Building 1,018 lb Wagon Wheel For a Chandelier | Engels Coach Shop
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ย. 2019
- This 1,018 pound wagon wheel will be turned into a chandelier. This is the final building process, including hot setting a 553 pound steel tire in an open fire. This wheel is made using a red oak hub and ash for the spokes and felloes. The Borax rear wheels weighed 1,080 pounds, but used a white oak hub and red oak spokes and felloes. The overall dimensions however are the same. The steel tire is 1" inch thick and 8" wide.

Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos. Since I use a large number of these, I do keep them in stock. An email to dave@engelscoachshop.com will get you a list of available sizes and pricing.
In response to a number of requests for the tools and supplies I use here in the shop, I have compiled a list as an Amazon Associate. I have used Makita tools for almost 40 years, but am not sponsored by, nor endorsed by Makita. Perhaps this list will be of service to you as viewers, as well as provide a means to help support this channel.
These are not cheap, home improvement tools. I use tools hard so I use high quality tools. These prove to be less expensive in the long run.

This kind of classic craftsmanship is very rare these days . Thanks
Blessed with talent, patience, know-how, humility and equipment. I envy Dave's personality traits.
A chandelier!!!!!!!! 😳 for who exactly Andre the Giant?
Absolutely stunning work!! 👊🏻👊🏻
Just "WOW " America needs you now....And we don't even have minimal trade schools any longer....Where did we fail as a nation?....I'm going to watch this again....and again...and again !!
Always a joy to watch a skilled craftsman do this sort of specialized work.
Your love for vintage wagons reflect the ultimate beauty you bring to light. Keep up with your dreams !
OLD SCHOOL TOOLS! WHAT A GREAT JOB! TEAM WORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK.....
The Master Craftsman demonstrated the basic, essential ingredients to achieve perfection in any job. Thanks
A terrific exhibition of craftsmanship, precision, and plain old hard work. Thanks for the time and effort in making the video. An absolute joy to warch!
What I specifically admired about you in building this wagon wheel is the fact that even though you knew it would never be used as an actual wagon wheel, you built it to the highest standards that you would had it been going on a heavy wagon. That sir, is was a true craftsman would do. I am in awe of your skills, and at 73 years of age I'm still learning all the time. Thank you for a fabulous video.
I wondered if knowing this would never be used on a wagon was depressing for him or does the pride knowing they *could* be used override that feeling?

Durnik is proud of him!
@Telleva You have no idea what you are talking about. The large metal tire was heated so that it would contract tightly around the wheel and keep it tight.
@Telleva the wood chips are used to hold the wooden wheel sections in alignment during assembly and to hold it all together in one piece before the metal wheel is installed. No glues or adhesives are ever used. Just friction and the principles of expansion and contraction.
Very hard worker God bless you my dear uncle
Sir....As it is Good Friday, I'll just say " God Bless You...your hands...and your genius head!!!
Iwould bet there is less than a handful of people of the younger generation that has learned the skill you have Sir. You amaze me every time I watch.
Do not forget that there is more than 100 years of knowledge to be able to build these wheels. We just have the modern tools to build them faster!

Nope, makes complete wagons. And, does a damn good job!

Kinda makes you wonder how the old boys did it back in the day
without power tools, Welders and such... I guess just good old
elbow grease, Ingenuity and common sense did the trick...
Hats off to them old boys and to you Mr. Dave.
Dave, and women were glad of it.

@@EngelsCoachShop That's right Mr. Dave...
Я выросла в селе,каталась на телеге,где были именно такие колеса,все время думала,как это деревянный обод колеса целиком выпиливаются и одевается на спицы? Через 50лет увидела как! Здоровья вам!
**BEAUTIFUL+++ WHEELS!!!**
Absolutely inspirational!!!! As a blacksmith I’m thinking of how they calculated for the forge weld laps…… 😳🤯
I am envious of the skills this man has. This looks relaxing yet stressful. I like that you have been doing it so long that on your mind you have the marks and the cuts planned. Well done master woodworker and artisan.
Amazing. I’m a glass man by trade. This video was pure greatness 👍👍
This true wood work. Thanks for making beautiful video.
There was never a wheel so tall that did not stand in the shadow of the man who fashioned it!
Your humblest admirer, Robert
With his wealth of knowledge, he sure is larger than life.
So true of words. How fitting.
gayest thing I have read in two years hahaha

I feel truly blessed to watch you & the amazing craft you have kept alive.. God bless...
Ditto!
Мой прапрадед делал колёса для повозок, дед делал паровые турбины, сам я делал элекромоторы, вам огромное спасибо! Вы воскресили память предков, а точность которой вы достигаете представляется волшебной. Спасибо!!!
Смотрел , раззинув рот . Шикарная работа . Супермастер . Наверное , секреты ремесла наследственные . Соседи хорошие . Это дорогого стоит .
I just discovered your channel. You and your skills are a treasure. The way you take the time to clock all the nuts so they orient the same. That level of detail is rarely seen.
Every time this old carpenter looks at one of your videos I'm more amazed by your wonderful jigs and exceptional skill, hats off.👍👍
I love watching the machining of the spokes for the fellas!
原來馬車輪是這樣製造的。我活到81歲，第一次看到全部製程。讚👍謝謝全體製作團隊。謝謝你。
Beautiful work. My son and I loved watching you make these wheels
It’s amazing to watch: no wasted effort or motion, just pure skill and gorgeous craftsmanship. I hope you have some journeymen learning from you, because it would be a pity to lose your level of experience. It deserves to be passed on. Thanks so much for the gift of watching you work!
Excellent craftsmanship, a talent most will never have.
You show off😜
You are a real master. I admire you!
Absolutely beautiful. Most take for granted what they see. They never get to see the work and love that went into creating something like this.
This is by far the best video I have ever seen on TH-cam. This guy is a genius, turning out a work of art, singlehanded I had a friend who passed recently who made wheels like this, although smaller. I loved helping him put the tires on the woodwork. Congratulations to the camera person,for giving a precise view of the work as it progressed.
A million likes for your workmanship....
Привет из Горно-Алтайска,уважаю мастеров которые могут делать деревянные колёса,да ещё такого размера👍🏻,
I wish I had the knowledge, skills and tools to be able to make something so beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Download Blender Animation software, watch a few how to's, take what you learn here and model some wheels in 3D. Keep watching Dave - model more things till you get the whole wagon. Just doing that will help you stop wishing for nothing . Once modeled, you can have it 3D printed, painted and put on display to enjoy. Then you have an interesting story to tell and can say.. "I made that"! :)

God! A 1000 lb. Light! Damn! I don't believe I'd want to stand under it for long!
You are an amazing craftsman, my daddy who is 84 years old still working as a blacksmith, and he is a great craftsman too! Keep up and stay healthy!
I can't imagine having a chandelier that heavy hanging over my head. Great work

Beautiful ancient artform. Wonderful indeed!
I greatly Enjoyed the Water trough Video and Keep up the Outstanding Work!👍👍🐂🐂🐂🇺🇸😀😀
I'm glad you drew that X on the piece of the steel tire you planned to cut off, or I'd never have been certain which side was good and which was waste material!
This is what is called "work done with tradition to the rule of art", congratulations from Italy for the excellent craftsmanship.
the real crafts men are far and few between .good job man
I really hope that there is someone out there that is taking the time to learn your trade and the skills that you have gained over the years. It would be a crying shame if your skills left with your passing and were lost to time. What you have is a knowledge that a very few possess, and I pray that there is someone out there that is saving them by learning them from your and others that still have them.
I have been a woodworker for a large part of my life, mostly antique furniture, cabinets, and carpentry. My hat's off to you. Super awesome craftsmanship.
Makes me miss my days pipe-fitting and boiler-making. Theres nothing like stepping back and seeing a large job come together. Great video and you do fine work!
Hermoso trabajo pura artesania felicitaciones por el video
Really Interesting work 👍👍👍Super video Well done 👍👍👍Beautiful hand work 👍👍👍
Just have to give you a huge thumb up for the expertise you have in doing this work 👍 And although it is for a chandelier you have taken no shortcuts and it is equally suitable for a cart and that can carry many tons. I am now a great admirer of your craft..
This aged man is doing all the work by himself. Heavy one. With such a dedication and patience that it seems that he is cut out for this work. Great man! Keep it up
Well that gives a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘taking the wagon down to get some new tyres today ‘!! Beautiful work.
Another day in the shop,fun fun✌❤
I was a Wheelwright Apprentice back in the 70’s, we didn’t build anything near this large. I sure wish we had. Beautiful work Sir.
I've watched every one of your videos from beginning to end, and they still never fail to fascinate me.
**GORGEOUS CHUCK-WAGON!!!**
I can’t believe what I’m seeing, awesome workmanship.
It blows my mind that anyone would want to buy a new and usable wheel to merely be a chandelier but at least it keeps this guy in business. Excellent craftmanship! =)
Even if I was in the business of hanging these kinds of chandeliers (or using hand made Oak barrels for some spirit), those are better when used and having a tour cart underline you grand opening use the next places decorations (/a Winemaker pay shipping) isn't the worst business.
Spending 6 grand or more( my guess for completed project ) on this for some people is like the me spending $100 on something. At least this money is a multiple lifetime object with a great history. Some day when we have flying cars and condos on mars it will be crazy valuable
At first I thought so too, but then thinking of the prices some high end design studio take for their custom chandeliers (20k+ for something of that size) it started to make a lot more sense. Additionally, when you add on to the fact that this particular piece of "furniture" will last several generations how can some use this perfectly good chandelier for a mere wheel!?
I think Jimmy Diresta got me onto your work, and boy is it mesmerising just how efficient you have made the entire process. I really love the use of jigs to make light work of some of this, I am sure even before power tools similar jigs would have been in use. I can't wait to look back through your body of work.
Yeah
A Masterpiece of Work.
Thank's for the video.
Quel magnifique travail. Bravo Monsieur-----What a wonderful job. Bravo Monsieur
There is somethng immensely and indefinably satisfying to see when slots finally fit together, another job well executed. Thanks for bringing us along.

I time I watch one of your videos, I am in awe and amazed at the work you do. You are truly an inspiration to us all, thank you as always for the great videos
I have 4 original wheels in my basement as chandeliers! And one in my kitchen! They have been hanging in this house since the late 50’s! Pretty cool project!
Hard work-no comment!!! Bravo...
A true craftman, havent seen this done for over 60 years. my compliments, admiration and thanks.

Bravo pour ce bel ouvrage à l'ancienne.👍
В те времена, когда люди передвигались на таких колесах, не было этих станков. Но они работали. Было бы здорово, если бы уважаемый мастер сделал колесо теми инструментами. А так, расчет и деревообработка
This is my first time that I saw how this kind of wheell is made. This was a great work. Congratulations. Iván Rodríguez from Costa Rica in Central América
You are a true great craftsman. Thank you for the video.
Just wow. What a craftsman. And gentleman. Love all the videos. Can watch for hrs and never get tired. 👌👌🙏👏🏼👏🏼
A work of art! I have worked with my hands all my life and can appreciate your efficiency of motion. Functional art!
I just watched the Woodwright's Shop episode where he makes a small wheel for a wheelbarrow and he said that you shouldn't think of yourself as a wheelwright after making such a small wheel. After seeing the complexity of a much larger wheel I understand what he meant. Great content!
Beautiful workmanship! You should build an entire Borax wagon train.
It is a real joy to watch a bonafide craftsman at work. Thank you!
I love that no corner was cut, even though he knows these will never be used on a wagon!
My thoughts too. Usually decorative items are made to a much, much, lower standard. The people who commissioned these must be quite wealthy.
..with an exceptionally strong ceiling @@deezynar ;)
@@realvictim
Well if you figure that 1000lbs on a ceiling is like five people in one room, it's not too much, so long as there's no floor above it.
@@jacobg5122 all standing on one spot on a 2 x 4 ?
@@realvictim
Ceiling beams aren't usually 2×4s. In my experience they're usually at least 6x6, and often larger. Ceilings are made to hold a lot of weight- with four people, a bed, some furniture, and other stuff, you could top one ton. A bathtub with thirty gallons of water can weigh over three hundred pounds. My house is old, granted, but our ceilings are held up by 8×10 pine beams.
True old school skills, that I hope are never lost to the techies. 🐻🙏
Beautiful craftsmanship , original old style, God bless your work , we certainly don´t get to see that type of work very often anymore.

I do hope you are teaching these skills to others. Just wow, I’m so glad there are still craftsmen alive and well. You are incredible!
How they made these all them years ago amazes me I still amazes me
Hell of a lot more elbow grease!
About the same, more people working at once, more grease pumped in the elbows as it were. A little bit more rudimentary tools, but the core of the work is unchanged. Precision, knowledge, and a good strong back.
How someone in this modern era still can't speak their first language amazes me I still amazes me

Incredible craftmanship, I'm an Engineer but I really admire the work and skill that goes into these wheels, top quality.
Viva los artesanos!!!!gente grande creativa...salud y larga vida señor..desde venezuela
Best looking wheels I ever saw!
looks like a lot of work with modern tools, couldnt imagine how hard this must have been 100 years ago or more, very very cool work!
100 or more years ago you did not have to have the same productivity as today, so if anything, it was easier. Today everything has to be done faster, better and cheaper to the point it has become almost impossible to make a decent living out of any craft.
@@raytracer5726 that is a very astute observation. I didn't really think of it like that but that does make perfect sense.
@cornskid what does the standard of living has to do with it?
My point is, being a craftsman today (and most importantly doing it for a living) is actually harder then in the past, despite all the technological progress.
