Water Wheels

Is a Water Wheel What You Need?

Are you looking for that feature to make your business stand out or persuade a reluctant client to go ahead with a project. A wood water wheel could be what you need to close the sale or expand the project.

A well made water wheel provides a smooth sense of motion and brings back memories of slower times. In addition a water wheel helps maintain a balanced pond ecosystem by providing aeration and keeping the water moving. Low maintance and a lifespan of 15-20 years combined with ease of installation can help the customer justify going ahead with the project.

The undershot cedar wheel above is a popular spot for weddings and is pushed by the stream running beneath it.

To the right is an inner spoke wheel in an aviary.

Water wheels work well both indoors and out and can be a real attention getter for a business as customers stop in to watch the wheel. With a properly designed stand they are safe in liner ponds or they can be mounted on a “mill house” that can be used to hide the trash bins or propane tanks.

Some water wheels are made to be rustic but water wheels can also be made to look light and artistic with the spokes set into the center of the wheel or by changing the number or shape of the spokes creating a moving work of art. A good place to see a wide variety of wood water wheel styles and mounting ideas is at www.IronHorse.citymax.com . You can buy water wheels from them or the supplies and advice needed to build your own water wheel.

You may find that you would be better off purchasing the wheel from an experienced water wheel builder who knows the angles and joints needed when the wood shrinks and expands over the years of water, heat, and ice and can help you select the perfect wheel design for your project. An experienced wheel builder can also help you design the mounting system for your wheel or sell you a stand with the correct pump for an easy drop in installation. Some of them offer to ship the wheels in easy to assemble kits keeping shipping costs reasonable.

Does anyone know of a business or service that purchases old auto parts from consumers?

I have some old Honda wheels that I want to get rid of. I had bought new wheels because one of my old tires blew out and the wheel got ruined. So, in a nutshell, I have 3 out of 4 wheels left, and since no one wants to buy 3 wheels, I was wondering if there is some sort of business that would buy my old wheels as they were. Does anyone know of such a thing?

if they are aluminum you can take them to a scrap yard or a recyling center or sell them on ebay.if they are tin wheels thier not worth anything
