These final steps are making sure all 60 joints in these wheels are correct, so when the tire is set, all 60 joints are tight. These Holt logging wheels are more challenging than most wheels, but they're coming together nicely. Thanks for coming along!

Your detailed explanation of each piece with each minor adjustment reminds me so much of other devices. I don't know if you have an engineering degree but you talk like a mechanical engineer. My uncle designed bridges and drew the plans for them. His brother was a foundry supervisor and knew everything about industrial metal work. My dad was a supervisor at U.S. Steel. Their uncle was a civil engineer for the railroad. Together, they could tell you anything you wanted to know about construction using metal. Your details remind me so much of the way they used to explain things to me when I was a kid. Maybe that's why your videos are so fascinating to watch. Thanks!

This 10 ft. wheel is truly a magnified version of a wagon wheel. You have a big job yet to get these tires set. and I assume you still have another hub and bunch of wood to put together. and will you be able to perform the heating and mating or setting, let alone the moving and where to put this wheel or ship it. But I'm proud you don't get ahead of the deal and try to explain all that you just explain what is the problem for this week. Thanks Dave for your courageous spirit.

No surprise to me that everything stayed aligned without the clamps. You're a genuine, true craftsman. After working with wood in many forms through my life, i know the accuracy and experience required to get so many joints lined up. I can't think of anyone else who would begin to come close. I have had a hand in building a wheel in the early 90s when Phil from the UK tv program Time Team came to the college i was attending during my apprenticeship and i remember the difficulties we had getting everything right, even as pretty experienced machinists! The college was excellent, it taught many "old" skills like wood turning, blacksmithing, upholstery etc. I was attending to further my turning and veneering/marquetry. A pleasure to watch your progress and learn from your experience. Thanks for sharing!

*- Dave, your deft explanations about the complex engineering physics at play with this and other wheel designs {the part about how the "dish would increase on other type wheels, for example} brought great insight to me.* *- Without the compression "give" of wood, aligning wheels would be impossible.* *- Imagine the constant "clattering" sound from all of of the joints, and slop and wheel weakness, that would be inherent if rigid plastic or metal were used!*

@ericvogel1126 10 месяцев назад

The skills that you demonstrate, describe craftsman. It's amazing how much knowledge the old Wheel Wright's had to have to accomplish what they did on such a large wheel. And they had far fewer power tools to help them. I'm curious; did more than one man work on such a large wheel and how long would such a project take? Thanks again Dave, for what you do.

@truracer20 10 месяцев назад

It all depended on the shop. When Holt originally produced these wheels there was undoubtedly an assembly line approach. And their plant would have been full of liine shaft driven power tools. At the time these wheels were produced machine cut millwork was readily available in lumber yards. Even intricate wood window sashes were 95% machine made. But when it came to field repairs it was likely done by one man with help as needed. Just like logging outfits today, there is usually a maintenance team that takes care of equipment maintenance and repair. For sure at that time the team would include a man skilled in the wheel wright trades.

@GenderSkins 10 месяцев назад

When you started this, I had been trying to figure out what in the world needed a wheel that big. Tonight I saw that it was a Holt Logging wheel, or what some call a Michigan Logging Wheel. Was not until I found a post card from 1939 showing a Michigan logging wheel, and understood that it was operated by looping a chain under the logs, then winching them up enough to hang free of the ground, allowing the horse team to pull the load without dragging. So when you think about a log that is 50 to 60 feet long, and say 40 inches in circumference yes you need a wheel that big to carry the load, other wise you have to drag it which still requires a draft horse to pull such a load.

@asw19B100 10 месяцев назад

Well the splines are hardwood with long grain orientation so they’re pretty tough in the absence of any dynamic loading, and they’re mainly for alignment until the tire is installed and shrinks to final size taking care of the alignment issue with all the radial force being applied tightening the joints between fellies. The craftsmanship here is extraordinary and its perpetuation is so important.
