Make Wooden Toy Tractor/Truck Wheels

Tractor and heavy truck wheels are a bit different to make. This video looks at two techniques for making wooden wheels in the home workshop.

Brilliant idea for tyres. Glad I found your channel. I have 7 grandkids with 2 boys out of that lot, so they will enjoy my endeavours. 👍🇦🇺

Exelent

My husband makes wheels like these, he has a jig for the table saw, 15degree angle in the left miter gauge slot same in the right slot. It is a plywood jig with an index mark for the slots. The band saw looks great but the slots are too thin.

Nice. Pozdrav iz Srbije.

I thank you kind sir for this great demonstration!

Excellent works of wood, they are really a source of inspiration for those of us who have assumed teaching work as something important, but also fun. Working with wood as well as being relaxing is an opportunity to teach any area of knowledge, be it mathematics or any other area of science. I work in a small school (Escuela Integral para los Artes Niños Cantores de los Llanos) in the south of Venezuela, where we have taken on the challenge of teaching under a premise: Art, a way to build knowledge and build values. So thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn with your wonderful samples and that allow us to expand the cognitive horizon. Thank you

your youtube is great and information. well done mate

[@graemevoigt1369]

Thank you so much. Great demonstration and ideas.

[@bodybuildingABC]

very pleasant man, and a very beautifully done video. thank you for sharing your experience. i appreciate the result of your effort.

[@TrevorBatstone]

Thanks, Bruce. I dabble in woodworking, but have never made wooden toys. I have a couple of young mothers with their young kids who drop by my garage almost daily to say "hi" and to see what I'm making, so I was looking for a way to make wooden wheels to make toy cars for them. Your jig idea has inspired me very much, so I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Cheers!

[@thewoodtoybloke7446]

Best of luck with it Trevor. Great fun seeing the kids enjoy home made toys.

[@serlutor]

Criatividade fantástica!!!

[@jimlenell2636]

Nice job!

[@Kepler648]

You look like Paul Hogan ! Are you catching crocodiles by hand like him 😂 thank you very much for the videos and explanation !

[@almorrison6273]

Thanks - that was great

[@franciscorodriguesdelimaro3564]

👀👍

[@rayatlast]

You're very good, thanks for sharing

[@s.g.devries8557]

Wonderful! I used this technique for my wheels and find it curious that I used the exact same angles as you chose even though I am watching this a year after I built mine. You are welcome to check out my mining truck video to see them. Just search for S.G. Devries or The BIG truck. Nice work.

[@JolienBrebels]

The bandsawtip is really great! Wish I had a lathe to make it easier to clean up the wheels!

[@thewoodtoybloke7446]

Check out my Mini lathe video, Jolien. Can be made from and old drill. I like your toy series.

[@JolienBrebels]

Hey yeah I've already seen that one. But I don't know if my drill could handle it. Maybe it will be overheated?

[@thewoodtoybloke7446]

Very little load on the drill. Shouldn't be a drama. :)

[@JolienBrebels]

Okay, maybe I just need to try it out!

[@racsolear2357]

Thank you so much

[@fx1c333]

So why don't you bevel the wooden wheel sides first then cut the grooves. A template with grooves already cut could be taped onto your already sanded wheel and placed on the rod on the jig. Hope this makes sense to you love the channel.

[@perfectionframing7067]

The trick is to do what you did on the table saw with a full width wheel. Then, when you have them all cut simple cut the wheel down the middle on the band saw, flip the pieces I’ve and glue back together. Tracks match up perfectly and for an exact match.

[@thewoodtoybloke7446]

Yep. Bloody terrific idea.

[@fabiojoliveira1]

Muito bom, parabéns!! (I`m from Brazil)!

[@dr.dingus3453]

Great work. Don't stress everyone has their own way. We collaborate together.

[@kellybailey4587]

Need to make a video of your men shed set up and your hand made filming apparatus!

[@johnkelley9877]

Very useful technique. Thanks for this tutorial. I just subscribed.

[@1958linedancer]

will be trying this

[@LUCAS-qk9sq]

Perfecto Amigo

[@martinwhitehurst9893]

Nice work! Would you share the angle of the jig you made for your bandsaw to make the cuts in the tires?

[@thewoodtoybloke7446]

G'day Martin. The angle is about 20 degrees. I really just picked something that looked reasonable. Cheers, Bruce.

[@martinwhitehurst9893]

Thank you

[@josearias8488]

Thanks ,,👍🤗🤩

[@ratheeshn.p5541]

Good👍

[@brucebonkowski3037]

is there a way I might ask for the plans for the jigs

[@thewoodtoybloke7446]

Sorry. I don't have plans. They don't need that sort of precision. just pick you own angle for the wedge shape and follow the process in the video. Cheers

[@robertoenocbermudez83]

Please, I thank you for apologizing my writing in English. I think I better write in Spanish. regards
