A true work of art! Years ago I set out to make a pair of wooden wheels for a small cart to sell my cinnamon rolls and cheesecakes and documenting myself with countless videos such as those of Mr. Steve I could, although with the limitations that few tools give, making a splendid pair of wheels of wood that are my pride. Thanks to people like Mr. Steve, individuals like me can manage to make things that in other times would have been impossible to do ... Greetings from distant Venezuela.

I really enjoyed watching this. That is simply amazing to see it from start to finish and equally amazing craftsmanship involved. Bravo sir, Bravo.

Thanks for showing us how you make a wheel, fantastic!!!

Brilliant ! You can always judge great Skill by how much is measured by Eye. He's an absolute Artist.

Прикинь сколько работы , а ведь наши деды и прадеды всё это вручную делали. Оно конечно такими станками сподручнее , да и кузница ненужна. А так классная работа.😊👍👏👏👏

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge this way. I'm sure he is very proud.

Beautiful work at something I'm sure is a dying art. Nice you're keeping it alive, I only hope you can pass it on to the next generation.

Absolutely fab video, I love how the outer steel ring is fitted. I work in engineering...we have lasers and gauges etc...you have a wheel, a pencil, and a fire.

I never thought that it is not so simple with the manufacture of the wheel. Great job.

Well, you are blessed sir ! Nice work, thanks for the video !

Браво .белой завистью завидую мастеру.

Well done my friend, loved watching all the techniques and measurements

What an amazing thing. I am sure you are proud to have mastered all these skills. Ten out of Ten from me.

thats awesome, true craftsmanship. great video

An interesting video, I really enjoyed watching the process of making a wooden wheel ❤

Well that was a great pleasure to watch,very interesting,and so good to see the old tools being used,not a drop of glue ,thanks for the video

Genius! You, my friend, are a master at your art. Great video.

Very cool. Due to time constraints I watched almost every minute before heading out to work. You really inspired me to take into consideration the finer things. Usually I end up slapping stuff together to make it work. This however was fine work and I'm sure you're aware very meticulous. I wish to be more like this in the future. Thank you for sharing your work and passing on some of the knowledge of the craft. Fantastic Work!!

It's a masterpiece and it took so much work! Congratulations from Brazil!

Very Impressed ! My Gr Gr Grandfather was a wheelwright in the 1800s he started in Germany and continued his craft in Philadelphia . Best of luck to you enjoyed watching your video

Мой дед Иван такие колёса делал но всё вручную ты вернул меня в далёкое детство спасибо тебе мужик удачи и здоровья будь счастлив

Bloody brilliant! Great looking wheels.

Fantastic to watch such craftsmanship “ superb “ 👍👍

Magnifique travail sincères compliments venant de France !!!

What gets my attention the most is steel bed, the fitting with after there is no retainer to prevent slip. That is a an about science to know the heat/cold expansion and contraction of steel. Then it reminds me how concerned the handlers of such systems must of been with road conditions. I think they adapted slip pins or belts. Excellent video and workmanship, I agree.

A great video and superb workmanship! The only thing that bothered me was your having to use pliers on the trammel point. Aside from a set of trammel points, this was perfect. Love the measure in place for the final felloe. A true and perfect fit, I have to salute that.Good job and well done.

Аж заворожили, на одном дыхании просмотрел.Красиво сработано...Респект Мастеру!!!

you make it look easy but i know it isn't !!! tons of skill thanks for sharing

This is such beautiful work....great job. I have worked in other artisan professions that use the same techniques and understanding of the physics of the materials that you used...outstanding!

Dear Steve, what was amazing was how precisely all the components slipped together. No gaps. I guess the old adage: Measure once, measure twice and measure once again is what gave you a perfect fit. Magnificent craftsmanship. Every piece of the job went through a specific machine with jigs designed for the one job. It would be nice to have the shed space and equipment to set up similar work production schedules to make runs of whatever. All the best and thanks for sharing your craft.

Now that was interesting! "you just don't see the epitome of this sort of work anymore."

Beautiful work. This was done like it was done 100 years ago, and with the same tools. Memorizing to watch.

AH! Piece of cake. Think I trot out to my shop and toss a couple together this evening. NOT! Good grief, what expertise, attention to detail and precision. Definitely excellent workmanship and product.

Excellent and I enjoyed the education

Great to see outstanding craftsmanship in action. Superb.

Great..Learnt a lot there..Good honest graft!

I can't believe it. I've actually seen a spoke shave being used on an actual spoke ! The attention to detail is mesmerising, and a complete joy to watch. Do you do courses where you teach people how to do this ? I'm not talking huge wheels like these, but maybe 6 spoke wheels about 2 ft in diameter for use on a toy that people got to make and take away with them. If not..... would you consider it if there was enough call for it please ?

Amazing. Beautiful work.

Beautiful!

لولا رجال امثالك لانقرض مثل هدا العمل . وهدا الفن والاتقان اجيال اليوم لا تقدر هدا العمل الرائع

Wow what an artist. In the Great American Desert [Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona etc] wooden spokes [especially light weight spokes] would dry and shrink - loosen and eventually fall apart. One tool cowboys used in the past was water. The loose wagon wheels would be left on the wagon while standing in a pond, creek lake etc. The wagon was pulled to expose all spokes to the water and after a few hours the wheel spokes would tighten. Wet rags could also be tied on the spoke at the rim and rewetting gave the same results. Some of the buggy wheels [especially with thin narrow tires - perhaps iron clad then rubber capped] gave remarkably smooth rides on trails that would shake the innards out of a modern vehicle [but at a much slower pace]. These thin tires slipped past [around rocks and ruts] and the leather straps and springs on the axles worked much like the electronic suspensions on modern supercars except at a much reduced cost and at a repair it in the barn at the blacksmith's rate [25 cents/hour?]. Thanks for this post be safe and conservative.

True craftsmanship!

Nice work dude and cool tools

This is more than art. Greetings sir

2:13 and over here we have Gothmog, the eater of hands. There aren't many tools I fear but shapers are scary and that is one scary ass shaper. Very cool process video. Thanks for posting.

I love the old ways, and though I come to it a bit later in my life, I will do what I can to learn so it is not lost. Thank you for teaching me.

So you leave a lip of the steel tire over the surrounding edge of the felloes. That keeps chipping and water away from the wood? I like the outside radius-camber of the metal tire; gives the finished work a certain charm and dynamic. Thanks

Excelente trabajo, te felicito.

what fantastic craftsmanship

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuu Amazing job.....beauty....excellent. I love it

Incredible. I want one

Simplemente, hermoso trabajo gracias por su dedicación.De muy pequeño muy amante de la herramienta INGLESA q herede de mis padres, prensas Marples, destornilladores éxit- proof,también de la línea Marples de remate Dios me trajo al mundo, colindante con un gran cementerio de trenes de fabricación INGLESA en mi natal ORURO BOLIVIA gracias por su paciencia...q Dios lo bendiga.

This its an honor, plus there is not many that takes pride on what made America great...blessings i send and my peace in Jesus name

you should also make ships wheels, great job

Perfect and wonderfull idea you shared

The Master wright craftsman designed the wheel, and made his own precision tools, for accurate mass production. Thanks

I live in Lancaster, PA, the Amish couldn't do better. The most complex wooden wheel I saw was a single hub tandom wheel with wooden spokes offset like a bicycle wheel it was only about 18 inches in diameter but could handle 2 tons it was for a lowboy heavy duty work wagon with a team of 4 horses to draw it. And yes, the Amish use all power tools.

Very nice craftsmanship.

Really excelente ! a joy to watch ! God Bless you !

السلام عليكم اشكرك على هدا العمل الرائع والمتقن شكرا جزيلا

Good job!!!

Fun to watch !

Все гениальное просто!

Wonderful. You are very talented.

Very informative I am in the process of making 5 car wheels at the moment on Metal rims . That will be 60 spokes plus for mistakes. I had a practice with pine spokes as a trial may use them on a wooden rim

SKILLFUL MINDS MAKE THINGS BETTER ... CONGRATS

Das ist ja sehr schön das noch mal zu sehen ,bei uns sagte man der Stellmacher .
