Hot setting 450 pound tires on 780 pound wheels for the Borax Water Wagon with an open fire, just like they did originally in the 1880s. Even though I used a forklift to lift the hot tires from the fire, the process of setting these tires is using the same age old method and principles of our forefathers. Thanks for watching the process!

Carpenter, blacksmith, metallurgist, machinist, welder, mechanic, wheel wright, math whiz, upholsterer, painter, designer, researcher, historian, these are a few of the skills required to be a "Wagon Master". So all you young 'Bucks' who want to do this, had best get started!

As I watched you labor over putting this wagon together, it takes me back to the 1800s and thoughts of those early skilled craftsmen who used the same primitive tools to build the first wagons. They would work up a sweat as they used their power saws to cut the wood, electric drills to drill and line up their holes, cutting torches to remove extra iron, and fork lifts to move the heavy pieces around. It must have been a trying time. Seriously, I really appreciate watching how you build these monstrous wagons. Keep up these wonderful videos.

Had about 70 or 80 home made profile blades for his plane that he made himself for making edge profiles. He also made his own glue from cow hooves. Joy and pleasure to watch, just like your self.

They most likely would have set up a triangle of three poles with a pulley at the top one one side of the fire, and another one 30 feet away or so on the other side, and arranged a pair of capstans to manage a rope between the pulleys with a block and hook in the middle. A couple people on each capstan and a few more to manage the tire, using the same kind of hooks used here, and it would have been fairly easy.
@thisnicklldo
@thisnicklldo 5 лет назад
Yes, it must have been quite the enterprise - lots of men and ingenuity. But I guess 480 lb tires would have been exceptional even then. They might have been able to operate under a travelling crane, if they had a decent sized works, and maybe wheels this size would have been made, or at least have the tires done, in such a works. Mr Engels seems to be able to do normal tires all by himself, which scares me to watch, but he seems pretty cool about it.

Seeing the water water wagon take shape in your shop was wonderful. But it does nothing to give you scale of the wagon. When you rolled those metal tires in off the forklift I suddenly realized that the wagon was huge! I knew it was big, but darn those tires are well past big. If tackling the borax wagon and now the water wagon doesn't prove you're crazy, then it must mean your skilled enough to do it alone (with a little help). I am running out of words to explain how much I appreciate your sharing this with me. I guess that I'll try thanks. It's not enough though.
