1,080 lb Wood Wheels; Borax Wagons | Massive Wheelwright Work

This is how we built the heavy wheels for the Borax wagons, from turning 300 lb. hubs to setting 600 lb. tires. The complete wagon building is in the Borax Wagon playlist. Thanks for watching. New Merchandise Stores! Store Frontier for shirts, sweat shirts and hoodies. Teespring for mugs. Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos.
