Wooden wheels are complicated to repair because the steel rim needs to be put on hot (it shrinks as it cools and tightens up all the joints). If the wheel has a rubber tyre as well, then the job becomes even more difficult because of the way those are fitted (the wire that runs through the tyre has to be hot-soldered together without melting the rubber). SO, if it is possible to make a repair to a spoke or a felloe without dismantling the wheel, then it has to be worth a try. This is how I did it, because only one felloe was rotten. The repair seems to be fine and practically invisible now that it is painted.
(I forgot to put this up earlier(!) - so it hasn't been posted in sequence. Obviously this should have gone up before the finished hearse video. Oops!)
