Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles often involves converting old wheels that have iron tires to hard rubber tires. Although this is an age old design, many original buggy wheels were built with steel tires, intended to drive on dirt roads, but modern paved roads encourage these wheels to be converted to hard rubber tires. This is the process to accomplish that task.
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.
This is a great reference book:Carriage Terminology: An Historical Dictionary
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.
