Motivated by a love of history and a desire to preserve our heritage, Hansen Wheel & Wagon Shop has grown to be the premier builder of authentic, horse-drawn vehicles.
I absolutely love to look at and admire the craftsmanship. It’s amazing to see the different wagons, carriages, stagecoaches, and other historical pieces brought back to life.
Wow I'd love to work with you all.... I have 2 real old wagon wheels that have seen better days. The steel rim is falling of the one but I can't part with them. God bless you all this holiday season. May 2024 be one of PEACE JOY & HARMONY among all. 🤠 🙏
These are logging wheels! With their massive size ten feet in diameter and six-inch wide steel tires, these wheels were designed to efficiently haul heavy logs out of the forest. Logging wheels enabled loggers to continue harvesting timber in the snowless season by providing an alternative to sled transportation or skidding logs out in frozen rivers. The development of these wheels in 1875 was attributed to Michigan wheelwright Cyrus Overpack. The large diameter of the wheels allowed for clearance over the logs and rolled more easily over the rough terrain. The Wheels were placed to straddle the log, just ahead of center. Pointing the pole upward brought the bolster behind the axle down, to be chained to the log. Pulling down the pole would lift the front end of the log off the ground, allowing it to be skidded out of the forest.
All of the trials and tribulations your ancestors had to put up with to exist is amazing. My family came in 1910 from Italy, Hungary and Germany / Poland. God love their perseverance. God Bless them and this great country. 🇺🇸 unless you came from over seas, you can never appreciate what this country stands for. ❤️
I will make a Stagecoach game and if you are interested it will be on boardgame geek. I will include a place called Hansen Farm in your honor. Just look for a company called Bludog Games.
Piece of trivia, if you want your guys to look authentic, then have them use button down suspenders. Belt loops for pants weren't invented until 1926. They all wore suspenders back then.
Heck of a nice rig there. I dont think anyone would have minded if you had a video longer than 10 seconds and explained about it more especially since people would need the rest of the stand too.
@@wild-radio7373 well, the whole thing is sold as a unit except the pot, right? Ive been looking for a new pot first but only see older ones with rust. I have also seen new pots but they dont have the hook on the back---and made in China!
@@cvcoco are you at all interested in making things? Otherwise, a local blacksmith is your next step. Or a Rondevouz meeting! They have sellers of these items also♡ Happy hunting! :)
