- After building this 650# wheel spider vertically, I am going to lay it horizontal so I can begin the felloe assembly. I will be cutting the tenons on these Holt logging wheels next, but I can't do it vertically, so I have to get it on my wheel stand first. Thanks for coming along on the journey to rebuild these 100+ year old logging wheels.

I'm reminded of the Crocodile Dundee "that's not a knife, THIS is a knife." Now THAT'S a wheel! :)
Lol
Your ingenuity is brilliant Dave to overcome the problems with this extra large wheel. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Gotta like how Dave doesn’t do “dammit”, he just fixes it.
Just for fun, maybe you could drill a small hole into the inner curve of one of the felloes and screw in a pneumatic valve stem. Think anyone would notice? 😊
😂
You would not even need to drill the hole, just a little hot glue to hold the valve stem in place.
Do not forget a little plaque reading "Inflate to XXX Psi"
Twisted sense of humor (our) but in a good way.
Apparently, you, DO NOT understand the passion this Man has for the work that he does!!!!
There's enough ingenuity in the first 30 seconds of this video to justify subscribing...
Just, wow. Can you imagine what it was like when you didn't have a forklift, but just a mule named George?
In the Army we had a phrase, “We have done so much, with so little, for so long; now we can do everything with nothing at all. I agree, you are one amazing guy.
In the Air Force, it was “The unwilling, led by the unable, doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.”
Them are some MIGHTY BIG WHEELS👀......Thanks Dave ❣👍
Old Shoe🇺🇸
When you work alone, you have to think outside the box.
I enjoy watching your problem solving
What you manage to get done, all alone, is astounding - plus you get it filmed with great angles, lighting, and details! Is there anything you can't do, Dave?
There isn't anything this Man can not do! I am tonally convinced.
And he was without any OSHA violations
Very relived that you didn't get under that set-up.
You didn’t have to worry about not having an extra pair of eyes in the shop Dave. You had all of us helping to line the hub up onto the stand.
Dave is very good at conceptualizing in his head before he actually does the work. The mark of a real craftsman!
When you said you needed a extra set of eyeballs, I thought what are you thinking… had hundreds of us telling you what to do.😊
Very few u tube projects consume my anticipation as this one does. As a retired builder of wooden boats, among my varied interests, your smooth flow is something special to behold !
I want to say the way think things out is just awesome. You Sir are a great teacher of the young folks.
I operate an aircraft repair business. I can only get a helper in the shop about half the time. I, too, have to figure out how to move/position heavy parts (wings, engines, etc) by myself. I was holding my breath for a while as I watched you work. You were always mindful not to get under this heavy load at any time. Phew!
Like how you think lets stay out from under the huge wheel of death great showing of how to do it without putting yourself in harms way
Well, Wow, Dave ... That was just absolutely exhilarating to watch!!!
Finer than frog hair -- well done!
Steve from Circle
The delicate dance between control and chaos... I love it!👍👍👍
By George you got it and no one got injured. Good thinking Dave.
Amazing, what you can do by yourself ! Thanks for letting me watch and learn as you go .
The hardest part about working alone is keeping Mr. Murphy from jumping in.
I heard Mr. O'Reilly say that Mr. Murphy was a bit of an optimist.
That "kit stand" worked like it was purposely designed for that application. Well done to the company that provided it.
I was glad to see you stay out from under it as you pulled the pipe out. And I enjoyed seeing you demonstrate what thinking and a tape measure can do in a shop that is always exactly the size it is.
Loved how you did not want get under that load, safety first no hard hat gonna prevent headache from that wheel or the overhead crane installation.
Great job of foreseeing how it could work and then work through it.
Looks like a bunch of giant pencils, great video
Where there's a will there is a way. You always know the way. Thanks Dave.
I am convinced, if you put your mind to anything, you will find a way to make it work. Too bad you won't run for president. I would vote for you! 👍😁😉
@ 00:10 It looks like you're making a 🎡 ferris wheel! That's one hell of a wheel... 😊 🤠🌵🌵🌵
Everything you do is fascinating to me. Thanks for the video.
I really enjoy watching your videos
90% of solving a problem is working out that it can actually be solved. The other 10% comes from experience of knowing how materials will behave when moved. Great work.
Excellent outcome from a close run situation. Great planning and execution.
Even your slightly sketchy has a lot more thought and planning than some people's 'well' thought out. Excellent work
Dave, nicely done rotating the spider from the vertical to the horizontal. I worked for about 36 years in a university structural engineering research lab and one of the trickiest things we had to do was such rotations with very heavy things. I think the heavieet single piece we ever did was around 35,000 lbs. We always had multiple people around for these. I like how you made a point to not place yourself under the load as much as possible. Being a university lab we had graduate and undergraduate students. In safety meetings I when discussing crane and forklift work I always told them to imagine the worst thing that could happen if something broke, like a strap, and to make sure they didn't put themselves in harms way and to have an escape route in mind at all times. I'm sure that Diane appreciates the care you take.
Glad you brought that up. Very important.
Yes, I do.
I've noticed in other videos that he NEVER puts himself under the load. Only the smart thing to do, especially if you're working alone.
@@lamwen03 For sure!
Even if it's a relatively small load that you COULD lift; you may not end up in a POSITION that allows you to get any 'leverage'.
Like perhaps on you butt, with it in your lap!
It doesn't have to be something big enough to cause major injury , to still get you into a 'What the F do I do now...' situation.
😮 It's moonlandinh precision...🤓👍
Dave, if I wore a hat...I would definitely take it off to you for that transition work from Vertical to Horizontal
Amazing the wait that everything adds up to. Alot of work just moving things around. But things are going well. Nice work great job.
Sitting here watching all that thinking about how those old wheelwrights did all that. As always you do amazing work.
You Thought it out. You rigged it just right, Excellent.
That's a pretty slick trick using the I beam on the pallet forks! Thanks for the video Dave!
Just as I was wondering how he was going to hold the forks together, he pulled out a custom made clamp.
This is the time it would be nice to have a 20 ceiling and 2-acre shop. (And be able to heat it in Montana winters) lol good video. Thanks.
Very unique way of making fork extensions. I like it
That was a thing of beauty, transitioning from vertical to horizonal with only one, (Very Skilled) man. I applaud your genius! I enjoy watching your videos' so much. Thank you for ALL your efforts to share with Us!
Working safe and SMART. Amazing, Dave.
Master Dave - sir, when you were finally able to get that hub/spoke assembly horizontal, it was about all I could do, not to stand up and applaud for a long time! Great ingenuity Dave, and I enjoy your calm patient approach to such a huge task. I enjoy watching you solve such complex problems, and look forward to the rest of the series. Peace - Gerry
this was nerve racking but satisfying, too. now to complete the wheel!
Superb. My mouth was agape most of the time.
you were smiling the whole time, just a big boy with some great toys!
Patience is a virtue up to a point
Good job Dave.
I like the I-beam collar that keeps the I-beam on the forks. It was very interesting to watch you maneuver the wheel around to get it on the stand. Great content. Stay safe.
I had to laugh; either at you or with you when the hook kept coming off the rim while trying to lift it. Those Harbor Freight winches came in handy and turned out to be worth the money!
That worked well. much simpler than anything I was thinking.
I can see the 'work safe' in your process.
yet I hold my breath while you are moving the assembly.
A lot of crazy people would have crawled under the wheel to get the pipe out. Glad you're not one of them.
I saw you smiling when that wheel was rotating! I thought I could wear sandals while watching this, but I had to put on my steel toe shoes when you were moving that steel tire!
😊
You do what the old mantra says, JUST WORK THE PROBLEM, don't give up.. Nice job Dave.
Oh, my goodness. What a great video. And everything done on your own.Congratulations. Best wishes from Germany
You get more done alone than a whole crew!
Take my hat off to you, Dave, managing big tackle on your own.
Well. That was exciting!
Never thought this 10'' journey would be so therapeutic to watch. loving every minute of it. keep up the good content as it is better than any TV show.
I have loads of health problems, you are an inspiration !!!!
Thanks Dave you are fun to watch
Never doubted you for a second !! Worked out well Dave , now you can get down to the business at hand. You have it figured out and it is going your way. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work and the fun you have around there. Fred.
Sheesh! These wheels make the borax wagons look like they're running donut spares.
Wow, you did it Dave, I knew you could. Not too much trouble.
It's just as impressive watching you handle that wheel as it is watching you build it. Like the hand of God gently laying her on her side. Bravo, sir - your work ethic is inspirational and second to none.
Wow, that was a real nail biter!!!!
Nice job getting that thought through, planned and executed! A master at work!
slow &steady works well, nice job
Who else was holding their breath for the entire video?
Good to watch. Well done Dave. Thank you
Me: You're gonna need a bigger shop." Dave: "Hold my beer..."
For future use, on most forklifts the forks can be flipped upside-down on the carriage if you need to lift something and the backrest is in danger of overhead clearance. This goes for the Yale, hyster and Clark's I've used, not sure about an old Alice Chalmers tho
The backrest is usually removable on every forklift I have ever used or seen, been running forklifts for over 50 years. Just four bolts hold most of them on.
@allenwilliams6882 yea and in his case I'd have taken the backrest off a long time ago. Only needed for stacked skids
🎉 blyme mate such a good job.
Love to see the four finished wheels and the carriage it's on.
Maybe a four draught horse team to pull it.
Thank you for being safe. I thought you might have crawled under the wheel putting too much trust in the forklift and straps. Whew, you’re good!
Hi Dave, I live in Germany and I've been following your channel for years now. I love watching documentaries about old crafts. It's a shame that old crafts and traditional skills are slowly dying out, even here in Germany... I hope that you stay healthy for a long time so that you can make a lot of documentations about your special craft. Greetings and stay healthy...
glad to see your staying safe by not crawling under the wheel while in the air.
Congratulations on the 200K milestone!!!
Thank you!
Do what it takes moves us to ingenuity. Great job
My hat is off to you. You figure out everything to the 10 thousand inch. Love your vedios. Keep them coming.
*- To see all of that in your mind's eye is astounding.*
*-...and it worked just like you expected it to do, too !*
*- Much appreciation on this side of the camera, Dave. Thank you.*
We are missing the introduction theme song. Always nice to hear.
You did an outstanding job on maneuvering that wheel around and on the mount, safely and single handed .
I can only imagine the fun they had doing that with block and tackle and back muscle
It looks like the Mothership landing.... Well done, Dave.
MAN YOU ARE SO FUNNY!!!😂😮..JUST LOVE YOUR LINE OF REASONING ❤😊
Glad you survived
God bless you
I'm enjoying watching his analysis of how to lift and turn that heavy wheel. I'm currently building a couple of speaker boxes that are around 180 KG each and I work alone. It can be done with a hoist and lots of thinking.
How in the world did they manage to make these wheels back in the 19th century without electric lifts and fork lifts. It's even amazing how you accomplish it with those tools. Fantastic work!!!!!!
Fork lift is just a fancy block and tackle. Think about setting the masts in a ship of war with sheer legs, tackle and 100 men.
And a few mules.
They had all kinds of manpower back then. Now you need machinery to do maneuvers in a “one-man-band” shop.
Yuuup, I often wonder how they did that "back in the day".......?
Where there's a will, there's a way👍👍👍
I'll be watching to see the big fire and the help required to set the tire on.
that long hook you were using is just like the ones we used on our construction site to pull crane cables under pilings.
❤ Dave your a real spokesman , WOW!!! DID YOU SAY YOU MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER ONE? This one is a little small.. Diane where is your baking channel?
Good deal, that's a major step out of the way, watching the rest is going to be great.
Such a brilliant mind!
My favorite channel
Plenty of room to the ceiling, Dave. Easy -peasy. getting the wheel from vertical to horizontal.
