  • With basic blacksmithing tools we can re-purpose old wagon tires in to useful racks for the home. I like to make them into firewood holders, both for the interior fireplace, and they're also useful around the campfire in the back yard.

    A mere mortal 'Smith might well have bolted that rack together and figured the slop in the joints would settle in and eliminate the wobble, but Dave showed us how to create a rack that will probably outlive that woodstove! As always Dave: thanks for allowing us along on your journey. Wishing you, Diane and your family a happy holiday season and a very Merry Christmas!

    After WWII Moore’s Blacksmith Shop, at the corner of Oak and Jackson, Red Bluff, CA, since 1910 and currently owned by the fifth generation, had wagon tire bar stock they would never use. I have a housewright or carpenter’s slick made from some of that wagon tire stock that has a beautiful socket, a great example of blacksmith’s art. Unfortunately, without a high carbon edge it’s not a great slick, but I appreciate the skill and knowing it’s history.

  • @RobbieSongwriter
    @RobbieSongwriter 2 года назад +1

    Although I love watching Dave's smithing skills, those of you suggesting he turn the rest of the tires into similar wood racks to sell, have not worked in manufacturing. What we just watched was probably AT LEAST 4 hours labor. Firewood racks go for $99 to around $300 for something more substantial. Difficult to compete with assembly line for price, except maybe for us die-hard fans. Thanks Dave for another interesting project.

    @timeflysintheshop 2 года назад +15

    You should make a custom stamp. A stylized "D.E." or maybe "Engel" that you could stamp into metal projects like that. Somewhere inconspicuous, but so your master craftsmanship will be verifiable long after you have swung your last hammer. You could heat up the stamp and use it to burn the same mark into wood projects too! Just a thought!

    • @stevesyncox9893

    I would get welded circles of mild steel made in town, 1" wide x 48-60", depending. I would use them as raw stock to make two things.
    One which was my best seller was a unit as a half circle to go against the wall, with an added brace on top to hold weight.
    Then make a bunch of single and double hooks and people used them in the kitchen to hold pots/pans, etc.
    I could get two from one circle or in your case, wheel.
    The other thing was more upmarket, (expensive) meaning chandeliers. Candle and electric. That went with chain and usually candle sconce or bulb outlets. These days, 12v lights might work. My hourly was great with these, very popular and profitable.

    I've found when spraying paint especially from a can its best to have some cardboard behind while applying so it rebounds not just blow past that's wasteful. Indeed its covers better because much of what's sprayed isn't lost and at a slight angle more lands on the material like a wind brake. The siloquette it leaves also lets you know what's not missed especially when the paint and what its applied to are close in color like black over red rust-primer.
