  • This 1,018 pound wagon wheel will be turned into a chandelier. This is the final building process, including hot setting a 553 pound steel tire in an open fire. This wheel is made using a red oak hub and ash for the spokes and felloes. The Borax rear wheels weighed 1,080 pounds, but used a white oak hub and red oak spokes and felloes. The overall dimensions however are the same. The steel tire is 1" inch thick and 8" wide.

    Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos. Since I use a large number of these, I do keep them in stock. An email to dave@engelscoachshop.com will get you a list of available sizes and pricing.
    In response to a number of requests for the tools and supplies I use here in the shop, I have compiled a list as an Amazon Associate. I have used Makita tools for almost 40 years, but am not sponsored by, nor endorsed by Makita. Perhaps this list will be of service to you as viewers, as well as provide a means to help support this channel.
    These are not cheap, home improvement tools. I use tools hard so I use high quality tools. These prove to be less expensive in the long run.

    What I specifically admired about you in building this wagon wheel is the fact that even though you knew it would never be used as an actual wagon wheel, you built it to the highest standards that you would had it been going on a heavy wagon. That sir, is was a true craftsman would do. I am in awe of your skills, and at 73 years of age I'm still learning all the time. Thank you for a fabulous video.

      @Telleva You have no idea what you are talking about. The large metal tire was heated so that it would contract tightly around the wheel and keep it tight.

    • @jtc1091
      @jtc1091 2 года назад +2

      @Telleva the wood chips are used to hold the wooden wheel sections in alignment during assembly and to hold it all together in one piece before the metal wheel is installed. No glues or adhesives are ever used. Just friction and the principles of expansion and contraction.

    I'm in awe. I grew up down the street from a working blacksmith shop . Alec Campbell was his name. He passed in 1971 at about 78 years old, still ran the shop as a hobby till the very day his heart gave out on the walk home for lunch. Building and repairing wheels of all sorts was a major part of his work. I wish I had been a little bit older to fully appreciate his craft. Thanks for sharing sir.

It would be a crying shame if your skills left with your passing and were lost to time. What you have is a knowledge that a very few possess, and I pray that there is someone out there that is saving them by learning them from your and others that still have them.

    I've done the wiring on hundreds of genuine and knock off wheels for Comb's Rustics here in Oklahoma. I actually took some of your techniques and built my own Chandelier out of pallet lumber. Using a torch to "antique" it and then putting metal rustic scenes on it. It came out pretty convincing. One thing I can tell you is when it sold for $1400, I haven't done it again! I don't know how many hours I actually spent on it.

    A 1 thousand pound chandaleer. What every rich Californian moving to Montana needs hanging in their "Great Room" so their LA friends can see how successful the new Montana ranch life style has become. But I guess they provide jobs for old time wheelwrights now that oxen driven wagons are a thing of the past. Gotta love them durn California folks, inadvertently providing work for hardworking craftsmen and women in our state, where otherwise $$ would be scarse and natives would have to ranch and live on venison and canned garden produce to get through the winter months. Bring on more more rich folks from Commiefornia.

    Kind regards from Panama, I have learned a lot from your video, here in Panama, many years ago the peasants used wooden carts pulled by two oxen (domesticated bulls), which used wheels very similar to the one you make, only they were a Little more small and thin and honestly I had no idea how they were made, excellent video are you an artist ... hopefully the new generations learn and continue doing beautiful work ...

    Simply stunning.
    I can just imagine a house worthy of these as chandeliers.
