![How to Make a Carbon Fiber Steering Wheel with Epoxy Resin [DIY]](/img/n.gif)
Iv been personally looking for a video showing how to build a custom race wheel, and I couldn't find anything of value so I made this video thinking others might be looking for the same. Thanks for watching and commenting on this video.
Thank u a lot🔥🔥
No problem 👍🏽
after watching this, those $800 steering wheels seem like a bargain now. great work!
They are a bargain. A price for a custom wheel will be more expensive, depending on materials and style. Most of the time the expensive wheels have variations in thickness and custom contours to fit user.
So it's been 3 years from this video how well did the steering wheel hold up after 3 years anything you would have done different? Thank you
After 3 years of it just sitting in the jeep, since I haven't gotten a chance to finish the project. It's holding pretty well in the heated jeep day after day.. only thing that lifted was the fabric on the horn, which I used that cheat contact cement. But overall it's in the same condition as day one.
@@TheInkhousecustomsthank you for your help. Wanting to redo my OEM h3 steering wheel, they sell them custom made for $1700 freaking ridiculous. Seem how you did yours and way cheaper and more affordable. I do have another question what type 2 part epoxy you use? Last time I tried epoxy it ended up turning kinda yellow after some months passed. Thank you so very much!
Do You Do Other Steering Wheels And For How Much
🤙🏽
Man this is so cool. Im currently making my own flat bottom wheel. Im using Bondo. Taking forever. I'll have to try the Jdkwik
Yeah I use filler In smaller areas, I use the paste in the video just cause it's less absorbent. Thanks for comment.
@@TheInkhousecustoms whats the material for the shape change. I am from Bulgaria, but I use plastic 222 car filler and is hard...
It is also a plastic filler.. all links in description to my Amazon affiliate links. Kwikwood and pc11
Que medida hilo utilizas
talla 207 nailon
No que que le pusiste no se que usaste no explicas nada es todo para ver disculpa perdí mí tiempo viendo tus videos
What kind of black spray paint are you spraying over the pc11 paste after you sand the steering wheel?
Thx, Kirk
@kirk M Bruni I just sprayed flat black.
This was a good video but u should’ve slowed it down on the important parts I slowed it down and it still was too fast
Thanks for the insight.. I do tend to speed things up when I get in the groove. I start focusing on the process instead of the filming.
Great job, congrats! would you post a list of the materials you have used?
Thanks, links to materials are in the description.
Very nice how did you learn this? And not to sound off where are you? What is the weather like ?
I learn through trial and error, I'm naturally a artist so ideas come to mind easily. I'm located in the US virgin islands 🇻🇮, and the weather here is perfect a 75-90° 🏝
In 6:41 how the color turn to black? Or you put any paint?
Lol it becoming a common question now. I sprayed flat black paint on it to see the imperfections easier.
Hey bro great video would you consider sell them ? I would like to buy one for also a jeep wj
I would but I live in the virgin islands and shipping prices would be crazy. Contact me on Instagram and we can chat up about it.
I can help if still want one
That's method can be make on the opel astra h steering wheel;;; thank you from Greece my friend.
This can be applied to any wheel.
what is that pc11 waterproof stuff you use?
It is a epoxy base paste. I used it as a filler since it's easy to work with.
What’s up bro I just started watching your video cause I took the project of making my personal wheel for my self and I wanted to know how long did the Pc 11 take to dry
@Cornelio Ruiz the Pc11 mixes at a 1:1 ratio it takes about 5 to 10 min to harden can tool in about an hour.
@@TheInkhousecustoms also another question and thanks for the reply what else can I use for that part you use the red putty cause I can seem to find it in la
@Cornelio Ruiz any automotive spot putty will work
How much do u charge to do steering wheels?
This video was for a personal project I haven't made any for anyone else.
Super Cool!!! thanks for the upload.
No problem!!!
Hey man great video,helping me with wanting to do the project my self just wondering did you take off the original sewed leather or did you just leave it on ?
@Spencer Heser there was not any leather on there just the rubber. If you have leather remove it..
Sculpting straight atop the PVC casting? Brave. But given how well you've sealed it later i don't actually anticipate any issues, especially given how well pre-aged it seems to have been prior. The end outcome looks really sharp.
Thanks for the comment, I think it's been about 1-2 yr since I did this and it looks the same as day 1. 🤙🏽
I am assuming this wheel is made from soft material? Did you have any problems with kwik wood sticking to it?
@crownvic ca I absolutely did not have any problems with it sticking. A well prepared surface is necessary for any coating application. Degreaser , wax remover and some scuffing with sandpaper and wipe off with rubbing alcohol, u should be fine.
How many hours do you think it would take an absolute beginner to do this?
@Waunye. It took me about a week to do, between dry/ cure times. For a absolute beginner I would say about the same.. the thing before attacking any project is to have a game plan. Think or write down the steps you'll take before you take them. If it takes you watching a few videos and research before starting you can even cut the time down to a few days 2-3. I only put in a hour or two a day to complete.
@@TheInkhousecustoms Okay thank you!!

What were the determining factors when choosing the jb weld kwikwood? Was there a reason you chose it over the jb steelstik or jb waterweld putties?
@Eric Massoth I choose the kwikwood only I think it is easy to work with. But I guess any jb weld can work.
@@TheInkhousecustoms how is the wheel holding up? Have you noticed any issues in short-term use with the materials you used?
By the way, I am unbelievably grateful that you put up this video. I finally have the confidence to make my own! I just dont want to screw up and use the wrong materials.
I have not notice any change in quality. It's been in the vehicle for over a month and not fade of epoxy or leather lifting from grips. Everything in still 100%
@@TheInkhousecustoms Thank you so much for the reply! Love your work!
Hello! What did you use to form the relief on the steering wheel? Is this an autopilot?
A series of dremal and file work. I'm not sure what an autopilot is!
@@TheInkhousecustoms Thanks. "Autopilot", rather, is an incorrect translation from the Russian language. 😁
hey man awesome video about to attempt it on my bmw wheel but where do you buy carbon fiber from?
Thanks man iv been personally looking for a video showing how to build a custom race wheel, and I couldn't find anything of value so I made this video thinking others might be looking for the same. Thanks for watching and commenting on this video.
I get my carbon, fiberglass, resins and equipment from compositeenvisions.com ( note I'm not sponsored) most I can ask is like and share the video. Thanks
great video
Thanks 👍🏿

This is incredible, going to attempt this on a spare steering wheel i have& hope for the best! Great vids bro
Thanks appreciate it.. hope your project come out great aswell
Man you are awesome
@MsMilios thanks you! I try!
Аж ладошки стали светлые, так пластилин укатывал белый)))
This music is perfect you will hit 100 k subs in a few months be easy I estimate to months if you keep this up
@590;56 Thanks man, help me by sharing these videos.
You should have learned the lesson of the steering wheel first.
Not sure what you mean?
Nice work man🙏🏻
Thanks as always👍🏽🤙🏽
Nice
Thanks
Nice work Iv done a few myself just finished one now chopped carbon takes a lot of work and time but worth Iv done loads of car parts good to see others doing there way
Thanks and I appreciate the comment, like I tell everyone how asks, there's plenty of way to get something done.
Awesome skills !
Thanks
Did you also use the epoxy putty on the bottom flat side?
@Eric Massoth I did put a thin layer of putty on the flat side. I also put more putty to the top side of the flat bottom where the wheel stops to help with the effect of having a straight bottom half.
🖐☕
👋🏽
Dude I literally am trying to do the exact steering wheel for my jeep and happened to see this one
That's cool 😎, don't forget to Subscribe to keep up with future creative videos.
You think it can crack or anything?
I have no fears of cracking its a Polymer based products, plus wrapped in a carbon and epoxy. So I have high doubts about cracking and should last for a life time.
@@TheInkhousecustoms thanks man I’m gonna give it a try then
not simetric, didn't make holes for material, not safe can crack any time!
@Cirlig Dima. How little do you know. The material used to make the shape is not body filler. It will never crack over time. And the simetry of the wheel is off the original shape of the jeep wj wheel. But thank you kind sir for your input. ✌
@@TheInkhousecustoms well you got your point but how to do a simetric parts without using some measurements tools, and doesn't mater what kind of material you use for anatomy, the wheel is rubber and has no conections to a hard part of the steering wheel, that's why need to be drilled and put some material to have a strong bond, good luck!
This is true the wheel is made of rubber. The amount of layers of epoxy and the jb mater has enough strength to compensate. It not like you'll be pulling and tugging on the wheel, unless in a accident, which the wheel and material will still hold due to the fact that everything is bonded and wrapped around the entire wheel. If you can prove the theory wrong 👌
Iv been doing this type of work for years, so show me some experience you possess In the field, and help me correct what you believe to be wrong.
@@TheInkhousecustoms hi i would like to show you some of my work but how to do it? maibe we can change for some experience
Boss . Fantastic job. Would u mind to list the item u use in this video ?
@Mior nasrul all links of items in the description. And if you want to help support this channel, make a purchase from one of my affiliates links. Thanks
@@TheInkhousecustoms that pc11 quite expensive. Wonder how many of that thing u buy ? Is it one or more than that ?
It is expensive I only used one of the pc11 and two of the jb weld kiwiki. But there are smaller kits then the one I put up. I will change the link to the smaller kit.
I changed the link amzn.to/3eAIb7L
Perfecto maistro 👌🏽
gracias
this is probably the best video series, from all my research you're doing everything spot on
few questions though
1) how are you determining thickness of the material to add around the wheel for thickness? just feeling it out i'm guessing right
2) about how much material did you use, i'm seeing kits for like 1 pound, is this enough or was a lot used?
3) have you used other pastes to compare? i've noticed a lot of the 'big guys' use a material called "apoxie sculpt", curious if you have experience with them to compare
@rawrtravisrawr #1 just feeling out what I think is comfortable for me, was a wheel made for myself! Guessing if I was making it for a customer would depend on grip preference.
#2 I used two small tubes of the kwikwood
And two small tubes of the pc-11 .
#3 I Haven't used and other pastes, I go with what I know works and is manageable. There's plenty of ways to accomplish the same results.
Thanks for the inquiry and comments, your appreciated 🙏
hi, god job.. one quesiton....what is the material Black.. or is only Black spray?... 6:47
@juan Carmona it's was just flat black spray to see the imperfections.
@@TheInkhousecustoms ty for the details! any reason you used kwikwood and pc11? couldn't all be accomplished with pc11 or does the kwikwood feel more solid for the bumps?
@rawrtravisrawr the kwikwood is more a puddy or clay to build up the shape, the pc11 is a paste, you wouldn't get much ability to for shaping. Plus the pc11 is much more expensive than the kwikwood
