The Wheelwright
Resource verified by SHCG editorial group
Host: Museum of English Rural Life
Date(s): 2007
Notes:
Douglas Andrews was filmed during the course of making a new set of wheels for a nineteenth century threshing machine - part of the collection of the Weald & Downland Open Air Museum. Tyring the wheel is the most dramatic part of the process with lots of opportunity for things to go wrong, especially at the point where the hot tyre is hammered down over the rim.
