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. Since I use a large number of these, I do keep them in stock. An email to dave@engelscoachshop.com will get you a list of available sizes and pricing.
