Default Re: make a wheel out of tree trunk

You must give those folks credit for what they can make using only a machete, chisels, hammer, leather and other primitive hand tools. As a former vocational teacher, I really appreciate their skill and creativity.

As a side note, I did something similar when I recapped my worn out lawn mower wheels. First two photos are of 2016 recap install using bicycle tires and screws. Last two photos show same wheels as of Aug. 2024 still working fine after 8 years of weekly use. No machete required.
