Nice wheel. I’ve been working with wood for 50 years, and honestly shocked at all the negative comments here. Your jig is built better than most homeowner projects I’ve had to fix. In fact, I’ll bet that most comments here are from people who don’t even know the difference between white glue and yellow glue. Again, nice wheel. I’d buy one. Cheers mate.
Thank you, great way to fixture that,
I have one of these on my truck now. Always wondered how they made them. With the help of your video, I think I will try and do one myself. Thanks for sharing.
It's a lot easier to chisel down those edges if you turn the chisel over so the bevel side is down. Hope that helps. Beautiful work. Good job!
Awesome job, well done. Thank you for sharing...Doing something like this at home with basic tools is harder than it looks. I made one for my F100, I am happy with it. Will upload video shortly...from South Africa
Nice wheel, and useful details in the video, thanks for posting.
As for the half-dozen (out of almost a million and a half views) negative, know-it-all, comments, it must be a petrol-head thing. I watch lots of woodcraft videos and never see ignorant "I know better than you" comments. You build things while they watch and criticise (and believe they could do better if only they didn't have to spend time educating others).
Keep up the good work, making and posting, and congratulations on your 1.5 million views!
Nice job. I am thinking of doing that to my rover wheel.
should have used epoxy all the way around.
Only place the wood is really connected to the steel is at the arms. Won't last long. A lot of torque applied when you turn the wheel.
Yes, this will flex quite a bit. I also can't help thinking of the rust that'll be going on inside.
Great video & great skill & patience! Its wonderful to see a true craftsman at work! Good job - thanks for sharing. Regards from South Africa.
Thanks you should Check out my furniture on my website www.andersonwoodwork.net
Amazing!!!!!! How does this channel not have more Subscribers?
I don’t know it just now has gotten traction I will have to do some new videos.
Лайк с тех, кто понимает по русски.
Looks awesome. I've wondered how they are made. Might put one in my truck since the wheel I have is trashed...
Go for it!
I heard a comment off a guy once where he said "I like the way I do things a lot better than the way you don't do it" this mans just made something 99% of you probably won't! And the end result is pretty nice 👌
Your comment is kinda pointless. The saying you quoted has nothing at all to do with your conclusion. If you don't understand it just stfu.
@@coronalight77 I think it might make sense... everyone's critiquing the way this gentleman made his wheel yet I bet not one of them have ever made one themselves.. got it yet?
Nice job, I made one a few months ago for a friend that had a MG from mahogany and made it almost the same way, I added finger grippers on the back , it turned out great, your lucky you only had two braces, I had three 😳, GREAT JOB 👍
Woahhh, how did you add finger grippers to yours?
@@MHVictorLee with a file and lots of very hard work
@@user-zt3zq8uf1z I see. Thanks so much for the advice!
@@MHVictorLee make sure that you have every finger grip even and start with thick wood so that it looks even with the top
Looks like a P1800 steering wheel
You are spot on
Is it a volvo p1800 steering wheel?? Currently i am making a steering rim for a p1800, and the arms are exactly the same!! The process has been just like yours. Just finishing final sanding. What did you use at the end?! Looks oil? I was windering if gloss or satin lacquer. An oil finish like a rifle stock would look gorgeous, but with hands and sweat, will not last long. Thats why i was thinking in varnish
7 months later 😁😁😁Very nice initiation of the idea but I would have done the half rounds on the rim of steering before I glued it together....just my thought...👍👍👍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
craftsman on display is all i can say :)
That's gonna be some go-kart when it's done!!!
Very impressive. Looked like a lengthy process.
It is and it keeps me fit
Maybe use those peg like spring clamps to hold the two halves together, that way you can put more on around the circumference.
Very cool !!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
Verry clean wish I had that exact same one
If I had to make a steering wheel I would follow the first part of your method and try using a lathe and in each hand a peace of sanding paper to finish the work of.
Using a lathe is a possibility, but not everybody has one.
And not every steering wheel is in center. The wheel spokes are sometimes not strong enough
Should be playing " you picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel"
Wonderful work!
Love it. Nice work
Good job...beautiful steering
Thanks for the great video. I would be interested to know what wood you used?
In this video it was mahogany but I do them in walnut as well
I have a p1800 wheel that is deteriorated, which is what this one looks to be in the video. What would you charge to do this to mine?
You should have used more adhesive on the metal frame. The difference in thermal expansion of the wood and steel will put huge stress on those 2 fixing points. Don't forget cars have to deal with huge temperature gradients when you get in on a cold winter morning and knock the heater up to full. Very nice work though.
Amazing job... no nurals on the back side for finger grip but so much better than the wheel center that you picked for this craft
Are You Kidding Me !!. Talent.. Some kind of talent.
What type of Wood can you use to make the steering wheel?
Talk is cheap, doing it is a totally different story .I redid a Mercedes Benz 280 se wooden dash and door covers .took a lot of time .had them professionally glasecoated.I may attempt a steering wheel for a jaguar from rosewood
Excellent travail . Merci l'ARTISTE
Nice wheel!
Great job 👍👏
Not bad for his first try. If he is a 'professional' it is shoddy work.
👍Top Handarbeit ! 👌
Great job. But I am not certain it would be legal to use this in UK as it has not been tested to BSI standards. Any ideas please?
A lot of classics will have steering wheels built before any sort of testing was introduced so it could well be safer than the originals. I believe some really old wooden ones didn't even have a steel rim so could splinter and puncture a lung in an accident. I agree its probably not technically legal on a medium age car and not on a modern one as you have removed the airbag.
Talking shit... things like numberplates and lighting have to conform to BS approval, you can fit what you want to pretty much anything regarding it ties in with construction and use...
@@DroneAndBimmerGyal Sorry what bit was "talking shit" Certainly not the original question as it was just that a simple question asking for a view. My reply was an honest opinion without going into a long winded reply. In a lot of cases the constructions and use refer to other standards. They are also not clear cut. e.g you can have a BS standard number plate that is wrong when bolted to a thin bumper where you can touch the edges, but not when its bolted flat to the body of the car. I found that out on one of the cars I put through an SVA. Because of its age I can have a Black and Silver number plate on one of my cars but not on another. If you take a steering wheel to the SVA I can say they will check its radii. Not just the rim but the edges of all the spokes and it probably wont pass if it has slots in the spokes that the test considers could trap a ring or cufflinks etc. At least you do seem to have some concern over the constructions and use unlike the ones with add on DRLS clipped into the side lights which are illegal because they don't dim when the main lights are on. A lot of things are added to cars afterwards that would actually be a fail if the car was going to an SVA but wouldn't fail an MOT. So I answered in a general way not knowing if the poster was talking about a new car, a classic or a kit in build. I don't believe I was "talking shit". I may be accused of making sweeping generalisations because a detailed response is often more than is needed.
I would've put the wheel on an electric drill and clamped the drill down tight. Then just get some course grit sandpaper and the outside is quick work. Then again I'm lazy
Thinking like an engineer...

OTTIMO video
👍👍👍
A wood wheel would eliminate the need for heat in subzero temperatures.
🤔 thinking like an engineer : using a dremel tool to notch the seats for the frame, creating more control points to lock the wood to the frame. Then epoxy the whole assembly into a equal pressure jig and create some kind of anchors to lock both halves of wood wheel together then once it's cure I'd lock-in the whole assembly in a drill press at 100 rpms or slower using varying grits of sandpaper until smooth and then with a sponge apply stain to the wood and an epoxy resin topcoat... But I've never done it before nor am I a woodworker.... Nor am I an engineer, I'm an overthinker 😂
Where did you get the "frame"? Salvaged part I'm guessing?
Salvage
@@andersonwoodworks9631 It's from a 60's vintage Volvo 1800S.
Nice job but I would've left the wood joints in the finished wheel.
Seems that it would be more simple to make the roundover of the rims with the router prior to glue up?
You are right in a way, however if you did it the way you suggest then if the two pieces aren’t in exact alignment then you have a ridge where the two pieces meet. Then you have to sand out the ridge all the way around. Also it’s more difficult to clamp something that’s round, versus the two flat circles.
Either way would work, it’s just a matter of which way you prefer to do it.
A lot of woodworking comes down to that, many ways to do things it just depends on your preference. Sometimes the preference is dictated by the tools or skills that you have at the given moment.
А я бы нижнюю сторону отфрезеровал бы до склейки и зажимал бы через прокладки.
Congratulations!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Nice work.
HI there, the metal work part of this, was it a old wheel you rescued or was it made for you?
Yes the guy I was making them for restores old Volvo,s
Bellissimo Lavoro! Bravo!
Excelente trabajo saludos desde Argentina
А до склейки фрезером нельзя было окружность придать, а потом шлифовка?
nice, but it would be stronger if the metal was fitted in the groove with resin. but it sure looks nice.
Great craftsmanship, thank you for sharing
I was waiting for it to go into a lathe ,suspecting it isn't perfectly round .nice job any way
I don't think I've ever seen a steering wheel this perfectly round. Even Factory Regional steering wheels tend to be more oblong shaped. This build is beautiful. I just wish there was finger notches
I know when making hammer handles, even though it takes longer, I make them elliptical. Just feels nicer in the hand and gives you feedback on tool position. File handles and stuff like that I just turn it round.
хорошая, профессиональная, красивая работа!
Ignore the negativity mate.
Just because someone has a different opinion doesn't make it negative or hate
Friends, beautiful work! but you could tell me what music and this soundtrack of the video, I liked it too! thank you!
Good work
Trabalho incrível. Parabéns!
Nice job, I have a question, you don't glue the outer steel ring to the wooden ring, except at the spoke level. This is not causing an hollow sound when you touch or hit the wooden rim ?
He should have filled the whole cavity with epoxy!
OK, brawo😀
woodworking videos- where people who have never picked up a chisel in their lives comment to talk shit about how much better of woodworkers they would be... ya know if they actually started woodworking..
(not saying that there isn’t valid constructive criticism and everyone is a hater)
I know right. Always gotta be these know it all's throwing they're two cents in like they know something.
In
I make furniture for a living using hand tools I invite them to make a simple table unplugged and see how they do.
@@andersonwoodworks9631 The worst part is (at least I do this) when you get used to people giving really crappy criticism for a while, it gets hard to take good criticism. I hate the idea of me getting really good advice but being too jaded to listen.
Thankfully woodworkers tend to be fairly polite as far as internet communication goes, so usually it’s easy to spot the people who might have a clue.
Really cool. Do you have a video on how to make the finger grips on the backside?
Nice job, what is it going on?
A Volvo I have a guy that restores old Volvo he asked me to make them for him and he would pay a good price.
Master saludos Argentina
wow very nice job.
Lindo demais esse volante de madeira e aço de 2 raios vai ficar bão 🤠 demais da conta pra colocar no seu carro parabéns Deus te abençoe 🙌🙏👼 à vc e toda a sua família um grande abraço do violeiro Leonardo Batista Rocha de Valinhos sou do interior de SP valeu.
How much do you charge to create one for a 99 Aurora sir?
I quit making them I love making furniture
@@andersonwoodworks9631 Ever consider stepping out of retirement sir??

My wife comes walking up to me looking pissed, so i say what?, she said are you watching porn, me what no huh??🤔 Great music man.👌👍🤣
Отличная работа!
5 of my cars has wooden steering wheels, I love it but I like them a bit thicker. Nice job tho, I am going to tri making one.
Superb
Amazing!
Gostaria de ter visto o volante no carro como firia !! Mas eu gostei do trabalho
Kool
Nice
Please, write the name of the music track !!!
Should have rounded the outside surface of the wheel surfaces before gluing.
No they don’t always line up right and I would have to do it twice.
Swishahouse would be proud.
круто!!👍👍
Espetacular toooooooop.
So first using a router for a saw function, then a chisel for a router function ... good start ...
Excelente trabajo de carpintería. Tengo que hacer uno igual para un dodge gtx .
Фрезеровать закругления надо было до склейки на каркасе.
Why are you trimin the edges after gluing, wouldnt be easier before fixing in the metal ring?
cause it may not line up correctly i think that is the reason why most finishing work was done after assembly
Someone donate a lathe to this man
I might have one for sale along with a shop full of tools. Time for a life laundry.
Если вы делаете для себя то как вариант - да, на свой стах и риск....
1. Тело руля, металл. конструкцию, вы фиксирует на эпоксидку только в 2х точках! (Это бред!), Дерево, между собой, фиксировать на ПВА оправдано, но в данном случае всю конструкцию необходимо фиксировать на эпоксидку. Ваш руль либо рассыпется, со временем, в дороге, либо его провернет.
2. Спицы руля из фольги, их в конечном счёте обламает.
3. Анатомические выступы под пальцы, сзади руля, обязательны, особенно с деревянными рулями - это не только удобство, но и безопасность!
4. 6ть струпцын не обеспечивают равномерного прижатия. Вам необходимо было зажимать через что-то, к примеру доски или добавить ещё 6 струбцин.
Ваш руль можно повесить только на стенку и не более!
Сама работа неплоха.
8 струбцин я насчитал. А в остальном соглашусь, будучи чайником ))), но со здравым смыслом.
How does the airbag attach? 😁
It doesnt. We die like men.
Your supposed to put your fingers through the holes to keep from going forward in the event of an accident....😉🤦♂️😆😆😆
Awesome
What wood?
Very good.
I’ll be, that’s a Volvo 1800 steering wheel. Would you be willing to do another and I would pay. I have a Volvo 1800 and would love to have the wood steering wheel.
I could if you bring me your steering wheel
That's what it looked like to me too, pretty unique wheel for a unique car
@@andersonwoodworks9631 I can do that and think there would be quite a few of us Volvo 1800 car members in our car club to bring you business! Would you have a way we could communicate with you or a email?
Where is the suitable Cadillac?
Why isn't Ketchup Glue Red ??
Did I see him not bonding the metal ring securely with epoxy into the 2 loose wood half rings ??
Why doesn't glue stick to the bottle?
Would you drive that car ?
What goes through someone's mind in a car crash ?
Did you know Elephants Can't Jump ?
Reminds me that coffins look good on the outside but, not on the inside as they use cheep crap, glue & bodge it to look good.
At least he didn't use nails !!!
Mardi wooden wheels are very well crafted
I cringed after watching the router cable twisting around and around... The round issue is because the center wasn't fastened properly...
Dear god, how could he
