Building 1, 018 lb Wagon Wheel For a Chandelier, Engels Coach Shop

This 1, 018 pound wagon wheel will be turned into a chandelier. This is the final building process, including hot setting a 553 pound steel tire in an open fire. This wheel is made using a red oak hub and ash for the spokes and felloes. The Borax rear wheels weighed 1, 080 pounds, but used a white oak hub and red oak spokes and felloes. The overall dimensions however are the same. The steel tire is 1 inch thick and 8 wide. Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos. Sin
