Working With Bent Wood Wheels | Dynamics of Being a Wheelwright

As a wheelwright, the dynamics of wood plays a big role in assembling wood wheels. Accurate mathematics is also fundamental and the smallest mistakes can add up to big errors. On heavy wheels, spokes and fellows undergo extreme flexing during the building process, often times being brought near the point of breaking. Once the fundamentals of the wheelwright are understood in light wheels, the same principles can be applied to heavy wagon wheels. I try to explain those principles here.
