Yes, this will flex quite a bit. I also can't help thinking of the rust that'll be going on inside.

Your comment is kinda pointless. The saying you quoted has nothing at all to do with your conclusion. If you don't understand it just stfu.

@@coronalight77 I think it might make sense... everyone's critiquing the way this gentleman made his wheel yet I bet not one of them have ever made one themselves.. got it yet?

Thanks you should Check out my furniture on my website www.andersonwoodwork.net

Woahhh, how did you add finger grippers to yours?

@@MHVictorLee with a file and lots of very hard work

@@user-zt3zq8uf1z I see. Thanks so much for the advice!

@@MHVictorLee make sure that you have every finger grip even and start with thick wood so that it looks even with the top

I don’t know it just now has gotten traction I will have to do some new videos.

Go for it!

In this video it was mahogany but I do them in walnut as well

I have a p1800 wheel that is deteriorated, which is what this one looks to be in the video. What would you charge to do this to mine?

Using a lathe is a possibility, but not everybody has one.

And not every steering wheel is in center. The wheel spokes are sometimes not strong enough

Yes the guy I was making them for restores old Volvo,s

It is and it keeps me fit

A lot of classics will have steering wheels built before any sort of testing was introduced so it could well be safer than the originals. I believe some really old wooden ones didn't even have a steel rim so could splinter and puncture a lung in an accident. I agree its probably not technically legal on a medium age car and not on a modern one as you have removed the airbag.

Talking shit... things like numberplates and lighting have to conform to BS approval, you can fit what you want to pretty much anything regarding it ties in with construction and use...

@@DroneAndBimmerGyal Sorry what bit was "talking shit" Certainly not the original question as it was just that a simple question asking for a view. My reply was an honest opinion without going into a long winded reply. In a lot of cases the constructions and use refer to other standards. They are also not clear cut. e.g you can have a BS standard number plate that is wrong when bolted to a thin bumper where you can touch the edges, but not when its bolted flat to the body of the car. I found that out on one of the cars I put through an SVA. Because of its age I can have a Black and Silver number plate on one of my cars but not on another. If you take a steering wheel to the SVA I can say they will check its radii. Not just the rim but the edges of all the spokes and it probably wont pass if it has slots in the spokes that the test considers could trap a ring or cufflinks etc. At least you do seem to have some concern over the constructions and use unlike the ones with add on DRLS clipped into the side lights which are illegal because they don't dim when the main lights are on. A lot of things are added to cars afterwards that would actually be a fail if the car was going to an SVA but wouldn't fail an MOT. So I answered in a general way not knowing if the poster was talking about a new car, a classic or a kit in build. I don't believe I was "talking shit". I may be accused of making sweeping generalisations because a detailed response is often more than is needed.

@@andersonwoodworks9631 It's from a 60's vintage Volvo 1800S.

Thinking like an engineer...

You are right in a way, however if you did it the way you suggest then if the two pieces aren’t in exact alignment then you have a ridge where the two pieces meet. Then you have to sand out the ridge all the way around. Also it’s more difficult to clamp something that’s round, versus the two flat circles. Either way would work, it’s just a matter of which way you prefer to do it. A lot of woodworking comes down to that, many ways to do things it just depends on your preference. Sometimes the preference is dictated by the tools or skills that you have at the given moment.

He should have filled the whole cavity with epoxy!

You are spot on

I don't think I've ever seen a steering wheel this perfectly round. Even Factory Regional steering wheels tend to be more oblong shaped. This build is beautiful. I just wish there was finger notches

I know when making hammer handles, even though it takes longer, I make them elliptical. Just feels nicer in the hand and gives you feedback on tool position. File handles and stuff like that I just turn it round.

I quit making them I love making furniture

@@andersonwoodworks9631 Ever consider stepping out of retirement sir??

@@mauricebledsoe4722 ow I still do furniture check out my website www.andersonwoodwork.net

It doesnt. We die like men.

Your supposed to put your fingers through the holes to keep from going forward in the event of an accident....😉🤦‍♂️😆😆😆

Just because someone has a different opinion doesn't make it negative or hate

cause it may not line up correctly i think that is the reason why most finishing work was done after assembly

A Volvo I have a guy that restores old Volvo he asked me to make them for him and he would pay a good price.

I know right. Always gotta be these know it all's throwing they're two cents in like they know something. In

I make furniture for a living using hand tools I invite them to make a simple table unplugged and see how they do.

@@andersonwoodworks9631 The worst part is (at least I do this) when you get used to people giving really crappy criticism for a while, it gets hard to take good criticism. I hate the idea of me getting really good advice but being too jaded to listen. Thankfully woodworkers tend to be fairly polite as far as internet communication goes, so usually it’s easy to spot the people who might have a clue.

No they don’t always line up right and I would have to do it twice.

Dear god, how could he
