I make Spoked Steel Wheels in an Industrial Style, using Rebar for the Spokes - Rebar Project
I make Spoked Steel Wheels in an Industrial Style, using Rebar for the Spokes. I love anything industrial and if it has rebar in it then it is even better, and this project is one of my favorites, maybe because of the bit where I bend the flat bar into rings, using just a hammer, I have done this before, but I have never tried to video it before.
It was a fun rebar project to make and I hope you found something of use in my video or at least found it entertaining.
The wheels are 215mm (8.5 inches) High, the flat bar is 6mm thick (1/4 inch), and 50mm wide (2 inches) The rebar is 26mm across the widest part.
The main tools I used, were a MIG welder, angle grinder, drill, Hammer, and bench vise.
Tools / Supplies, I often use are.
