  • Handling 65 lb iron tires, rolling and sizing them so they fit the wood cannon wheels. So I called this the wheelwright's gym. There is a lot of physical activity throughout the day so I really don't have a need for a gym membership.
    At least not yet.

    Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos. Since I use a large number of these, I do keep them in stock. An email to dave@engelscoachshop.com will get you a list of available sizes and pricing.

    I am a retired welder. I have worked all my live with steel mostly x-ray welds on natural gas pipe lines. I sit here in my easy chair and marvel at the fact that you work all alone. I don't believe that the average person that brings you work realize how hard you work and what a perfectionist you are. Really enjoy watching your videos!

    Just to put this in perspective, I'm probably ten years younger than Dave and was congratulating myself on an hour of monkeying around with some much lighter steel and a pair of pliers. Great work, as always!

      It is , ive done it many times , trying to get the rollers set is a tricky job , if you take a little each time it'll get to a point where it will over roll greatly so you have to do it in one roll ..

    I have to appreciate the enormous amount of effort that goes into the actual work, plus the additional time and effort the video takes. Thank you for that! I do have to wonder, with your ability to design and fabricate, why you haven't adapted a motor and foot control to the wheel roller?

    My friend Joe Bird used to make tyhese sorts of things, however he would take a piece of steel and roll the whole length to diameter and then weld the next piece on and continue until he ended up with a great big coil of steel which he would then cut to diameter. Oh, and he was a great one for attaching a small hydraulic motor to the winding handle. He had those things all over the shop.

    It is truly amazing what you do with what you work with. Even tho you have all you need to do the excellent work that you do, a lot of your equipment is what the wheel rights would have used at the turn of the century or before. A skill like yours is a dying thing that will be lost forever when you decide t o stop. That is one reason your work is so amazing. The story behind how you started this line of work is probably a very interesting one as well.
