Honing the cylinder on the old tyre machine worked a treat. Once the machine was reassembled Hubby was able to change the tyres on the trailer. I had never seen a car tyre changed so I just had to take a look and as it turned out lend a hand. The old tyres were hard to get off the rims but once that was done the new ones were put on. The whole job would have been easier if the tyre machine was mounted to the floor as it should be but Hubby has not decided where he will put it yet and he will have to be sure he picks the right spot.

Orien MacDonald makes tools from his Gila, NM home. Specifically hand-forged knives, carving tools, archery bows, and other useful wood and metal items. He appears to knock out a beautiful kitchen knife over the course of a day in this video, a serious feat of skill. His prices are reasonable and knowing that you'll have a one of a kind hand made item is well worth the cost. His inventory is constantly changing, to see what's available at the moment check out his Etsy shop: Old School Tools.
