Jonathan - my friend: First off - thank you for sharing your projects with us. 2nd: Excellent job with the spokes and your method of repair is spot on - now we all know how those wooden wheels were made. 3rd: Thank you Joey for your excellent support of Jonathan and We, his subscribers owe you a debt of thanks. Keeping Jonathan knee-deep in bolts and screws is a huge undertaking. You've knocked it out-of-the-park. 4th: Bolt storage and organization - good luck - keep us posted on that project too! (soooo many bolts!) Keep up the great work! Chuck in NE Kansas
Wow! What a nice gift! When I was young man I used to save all kinds of nuts bolts and washers. Now I have no room for them. I went to the dump about 2 months ago threw some scrap in the iron dumpster and there were boxes of carriage bolts lag bolts washers all brand new that somebody had thrown in there. I wished I had a place to keep them. Anvils, they are sure handy to have. I've got an Arm & Hammer Anvil mounted on a piece of log, it sure is nice to have.
Great job as usual. Your spokes turned out great. Really enjoyed watching a genius at work. As my dad used to say "I would like to acquire half of the knowledge you have already forgotten"!!! I'm so glad that all of those bolts, screws, nuts and brass items didn't go for scrap.
I met a man in South Florida who who did high dollar restoration for well off clients who said there were only a 'few guys' left who could work on wooden spoked car wheels. That was maybe 15-20 years ago. Now there is RUclips and you have accomplished your purpose. Anyone with a bit of determination and skill could now do it thanks to your excellent work.
It must make you feel proud that you have the ability to repair this antique stuff. You amaze me with your talent. I am sure you really enjoy doing this to help remove the stress of the towing business. Thumbs' up always. Take care
The wheel (rim) turned out perfect. I know you've priced bolts at Lowes and Home Depot and you know you've got a small fortune on your hands if you can sort, pack and sell 'em two or three or four at a time but it looks like a full time job unless you can find some neighborhood kids willing to work for a few bucks an hour. Thanks JW!!
As a Mech Engineer, great to see you tackle wooden items. I've done so myself. A word to other Mech's..... don't get hung up on limits. fits and tolerancing. Do as Jonathan does, woodwork is more instinctive. Love your attitude to life Jonathan. The car collection is starting to great in the background if your videos.
Your one of the the most resourceful people I have ever seen. I started keeping my belts in zip lock bags , maybe they will last longer without coming apart. Over the years i have accumulated a large assortment of hardware and am retired now and hardly use it much, someday I know that most I will have to get rid of most of it, gonna have to figure what to do with it. Dreading it.
Great Job on that whippet wheel nice and solid repair. Wow with all those nuts and bolts and fittings it will be a full time job just sorting them but great that you got them and they wont go to wait. Two thumbs up
Dear Jonathan I happen to stumble on your video I've been watching everyone. Bing a machinist and a Sheet metal Worker and all around gearhead. I truly enjoy watching you do your work You know what you're doing And you do it well.it was truly entertainment. Thanks for sharing Happy new year
great resource, literally! I enjoyed the wheel rebuild. I'm inspired to go back to an old neighbor and rescue an Essex rolling chassis with most of the wheels (made into a haywagon, covered things well).
That is a stunning amount of hardware and no better home for them than in your capable hands. Well done on the wheelwright work, only you would break your teeth in on the most complicated layout there is!
Outstanding work on the Whippet wheel spokes Jonathan, a very nice gesture on scoring the 'hardware' you deserve the karma with the many good deeds you have done for other folk. atvb t ..
I think everyone that does their own work loves to have bolts and brass fittings around, you sir just hit the jackpot. I've heard many people talk about making their own sanding belts and gluing them together to save money but don't recall the glue they use so putting yours back together shouldn't be a big deal just finding a glue that will work and I'm sure that is only a few tries away.
Nice work! Im looking at a still shot of the tool and wood shavings on a big screen smart TV🖥 at 00:16 and smiling at the job well-done. I loved the way you modified the tool to fit in the powered machine rather than the manual Brace and Bit tool, and gee, i can picture an ancestor from 1870 creating a tenon manually using that tool. What a powerful sound that blade made cutting that wood!
The Wheelwright's Shop with Jonathan. Great work, and all from a wheelbarrow handle! The six pointed star anvil MIGHT have been made by Fisher. The American Star company made an anvil with a five pointed star and Fisher was the only other big player then. The 6 pointed star seems to be rare and no one (at least in a google search) can identify who cast it. I picked up a parts cabinet full of hardware last summer. It had a lot of fine thread bolts and other things in it and I was thinking of taking to the recycling yard. Last week I was changing out an engine on a mower with one from a pressure washer that had a shorter shaft so I needed a longer bolt and some spacers to get the bell-type pulley to align and it was in that stash of stuff I was gonna toss that I found what I needed. Guess I have to keep it all now.
nice score on the Bolt's and Nuts' I need a score like that running out of things like that .can't wait to see the Whippet running .keep up the awesome video's
This wood wheel video really helped me out. I thought I was on the right track but it's nice to have somebody that knows what he's doing confirm it. ( I'm working on Model T wheels)
Great job on the whippet wheels and a huge amount of screws and bolts you got there. The system to store them will be the most important so you can find what you need like you would normally do with a trip to the hardware store. NOW YOU are the hardware store. I am sure you find some way of figuring it out like you do everything.
Wow very generous of Joey, good people like you Jonathan attract more good people around you. Noah is going to be a busy boy alright. Nice work on the spokes btw
That wheel turned out really good! If you haven't already Jonathan, sorta like silica canisters you keep in your gun safe. Some rice tied up in some old hosiery tossed in those bins will absorb a good bit of moisture. That was really cool of buddy to offer-up that old hardware... still wish they made those metal capped cardboard box's they last a long time. I see a Metric/SAE pitch tool in Noah''s future. Thanks for posting this
you are doing some really nice work on this. My father was a machine design engineer. his first car was a 24 chevy. he told me a good wood spoke wheel is extremely tough. just look at what wagon wheels had to go through. wood has some great properties. if its not rotten.
Wow wee there is thousands of dollars worth of hardware in there. pure gold to people like you and me,just one of those 1 inch bolts are 8-10 dollars each. I am so glad he did not sell them for scrap.
oh oh, you shown your old jewels. I am jealous! Noah is lucky to have a great teacher, I hope he carries on with your legacy. Its invaluable knowledge and skill. Potential money maker. I have been a special mechanic all my life but not as skillful as you. I am very jealous. I became disabled in the army being a mechanic and it really slowed down on my physical abilities and monetary supply. It is what it is.
great find 4 sure, i sure dont envy Noah sorting all that out lol i had like 100 5 gallon buckets from a friends fathers old garage i never did get all those nuts and bolts sorted out
Great score with the hardware. Shame so much of it got wet. Except for the brass and s.s., you'll want to dry all the zinc coated bits, maybe spray them with a rust preventative. Don't want them to end up all rusted together. Noah's gonna have his hands full for a good long while. Great job on the replacement spokes.
Quite a nice donation. Those carriage bolts are pretty expensive in the stores, atm. $10-$15 per unit (not packaged; individual bolts). Nice re-stock effort. You'll never be short house building supplies, for ` several years, if not decades. Might even work for the odd car repair. Nice!
Spokes look great my friend,,, Just as good, if not better than any "woodworker" could have done....on any of their woodworking machines....And those sanding belts,,, The joint there almost always fails the older they get....That, and if they're "Non-made in USA".... Oh, and that's one killer score on the Hardware and Anvil.... Joey is a great fellow in doing that...
Was just having that discussion the other day. Hardware stores like this one don't exist any more. Went to the local "better" hardware store yesterday for some 1/2" 10-32 allen button head stainless screws. A bag of two was $2.00 and change. Given the place to store it, which is not a problem for you, that is quite the score !!!
That “dowel cutter” would actually be called a tenon cutter, as used in mortis and tenon joinery. And as you said would likely have been used in furniture making. Probably for chair and table legs. A spokeshave is what is used to shave down the sides of spokes or chair and table legs. A drawknife is often used to do the rough shaping, with a spokeshave used to do the finish shaping. Check out some of Roy Underhill’s stuff. He uses all those vintage woodworking tools. “The Woodwright’s Shop” on PBS, or he may have stuff here on YT.
Speaking of sanders, my craftsman portable belt sander started slowing down, and the motor was getting hot. I thought the motor was going south. Until I realized it wasn't the motor, it was seizing up the more I used it, to the point it almost stopped. I took it apart and found the brass bearings on the motor were gummed up with dirt, and the gears had no lubrication left; just old gobs of grease sticking to the case. I cleaned it up and re-greased it with high temp grease, cleaned the armature on the motor, and put it back together. Now it runs like I just bought it. Just FYI, Thanks, Todd.
My first one did that and it was full of smoke, when the smoke escaped it quit running!! Didn't realize they held that much smoke. This one will get the oil treatment!
Noah will be grey headed by the time he sorts all those bolts. I think there are people who rebuild spiral wound shocks like the one you were using to hold the plastic rain shield in place. thanks for the video
Joey hooked you up for life. Can't imagine you ever buying hardware again, sure was generous of him, that's worth some $$$ right there!...Awesome job on the spokes!
My grandfather had a hardware store, he had a guy come in looking for square head bolts. Found them in the basement and sold them for the price marked on the box 40 years ago.
Once more your talents have made a fine repair. I cannot help but think that Noah is one lucky apprentice. He's learning so many different skills. Joey is one great dude to give you so much neat hardware. Thanks for the video.
Jonathan. What can I say but wow what a fabulous gift some has given you 😊 That shows how popular your are on RUclips 😀 Hopefully it’ll keep you going fixing up things for a long time 👍🏻 Big thanks to Joie too 😀 Stevie 🏴
Thanks to Joey for getting all these bolts and hardware into the hands of a man who will definitely use them. So glad it wasn't scrapped. Spokes turned out very nice too. that much closer to Noah driving the Whippet.
good score there come in handy!!! great job your doing on those spokes!!!! when you go cat fishing, im thinking you should bring your rollback, so you will have something to pull it out of the water!!!!!! ha ha take care!!!!!!
I believe the EPA changed the trace amount of lead you could have in brass water fittings. Lots of brass plumbing became scrap for supply fittings. White's Hardware took a hit on some old inventory.
Man o man you sure hit the mother load this time, unbelievable it'll take some sorting but I think you won't have to hit the hardware store for sometime. Whew !
Man one day I'd love to meet you. You do a lot of good work. its awesome all the things you do. Thanks for putting videos out on all of this stuff I really appreciate it
My grand dad said he used to drive his cat out to the local crick and park it in it till the spokes swelled up enough they wouldn't rattle while driving.
Noah is going to get a real fastener education when he starts sorting all that hardware. Threads, grade, cap, hex, socket. A fine education for a young fella. That anvil was probably dropped; I don't think normal hammering would have broken the corner. It needs a new hardened steel top since all the edges are chipped. It wouldn't be much good for forming iron in it's current condition, but it's certainly salvageable for a guy with your talents.
my guess is that a lot of wood wheels were fixed buy making spokes with simple tools. I once heard an old farmer say. Those darn new fangled 6 cornered nuts. the crescent wrench keeps slipping off. great hord of hardware worth a fortune. How sad it would have been for that to go to scrap. big thanks to Joey
Ingenuity, craftsmanship and good demonstration on how to get those spokes made. Best illustrating I have seen in years. thank you!

Amazing! Thanks for sharing the journey on this car! Really makes you wonder how they made wheels back in the day!

Oh man !!! There's a lot of money in those bins !!! That's a treasure. Great job on the wheel. Can't wait to see it rollin on the Whippet.
the load of bolts has got to be a dream come true for you really happy for you.
You know it
Great Job on that whippet wheel nice and solid repair. Wow with all those nuts and bolts and fittings it will be a full time job just sorting them but great that you got them and they wont go to wait. Two thumbs up

No more running to the hardware store ..LOL.. AWESOME job on the spokes Jonathan ..ENJOYED All 3 parts ..
Really nice bolt addition to the shop. Should last You years.

Great job on the wheel,and nice haul on the hardware!
Great job on the whippet wheels and a huge amount of screws and bolts you got there.
The system to store them will be the most important so you can find what you need like you would normally do with a trip to the hardware store. NOW YOU are the hardware store.
I am sure you find some way of figuring it out like you do everything.
Man I would be in heaven to have all that hardware great score
That hardware haul is awesome. I'm a an amateur hardware hoarder myself, never throw a good nut or bolt out, ha.
Wow very generous of Joey, good people like you Jonathan attract more good people around you. Noah is going to be a busy boy alright. Nice work on the spokes btw
Very nice of. Your friend to to give you all this a lot of good stuff very good an we know they will be used keep the videos coming we love it 👍🏿💯
A kid in a candy store the right man received all those goods and will appreciate ever last one.
wow what a score on that hardware and great job on the wheeel.
That wheel turned out really good! If you haven't already Jonathan, sorta like silica canisters you keep in your gun safe.

Noah's going to start twitching & blinkin from sorting out that hardware. What a score.
Wheel turned out great. Nice score
Wow wee there is thousands of dollars worth of hardware in there.
pure gold to people like you and me,just one of those 1 inch bolts are 8-10 dollars each.

wow!!! good things happen to good people. nice
you are a real master.
You hit the jackpot on that hardware. That crap is expensive.
Great video I love old cars got a couple of Ts and As myself Seguin Texas
Great score on the hardware, just buying one rack of bins was expensive for me. Slowly adding to my collection
great find 4 sure, i sure dont envy Noah sorting all that out lol i had like 100 5 gallon buckets from a friends fathers old garage i never did get all those nuts and bolts sorted out
wow Jonathan you are in bolt and nut heaven bless your luck
Christmas came early for you! looks like you have enough bolts for a lifetime of projects there.
nice score thanx for the video

great job on the spokes, will be amazed if you ever have to run for a bolt,screw or washer again.

Oh, and that's one killer score on the Hardware and Anvil.... Joey is a great fellow in doing that...
Gave the 6.0 a work out pulling all that home awesome deal
Looks like you will not need to buy any bolts for a while !!!! good for you!
Like the old saying goes, " When a problem comes along, you must whippet". 😁
Was just having that discussion the other day. Hardware stores like this one don't exist any more.

Great video...right now l'm thinking if the local hardware don't have it - they'll probably send the customer your way

What a score on the hardware
Cant wait to see the new shoes on the old gal so she can get back on the road. : )
Noah will be grey headed by the time he sorts all those bolts. I think there are people who rebuild spiral wound shocks like the one you were using to hold the plastic rain shield in place. thanks for the video
I for one have really enjoyed watching how you made those wooden spokes. A real education. Good luck with the whippet
It's a lost art in the form of true craftsmanship. Really enjoyed seeing you make the spokes, and being thorough with the process.
Definitely scored on the hardware
Joey hooked you up for life. Can't imagine you ever buying hardware again, sure was generous of him, that's worth some $$$ right there!...Awesome job on the spokes!
A generous gift that we know you will pay forward. Couldn’t go to a nicer person!
All that hardware! Next project you’ll be running to the hardware store, because you can’t find what you need! Lol what a great score!!!!
Good looking trailer
Gone need a lot of shelfs for that lot. Have to build them strong to hold that weight. great score.
Oval shapes are easily turned on a lathe, using a "cam" and spring loaded tool.
My grandfather had a hardware store, he had a guy come in looking for square head bolts. Found them in the basement and sold them for the price marked on the box 40 years ago.
Once more your talents have made a fine repair. I cannot help but think that Noah is one lucky apprentice. He's learning so many different skills. Joey is one great dude to give you so much neat hardware. Thanks for the video.
Awesome video, love your channel brother!
Great content Jonathan !! Thank you allowing us to watch your video !! Please be safe and God bless you and your family !!!! Eddy

Good job.
Thanks to Joey for getting all these bolts and hardware into the hands of a man who will definitely use them. So glad it wasn't scrapped. Spokes turned out very nice too. that much closer to Noah driving the Whippet.
The drive wheels will have a taper on the hub end of the spoke to keep them from flexing the rim under load! Thats my best understanding!
"If it won't run - Whippet". saying from back in the day.
Oh the virtue this broheim has !!!!!!!
good score there come in handy!!! great job your doing on those spokes!!!! when you go cat fishing, im thinking you should bring your rollback, so you will have something to pull it out of the water!!!!!! ha ha take care!!!!!!
I believe the EPA changed the trace amount of lead you could have in brass water fittings. Lots of brass plumbing became scrap for supply fittings. White's Hardware took a hit on some old inventory.
Amazing
The tape that holds those belts together is pressure and heat activated. You can buy the tape on eBay and fix the belts
*When it rains bolts and fittin's, it pours... ayah, prob'lee!*
Man o man you sure hit the mother load this time, unbelievable it'll take some sorting but I think you won't have to hit the hardware store for sometime. Whew !
Man one day I'd love to meet you. You do a lot of good work. its awesome all the things you do. Thanks for putting videos out on all of this stuff I really appreciate it
So, just maybe you have some new "carriage bolts" for the Whippet wheel? Awesome!
My grand dad said he used to drive his cat out to the local crick and park it in it till the spokes swelled up enough they wouldn't rattle while driving.
I've had that problem with sanding belts that have been around for a long time.
Noah is going to get a real fastener education when he starts sorting all that hardware. Threads, grade, cap, hex, socket. A fine education for a young fella. That anvil was probably dropped; I don't think normal hammering would have broken the corner. It needs a new hardened steel top since all the edges are chipped. It wouldn't be much good for forming iron in it's current condition, but it's certainly salvageable for a guy with your talents.
We've got wheels! Looking forward to the next video.
Score! On the hardware. Nice.
Thanks.
With the inside of the belt clean, use strapping tape to mend them back together from the back side.
my guess is that a lot of wood wheels were fixed buy making spokes with simple tools. I once heard an old farmer say. Those darn new fangled 6 cornered nuts. the crescent wrench keeps slipping off. great hord of hardware worth a fortune. How sad it would have been for that to go to scrap. big thanks to Joey
Sweet!
Good place for a hardware store.
