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.
When I was about ten, I wanted to be a UA-cam Troll™️ I realized at that age that I could do everything much better than anyone else, from making steering wheels to rappelling down ropes from a helicopter, while taking out the bad guy, like the marines. I mean, how hard can it be? But instead I decided to stay on my couch to not make other trolls too envious. 😉
In the 1950s my dad had “the world’s smallest steering wheel factory” in North Hollywood or Burbank California. He made mahogany rimmed wheels with flat and dished aluminum spokes. They were distinctive because he used brass rivets on the segments. He also made matching gear shift knobs. I think he ran a small ad in the back of sports car magazines. In late 1970s or early 80s Don Ricardo was president of the Mercedes Gullwing Club and got my father to make a few 4-spoke models for some of his car club buddies. A few years ago I took my dad to the Peterson Automotive Museum for Father’s Day. We were admiring one of the cars and he looked inside and said that it had one of his wheels. The car was a one-off prototype 1953 Bodley GT Mark I - we were flabbergasted. It was the first time I had seen one of his wheels on a car. Dad is in his early 90s now and someday I’ll inherit his tooling and a couple sample wheels. He used a router like you to cut the arcs, he had a different setup for doing the finger grips on the back.
After watching your vid I realized my dad’s wheels were different. On his the spokes and metal ring were all one piece… maybe 1/8” aluminum, the wood was laminated to the metal with special adhesive from 3M (he consulted them and they recommended an industrial product). The router was used to machine the metal and wood assembly. Also as mentioned, the finger grooves on the back were made in a different operation with a different router jig.
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.
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
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.
I've made one similar wheel successfully and one not-so-much. Segmented frame halves clamped over the three-spoke hub with a round perimeter rod. The tricky part is getting all 2 or 3 arms nicely notched into the wood in an even manner. I had good luck with Titebond 3, the exterior stuff. Very tough and no need for epoxy. I bedded the steel rim into the wood halves with the glue during assembly. Grain and color matching can make all the difference in the look and symmetry of the wheel. The router jig was effective here except you could see the hub bolt moving and then when fitting the rim into the wood, it looked like the channel wasn't exactly in line with the metal rim, thus the rim seemed to ride above the channel. But gluing it together in that situation could lead to internal stresses.
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 work sir, I've made my own years ago, I couldn't afford to buy, i copied one from bone yard it was broken, it took forever for finger grips and a rasp on backside ,and first one I split in half with the brass rivets that held together with , then I decided I didn't like plastic dash on 77 firechiken, that took 4 months and 8 attempts to make perfect, wish I knew then what I know now
that was fun to watch! i always wondered if there was an internal metal ring hidden in them, only thing i would have done different is maybe rechrome the metal before assembly, but that one looks great with some patina!
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 👌
@@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 👍
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.
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 ?
beautiful and usefull video. i'm thinking to do the same on my opel. just a question. please can you tell me the cutter you used to give the right shape? which radius? thanks
🤔 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 😂
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
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
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.
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.
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...👍👍👍🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
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
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.
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.
Omg. I'd never use a PVA glue for that ... just to join the 2 small edge surfaces. Epoxy 2-part, embedding the steel within the ditches AND sealing the mating surfaces. Are you aware the temperature inside a closed vehicle on a very hot summers day might reach 60°, way above PCA specs and great for warping timber and splitting open such joints.

@@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.

Yes, chisel is upside down. Not bad wood working, but definitely room for improvement; like epoxying all the way around instead of just two places. When that wheel breaks you're going to have a handful of problems steering, or should I say 'holding onto the wheel'. Also, marking on the wood with a marker is a bad idea. Ink soaks into the wood and you'll never get it sanded out. As far as marking goes - two marks on one side about an inch apart is better than marks on approximately the opposite sides.
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.
Интересно, но если честно сделано Халтурно. Рама руля не плотно легла в паз; Рама руля не зафиксирована в заготовке, Не приклеена (эпоксидкой). Каркас (лучи) явно слабые, гнуться, а он еще рашпилем обрабатывает на весу... Халтура одни словом.
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.

When that wheel breaks you're going to have a handful of problems steering, or should I say 'holding onto the wheel'. Also, marking on the wood with a marker is a bad idea. Ink soaks into the wood and you'll never get it sanded out. As far as marking goes - two marks on one side about an inch apart is better than marks on approximately the opposite sides.
Bellissimo Lavoro! Bravo!
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.
Where is the suitable Cadillac?
Gostaria de ter visto o volante no carro como firia !! Mas eu gostei do trabalho

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.

Интересно, но если честно сделано Халтурно.
Рама руля не плотно легла в паз;
Рама руля не зафиксирована в заготовке, Не приклеена (эпоксидкой).
Каркас (лучи) явно слабые, гнуться, а он еще рашпилем обрабатывает на весу...
Халтура одни словом.
Pretty
Amazing!
Bit flimsy?
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 !!!
