Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles, with wheelwright Dave Engel, sometimes reveals that even old, original buggy wheels were built incorrectly. This wheel repair shows that although we are prone to believe that the original is always correct, there are a number of occasions that show that workmen and women were susceptible to errors, just like today.

It's just cool and satisfying to watch a craftsman do their thing, doesn't really matter what it is. Crafts like these are getting more rare - no one making anything modern these days puts in nearly this level of artistry and finesse, it's all just CNC machines, computers, and assembly lines. (That is not to say that NO ONE works traditionally anymore - just that it's less common.)

​@@SergeyPRKL It strikes me that the more we ask of a product, and the more we optimise particular aspects of its performance, the less resilient it is to variations in quality. I guess at this same era, piano, firearm and timepiece actions were already good examples of highly demanding products where lapses in quality meant the product could not be used. The "American Organ" was popular and affordable in those days not because it did not require a lot of labour and material to build (it did) but it was not near as demanding as a piano, in terms of the finer points of the mechanism, so it did not require such skilled workers. (Also, it stayed in tune)

@@jetah50 Watch earlier videos. He is pushing the rubber ends away from the joint by tensioning the wires with the cranks until the wheel sucks up. Then the wire are cut and brazed together under tension. Then he beats the tire on the concrete to force the rubber to close the gap, but there is more rubber than space and so the rubber is always in compression after the gap closes and will never loosen up.

There are not that many people left in the world that could tell a person how those rivets became bent inside the spoke hub. When you showed them my first thought was it came from the accident but then you explained about the hammer used to form the rivet and blew my mind. I have watched all your videos and I always thought you needed a bigger hammer at times, I knew you had them in the shop but thought you were just making due with the one at hand. NOPE >.. you used the RIGHT hammer for the job. Then, watching you install the rubber tire and how you got out the same tools, and used the same method as before, in the same order, my mind said, 'HE HAS A method developed over years and years of doing the same job over and over'. Not a wasted move, or doubt, as to the outcome. It make me pretty sad that you do not have apprentices standing in line to learn your trade. I am not sure in my youth if I would have had the patience, or the work ethic, to do the craft justice. I was always in a hurry and looking for the short cuts, and ways to cut corners in everything I was taught. In my old age I see the folly in that type of thinking. Maybe, when I get to heaven, and have eternity to learn the skills and crafts needed for the new life, I will be better prepared to walk the road of apprentice. I am actually looking forward to learning many new things one day soon. Thanks for your hard work and patience filming, and uploading, these precious snippets into the life of a craftsman.

Great Video the wheelwright must of had his apprentice install the spooks. I bet that's the way he told that story later. You make molding rivet heads look so easy. I came across the need to do that one day. After watching your videos, I was thinking that I could do that too. YES, a smaller hammer is the key. After going thru 10 or so rivets. They started looking the part and got all 4 of them in " live able " form. ( And I told the story that my helper put them in ) " Just wish I had that helper. LOL Looking forward to watching your next Video.

I can attest to that. I have a degree in engineering ( mechanical ). The degree was the start, I learned most on the shop floor. Let me share a couple of stories. 1) I was working for a manufacturer of armored vehicles. We were asked to weld a series of nuts to a plate which was then welded into the vehicle shell. The part that was bolted on never fit properly. Finally got through to design that's weld shrinkage. Weld the plate into the shell, then put the other parts on and they stay in the right place. 2) Most of us here know what a center punch is and how it's used to lay out locations. Young design engineer thought a center punch is the middle punch on a three hole punch in the office

It is one thing to have the knowledge about how to do something. It is another thing to have the skill just to get the tools out and do it. I have knowledge of many things. Having the skill to put that knowledge to use is something I openly admit that I sorely lack. It is always a joy to watch a master doing something and making something beautiful.

I’ve ripped enough things apart, built enough things that as soon as he was done ripping it apart I thought of just about everything he’d need to do to put it back together. I’ve never done anything with wheels or watched any videos on them before lol. Just stuff like he pulled the old wires out and I think “man it would be a bitch to get those back in if you don’t lube it up and get any and all crud out that it could catch on”. Sure enough that’s just what he does. Little details like doing it both ways probably comes from experience because I might’ve just done it one way and seen if that was sufficient.

I just stumbled upon this site and I am very impressed, perplexed, intrigued, and in awe. I’ve always known that wheelwrighting was a highly skilled art, akin to cooperage or pattern-making. This is the first time I have seen anyone repair a wheel, and like most pros, you make it look simple. As a carpenter, I know better. Thank you for letting us “look over your shoulder” while you work.

That's maybe why we watchers don't get bored with the umpteenth wheel repair -- they're all a little different even just to sight, and maybe we pick up something from how you handle each one. Also, you've been real precise about pointing out quirks, which is very useful info.
