60 Joints All Have To Fit At Once | Engels Coach Shop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 жов 2023
- These final steps are making sure all 60 joints in these wheels are correct, so when the tire is set, all 60 joints are tight. These Holt logging wheels are more challenging than most wheels, but they're coming together nicely. Thanks for coming along!

Putting that tire on and getting that thing out the door...🚪
That's going to be a real treat!🍦
I wonder how many people he is going to need to help with the tire
I imagine the tire's going to be installed _outside_ (like the borax wagon wheels.
@@jimurrata6785for sure. No other way.
And when this one is finished you get to do it all over again. That should keep you busy right up to Thanksgiving!
The second one is going to go faster due to the lessons learned from the first one.
Or beyond
What incredible craftsmanship. Thank you.
Thats a truly colossal job.
The small adjustments show up clearly on the video. NICELY FILMED !
*- Thank you for saying so well what I was thinking.*
*- Dave's deft explanations helped us all to grasp how difficult and complex this job is.*
One of the best feelings in the world, is building something, and feeling proud of it. I hope you are feeling this as the work is fantastic.
One man, working carefully, accomplishes huge job. Well done.
Looking forward to seeing the tire put on.
Your videos have a calming effect for me in this insane world. Thank you for that brother 👍
Your detailed explanation of each piece with each minor adjustment reminds me so much of other devices. I don't know if you have an engineering degree but you talk like a mechanical engineer. My uncle designed bridges and drew the plans for them. His brother was a foundry supervisor and knew everything about industrial metal work. My dad was a supervisor at U.S. Steel. Their uncle was a civil engineer for the railroad. Together, they could tell you anything you wanted to know about construction using metal. Your details remind me so much of the way they used to explain things to me when I was a kid. Maybe that's why your videos are so fascinating to watch. Thanks!
This is called highly skilled and backed with many years experience. You don't learn this type of work from a manual, you live it.
You really have to admire the technology developed for these big wheels as well as the small ones.. we are so blinded by modern technology slickness that i don't think many can appreciate the old ways and how beautiful they are. Not to mention how Mr Engels skills and talents come to bare with building these marvelous wheels ..very impressive work ..
Looking fine! It's no longer just a wheel... Rather it has become a work of art.
That fine dance between allowing it to go in (fit) keeping the whole wheel tight and round, and all the faces meeting flush. That's a fine act!
What a impressive wheel that is! Thank you for true entertainment via excellent craftsmanship!
Never a hint of maybe, an absolute craftsman.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who watches you and is amazed at the craftsmanship of your work. It blows my mind how easy you make it look. I enjoy you giving use a history lesson on how things where made back in the day and how you do things the same way as the craft men of over a century and a half are more. Just amazing. Thank you for you videos and your lessons
No surprise to me that everything stayed aligned without the clamps.
You're a genuine, true craftsman.
After working with wood in many forms through my life, i know the accuracy and experience required to get so many joints lined up.
I can't think of anyone else who would begin to come close.
I have had a hand in building a wheel in the early 90s when Phil from the UK tv program Time Team came to the college i was attending during my apprenticeship and i remember the difficulties we had getting everything right, even as pretty experienced machinists!
The college was excellent, it taught many "old" skills like wood turning, blacksmithing, upholstery etc.
I was attending to further my turning and veneering/marquetry.
A pleasure to watch your progress and learn from your experience.
Thanks for sharing!
Undoubtedly, definitely, this is a unique masterpiece of arts and engineering. Thanks
This 10 ft. wheel is truly a magnified version of a wagon wheel. You have a big job yet to get these tires set. and I assume you still have another hub and bunch of wood to put together. and will you be able to perform the heating and mating or setting, let alone the moving and where to put this wheel or ship it. But I'm proud you don't get ahead of the deal and try to explain all that you just explain what is the problem for this week. Thanks Dave for your courageous spirit.
Man that wheel is just beautiful. I can only imagine what it will look like after you get the bolts in, the iron on, and coat it in linseed oil. Wow that's gonna be gorgeous
Watching you build these mammoth wheels helps me so much with normal sized wheels. Thanks so much.
You are wonderful craftsman and a excellent teacher. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Well dave all the problems you have sorted out on this wheel wiil make the next one a bit easier.
Great to see the wheel in its nearly finished state 👍👍
who would have thought that wheelwrighting is heavy industry. brilliant video Dave, the complexity that you handle so simply on a wheel of this size is to be admired. I hope the owners and users of these beasts of wheels recognise and appreciate the effort skill and knowledge your abilities.
That is a master's work! To see it turn for the first time. I love watching you work and how you work things out. I learn a lot from your techniques of hand working and your thought process.....................
Simply amazing!
Let's hope, there will be women or men beeing able, to do a job like this in 50 years!
I fear, beeing also in my 60s now, there will be so many skills lost and always wonder, how we can hand the torch of true craftsmanship over to a younger generation.
Hi Dave. No doubt in everyones' mind things will be spot on for the tyre fitting. Many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK.
All your previous experiences are making this project looks somewhat simple. Well done.
I too am impressed by the way the wheel aligned, and also by your craftsmanship in building this monster wheel. Well done sir!
Never knew building a wheel could be so interesting to watch.
Another absolutely fantastic example of a skilled professional at work. The contribution you make to the wheelrights craft is beyond compare Dave.
Stay safe and well.
Same as below, can't wait to see the vid of the tyre going onto these weels that are even bigger than the borax ones 🙂. Impressive skills!!
I watched and "followed along", but what is readily apparent is all the year's of your experience cannot be easily transferred, even in an exceptional video! One must make their own firewood! Thanks for making the superb videos and taking the time to explain your process, even though patience is inexplicable.
It really helps to know what your doing, don't it? It sort comes down to the last couple of joints and how they line up. You certainly nailed it. Can't wait to watch you place the tire.
Hey Dave, just HAD to watch this episode again.
I know, I'm confident your got it all lined up, but as you so rightly point out - you gotta take your time and make double sure everything is true and lined up !!
Yeah, me too.
I feel it as a great privilege to be given such an insight to this discipline through the eyes of one with so much experience, (the 10000 hours thing) my warmest thanks to you. Paul, Johannesburg
Looks to me that these two wheels are the biggest wheel’s made since the 1800’s.👍
Dave, amazing wheels. Any possibility of seeing these in action in a future video? Would love to to see them in work.
I’d like to see them at work
I think they are for a museum not for a working piece of equipment.
This was magical, I enjoyed it so much, greetings from Serbia!
What a very interesting process, I couldn’t take my eyes off it. Another lesson in patience and application of skill, knowledge and IQ.
Love your work. I built a cannon about 23 years ago. Not functional just a replica. I am in the process of restoring it. Your videos help a lot.
I just wonder how many people exist in the world that possess this gentleman's level of knowledge and skill.
Fantastic, I hope at some point after your finished we get to see it rigged up with team and a log slung under it! Really fantastic work.
Thank you so much taking on this project! This project really helps understanding the process of making the buggy and wagon wheels. It's like seeing it under a magnifying glass. I'm really glad for this opportunity and can't wait to see this tire go on. I forget to think in 3D, how each felloe can tilt along so many axis and has to be controlled.
I, too, am impressed! Not many people know what you do about the engineering and structural dynamics of wheels and such.
I'm impressed that you not only know and understand all that, but you also know how to apply that knowledge and make it work!
Well done, Dave!!
All that knowledge is beyond me, but I love your explanations and watching you apply stuff I'll never understand! I never knew making wheels was so involved.
Being a wheelwright is more of an art.
Next to that enormous wheel, you like a scene from Land of the Giants!
*- Dave, your deft explanations about the complex engineering physics at play with this and other wheel designs {the part about how the "dish would increase on other type wheels, for example} brought great insight to me.*
*- Without the compression "give" of wood, aligning wheels would be impossible.*
*- Imagine the constant "clattering" sound from all of of the joints, and slop and wheel weakness, that would be inherent if rigid plastic or metal were used!*
I never lost sight of the fact you had 60 joints to calculate and join. Your experience paid dividends on this project. 🙂 👍👍👍
Amazing is not a good description Dave I’m at a loss for words. You are the best.
I wonder how heavy these are finished. Truly a master craftsman Sir!
Awaiting more videos like a expected father I love your vids you are amazing bravo bravo
I was waiting for the bit where you removed the clamps. Thinking about it there should be nowhere for the fellies to move to but seeing it really was very pleasing. Great job.
Excellent craftsmanship and attention to detail, I'm impressed with the final finessing to achieve an accurate fit.👍😏🇬🇧
I'm just amazed speechless, Dave.
Great cliffhanger!!
What an accomplishment! I am impressed. You are truly a craftsman.
Hi Dave, and Diane, the overhead shot makes this wheel look so giant. I think they are bigger than the borax wheels, and on that note I see another tire party going on out back for these when you're done.
The skills that you demonstrate, describe craftsman. It's amazing how much knowledge the old Wheel Wright's had to have to accomplish what they did on such a large wheel. And they had far fewer power tools to help them. I'm curious; did more than one man work on such a large wheel and how long would such a project take? Thanks again Dave, for what you do.
It all depended on the shop. When Holt originally produced these wheels there was undoubtedly an assembly line approach. And their plant would have been full of liine shaft driven power tools. At the time these wheels were produced machine cut millwork was readily available in lumber yards. Even intricate wood window sashes were 95% machine made.
But when it came to field repairs it was likely done by one man with help as needed. Just like logging outfits today, there is usually a maintenance team that takes care of equipment maintenance and repair. For sure at that time the team would include a man skilled in the wheel wright trades.
@@truracer20Thank you.
Endeavor to persevere...very, very cool!
I share your satisfaction in your progress thus far. Beautiful work on a large scale. Just subscribed. Thanks.
As my Dear Old Dad used to say, “It’ll do.” He was a fan of adequacy rather than perfection. The former is easier than the latter. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
Perfection is a tempting but impossible goal, of course. I prefer to aim for excellence, and sometimes that means not wasting resources on things that aren't worth it, so adequacy sounds like a great idea for everyday work.
Ah, Yes! The famous cliffhanger ending! You know we’d all be back anyway, Dave! Thanks for sharing your expertise. 😊
The suspense! You left it as a cliffhanger... Will the tire fit? Can't wait for the next episode! 💖🌞🌵😷
With the steel wheel being oversized, and the precision build of the wood wheel; he controls the final diameter almost exactly.
@@JF-fx2qv, awww SPOILER ALERT! No seriously... I'm sure he'll make it perfectly. But, what I'm having a hard time waiting to know is will he have to cut out that bad weld and add another piece or will he just cut it out completely (as this tire was some bigger in circumference than the other one)? Guess we'll just have to wait. Sending lots of 💖 from sunny 🌞 Arizona 🌵. Take care of yourselves 😷.
You ave every right to be chuffed about that.Thanks for posting.
Incredible work made to look easy because of your many years of experience. Thanks for sharing!
Well done Dave. Fun to watch.
fantastic love watching you out work and the wheel you are doing now is amazing the tyre is going to be wow to watch
Flippin' heck ...!! Incredible ...
I saw the start video, but missed everything since ... WOW!
There is a Playlist if you want to see the rest.
WATCHed in Ohio as Rock Mill Ohios oldest grain mil the wheel was mounted on core constructed from 4 N Hamp tree cores..and slowly but surely each piece was woodenly tapped into place.. within 3 hours the entire wheel IN location was finished.. and it ran well!
Absolutely brilliant workmanship as for the gaps that is what I call "coming from experience" which you have loads of. As for the 2+2+3 equaling 6 at about 11:40 well I will leave that up to you🤣🤣🤣
The old Carpenter's rule of "Measure twice! cut once" with Dave that's measure 6 times and cut once! with that many joints. and hole alignment and angle. patience it the norm. thanks for sharing ECF
i have watched this build from the beginning. my main thought is how you move it--those are some BIG wheels.
I'm always in awe of your work
I'm awestruck as usual
Your work was highlighted in Patrick Sullivan’s pyramid video!,
This series has been a great learning experience, love it!!!!!
Is it possible that I could have a link please?
That is one enormous wheel!
Thanks for sharing.....I never get tired of watching your videos.....very educational and entertaining
Like a previous comment you have me reviewing math that I have little application for except when I calculate for riding arenas and paddocks. Thank you for another Friday afternoon. I look forward to your videos Dave!
My gosh. I mowed my yard today
Another lesson in applied mathematics, Dave. Lots of fractions but certainly a lot of Fingerspitzengefühl, as your German ancestors would have said.
This has been an awe inspiring project. I look forward to its completion.
Such a pleasure to watch a master craftsman at work. Thank you for sharing
so much going on .Right from the start this has been a big job! The time of the traveller draws near! The heating and manouevering of the tyre is going to be another conudrum!
That's mighty impressive, I've watched most of these videos but I don't remember seeing when you got the hubs and first started, but that is one big wheel, amazing work.
Hoyt, IIRC.
There is a playlist: Holt Manufacturing 10 foot wheels.
Unbelievable workmanship, nice Dave.
Amazing work! You are one patient man.
I’d say careful and methodical.
With the emerald ash bore infestation, he only has a limited amount of properly dried ash lumber available.
A true craftsman at work!
Wow, just wow. Thank you sir.
The thing I’m looking forward to is getting the wheels out of the shop and to the client.
That is very impressive and high precision work.
looking good, thankfully. this was nerve wracking, but looks solid for the tire mounting!
Dave you are such a fine craftsmen thank you from La Pine
Wow that is amazing all work put into this big wheel !
The wheel is looking great, NICE WORK
That is a big wheel!!
Dave,
I doubt that the original manufacturer was as concerned about the fit-up as you are. Your craftsmanship is exceptional. All the best.
Great job love your videos thank you very good work your a great worker
Nice freaking job.
Amazing!!!
I'm impressed, very nice video true craftsmanship...
Amazing!
Amazing!!
