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
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!
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
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
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.
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.
! 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! 🌻☀️👌👍☺️✌️🍀✴️🇫🇮
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!
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.
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 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.
sandpaper glued to wood is great but not for wipeing your bottom though so dont try it. Also super glue is great for filling cracks but dont use it on that one. i thought id better mension it just incase someone might get confused
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
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....👍😎💯
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!
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.
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
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
I use superglue AS my finish with a cotton rag gives a glossy finish and hard as buggery NOTE do not throw them in a bin they can combust same as linseed
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
I enjoy seeing the mix of disciplines (wood,metal.machining and fine finish) all in one project It looks grand!!
Beautiful Steering Wheel! Happy Wife, Happy Life!
Love the wheel Dif. You do amaze me with your talent and your good eye for detail
The steering wheel is killer! Will look good in your Reno bug...

Looks great buddy
She will like that. You might get lucky for that one..
Yes!! Tea has been upgraded again!💪 great job Diff 🤘
That is a beautiful wood Div. Super glue works well on those cracks.
Love the steering wheel perhaps we could see all those trees and shrubs some day that's a lot of planting for shure.
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 !!! 😏
Winner winner chicken dinner. It looks awesome. Cheers
Looks great Diff, wifey was right. Have a lekka one
The wheel looks amazing Diff. Your lady will be cruising in style. Good job brother.
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!
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.
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.
That's funny :D
😂 I can do with a few extra pounds
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.
nice steering wheel my friend
I love the interplay between two lovers who created love of a life time
Wife will love it !!!
I think your Boss has very good taste!
Little car is looking great!
Genius.
Such nice work as always and the best part is your Mrs. is happy. Well done!
That steering wheel looks GREAT! You did real good on it.
Whatever gets the job done! It's your shop and you can do what you want! Lekka Div
Nicely done. Gotta keep the wifey happy!
! 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! 🌻☀️👌👍☺️✌️🍀✴️🇫🇮
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.
Looks great, the wife has a good eye for detail.
Sweet steering wheel Diff. One of a kind. The wife has a good eye
Happy spouse happy house! And you will have good eats 😅
could glue a magnet or drill into wood. Awesome work just awesome
That steering came out super cool Boet.
Quite an improvement to an already great steering wheel!!
Nice job Diff
Very nice man
Very cool . Build On
The "new" wheel looks great, you've got the sweetest wife, love how you both work together.
Nice touch !
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!
Gorgeous design. Can’t wait to see it complete
That came out awesome
Looks awesome 👍
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 really like your work, Def. Making something out of nothing. You're the best I've seen. Thanks
you could engrave her name on the brass. You are the best ever
looks great Div,well done....more suppers hey , keeping SWMBO happy
A nice coin would be a great center piece.
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
Looks great. The wifey will love it.
Great looking steering wheel. The one little brass screw looks much better.
That Was a great outcome on the centre boss.
Great job on the steering wheel, looks fantastic!
That is really beautiful wood and really sets off the already great wheel. thanks for the video.
I see a Roasted Chicken in Your Future. Thanks Brother looks awesome.
Between the two of you, she steers you right!
😄👍
Very cool steering wheel.
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?😀
Yep. Custom steering wheel looks great. Nice supper coming up. No baloney sandwich tonight. 👌 🇨🇦 👍
Great minds think alike, I also like the brass centre.
Very nice 👌
sandpaper glued to wood is great but not for wipeing your bottom though so dont try it. Also super glue is great for filling cracks but dont use it on that one. i thought id better mension it just incase someone might get confused
The sandalwood will make a nice shift knob as well.
Good idea!
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
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.
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
God Bless South Africa !
Much respect for u cats living the dream oh ya
As Tina turner would say
Simply the best 😂👍🏼👍🏼
I thought it looked great with the fasteners but keep the wife happy and your happy
Exactly! 😃
Looks great
Chicken dinner .. candle wood centerpiece.. very romantic.
The Rousseau’s sent me. Look forward to getting caught up
That would have been a good place to put the horn ⚡️
She wants an overhead cord like I have on my trucks 😄
Very cool!
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!
Love it . Top job .
Third time, the charm... just kidding, it's perfect.
Since your wheel is steel, magnets would have worked well and for the "How the hell....???" factor too🤔
Sometimes a 2nd set of eyes on a project is helpful! She was right as always I suspect
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.
beautiful job bro
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
Nice idea for a horn button. You don't see them on the internet/e-bay auto/amazon everyday.....
happy wife happy life 😉 because renaubug😂
Hi Div, "Happy wife, happy life, happy husband, suspicious wife"........hahaha jou vrou was reg, daai lyk rerig bevange mooi
Awesome 👏🏻
Dif what a lovely lady cheers from California
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
Chicken dinner will be worth the work, I am sure. Thanks for the video.
You do great work. Laka...
Spelled right ?
Looks much better, maybe you could figure out how to make a horn button in it. Thanks Div, you wife has good taste 😀
I use superglue AS my finish with a cotton rag gives a glossy finish and hard as buggery
NOTE do not throw them in a bin they can combust same as linseed
Nice work Div, that should be worth at least two chicken 🍗 dinners.👍 Cheers mate.
My wife would have complained about the bolts too 😂👍
FromTexas , do not know what car that is but man it is cool. Waiting to see how it turns out.
As they say happy wife happy life.:)
