A hat tip to you sir!!! I just watched you do the work of at least 5 highly skilled people. Engineer/Welder/Machinist/Electrician/Machine Assembly and operator. As a retired machinist and machine assembler I truly enjoyed your video!

Wonderful! The roller guides are simply brilliant! Thanks for sharing!

As a 69 year old mechanic, machinist, welder,ie Fabricator I admire this ingenuity. Simple,inexpensive & accurate.

Wow! Just wow! Did I say, "Wow?" Obviously, the end result justifies all the work involved in producing this marvelous machine. Well done!

I’m 73 , we were cutting rims n widening them in the 60s . Looks like the idea matured. steel wheels are preferred in certain applications . Good job

A wonderful example of basic fabrication skills honed by years of practice and a joy to watch. Unfortunately seen very little anymore

Very genius build. It gives me ideas for fabricating snow/all terrain tracks for vehicles, atv’s, and utv’s. Thank you for getting the gears turning even faster in my head.

Wonderful. I had a pair of OEM polished aluminum Ford wheels from my 2012 Mustane widened by a craftsman in Michigan. I don't know how HE did it, but it came out very well. 8" wheels became 10" wheels, yet looked STOCK. Same idea. Props on an easy-to-understand and well-thought-out build.

Уважаемый друг коллега Вы большой мастер СНАЙПЕР в точности и акуратности в своей работе. Вам дальнейших успехов .. все очень грамотно

Отдельное спасибо за непрерывную сварку.

really like this project. Thanks for sharing. I often thought about buidling something like this as well. One reason was to also straighten bent wheel rims, as well as to produce round parts like pressure tanks. Now to find a good spot in the workshop to store this fixture !

Hi from Japan. The playful tolerance of motorcycles and buggies produces high-level fixtures, and we respond with gratitude. The wheel that I was able to see today was the author, and a lot of your ideas and wisdom were put into it. Have a nice day. Greetings. Follow/🔔~

A true metalworks craftsman! Just simply OUTSTANDING!

Have to admit, thats a tool ill never need and a process Ill never desire for my car. Yet I respect the craftsmanship and technique to make it happen.

Definitely, the design, the workmanship, the achievement, are beyond description.Thanks.

Impressive work. You obviously put a lot thought into the design, and as others have mentioned not a CNC machine in sight. Very well engineered and very enjoyable watching the process. 👍

Impressive. :) I like the approach to the problem. Where I used to work we had weld tables to weld round objects. I've done hundreds of setups on this machine so the workers could weld all kinds of stuff on it.

That was a great build! It’s a treat to watch a true craftsman at work.

I've literally no idea why you would want to do this, but extremely impressive! Bravo!

Вооруженность вашего гаража выше любых похвал,молодец!

Решение гениальное. Исполнение шикарное.

Not only a brilliant display of expertise but also this Gentleman engineering understanding is second to none , congratulations to Sir I loved the concept with the added accessories , a magnificent video ....Thank you for sharing your Idea

What an excellent piece of engineering all 'round. Respect!!

Нет ничего невозможного, главное иметь желание двигаться вперёд к новым идеям.Respect!

Wow!! That’s a big project that produced beautiful results!!

Excellent workmanship! Sure beats the way we did Ford wide 5 lugs back in the '50's/'60's for early "stock cars". We used an old brake drum lathe with a center section of"37 Ford rear hub. Accurate enough for "circle burners".

You create some awesome tools. I enjoy every single one of your videos. Thanks for the inspiration.

Fantastic video! Excellent planning and splendid final result as always!

Great build friend!! This is the kind of skill industries were built from!!

It seems to be very essential for a certain sort of automobilistics drive on widened slics to show all guys what sort of helldriver you are, but great compliment to the constructor 👏

You're pretty damn handy, lol! I'm also pretty sure you did a better job than the factory did when they made that wheel. Only thing I would have done is made the wheel wider if I was going to go to all that work. Good job, Man!

Very well made. You are very good at what you do. Excellent craftsmanship

Back in the 70's, I did work for a company that manufactured RV's in Los Angeles. They modified small import pick-up trucks. They needed wider tires for the back, they did exactly what you saw in the video. I don't recall the machine that cut the rim all that complicated though. It seemed they cut the wheel on a lathe, didn't use a cut-off disk like in the video. They then welded a section of pipe in, I don't recall what kind of welder, believe it was a MIG welder though. Apparently the wheel size they needed was not commercially manufactured, they needed them, they built them. Jim

What a superb video! The plan and the workmanship are a thing of beauty.

My son had to make a couple of wheels wider one time. We just cut a plate on the cnc to mount the wheel to an engine stand and one person held the plasma cutter and the other rotated the wheel. Of course it was not DOT approved for highway use. It was just for a 1500 hp pulling truck. That was some nice looking welds.

Learning how to widen a rim is one thing. Knowing how make the machine is another and seeing both happen is believing. Kudos 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

This is how we widened wheels when I worked for Tacoma Wheels, back in the 1960's. Still works!

Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thank you for sharing. Take care of yourself, be safe, and healthy 🇨🇦

Every single post you have made is impressive. I remember the first shop and the things you made in. You should be very proud of yourself.

يا له من تدقيق في العمل لم أكتفي مرة واحدة من مشاهدة هدا الابتكار شكرا رائع جدا أستاد 👍❤️🇲🇦

Очень грамотный механик! Респект!!!

*_You have presented a creative and interesting idea, and there were other tutorials in this video that I enjoyed watching. Well done._*

Wow amazing. I used metal hacksaw machines in the 70s. The blades were often breakin tho. The company made roller shutter doors.

True craftsmanship. Genius.

WONDERFUL WATCHING SKILLED ENGINEER MAKING STUFF. LOVE IT

Absolutely first class video. Thoroughly enjoyed watching from start to finish. Excellent 👍

Being said that it is an outstanding work and i have enjoyed watching his performing a lot. Thanks 👏 I have to point that making wider change all the physics, stress, tensión so as the rims shoulg had to be reinforced as new loads have to be contemplated, and i would not rely my life driving a car to its limits with that wheel, neverthelesd again a fantastic lesson on machinery. 👍

Excellent all round engineering skills. Great to watch.

Just one of the things that makes this such a great channel is it teaches processes w/o saying anything, and shows people that they can do things they wouldn't have tried before. Anyway, thanks for another amazing build/video. One day I hope your time/effort ends up being noticed by someone so you'll benefit. God bless.

Отличный аппарат. Спасибо за ваш труд

Nicely done! Nothing more satisfying than doing it yourself

Amazing like from indonesia country 👍🇮🇩

Way back in the early 1970's I had a set of wheels widened by cutting and inserting a band. This was in Launceston, Tasmania - the shop that did it was very busy as most wheels back then were for tubed tyres and 4.5" rim width, with most cars having huge distance from the body to the rim. The car enthusiasts all wanted 6.5 - 7.0 inch rims and the tyres for that were all tubeless, so the welding job had to be good. Not sure what kind of equipment the shop used, but the results were perfect. It's no longer legal to run wheels widened this way in Australia.

Now that's how you make a machine to make your job easier very accurate from what I can say

Amazing to watch. If you're already on the lathe for heavy duty work I would bevel the two welding surfaces about half way down, you still get half of the flat surface for alignment & much stronger welds that can be ground flat & retain strength due to the root

Hello and thanks for the inspiring vid. Your workshop seems to be well equiped. Wouldn't mind shedding some light on the welding and drilling machine ( brand, type, capacities, ...).

Great skillful work with basic facility, work from heart with great passion.

Very Awesome! Thanks for making this Video for us! 👍👍👍📹

Nice application of some basic engineering. Simple, but highly effective. Makes me want to investigate what else you have on your channel. Well done.

Сталь как бумага в руках мастера до самого конца видео не понимал в чем идея мастера 😀👍

Not many videos impress me…this one does. Great job

Настоящий Подлец ! Ну , так Нельзя ! ( Красавец !!!!) .

2:30 Hole spacing is measured with a digital gauge by measuring the diameter of one hole, zeroing the measurement and measuring the hole spacing between the outside tangents of the two holes. The cut-out is the size of the centers of the two holes 🙂

You Sir are a mechanical genius!

guauuuu que soldaduraaaa tanto trabajo para llegar a ese nivel, un genio sos un genio.... admirable..... no tenes "techo amigo" exitos

You do super nice clean work my man. Very impressive. I want a lathe badly

This was super cool to watch. Keep up the cool stuff!

Hermosa máquina y hermoso el trabajo terminado!!! Te felicito.

More than impressive! What ingenuity!

Wow, my friend. Incredible fabrication. Incredible talent. Nicely edited video, too. Congratulations. Well done man!

Great build. I learned something new today, thanks!

All i can say is DAMN, this guy has some serious talent. WOW!!!!!!!!!

Great job, thank you brother. You are so talented

Теперь осталось всего то. Построить гоночный автомобиль и трассу для покатушек. 👍😃

MY GUY THIS NEEDS TO BE PATENTED AND SEE IF THERE IS A DEFINITELY A MARKET FOR SOMETHING THAT USEFUL AWESOME JOB 👍🏼

Its a great mechanic & skillful engineer it makes me happy...

5 star work you made look so easy tank you for sharing

Nice bit of engineering well thought out nice to see some decent welds

Здравствуйте, не чего не понятно, но очень интересно🤔💭 полезная информация!как хорошо когда есть всё инструменты и сверлильный и токарный станок под рукой и тёплое помещение!круто это всё из-за диска разведки самовары! 👍🤔похоже с сузуки!?

Good job, As always, great work! Thanks for the great video . 👍

Interesting fabrication build of a tool to do more fabrication. I can see its use in certain shops that deal with wheels regularly needing modification. I couldn't use it personally, but I did like the process and final build.

You sir are a badass thinkeradoodicator genius lol very well done,never would have thought of that myself,that is why I subscribed to this site.

Просто красавчик. Хорошая работа. Молодец!

Excellent as always, thank you. Cheers.

That was awesome! great video, great build.

Хорошо когда руки НЕ ИЗ жопы растут !!! Браво Мастеру !!!

Your competence and skill is extraordinary... (But you already know that😉)

I'm just amazed, I like watching things being built

really well done. I've seen a lot of shit on KZfaq so it's refreshing to see someone who has actual skills. you'll get a lot of good use out of that jig
