to the horses hooves. His rims were forge and anvil welded and riveted, not electric arc as in this video.

Walter Strong /Yes I believe you. The jigs did not happen over night and the experience says 20 years. I might be wrong but what's showing is experience was a long hard road! Makes me happy that building wagons and wheels is still with us. I hope that its carried on.
I go to the Saint Louis Arch and they have a stage coach! I'm always fascinated with the wheels and leather suspension on it!
One question I have! Why not adapt wheel bearings, why keep greased sleeves?
vernon slatton . cheers. yes 30 years I have been making and repairing wheels . the bearing thing I think it's too do with the complexity of a roller bearing system. you would still need a long sleeve to hold the bearings and spread the load across a large area of the wood. the traditional axels work very well and are simple and reliable. the collinge axle and Bush is a fantastic bit of engineering. the axle is case hardend and the Bush in the wheel is chilled cast iorn. there is an oil reservoir and leather oil seals the fit is hand lapped and very accurate they last for ever as long as they are oiled and run smoother than a roller bearing.
steveibean / 30 years wow! Your right of course! Hundreds of years of tech in those greased bearings! If you get the chance to make more videos, please do! Greatly appreciate your time and wisdom! Thank you again
I do intend too .when I have the time.
Nice to see the old trades still being undertaken. My great grandfather and grandfather were wheelwrights in Salford Quays Manchester and my father described them making a wheel just as in the video. I have inherited manual skills and was the only person I know who did A level Woodwork. My Grandfather closed the business before I was an adult so I never had a chance to see it.
This might be an odd question, but how is it that there aren’t a lot of last names called “Wheelwright”? So many other trades bequeathed their title to their family name, but not this one. Or perhaps there are people with that last name?
Настолько тонкое и точное это мастерство ! Карандашом несколько раз проводят, так как с 3-х раз будет среднеарифметический и оптимальный размер- линия спила. Всё я пропускаю через себя и восхищаюсь глубоким умением большого мастера ! Браво! Также- инструменты и машины - всё есть. У настоящего мастера ! Thank you .

That is an amazing skill. One could never imagine the amount of work and technique that goes into creating a single wagon wheel. And that's With modern machinery (i.e. plunge mortising) and arc welders etc.
Nice work. Excellent Video.

Отличная работа! Excelent work!!!
Не перевелись ещё мастера ,живо ещё доброе старое ремесло . Большое спасибо за сёмку.
Great work you are a craftsmen in art that goes back to invention of the wheel. You must feel like a member of a special tribe with huge history. Steel pins in the felloes means it must be a strong wheel. I suppose the hub bearing is wheel specific we did not see that being fitted but customer may want bearings or plain greased shaft. We truly stand on the shoulders of giants, without wheels like this in the past we would not be watching this now. Thank You enjoyed a lot.
golden hands god bless you .thanx for this video i ve alwas wondered my self how a whhel just frow wood could travel all usa east to the far west in those western films .i had to waite 50 years to know that art .thanx master

WOW!!! Imagine this having to be done in the olden days with ni power tools? They STILL did it to perfection, even though it may have taken much longer, the craftsmanship was held at a much higher standard. They knew people's lives and livelyhoods were on the line and in their hands. I've always been fasinated at how thuis was done. Thank you so much for this awesome video tutorial!

Superbly done! That's a ton of work you've done there. I really liked the spoke squeezer tool. Very nicely done video and fun to watch!

пересматривал. Лаик за работу.
Wow!! Ever since as a little boy, I've always wondered how do they make the wagon wheels. Now I know. I'm sure just to make one wheel it take 100 hours or so, maybe more. But great job!! This is a dying tradition. Not many people do this anymore.
Nice work, not hurry but quality! GLORY TO WORKER'S HANDS!
That is skill right there . A pleasure to watch.
No more to say. Amazing, isn't it.

Da gusto ver vídeos así. El maestro tiene una gran profesionalidad y el trabajo que hizo el camarógrafo no se queda atrás. Todo con una precisión y exactitud pedagógica. Pienso que este vídeo puede clasificar como material de estudio en las escuelas politécnicas.
I held my breath so much that when I came to myself I prayed that the video would not end. congratulations
Great video. True Craftsmanship.
Awesome to watch , with a kid taking over even better
Здорово! Мастер Высший Класс! ☝️👍👍

I remember my grandfather pushing his wagon into the pond before corn harvest. We pulled corn by hand my brother and I had the down rows.
Nice video. I've done quite a bit of family history research. In 1836 my 4x great grandad, William Henshaw who was a blacksmith, and his brother who was a wheelwright set up the Stockport Lurry Works on Wellington Road North, Heaton Norris. They made tradesman's vehicles, and did repairs. They sold to all parts of the country, and were even known overseas too. The company was carried on by William's son, grandson, and I think great grandson too. Thank you.
Thats nice, my father has been studying our family tree and and we recently discovered that we are descended from James Brindley ,the Victorian engineer from Staffordshire who built alot of the first canals he started out as a wheelwright and then became a millwright where he met Josiah Wedgwood and started on his journey designing and building canals, I am from Stoke on Trent and did my apprenticeship in wheelwrighting with a chap from chinley in Derbyshire just a few miles from where James grew up.
Small world!!
