A 12 Foot Logging Wheel Rebuild Begins | Engels Coach Shop

- Logging wheels were built in 10 and 12 foot diameters. This is a 12 foot wheel that needs a total rebuild and picking out a log that will hopefully work for the hub. It's a long process, but we have to start somewhere. Thanks for being a part of the process.

Blue sky, nice weather, a little bit snow and a lot to do. Thats life at its best. Thanks for taking me along.
I'll say it again: here's a man that's not afraid hard work! Take care of that back, Dave.
Looking forward to seeing the 12ft. wheel build, Dave. I'm an 81 year old man living in San Diego, CA who loves your very interesting and precise videos on your channel !!
You can tell the boys in that family were raised right, not standing around on their phones, while you were taking down the wheel they were involved or if not they were observing, not getting in the way, on putting themselves in danger. Once there was work to do they just got to work. Kudos to the young men, and the families that raised them!
A 12’ wheel eh?
What would a 12’ wheel have been used on?
Cheers from Tokyo!
Yes, they are a great family. A log cart.
I was amazed that this thin tyre band did not fold in on itself! It must have been delicate to put on in the first place.
Of course the wheel is in the best possible hands with you and of course we’re going to watch!
Saying it's going to be fun building a 12' takes on a whole new meaning.
What a story the lives of the family on the farm in Sheridan, Montana would make! Mostly boys, assumed to be brothers, working together to get-r-done. I'd bet they were drawing straws or playing rock-paper-sissors to see who got to drive the bobcat. It was a real treat watching them work. Thanks, Dave, for a brief look at another part of life in Montana. Looking forward to the resurrected wheel!
You're a hard-working man, Dave !! You would put to shame, men who are half your age !! Thanks for sharing and God Bless you and your entire family !!
I have to go outside to repair my old 743 Bobcat, but I would rather watch you work than actually work myself.
Watching you muck that wood brought me back to the 60's when I was a teenager on our apple ranch in Washington. Dad systematically took out the Old trees to replant. We heated with wood so guess who got to pick up and stack firewood... Not complaining... it was just work that needed to be done. Just a great time to be alive.
Have been enjoying your work since the Borax wagon days and haven't missed a video. Thanks, Dave, for the many hours of fun seeing you work your magic. Take care and stat warm...
Russ
Yeah, nothing left of the old wheel except memories and dimensions. That's more than enough for you.
Thanks for sharing. 👍🇺🇲
You know you're in Montana when every kid can drive a Bobcat.
I have been heating with wood for 48 years and I can’t tell you how many times I move that wood before it makes its final journey into the wood stove. I wouldn’t have it any other way.😊
There is an old expression in German, translated to "Wood makes you three times warm". Cut, split, burn. Some adapt and add to that expression for multiple moves. :).
You also have to take the ashes out
@@wirenutjoe Yep. Lots of add ons.
Don’t forget resharpening the dang chain when I hit the deck with the blade. 😂
I miss heating with wood. Just not cold enough here. Splitting wood and bucking hay are two honest jobs.
Here we go again, OH BOY OH BOY !! At least we know that you have something to keep you busy, as if you needed to be kept busy. Watching you and Diane keeps us busy because it always teaches us something. Stay safe and we will be here watching your next video. Fred.
Envying you doing the kind of physical work I relish out and about on my property. I've overdone it and torn my left rotator cuff this year, so I've had to really back off measurably to let the inflammation become tolerable. At 67, I'm just still too young to be so dang sedentary, but at the moment, there's just no choice.
Hopefully in 2024, I'll be able to resume some of the things I enjoy doing!
Meanwhile, I'll watch you! 😅
By the time you burn that fire wood it will have warmed you three or four times Dave. Looking forward to following this build.
Looks like someone wants to make certain they have the biggest wheel on the block.
A big log wheel like this sure makes for a distinctive marker for their ranch.
Looking forward to watching this total build.
Well, that was handy; you didn’t have to take it apart!
It’s amazing how much easier the 2nd one is after you’ve figured it out on the 1st one. I’m sure the SIZE is still a challenge. Great job.
Hello to Dave and Diane!
I normally don't comment on your videos because so many others say what I'm thinking in much fewer words. 😊
I have to call this up. Between 11:22 and 11:25 of this video, does anyone else see a beautiful presentation of a "dragon" on the end of the log that Dave wipes the snow from?
Love the videos, Dave. Especially the way your music and your style of presentation keeps me mesmerized.
Thanks to both of you.
Wow, That is pretty neat. Good call.
I think I can see it.
I'm recovering from a knee replacement , Dave your projects and jobs I've saved over the years have been a great help . Your outdoor projects particularly. As usual I look forward to your next offering 👍🇬🇧
Stephen,
Good luck and best wishes for a good outcome with your knee surgery.
Like you, I look forward to the Very Big Wheel Project!
RL Buffalo, NY 🇺🇸
@@rlewis1946 thank you .
Dave, you have the "back" and stamina of a French Legionnaire !
I too move heavy logs every year but, pay the price with my advanced arthritis...... one day of work like that and at the least 3 days to recover......lol
Love your show !
I had a whole moment of.. why not just move the trailer to the final dump spot and handle the wood once.
Then it dawned on me how fun driving the Bobcat would be. Sometimes it’s about playing with the toys.
You outsmarted me again! 😂
Looking forward to seeing the 12 foot wheel project.
That was a hazard just hanging there. Good thing you got it down. I look forward to the rebuild. Rick in east TN
You’re a true man of all trades, Dave. Hi Dianne!
Hi!
When life gets on top of me a bit just viewing one of your videos chills me out and helps me put things into perspective. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your channel.
Hi Dave, and Diane, just when I thought that you were working on the biggest wheels ever. Looking forward to that hub turning on the lathe. Also wondering if this will max out the shop ceiling height. Thank you for sharing, and take care.
I went to grade school in Sheridan. Back in the 70s. Great little town!
Looking forward to this new project. But then again I enjoy all the projects that you work on.
Your strength and stamina is admirable
He's only 70 🙃
Excellent! A 12’ wagon wheel project. Really looking forward to that. Having to replace everything on the old wheel, in essence, means you are simply going to build a new 12’ wheel. Doesn’t it? It’s a bit like my old broom which has had 3 new brush heads and 2 new shafts! Looking forward to the tyres going onto the 10’ wheels.
Tire will be almost 39 feet in length!! WOWZER!!
Dave, The ten foot wheels just were not challenging enough? ... Good luck recreating that 12 foot wheel. Just hope Paul Bunyan and Babe don't show up with their logging wheels for repair!
Looks fun. Maybe next go for the guiness world record for largest wooden wheel! What's it for? Human imagination and art.
This is my grandfather's logging wheel, it has had three new rims, two new sets of spokes and fellows and a new hub, this is my grandfather's logging wheel.
Do you mean the wheel in the video?
Just when you thought you were done with wheels...! I'll bet the family was surprised when the wheel just fell apart like that. Hopefully there will be enough intact pieces to make good patterns for the replacements.
Anyone else wonder why he didn't move the trailer closer to the dump pile? 🤔
Why! Looked like a great day to doodle about perhaps mr Engle likes taking life at his pace which is just fun getting his toys out. Boy's will be boy's
See anything with which to move the loaded 5th wheel trailer ? Looks like he's driving his Jeep ........
Building a 12 foot diameter wheel... Daves idea of a fun project. Moving tons of firewood...Daves idea of a little workout. If NASA had his work ethic ,we would have been on mars years ago
I was very impressed with the way those young men went after getting that wheel pulled apart. They obviously used to pitching in on a project. This will be another interesting project when it comes along.
I never knew that big of wheels even existed around this area until I started watching your channel. Very cool, looking forward to the new build!
I still love everything you do, exclusively because of the way you do it!
( I do wish, that I would have known 40 years ago, that what you do, was actually something someone could do for a living !)
I hope that makes sense.
👍👍❤️
If you ever find yourself in Topeka, KS you should visit the Kansas Museum of History. Among their other very fine displays and items they have the largest wooden spoke wheel I have ever seen. It's been many years since I was there, but as I remember it was a 14 foot (diameter) freight wagon wheel.
I had a chance to go there when I traveling through, awesome museum! I really love that old santa fe steam locomotive they have
Those shed projects proving handy now its cooling down.. Some time over the winter I'd be really interested in how well your geothermal water tank works out. Great projects All of them and so much interest from around the world !!
Hello Dave and Dianne, Talking about big wheels...there used to be a set of wheels that were 15 to 16 feet tall, a quarter mile south of the Supermax Prison in Florence, Colorado. They had axles between both sets and can be seen on Google Earth. The fellows were two feet wide. A man in Florence told me they belonged to CF and I Steel back in the day. The area was mined for coal.
My Great Grandfather was the doctor that settled in Wetmore Colorado in 1879, and we've been driving by those huge wooden wheels for a longggg time. I've always wondered what their true original purpose was. Thanks for rattleing the memory.
even though i know it means Dave is going to give it a new life, watching that wheel crumble as it came down broke my heart a little .. "DC" in Augusta Georgia
The only way for that wheel to come down in one piece would have been to build a scaffold frame around it to keep everything in place before moving it. The bottom was already partly collapsed. But hindsight is always 20/20. At least it's not a 2000 year old Roman ship.
I can't wait to see you toss that log on your lathe. Turning that is gonna be epic!
So this new wheel project will be worked on when you get a-round to it? …. 😮
Nice place in Sheridan! When it's time, looking forward to that 12 foot wheel project! Cheers to you and the Mrs!
I see you got some snow there. I had 93F here this afternoon. I sure don't miss the cold weather on these old bones!
I'm looking forward to your plans for the hotel/apartments winter project. Anyway, thanks for the video. 👍👍👍
Great video, thanks for sharing. Hard work! I cannot wait to see the 12 footer come back to life!
Enjoy life to the max in good health. Keep showing what you do and like.👍🏻🇳🇱
Dave you are tough guy. the older you get, the bigger the wheels. I am looking forward to this projekt.
My buddy got out of Montana for the winter just in time. Thanks for the weather update. Firewood. Heats you up when you cut it, when you stack it and when you use it.
Ya forgot....when you split it😊
Looking forward to seeing the wheel project. I can't say enough about the beautiful landscape you have there in Montana. Stay safe.
Keep thinking how I can build a wheel, most adventurous I've been so far is my 1mtr tall thumbnail image. Here you are with a 12ft wheel, I'm running out of excuses 😀
"It'll be fun to do a twelve foot wheel." - a.k.a. Glutton for punishment! :)
Ha! I'm from Sheridan. Grew up in the Ruby Valley right near Laurin. Never thought I'd see my little town on your channel.
At least you didn't have to worry about those "buzz worms" as you worked through those rounds;-) I look forward to the 12' wheel rebuild.
I know you don't like building wheels anymore but it sure is fun to watch!
Humpty Dumpy had a great fall and Dave will put humpty bac together again..
When I get old(er), I hope I'm as young as Dave!
Call me lazy, but I get the Bobcat first and toss the wood into the bucket from the trailer instead of onto the ground, then picking it up to put in the bucket. 😊
Oooooh.... my heart just broke when that wheel 🛞 broke 💔
I expected the wheel to come apart from age while being taken down. It still is a shame.
What do you need on a big ranch? Strong (and willing) boys.
Nice to see a group of keen, young helpers getting that wheel down. It made me wonder if there’s a potential apprentice among them, wanting to learn the wheelwright trade? Just sayin’.....
I love these videos.
Can't wait to watch that project! Biggest wheel I've seen.
So happy to hear of another wheel project! 12' wow!
Great project, it will be fun to watch you put back up when completed
I'm looking forward to seeing you build that 12 foot wheel.
Boa noite Sr. Dave e dona Diane, esse novo projeto, acho que para depois do verão de 2024, para depois que o tronco secar sera um sucesso, vou fazer questão de seguir passo a passo e tenho certeza que será um projeto maravilhoso. Mãos à obra.
Another great project eagerly anticipated. Can't wait to see this rebuild. Thanks.
That would be awesome 12 feat wheel even bigger wheel it will be very interested.
I can’t wait to see this new build!
Bet those trailer tires feel better now.
That was going to happen anyhow, but at least you got to see it in one piece first.
Well they say go big or go home! I’d say 12’ wheel is big! Can’t wait to see it. ✌🏻❤️🇺🇸
There's bigger. Not much, but bigger. 16' is about as big as I've heard. 20s would be real ghetto.
The massive wheel madness continues! I guess the last project coming to an end got that old bug itching again. 🙂
Looking forward to this total rebuild. Maybe the hub can be saved? Will this be a functional wheel again, or for decoration like before?
I suppose it doesn't matter, it needs to be stable and stand under its own weight for decades no matter what it's used for.
Some of those logs are gonna be a real BEAR to split! But that's a nice load of firewood!
Youre a hard working Auld Divil

It didn’t fall apart, it experienced rapid unscheduled disassembly.
É impressionante " Dave " , você tem aquela loja equipada com todo tipo de ferramentas maravilhosas . E de quebra ainda lá fora tem uns pesos pesado prá te auxiliar .Você só não fáz chover , más se demorar mais um tempo você vai fazer isso tambem .Eu vou ficar esperando a sua ideia genial , não esqueça de fazer um video .🍓🍇🍒✨🐈🇧🇷
I might have moved the trailer over to the dump site instead of running those two machines, but I don't have those two machines to run. I find a pulp hook is a very handy and back saving tool for moving chunk wood. Thanks for sharing the video!
A 12’ wheel should be very interesting not to mention how much work just maneuvering it around your shop it will be.
I wonder if there’s a kit available for a stand for a 12’ wheel like the one you “bought” for the 10’ wheels. 😉
Dave, as always another interesting video of your mid week projects
Glad you has some help with the wheel. I was impressed by the young man willing to give a hand.
That's one gnarly-looking tractor. Looks like something you'd find in a horror movie.
You said a 12 footer ... I just smiled .... getting a bigger shop, are ya ??
A lot of 20 year olds couldn't do that much physical labor cutting and moving logs.
👍🏻. BTW. Have you ever considered using protective gear when using the chainsaw? If it kicks back the risk of it cutting a big gash in one of your legs is considerable. And it looks to me that it will take a while for the paramedics to reach you where you are, if you could make the call, alone as you seems to be out there. Take care.
You are going to need a bigger shop!
Living the dream, can't wait...Thank you
Excellent!!!
Looking forward to another wheel build !!!
Great! Looking forward to it. Thanks.
Wow that's going to be a great project. 👍👍👍
Looking so forward to this build!
Once again thanks for the video.
Friend, count yourself lucky that you can still bend over and sling firewood . I would be at the mercy of the youngsters to keep my wood stove full. I used to cut 5 to 10 cords to heat our house/cabin. And cut up to 100 more cords to service the town. We provided free firewood to the elderly and poor families.
And that’s how you fit a 12’ wheel on a 8’ flatbed.
With 2' of over hang on both sides and wide load signs front and rear.
