I make Spoked Steel Wheels in an Industrial Style, using Rebar for the Spokes - Rebar Project

I make Spoked Steel Wheels in an Industrial Style, using Rebar for the Spokes. I love anything industrial and if it has rebar in it then it is even better, and this project is one of my favorites, maybe because of the bit where I bend the flat bar into rings, using just a hammer, I have done this before, but I have never tried to video it before.
It was a fun rebar project to make and I hope you found something of use in my video or at least found it entertaining.
The wheels are 215mm (8.5 inches) High, the flat bar is 6mm thick (1/4 inch), and 50mm wide (2 inches) The rebar is 26mm across the widest part.
The main tools I used, were a MIG welder, angle grinder, drill, Hammer, and bench vise.
Tools / Supplies, I often use are.

This guy reminds me a lot of my dad, he was always making some cool project like homemade fireplace tools complete with with fire tongs, poker, shovel and stand. I still have a huge completely functional bear trap made with teeth and double sprung. He even made his own hot rivets he forged and hammered in. Of course he did that forging on his homemade anvil. I sure miss him. ❤️

I would be down with a set of these for my DIY tool chest instead of inflatable tires. Theyd look exo on the big chunky coffee table too.

[@FrustratedBaboon]

Wow, those look like a piece of art. They can be used as an ab wheel for exercise.

[@rossnielsen6820]

Your creativity is inspiring. I've used rebar for cooling trays on my bench grinders. I used it for my handle on my bandsaw stand also. Just beautiful work man!

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thank you very much Ross, I appreciate your comment. I love the look of rebar. Cheers!

[@kandkmotorsports]

Great wheels Gavin! I have made some steel wheels for my hit and miss engine carts. Instead of bending band iron I had a steel shop cut 3 inch wide pieces of 8 inch diameter steel pipe. The five spokes is great, not often you see 5 spokes, nice touch! I also like your hub design, plenty of "bearing" surface but looks proper on the axle end. The castle nut is another nice touch that makes it look the part! Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it. Cutting 3 inch strips of pipe would be the smart way to do it, I don't do "smart" I have a hammer. Hahaha, I appreciate your comment. Cheers!

Thank you very much, I am glad you liked it, and I very much appreciate your feedback.

[@generessler6282]

Brilliant. When I saw the final product at the beginning I thought, "oh this time he'll need a serious tool to bend the rim." Yeah, right 😅

[@GavinClarkdiy]

Hahaha, smart people would have used a bit of 8 inch pipe and cut it up, or used a bender, not me, I use a hammer. Cheers!
