irnsrgn, your half size wagon is great.I agree the smaller the wheel the harder to make. I have made several Studebaker clone goat wagons, they take as long as it takes to build a full size spring wagon.I have all the wheel work that I can do on a part time basis,I guess my question was why do you not see or hear of it being demostrated at any of the gatherings?
civilwarblacksmith, a wainwright builds heaver wagons ie high wheel, freight,log and so on.
Dan OHare, I havent seen the videos, but heard they were great. We have all the current literature and books.We have drove far and wide to glean knowledge on the craft,and talked to many helpful people who was more than willing to share their knowledge. It just seems the younger people are not intrested.
