A 12 Ft Wheel Starts with a BIG Hub | Engels Coach Shop

This 12 foot logging wheel rebuild starts with a new hub, which I'll be making from a cottonwood tree. Using the original hub irons, I'll make two wheels for display purposes for the town of Joliet. Thanks for coming along on the journey.

Mr Engles' channel is one of the honest few that does not employ misleading title captions to solicit viewers. It is a rare gem among mere pebbles.

Was wondering if you have been doing any work on your boarding house? Haven't heard anything about it in quite awhile.

[@Liberty_DIY]

You lied to us about being retired from building wheels.......And we are ALL totally OK with your Falsehood. Keep it going while you can.

[@timbradley5848]

Using car brake rotors as mounts......simply ingenious Dave!

[@scotth4760]

The level of this man’s skills and ingenuity never ceases to amaze to amaze me. Man is a national treasure

A man who starts a project that he knows will take him years to complete is a man looking toward the future.

Nobody makes me feel inadequate like this channel does.

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Work now for a project you can't really start for 3 years. Simply amazing.

[@Crewsy]

Definitely not procrastinating when you prep now for a job you know you can’t truly start for another 4 or 5 years. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Dave, just a heads up. If you see a bloke staggering around your street trying to look inside your shed, well....mate....it's me. I get on Google Earth and visit often. Today, May 2024 on Google, the street has changed somewhat. Mate, when did you do this hub...????? Love to get a "Hunka wood" and make this wheel with you. edit. Old Brake Discs, to hold the log in the lathe. Who's a clever boy.??

My Dad had a lathe when I was a kid. I used to go to sleep with the sound of him

[@rickyabrahams7100]

Been subscribed to your channel since the Start of the borax wagons. Love every episode👍

[@danielpullum1907]

David, You have gone over the top again. That is one doozy of a "steady rest"1!!!!!1

[@jackreed3445]

This is going to be very interesting. I will be looking for more videos on this project. In the mean time I'll take what I can get.

I’m a 28 year old chairmaker, and am getting ready to fire up a 1919 Fay and Scott extendable gap bed pattern makers lathe that has 10’ between the centers (15’ with the bed full extended) that I picked up recently. Pretty dang excited to turn some big stuff on there, this video is wholly inspiring, and nice to see an example of what turning on a somewhat similar lathe (albeit metal), with similar tools, looks like. Thanks for sharing!

[@NiftyMCD_Australia]

I remember watching you fish out the hubs for the borax wagon and how they were soaked in linseed oil (I think) under pressure before being used as part of the wagon. That was some time age and I have been hooked ever since. Good Stuff

[@paulgar8]

You are off on another "Adventure," and I love looking over your shoulder! Great Video (AGAIN)

[@thomasbraeking6225]

I was wondering when the 12-foot wheels would start!

[@JakeHessFan]

I just noticed you're using brake rotors for centering the tailstock....genius!

[@ronboe6325]

I was waiting, and half expecting, for you to fabricate a 22" twist drill to bore out the centers. :^)
