Building a full sized 48' wooden wagon wheel from 2x6 and 2x4's!!

I have always wanted to build a full sized Halloween Hearse, but each time I wanted to build it, I kept hitting the same wall, buy the wheels, make the wheels from plywood or support the hearse from the underside. None of these appealed to me, so this is the result. These wheels are built like an old red river cart wheel, no metal banding needed just a really clever design that allows you to build a full sized wagon wheel that will hold weight!

Can't wait to see your hearse build .. I cut all my wheels with a jigsaw what a pain but it was all out of 3/4 plywood.

Excellent. This is exactly what I was looking for to build a mobile military forge for our Revolutionary War reenactment group. The biggest expense to the project was buying the wheels, but using these plans and adding in the iron tires saves over $1k in costs. Can't wait to get started!

I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to say this is an amazing and I'm currently in the middle of building 4 of these now for my Halloween hearse. Thank you for the inspiration and know how. These are the only wagon wheels I trust but definitely a lot of work lol. You are appreciated. Nicely done!

this is exactly what i needed. I plan to build a Hansom cab and need 4ft wheels to make it look authentic.

This wheel IS the wheel deal, Samhain!💥😲👏👏👏 So there's no doubt that the complete hearse will be incredible! Even the doghouse is beautiful---with its stained glass windows.😄✌

Great job. I have been looking for a good template for a while. The wheel looks great. I am making a covered wagon for a neighborhood thing I host every year.

Mr Samhain you are an artist, I cant do this. I bought 4 wheels from a garden center. They are wood but meant for a garden display.

Hey! Great build. I tried to get the free template file and to purchase the 36” one to support you but I couldn’t finish the payout and couldn’t find your contact us page. Please advise!

I'm just thinking about the crazy amount of money it would cost for all that wood

[marsogreen]

Are you planning to insert bearings in the hubs?

[MONSTERMISFITS]

Damnit boy send it to me I need to 48s and 2 36s I'll build another one

Can The template be adjusted to make a 36" Wheel? or do have Template for 36" size?
