Being Gentle With Old Buggy Wheels | Engels Coach Shop

Being a wheelwright involves assessing the condition of old wood, and sometimes being gentle with old wheels. Sometimes the intended purpose of old buggies doesn't warrant the expense of new wheels, so little repairs, and gently resetting steel tires, will hold a set of buggy wheels together for just a little longer. Eventually these wheels will require new felloes, or even new spokes, but for right now we can bring good sound to these wheels and make them useable for a while longer.

In response to a number of requests for the tools and supplies I use here in the shop, I have compiled a list as an Amazon Associate.
I have used Makita tools for almost 40 years, but am not sponsored by, nor endorsed by Makita. Perhaps this list will be of service to you as viewers, as well as provide a means to help support this channel.



These are not cheap, home improvement tools. I use tools hard so I use high quality tools. These prove to be less expensive in the long run.
