Disliked? The only thing in this video is a man with incredible talents plying his skills in a job that he loves - what is to dislike? Only a scrooge with uncontrollable self-loathing would find something to complain about in this clip.

"I think I used long enough rivit" Sir if you use long rivits and then cut them a quarter inch ten times to bring them to size, it is alright for me because I think you are the best one who knows what is best. May God give you good health 🙏 and you continue teaching others with less knowledge of this beautiful art. God bless you 🙏. An apprentice from a far off land.

[@gregorycross612]

Not long ago I read a comment from one of your viewers that pretty much said, "....hit the thumbs up before watching, ...it's going to be good!" I could not agree more! I found your channel a couple days ago while sitting at home while West Texas was covered in snow and ice. Excellent content and very enjoyable. I have watched most of the Borax wagon videos and will be watching other play lists as well. Great alternative to television! Thank you for taking the time to share your skills with us! 🤠👍

Thumbs down? Probably just didn't want to see these sort of vid again. Myself I just can't get enough Dave. Thanks, thumbs up, and respect from nearly non covid NZ.

The old wagons from my grandmother's side of the family are out in the barn, maybe they will be restored someday. There is a box bed, that has a rotted wheel fellow, and somebody had place sickle mower sections in between the fellows as shims to tighten up the wheels. A buggy is in parts and we have seven wheels for it. A spring wagon that is pretty good too. A bastard cousin let them sit in the weather because he was in control and jealous, so they are not beautiful. A primitive sleigh that we put a coat of clear lacquer over the red and green original paint sits in the parlor of our home. We don't have horses to pull this fleet, but just want to preserve the heritage in the family. I love this channel and this shop, would like to visit someday just to get a feel of the magic, but Indiana is a long way from Montana. Thank you so very much for keeping the good ole days alive!

Most sincere thanks for making these videos,and of course for keeping this incredible old trade alive,and helping keep all these old conveyances on the road! I rarely id ever watch videos,but this was incredibly good,and now re-reading "the Wheelright Shop" will be even more enjoyable. Your great competence speaks for itself,and i particularly admire the fairly humble set of tools that you get by on(and so many look shop-built or at least modified.That takes a Lot of work and care).Love your old LG(can't see if it's a 25 or a 50,those are lovely old hammers).But again,the best part is your cal competence and at So many different phases of that complex trade...Respect,and Thank you.

[@raincoast9010]

I said "What, no glue?" and out comes the glue! ha ha Interesting repair, i "wood" have thought it was too brittle to clamp without steaming the fellow first.

[@nathanokun8801]

You could rivet armor plates in a pre-WWII tank together with rivets that long (and they did).

[@richardmattingly7000]

Repairing a split/joint in old wood is more about getting it clean more than anything else so glue can have a surface to bond too and having the patience to let it set often up to 24 hrs for maximum strength. Paint as well as other debris or damage is like trying to weld heavily rusted metal together because it acts like a barrier/containment and it will often fail if stressed. One of the biggest challenges in repairing wood is if it's lost to must moisture because it was in an extremely dry environment and most kiln or air dried lumber still has around 8% moisture content when used. Indeed wood can change seasonally and most musicians will tell you the instruments made with it can sound different which is why they'll carry it instead letting it travel in a shipping container with other luggage. Kudos on taking the time to repair the split instead of just filling/sanding it flat that would of been the first impulse of a novice, do you recommend waterproof or just standard wood glue for a wheel repair and have your tried any Polyurethane Glue/Epoxy instead? 🛠

Richard Mattingly As my Father would, as in many things, preparation is 90% of the job. R

[@markwatson9816]

6:08 - Probably one of the few owners of a ball peen hammer actually preening a rivet with it. At least nowadays;-)>

[@MrKotBonifacy]

@ 4:41 - well, I'd rather use some epoxy-based adhesive than a regular PVA glue. You see, PVA wood glue is a water-based emulsion, which means it sorta binds up at the first layer of "resistance" - as soon as it encounters any water-hungry substance (like dry semi-rotten wood, dirt or dust) the water gets sucked up, the emulsion coagulates, and penetration stops. Epoxy resins are much better at penetrating porous substances and binding dirt or dust - they might be quite viscous, but the have very low surface tension, just like a regular car engine oil.

[@gordbaker896]

Nice one. You likely know that some 12 point sockets will fit those square nuts and save you some time by using the 1/4 impact driver.

[@lwilton]

You can also get 4 point sockets. I don't know though that I'd personally be inclined to use an impact driver. Not that many threads to spin on or off, and I'd personally prefer to be able to feel the tension on the wrench.

[@davidharris6581]

I think it was a new tire.

[@TomLeg]

I noticed that ... Unfortunately, I posted after viewing the first one

[@prdoohan]

I came here to ask the same. I figure dirt and water impacted in the old holes would be counterproductive. Now to watch it actually being done in the next video :)

[@nosadonions3231]

When you resizes the metal rim to fit the aged wood do you have to take into consideration of the wheel on the other side of the wagon/buggy? Does it cause the vehicle to pull to the smaller/larger side?

[@jeffledlow1955]

I have been subscribed now for quite a while and truly love watching what you are doing. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to list some of the tools that you use. I have just one question that I am simply dying to know the answer too. HOW MANY CLAMPS DO YOU HAVE AND WHERE ON EARTH DID YOU FIND THEM ALL? LOL!

did you weld in the old rivet holes

[@robertgross6740]

Do you ever use steam to soften the aged hard wood?

[@ccswede]

I noticed you reused the metal part of the wheel and after resizing and installing you had to drill holes for the rivets. What happens to the old holes? It seems like they would allow water and junk to reach the fellows. Does it matter? Having driven wagons 2 and 4 in hand all this really fascinates me. The wheels for my wagons were made in Montana but I don’t know where. The man that made the wagons is gone. Thanks for your work and explanation of the details.

[@mattwood7796]

I was about to ask the same question, but I thought I might scroll down to see if anyone else already did. I came across some of these fasteners a few years ago. Now the both of us wait patiently for someone in the know to chime in.

[@davidharris6581]

I'm only replying so I can hear the answer too when it comes. I have tried searching fluted nail with threads and several other combinations but have yet to come up with a name.

[@moconnell663]

About the best I can come up with as a catalog pat would be a plow bolt (flat-head carriage bolt), or pull the sleeve off of a stud-type concrete anchor. I believe Mr. Engles turned regular bolts down on the lathe in another video.

How do you make the rubber tire

[@nigelheffernan3857]

Hi Dave hope you enjoyed the video I sent to you from Ireland just a quick question about the repair would wooden dowels not have done on the fellow repair as they would expand and contract with the wheel ?

[@suwitomuchtar8862]

Im follow with you sir

[@peternicholsonu6090]

Noticed you let old rivets fall to the floor. Recent video you used a stick with magnet on the end to retrieve the metal debri when done. Am guessing metal shavings also would fall to the floor. In the past I would say “well they can’t fall any further” and not worry about them till a job was done. Then I got to use a shot blasting machine to scour the surface off concrete floors prior to resurfacing. Inevitably 1mm steel shot balls would escape the vacuum return into the machine and scatter about hither and thither. I used a metal tray with a push handle hip height and with a wheel each end (bit like old push mowers) allowing the tray to be pushed about 3-4mm above the floor. Inside the tray was a long magnet connected to a release lever on the handle. I would push this all over the floor and thereby pick up all steel shot plus swarf if near a lathe then push onto a piece of cardboard. Pull the release handle and thereby deposit them dust free steel onto the cardboard for retrieval. Worked a treat.

[@outlawfarms6961]

Is there a way to fix it without taking the metal band/rim off?

[@crazymfndude6564]

Inquiry for the knowledge of it but why not use the original tire on the repaired wheel? As always great video sir! I tip my hat.

did you plug weld the old holes in the tires off screen? just curious if that is necessary.

[@davidharris6581]

Did I see a hammer wedge come out of that fello with the bondo? Seems kind of picky but I wonder if those soft rivets could be blackened with some burnt oil and heat? I know it is probably just easier to paint them to keep them from rusting.

[@Inimbrium]

Trying to work out if the country & western music playing in the background is playing in the shop or added in post. :) Also wondering what happens to the old bolt holes in the tyres. Presumably they no longer line up. Do you weld them closed?
