The wife is right even when she's not, this makes many men lose the plot, but this time I think she was right, at least you have roast chicken tonight. Nice work Cheers Diff. Love Adelaide Matt.
It's awesome brother from another country and the wife will be more happy with it lol !!! Yall are awesome !!! Have a lekka one brother and say hi to everyone for me okie dokie
The wheel came out looking great. Your wife has a great eye for details. Only problem I see is that if you keep it up, you will have to drill new holes in your belt to compensate for them chicken dinners.
Like others have commented I appreciate your diverse skills, and will add props to your horticulture planting. Good on you for the diversity of native plants.
I cut wood on my Bridgeport and my Monarch all the time, I also have an old wood lathe but it just isn't as nice to work with. Just clean it up real good and oil everything right after.
the Mrs. is correct ..about the cap screw's they belong on the engine, it's wonderful that you have found each other ..you are a Very ,very talented man with talented friends ...and I'm sure She knows it. Rock on Diff I love this channel please don't change too much you guy's are awesome
! If i say, that is a beauty! Colors combo go's very well!! Unic peace of art!! Ou my lord! When this car is ready!!, So beautiful rod!! That car it self is rare peace!! Not easy to find if you wanted!! Good jouce!! Everything good for you and your family! 🌻☀️👌👍☺️✌️🍀✴️🇫🇮
Very nice your wife is going to have a nice addition to her luxury Rat Rod. The interior should be nice for her. You have the running gear looking cherry it's going to be a cool little ride. The steering wheel came out Awesome the brass button sets it off.The wood is fantastic. Take care Div and family.
@ratrodsafrica well you know how to use that sewing machine pretty good and you will probably have to put in some more wood accents and build an area in behind the seats for her pups.Your wife is the most important person and I know she's pretty fond of you we can see that much so it's happy life time. Take care brother.
Dif, I love the way you and your wife came to a meeting of the minds! She knows every good man must earn his chicken dinner LOL.AWESOM JOB ALL THE AROUND. mike
You're a smart man Diff. Give ShWMBO an option in advance! I'm fortunate to have a father who is an expert woodturner so he gets these kind of woody-roundy jobs!
Hey Dif!!! Another gr8 vid. Awesome wood turning lesson( your a thinker, steel lathe to wood turn, ha! gr8) Love that wheel first time round, but Wifey has some out of the box ideas to when she visits. What an awesome concept, worked out gr8. Too short a vid though. Love your stuff, glad your well and back into it. Thank you sir, inspiring!
Nice to see and hear you again. Neat wheel and center you made. I still have the salad bowl wheel covers on my trailer and get comments on it now and then. Bobby
Have you considered drilling three holds from the back of the dome to accommodate the cap screws, then gluing a small magnet at the bottom of each hole?
I did briefly consider it, yes. But the heads of the screws sticks out too much, meaning the wooden disc would have to be quite thick. It would looked too bulky
I was thinking as you were hammering the brass disc, the hammer marks are gunna look cool..hope he leaves it like that..and wala..you did. Another masterpiece from. RatRods for Africa.. Great job Diff..... The wife is gunna love it....👍😎💯
Love the fact that Ali is getting involved in your vids Divy. Dood...your ingenuity on your vehicles is next level and I'm in awe of how you make a plan with what you have on hand. Take care Brother and keep up the good work
Looks like its a warm day there, good for you. We actually got about 8 inches of snow dumped on us yesterday. Great work my friend, gotta keep SWMBO's happy man!
I can confirm that a roast chicken was definitely on the cards! I can also confirm that "the wifey's " toasted sandwiches are amazing! Luckily Div shared one half with me.. only to be followed by my serious regret not saying yes to "the wifey's" offer to make me some as well! 😂 Div, I stayed awake for this one! Ha ha
Hay man very nice work I would love to see your handy work befor you became the diff I know like show me your beautiful wood skills I'm sure you have a few pictures of what you have done in the past. Especially this being your profetion I know you've made hundreds of beautiful peace'es I have made my Shari of nice counter tops I'm sure our customers thought they were beautiful I never had a call back except to fix a sink they dumpped to hot of water in and it cracked
Fantastic Steering wheel. I've saved your ingenious ways to make this steering wheel and center. Got one question --- where's the HORN switch solution? Usually the horn switch, to make noise with, is under the center of the wheel cap. Just another challenge for the upper gray matter. Love your work, all fantastic.
Thanks man! We are not going to have a typical center horn button switch this time around. My wife saw the overhead cord pull switch that I have in one of my other rats, and she also wants that! Big truck style in the tiny car 😂
The wife is right even when she's not, this makes many men lose the plot, but this time I think she was right, at least you have roast chicken tonight.
Nice work
Cheers Diff.
Love Adelaide Matt.

That's funny :D
😂 I can do with a few extra pounds
I’m glad you make wife happy, I been married 40 years so I know what you’re talking about. Live is good, have a lucka day, you’re friend Brian… 😊…
It does take some time to understand these things 😂
could glue a magnet or drill into wood. Awesome work just awesome
Looks bloody excellent, not bad from a couple of peices of wood, 😂 and a happy wife, 😊 thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones
Aaah...So roast chicken it is. Well deserved. Well done boet, That steering wheel is "kwaai" Thank you for sharing.
Like others have commented I appreciate your diverse skills, and will add props to your horticulture planting. Good on you for the diversity of native plants.
Sometimes a 2nd set of eyes on a project is helpful! She was right as always I suspect
I think your Boss has very good taste!
Little car is looking great!
That is a beautiful wood Div. Super glue works well on those cracks.
Looks great Diff, wifey was right. Have a lekka one
I was completely CRUSHED !!!! 😮
I was thinking that you would make an entirely new steering wheel and sell me the one you didn't use !!! 😏
😂👍
Love the steering wheel perhaps we could see all those trees and shrubs some day that's a lot of planting for shure.
Thanks. Maybe I will work in some more garden in the future 🙂
The steering wheel is killer! Will look good in your Reno bug...
I cut wood on my Bridgeport and my Monarch all the time, I also have an old wood lathe but it just isn't as nice to work with. Just clean it up real good and oil everything right after.
I agree. Why not?😀
What a Legend! Making a steering wheel interesting.
Chicken dinner .. candle wood centerpiece.. very romantic.
😁👍
the Mrs. is correct ..about the cap screw's they belong on the engine, it's wonderful that you have found each other ..you are a Very ,very talented man with talented friends ...and I'm sure She knows it. Rock on Diff I love this channel please don't change too much you guy's are awesome
Glad you like the channel and thanks for the compliments!
nice steering wheel my friend
Nice idea for a horn button. You don't see them on the internet/e-bay auto/amazon everyday.....
Can't wait to see your "better half" riding that RenoBug. That truely will be "one of a kind" Rat Rod contraption! Thanks for sharing Div.
! If i say, that is a beauty! Colors combo go's very well!! Unic peace of art!! Ou my lord! When this car is ready!!, So beautiful rod!! That car it self is rare peace!! Not easy to find if you wanted!! Good jouce!! Everything good for you and your family! 🌻☀️👌👍☺️✌️🍀✴️🇫🇮
Thanks!
Such nice work as always and the best part is your Mrs. is happy. Well done!
Looks great, the wife has a good eye for detail.
I really like your work, Def. Making something out of nothing. You're the best I've seen. Thanks
Thanks for the compliments!
Sweet steering wheel Diff. One of a kind. The wife has a good eye
Happy spouse happy house! And you will have good eats 😅
she raised a good point .the timbe cover looks far better than the screws. great job Div,enjoy your chook lunch
Chicken dinner will be worth the work, I am sure. Thanks for the video.
That steering came out super cool Boet.
Thanks!
The "new" wheel looks great, you've got the sweetest wife, love how you both work together.
The wheel looks amazing Diff. Your lady will be cruising in style. Good job brother.
Great job! It’s funny how that looks like a tiny step forward, but it’s really a time consuming step forward. I ove the look.
Thanks! Always takes more time than you think 😅
Nicely done. Gotta keep the wifey happy!
Whatever gets the job done! It's your shop and you can do what you want! Lekka Div
Very nice your wife is going to have a nice addition to her luxury Rat Rod. The interior should be nice for her. You have the running gear looking cherry it's going to be a cool little ride. The steering wheel came out Awesome the brass button sets it off.The wood is fantastic. Take care Div and family.
Thanks! Yes, I'm starting to worry... I might end up having to do a snazzy interior😅
@ratrodsafrica well you know how to use that sewing machine pretty good and you will probably have to put in some more wood accents and build an area in behind the seats for her pups.Your wife is the most important person and I know she's pretty fond of you we can see that much so it's happy life time. Take care brother.
Quite an improvement to an already great steering wheel!!
Glad you think so! 😊
Nice job
Ladies often hate the steering wheel made with a chain
Yes, true words. For serious driving, I don't like it much myself
Lekka boet Happy wife that rewards your hard work with chicken for lunch enjoy. Take care
Dif, I love the way you and your wife came to a meeting of the minds! She knows every good man must earn his chicken dinner LOL.AWESOM JOB ALL THE AROUND. mike
Nothing is free, hey!😅
All that shine is making me nervous that the rust gods might reject that steering wheel. Looks beautiful.the wife will enjoy it
I'm worried too!😂
I enjoy seeing the mix of disciplines (wood,metal.machining and fine finish) all in one project It looks grand!!
Nice job Diff
You're a smart man Diff. Give ShWMBO an option in advance!
I'm fortunate to have a father who is an expert woodturner so he gets these kind of woody-roundy jobs!
There comes a time when one starts to understand these things 😅
Much respect for u cats living the dream oh ya
I love the interplay between two lovers who created love of a life time
A nice coin would be a great center piece.
Not a bad idea. Hope the wife doesn't see your comment though 😂
That would have been a good place to put the horn ⚡️
She wants an overhead cord like I have on my trucks 😄
Beautiful Steering Wheel! Happy Wife, Happy Life!
The steering wheel turned out great 👍👍
Thanks boet!
Great minds think alike, I also like the brass centre.
Nice touch !
Dif what a lovely lady cheers from California
you could engrave her name on the brass. You are the best ever
God Bless South Africa !
Hey Dif!!! Another gr8 vid. Awesome wood turning lesson( your a thinker, steel lathe to wood turn, ha! gr8) Love that wheel first time round, but Wifey has some out of the box ideas to when she visits. What an awesome concept, worked out gr8. Too short a vid though. Love your stuff, glad your well and back into it. Thank you sir, inspiring!
That steering wheel looks GREAT! You did real good on it.
Thanks, glad you like it!
Winner winner chicken dinner. It looks awesome. Cheers
Yes!! Tea has been upgraded again!💪 great job Diff 🤘
She will like that. You might get lucky for that one..
Genius.
Nice to see and hear you again. Neat wheel and center you made. I still have the salad bowl wheel covers on my trailer and get comments on it now and then. Bobby
Nice man!
@@ratrodsafrica Not to mention I bought a set of 6 metal salad bowls, only used 2 on the trailer, and I love the other 4 in the kitchen!
@bobeaseshop9389 😂
looks great Div,well done....more suppers hey , keeping SWMBO happy
It's always a good idea to keep them happy 😉
The Rousseau’s sent me. Look forward to getting caught up
Welcome to my shop! 🙂
Great looking steering wheel. The one little brass screw looks much better.
Have you considered drilling three holds from the back of the dome to accommodate the cap screws, then gluing a small magnet at the bottom of each hole?
'magnets are a damm good idea
I'm gonna use that at some point 😎
I did briefly consider it, yes. But the heads of the screws sticks out too much, meaning the wooden disc would have to be quite thick. It would looked too bulky
I was thinking as you were hammering the brass disc, the hammer marks are gunna look cool..hope he leaves it like that..and wala..you did.
Another masterpiece from.
RatRods for Africa..
Great job Diff.....
The wife is gunna love it....👍😎💯
Thanks, my brother! Yes, I like the contrast
@@ratrodsafrica 👍😎💯
👍😄😊 injoy this build real credit to you on the steering wheel can wait to see the motor mounted driving
I see a Roasted Chicken in Your Future. Thanks Brother looks awesome.
happy wife happy life 😉 because renaubug😂
That is really beautiful wood and really sets off the already great wheel. thanks for the video.
Thanks and pleasure!
As Tina turner would say
Simply the best 😂👍🏼👍🏼
Gorgeous design. Can’t wait to see it complete
Love the wheel Dif. You do amaze me with your talent and your good eye for detail
Thanks, glad you like it!
Love the fact that Ali is getting involved in your vids Divy. Dood...your ingenuity on your vehicles is next level and I'm in awe of how you make a plan with what you have on hand. Take care Brother and keep up the good work
Thanks boet! Yes, I reckon it's time to put the old girl in the spotlight! Took a lot of convincing though 😂
Wife will love it !!!
The sandalwood will make a nice shift knob as well.
Good idea!
Great job on the steering wheel, looks fantastic!
Thanks man, glad you like it!
Looks much better, maybe you could figure out how to make a horn button in it. Thanks Div, you wife has good taste 😀
We gonna do an overhead cord you pull, like I have in my trucks😅
Very nice man
Between the two of you, she steers you right!
😄👍
As they say happy wife happy life.:)
Very nice 👌
Looks like its a warm day there, good for you. We actually got about 8 inches of snow dumped on us yesterday. Great work my friend, gotta keep SWMBO's happy man!
Very cool . Build On
Very cool steering wheel.
Thanks!
I thought you would have used a strong magnet in a counter bored hole. My son gave ne a couple of magnets from an MRI machine.
Don't have such magnets and prefer a more positive fastening
Yep. Custom steering wheel looks great. Nice supper coming up. No baloney sandwich tonight. 👌 🇨🇦 👍
Winner winner chicken dinner 🤣🤣 good job diff 😎😎🤘🤘
That Was a great outcome on the centre boss.
Very cool!
I can confirm that a roast chicken was definitely on the cards! I can also confirm that "the wifey's " toasted sandwiches are amazing! Luckily Div shared one half with me.. only to be followed by my serious regret not saying yes to "the wifey's" offer to make me some as well! 😂 Div, I stayed awake for this one! Ha ha
😁👍
Looks great buddy
Thanks man!
I thought it looked great with the fasteners but keep the wife happy and your happy
Exactly! 😃
Hay man very nice work I would love to see your handy work befor you became the diff I know like show me your beautiful wood skills I'm sure you have a few pictures of what you have done in the past. Especially this being your profetion I know you've made hundreds of beautiful peace'es I have made my Shari of nice counter tops I'm sure our customers thought they were beautiful I never had a call back except to fix a sink they dumpped to hot of water in and it cracked
Thanks! Maybe I will share a few pics one day...
That came out awesome

Hi Div, "Happy wife, happy life, happy husband, suspicious wife"........hahaha jou vrou was reg, daai lyk rerig bevange mooi
😂 Dankie!
