- These final steps are making sure all 60 joints in these wheels are correct, so when the tire is set, all 60 joints are tight. These Holt logging wheels are more challenging than most wheels, but they're coming together nicely. Thanks for coming along!

Putting that tire on and getting that thing out the door...🚪
That's going to be a real treat!🍦
I wonder how many people he is going to need to help with the tire
I imagine the tire's going to be installed _outside_ (like the borax wagon wheels.
@@jimurrata6785for sure. No other way.
This 10 ft. wheel is truly a magnified version of a wagon wheel. You have a big job yet to get these tires set. and I assume you still have another hub and bunch of wood to put together. and will you be able to perform the heating and mating or setting, let alone the moving and where to put this wheel or ship it. But I'm proud you don't get ahead of the deal and try to explain all that you just explain what is the problem for this week. Thanks Dave for your courageous spirit.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who watches you and is amazed at the craftsmanship of your work. It blows my mind how easy you make it look. I enjoy you giving use a history lesson on how things where made back in the day and how you do things the same way as the craft men of over a century and a half are more. Just amazing. Thank you for you videos and your lessons
This is called highly skilled and backed with many years experience. You don't learn this type of work from a manual, you live it.
And when this one is finished you get to do it all over again. That should keep you busy right up to Thanksgiving!
The second one is going to go faster due to the lessons learned from the first one.
Or beyond
What incredible craftsmanship. Thank you.
One of the best feelings in the world, is building something, and feeling proud of it. I hope you are feeling this as the work is fantastic.
This was magical, I enjoyed it so much, greetings from Serbia!
Your detailed explanation of each piece with each minor adjustment reminds me so much of other devices. I don't know if you have an engineering degree but you talk like a mechanical engineer. My uncle designed bridges and drew the plans for them. His brother was a foundry supervisor and knew everything about industrial metal work. My dad was a supervisor at U.S. Steel. Their uncle was a civil engineer for the railroad. Together, they could tell you anything you wanted to know about construction using metal. Your details remind me so much of the way they used to explain things to me when I was a kid. Maybe that's why your videos are so fascinating to watch. Thanks!
You really have to admire the technology developed for these big wheels as well as the small ones.. we are so blinded by modern technology slickness that i don't think many can appreciate the old ways and how beautiful they are. Not to mention how Mr Engels skills and talents come to bare with building these marvelous wheels ..very impressive work ..
Thats a truly colossal job.
The small adjustments show up clearly on the video. NICELY FILMED !
*- Thank you for saying so well what I was thinking.*
*- Dave's deft explanations helped us all to grasp how difficult and complex this job is.*
Endeavor to persevere...very, very cool!
Undoubtedly, definitely, this is a unique masterpiece of arts and engineering. Thanks
One man, working carefully, accomplishes huge job. Well done.
Looking forward to seeing the tire put on.
The suspense! You left it as a cliffhanger... Will the tire fit? Can't wait for the next episode! 💖🌞🌵😷
With the steel wheel being oversized, and the precision build of the wood wheel; he controls the final diameter almost exactly.
@@JF-fx2qv, awww SPOILER ALERT! No seriously... I'm sure he'll make it perfectly. But, what I'm having a hard time waiting to know is will he have to cut out that bad weld and add another piece or will he just cut it out completely (as this tire was some bigger in circumference than the other one)? Guess we'll just have to wait. Sending lots of 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourselves 😷.
Simply amazing!
Let's hope, there will be women or men beeing able, to do a job like this in 50 years!
I fear, beeing also in my 60s now, there will be so many skills lost and always wonder, how we can hand the torch of true craftsmanship over to a younger generation.
Your videos have a calming effect for me in this insane world. Thank you for that brother 👍
Never a hint of maybe, an absolute craftsman.
That fine dance between allowing it to go in (fit) keeping the whole wheel tight and round, and all the faces meeting flush. That's a fine act!
Looking fine! It's no longer just a wheel... Rather it has become a work of art.
I too am impressed by the way the wheel aligned, and also by your craftsmanship in building this monster wheel. Well done sir!
That is a master's work! To see it turn for the first time. I love watching you work and how you work things out. I learn a lot from your techniques of hand working and your thought process.....................
I just wonder how many people exist in the world that possess this gentleman's level of knowledge and skill.
Man that wheel is just beautiful. I can only imagine what it will look like after you get the bolts in, the iron on, and coat it in linseed oil. Wow that's gonna be gorgeous
Well dave all the problems you have sorted out on this wheel wiil make the next one a bit easier.
Great to see the wheel in its nearly finished state 👍👍
Hey Dave, just HAD to watch this episode again.
I know, I'm confident your got it all lined up, but as you so rightly point out - you gotta take your time and make double sure everything is true and lined up !!
Yeah, me too.
Capolavoro!
No surprise to me that everything stayed aligned without the clamps.
You're a genuine, true craftsman.
After working with wood in many forms through my life, i know the accuracy and experience required to get so many joints lined up.
I can't think of anyone else who would begin to come close.
I have had a hand in building a wheel in the early 90s when Phil from the UK tv program Time Team came to the college i was attending during my apprenticeship and i remember the difficulties we had getting everything right, even as pretty experienced machinists!
The college was excellent, it taught many "old" skills like wood turning, blacksmithing, upholstery etc.
I was attending to further my turning and veneering/marquetry.
A pleasure to watch your progress and learn from your experience.
Thanks for sharing!
I feel it as a great privilege to be given such an insight to this discipline through the eyes of one with so much experience, (the 10000 hours thing) my warmest thanks to you. Paul, Johannesburg
It really helps to know what your doing, don't it? It sort comes down to the last couple of joints and how they line up. You certainly nailed it. Can't wait to watch you place the tire.
I watched and "followed along", but what is readily apparent is all the year's of your experience cannot be easily transferred, even in an exceptional video! One must make their own firewood! Thanks for making the superb videos and taking the time to explain your process, even though patience is inexplicable.
What a impressive wheel that is! Thank you for true entertainment via excellent craftsmanship!
Hi Dave. No doubt in everyones' mind things will be spot on for the tyre fitting. Many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK.
Amazing is not a good description Dave I’m at a loss for words. You are the best.
Looks to me that these two wheels are the biggest wheel’s made since the 1800’s.👍
Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail, I'm impressed with the final finessing to achieve an accurate fit.👍😏🇬🇧
Two cuts plus two cuts plus three cuts. Yup! Six cuts! lol
What a very interesting process, I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Another lesson in patience and application of skill, knowledge and IQ.
You are wonderful craftsman and a excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Thank you so much taking on this project! This project really helps understanding the process of making the buggy and wagon wheels. It's like seeing it under a magnifying glass. I'm really glad for this opportunity and can't wait to see this tire go on. I forget to think in 3D, how each felloe can tilt along so many axis and has to be controlled.
who would have thought that wheelwrighting is heavy industry. brilliant video Dave, the complexity that you handle so simply on a wheel of this size is to be admired. I hope the owners and users of these beasts of wheels recognise and appreciate the effort skill and knowledge your abilities.
Absolutely brilliant workmanship as for the gaps that is what I call "coming from experience" which you have loads of. As for the 2+2+3 equaling 6 at about 11:40 well I will leave that up to you🤣🤣🤣
Love your work. I built a cannon about 23 years ago. Not functional just a replica. I am in the process of restoring it. Your videos help a lot.
I was waiting for the bit where you removed the clamps. Thinking about it there should be nowhere for the fellies to move to but seeing it really was very pleasing. Great job.
As my Dear Old Dad used to say, “It’ll do.” He was a fan of adequacy rather than perfection. The former is easier than the latter. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
Perfection is a tempting but impossible goal, of course. I prefer to aim for excellence, and sometimes that means not wasting resources on things that aren't worth it, so adequacy sounds like a great idea for everyday work.
Same as below, can't wait to see the vid of the tyre going onto these weels that are even bigger than the borax ones 🙂. Impressive skills!!
I, too, am impressed! Not many people know what you do about the engineering and structural dynamics of wheels and such.
I'm impressed that you not only know and understand all that, but you also know how to apply that knowledge and make it work!
Well done, Dave!!
All that knowledge is beyond me, but I love your explanations and watching you apply stuff I'll never understand! I never knew making wheels was so involved.
Never knew building a wheel could be so interesting to watch.
WATCHed in Ohio as Rock Mill Ohios oldest grain mil the wheel was mounted on core constructed from 4 N Hamp tree cores..and slowly but surely each piece was woodenly tapped into place.. within 3 hours the entire wheel IN location was finished.. and it ran well!
Another absolutely fantastic example of a skilled professional at work. The contribution you make to the wheelrights craft is beyond compare Dave.
Stay safe and well.
Watching you build these mammoth wheels helps me so much with normal sized wheels. Thanks so much.
*- Dave, your deft explanations about the complex engineering physics at play with this and other wheel designs {the part about how the "dish would increase on other type wheels, for example} brought great insight to me.*
*- Without the compression "give" of wood, aligning wheels would be impossible.*
*- Imagine the constant "clattering" sound from all of of the joints, and slop and wheel weakness, that would be inherent if rigid plastic or metal were used!*
I never lost sight of the fact you had 60 joints to calculate and join. Your experience paid dividends on this project. 🙂 👍👍👍
Such a pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work. Thank you for sharing
The skills that you demonstrate, describe craftsman. It's amazing how much knowledge the old Wheel Wright's had to have to accomplish what they did on such a large wheel. And they had far fewer power tools to help them. I'm curious; did more than one man work on such a large wheel and how long would such a project take? Thanks again Dave, for what you do.
It all depended on the shop. When Holt originally produced these wheels there was undoubtedly an assembly line approach. And their plant would have been full of liine shaft driven power tools. At the time these wheels were produced machine cut millwork was readily available in lumber yards. Even intricate wood window sashes were 95% machine made.
But when it came to field repairs it was likely done by one man with help as needed. Just like logging outfits today, there is usually a maintenance team that takes care of equipment maintenance and repair. For sure at that time the team would include a man skilled in the wheel wright trades.
@@truracer20Thank you.
Fantastic, I hope at some point after your finished we get to see it rigged up with team and a log slung under it! Really fantastic work.
All your previous experiences are making this project looks somewhat simple. Well done.
Thanks for sharing.....I never get tired of watching your videos.....very educational and entertaining
What an accomplishment! I am impressed. You are truly a craftsman.
Dave, amazing wheels. Any possibility of seeing these in action in a future video? Would love to to see them in work.
I’d like to see them at work
I think they are for a museum not for a working piece of equipment.
I share your satisfaction in your progress thus far. Beautiful work on a large scale. Just subscribed. Thanks.
The thing I’m looking forward to is getting the wheels out of the shop and to the client.
Your work was highlighted in Patrick Sullivan’s pyramid video!,
This series has been a great learning experience, love it!!!!!
Is it possible that I could have a link please?
So I've been sitting here thinking those splines look awfully dang thin to keep things lined up. Then I remind myself of much smaller bits of wood messing up alignments on my projects - so you should be good. And you were! :^)
fantastic love watching you out work and the wheel you are doing now is amazing the tyre is going to be wow to watch
Flippin' heck ...!! Incredible ...
I saw the start video, but missed everything since ... WOW!
There is a Playlist if you want to see the rest.
Being a wheelwright is more of an art.
Dave,
I doubt that the original manufacturer was as concerned about the fit-up as you are. Your craftsmanship is exceptional. All the best.
I wonder how heavy these are finished. Truly a master craftsman Sir!
I'm just amazed speechless, Dave.
The wheel is looking great, NICE WORK
Ah, Yes! The famous cliffhanger ending! You know we’d all be back anyway, Dave! Thanks for sharing your expertise. 😊
Mind blown
Do you ever teach anyone so your art is not lost ? You do such a wonderful job 👏
That’s the point of this video library Dave has put together.
Excellent idea! That's precisely what the videos are for. Dave's library includes videos detailing every step and every facet of building and restoring horse-drawn vehicles, from blacksmithing to sewing. Unfortunately, few people have the patience, dedication and craftsmanship to do everything properly, so apprentices are extremely rare.
"Is the circumference of the wood equal to the circumference of the tire?" If anyone else had asked that question I would say "maybe". But when it's Dave Engels asking then I say "I have no doubt". That is one fine looking wheel Dave. It will be magnificent to see a pair of them. I have no doubt they will be good for a couple of hundred years if they are cared for properly. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
My gosh. I mowed my yard today
I'm always in awe of your work
Hi Dave, and Diane, the overhead shot makes this wheel look so giant. I think they are bigger than the borax wheels, and on that note I see another tire party going on out back for these when you're done.
This has been an awe inspiring project. I look forward to its completion.
Great cliffhanger!!
What a magnificent job! I understand why you prefer to use the flat shims, and how they work, but they look so delicate compared to the massive wheels!
Well the splines are hardwood with long grain orientation so they’re pretty tough in the absence of any dynamic loading, and they’re mainly for alignment until the tire is installed and shrinks to final size taking care of the alignment issue with all the radial force being applied tightening the joints between fellies. The craftsmanship here is extraordinary and its perpetuation is so important.
I really enjoy watching real craftsmanship.
That is one enormous wheel!
Unbelievable workmanship, nice Dave.
That is very impressive and high precision work.
The old Carpenter's rule of "Measure twice! cut once" with Dave that's measure 6 times and cut once! with that many joints. and hole alignment and angle. patience it the norm. thanks for sharing ECF
Great job love your videos thank you very good work your a great worker
What a beautiful work of art!
Well done Dave. Fun to watch.
What a cruel cliffhanger lol i love it and have little doubt your wheel is within 1" of your projected tire circumference
Next to that enormous wheel, you like a scene from Land of the Giants!
Awaiting more videos like a expected father I love your vids you are amazing bravo bravo
Incredible work made to look easy because of your many years of experience. Thanks for sharing!
Remarkable, Genius, Outstanding! You are remarkable craftsman! Have a Great Evening!
Do the circumferences align? A real “cliffhanger”! …
That's mighty impressive, I've watched most of these videos but I don't remember seeing when you got the hubs and first started, but that is one big wheel, amazing work.
Hoyt, IIRC.
There is a playlist: Holt Manufacturing 10 foot wheels.
Dave my head hurts from all the calculations you make to get the felloes in and aligned.
Hope the next wheel goes along faster from all you have learned from doing this one.
Been watching about 10yrs, or so. I am STILL truly impressed. Won't miss anything 👍👊
so much going on .Right from the start this has been a big job! The time of the traveller draws near! The heating and manouevering of the tyre is going to be another conudrum!
You ave every right to be chuffed about that.Thanks for posting.
Wow that is amazing all work put into this big wheel !
