The Most Comprehensive Book on Building Carriage and Wagon Wheels—Ever!

Subsequent chapters follow the progressive steps in wheel construction, from pointing and tenoning spokes to installing felloes and setting tires. There is a chapter on boring and boxing hubs to complete the wheel building sequence.

A large number of appendices provide additional information on where to find wheelwright training, reference information for wheelwrights, measured drawings for building wheelwrighting tools, as well as technical sections on such topics as dish. Carriage wheels, carriage hubs, wagon wheels, general Wheelwrighting and Wheelwright training – this book has it covered.
