Are you going to have help setting the tire? From what I've read, this isn't a one person
job. I can't remember the name of the book larry talked me into reading. It is an
excellent reference. Maybe Larry will jump in with a title.

_The Wheelwright's Shop_ by George Sturt. Amazon is getting an arm,
leg, and firstborn for 'em nowadays. And someone stole the copy I
read from our local library. sigh

Some of the carriagemaking books include that info, too, but George
covered putting a tire on a wheel in good depth.

There is lots of smoke when it's done right, but J might get a permit
from the fire department, and some of the local firemen might want to
watch a wheel being made/tired, so he should call.

And then there is this big fire Bed of coals actually, so put a
grid over it and call it a steak pit.
