    20 years ago I was working at Illinois Railway Museum under a guy named Roger Hewitt. The car we worked on had bent wood roof guards at the ends to protect from the trolley pole crashing down. Roger told me a trick he learned to bending wood was from a friend of his at Seashore Trolley Museum (Kennebunkport, ME). He said to add a bit of ammonia to the water for steaming. That would soften the lignin in the wood to the point that his friend claimed he could almost tie a 1X2 into an overhand knot. Even better, the wood was so limp it would not try to spring back to its former shape as it dried out.

    Thank you very much for that informative video. While I may never make a wheel like that, I always wondeered how to go about it. My late Grandfather drove a 1926 Whippet to work everyday up into the late fifties in Kenosha, WI.

    What did you use for the bending backup strap?

    • @arendstolte9293
      @arendstolte9293 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Some used heavy duty steel strapping that I got free at the lumber yard.

    Hugo, different manufacturers used different methods for making the wooden steering wheel rims. Some used the bent wood method but others like Chevrolet made the rim from six or eight sections finger jointed together. The challenge in all of these is making the large finger joints. If you are doing sections, any hard wood will work. If you are doing steam bending you need to select a wood that bends well.
