I know its not forging BUT if you have anything with wheels and you want to fix your own tires- you're going to want this tool in your shop!
In this video I take you through the steps to build this diy tire spreader and give you the measurements for all of the pieces along the way. As always, I'll demonstrate at the end of the video.

Hi, I'm Jayce, the blacksmith behind Farmstead Forge. I am a farrier by trade; I learned the basics of blacksmithing at shoeing school and the rest I learned on my own. I'm excited to expand my knowledge and continue learning while also sharing my passion with others.
Join me in the shop on my Montana farmstead where I enjoy building tools and other fun projects that we can use around the place.

In Montana you need this, with all the gravel roads. Nice simple build Jayce and well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@FarmsteadForge]

Thanks. Ya I patch more tires than I care too unfortunately but it's better than having to take them to town.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Another useful tool for the shop! Good step by step build! I strongly "Second" the three comments below! Good post!

[@FarmsteadForge]

Thanks Bob!

Good way to start my snowy morning in SW Wisconsin. You're a pretty handy guy Jayce! I like it!

[@FarmsteadForge]

Thank you! It has been a mild winter here so far but it sounds like the subzero temps are starting this week. I busted out a bunch of shoeing this weekend so that hopefully I can just work in the shop during the cold snap!

[@danieltesar7771]

We are just starting to get a little cold here, but we got slammed with 10" of snow yesterday. I've been trying to bust butt to catch up on horses too!

..That's handier than a Sheriff in your pocket! a Whole lot easier than pushing a tire onto a rim or piece of firewood, Well done sir...! oh, Yes on the handles.

[@FarmsteadForge]

Haha that's hilarious! Thanks for the feedback. Growing up we always used a double open end wrench, so this is definitely an improvement.

[@waltercoronel8489]

Espectacular. !!!!

[@FarmsteadForge]

Thank you!

Ready to put boots in all day!

[@FarmsteadForge]

Haha not all day, I'm not that in love with patching tires!

[@dubmob151]

Are the rollers really that necessary for these things? Do the tires being repaired frequently have a continuous set of holes throughout the perimeter that need to be patched? Or is the reason for it because it's unknown where the hole is, and this allows it to be spun around easily in search of the hole?

[@FarmsteadForge]

Not necessary, but it makes it a lot nicer especially if you are using a pick to dig gravel or a nail out of the hole, you can move it around as needed.

[@dubmob151]

If you didn't have the materials already on hand and had to buy them, what's the approximate raw material cost?

[@FarmsteadForge]

I honestly have no idea, it really depends on your location and what prices are like there.

The only way that "Atlas Tube Repair" kit could be any cooler is if it were "ACME Tube Repair."

[@FarmsteadForge]

Ya that would be pretty cool. I'd like to find an old tire advertisement sign to hang above my tire changing station in my shop. Thanks for watching!
