+1. Lovely commentary too.

I wonder how they spell felloes?

As above:-)

You should all read *The Wheelwright's Shop* by George Sturt.

He describes in detail the making of a cart wheel. Similar procedure to
the film but the wheel *dished* rather than flat as the borax one. The
axles were inclined such that the wheel rim would *take the ruts* while
the top would allow a wider wagon body.

thh wheel in the vid. was dished, just not by so much
