Bob...

A suggestion: See if your local library has, or can request, a copy of
the Fox Fire books. This was a series of paperback books put together
by hgh school kids (in Appalaachia?) who interviewed oldsters in an
effort to produce a compendium of how things used to be done. One of
the volumes has an excellent chapter on making wagon wheels - with
information from people who actually did that for a living.
