The Art of the Wheelwright
We have produced a
video series called The Art of the Wheelwright, designed to help those who are visual learners, like
me. There are some really good books out there on the wheelwright
trade and this video certainly doesn't take the place of those, but hopefully
supplements them. It's kind of like coming to
Program
one is geared towards the newly
inspired and excited individual who just can't wait to buy that first buggy or
wagon and get their horse(s) hooked up and driving. It's the tape that says,
"Whoa there a minute, partner. Before you get too excited about this,
let's look at a few things about the wheels that you need to know so you don't
end up getting burned." I go
through common repair concerns in older wheels, do they fit properly on the
axle, and how to identify different wheel styles.
Program
two is directed more to those who
want to see how buggy wheels are put together. Some of you folks
would love to build your own wheels and this will be of help, actually seeing
the step by step process. And you don't have to sign up for a class or leave
home! Others of you would merely just like to be in the shop while wheels are
being built, just to see how it works,
but there are just too many miles between us. This is the tape for you
both. Books are great, but you know what they say? "A picture is worth a
thousand words!"

three - hopefully to come in the
future - will most likely address either wheel repair problems or heavy wheel
building. Have a preference? Let me know! Your feedback on any of the tapes is
