Brian proctor was the shop teacher at my high school when we were kids. He retired about half way through my high school career. Very knowledgeable and skilled person also a nice person in general. Glad to see he’s keeping active.
Stumbled across this video while looking up treads for a truck I am making my son.... This has to be one of the smartest, compact and convenient jigs I have ever come across! Thank you for sharing this Mr Procter!
Thank you for sharing your well thought out jig. I'm going to make one to make road grader tires, you made it look easy, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Make sure you find that site to make a paper pattern, for any number of divisions, simple, choose the size and number of segments, and print it off. some one posted it in the comments Or I did, let me know if you need any assistance.
Brian, I finished my wheels today, thanks to you for providing such a great idea for cutting them perfectly! Now for the hubs, going to turn them and fit them one at a time. Also made your jig for drilling the holes in the hub, looking forward to using it. Thank you again for the ideas and showing how to use them.
Excellent job, I always wanted to make a guide to make slots to the wheels of my models .... I'll start doing yours ... it's the best I've found on the web ... My most sinseras congratulations ... Greetings from Venezuela ....!
Thanks for the interest and confidence in my jig. The key part is accurate indexing discs, a following video shows you how to make them and there is a link to make a paper pattern. Check that out if you haven't yet. The discs I made are 8.5 cm, it can be anything that would suit your need. I like the aspect that it can be used to cut different diameters of wheels. The demo was for a small wheel but a later video I could use it to cut larger tractor tires. feel free to ask more questions
Amazing job. I literally found your channel by typing MY exact name exactly as I spell it too. With the E instead of the O. Carry on Brian Procter, Brian Procter.
Hi Brian,thank you for sharing, have you ever put out a basic print with the sizes for your indexing jig....it would be nice if you did thank you again.
I would like to make jig like that to make wheels. Couple of questions......I'm assuming the threaded rod that you are using is 1/4 inch? When lining up the jig to the saw blade do you line the saw blade with the center of the rod? Also what is used for the pointy thing that holds your index wheel when you turn to the next hole?
The rod is actually 1/2 inch redirod with the end part reduced to 1/4 and threaded The pointy thing I used a screw and ground it down to a point, ( drill and grinder) Then knob would attach to the screw. Straight tread would be in line with the blade, have to be at an angle with the blade. I can send you a basic plan if you send email address.

@brianprocter6191 Grate work and skills, I'm trying to catch up.. what would you charge to make one metal shaft and the one used to drill hole in the tire also, also what is in the center support around the threaded rod looks like some type of bearing. also how did you over come the off set that is caused by a general threaded rod. (small angle from the threads causing it to be off center of 90deg of rod)
Hi sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, reply's don't seem to work well on a cell phone for me. yes I could make those shaft for you. Where do you live. Address, send me your email address if possible. Some people said they where not able to.
Hi Brian, have only recently discovered your videos and found them to be the best I've seen for making cars, jigs etc. I immediately subscribed. Is it possible to get a plan for making your marvellous tread jig? Thanks
Thank you for sharing this excellent template to make these incredible wheels. I am sure that any child would be shocked and in love with these replicas that make any infant's dreams come true. I was wondering if you have plans that facilitate the construction measures and thus obtain such neat results. From the Llanos, to the south of Venezuela, our greatest consideration and respect. Affectionately yours
@@brianprocter6191 Thanks brother. Very grateful for that great support provided to develop these jobs that we are sure will excite our students. You can send us to funicllano@gmail.com. Thank you
Hi Brian I love the jig you have made I was wondering if you have plans for it that you you send to me I have watched a few of your videos and I must say you are a very talented craftsman I have loved them all.i am starting to make wooden toys myself and would love to make replica wheels as you do cheers Rick
I subscribed to your channel and have watched and really enjoyed the videos on toy making. I especially was impressed with your wheel making jig. Would you be kind enough to email me the plan measurements? My email is cmbclflyer@yahoo.com Thank you, Chris
Not exactly sure what you are asking, the grooves in the wheel I am making is just with the table saw blade, The cone shaped holes in the indexing wheel is made with a center drill. Center drill are used on the metal lathe, I find them very usefull also in the wood shop.
@@brianprocter6191 Dear mr. Procter, in your video (Jig 1) at about 3.5 - 4.10 you show a wheel, in wich you will make the (demonstration) cuts with the saw. It is the wheel with which you explain the connetion to the rod with the nut and wahshers. In that wheel there are already grooves, circumference and not square to the sawblade. Those grooves ar parallel with the wooden board with accross the metal rod on wich the wheel is bolted. How did you made those grooves?
@@peterverhulst9301 Ok I got it, forgot all about those grooves, If you can,make them for a more realistic tire tread for model trucks cars etc. I most likely made those on the lathe, maybe the metal lathe or wood lathe. Just a matter of gripping the wheel in a chuck. I know I have made wheel blanks by lathing a large dowel, then it is easy to make the grooves before one slices off wheel blanks. Use a parting tool flatways. I cut the wheels off with a chop saw. Thanks for bearing with me on that one.
HI Brian, I asked some months ago if you could send a plan of your indexing jig but it must have got lost in the either. So I am asking again if you would mind possibly sending me a plan. Hopefully this one will succeed. Love you unique way of making cars, they certainly are realistic.
I found your comment from 4 months ago, I had asked for an email address to send it to and I do not see a reply. I do not want to give that information here as anyone could email me about who knows what. You would not have that problem. Thanks for getting back to me...
Brian Procter Hi Brian, very clever jig. I would be interested in a plan. I am starting to make the reference wheels with your other jig. I would like to see the design of the « clicker » (the round pin that fit in the ref. wheel hole) so you can turn the wheel without having to explicitly pullout the pin. Is it made of wood or as I assumed of metal and kind of rounded? Thanks poiser007@gmail.com

is there a build plan available for this jig?
