Roue Cyr: Making a wheel – skinning
I’m doing a series of videos on how I made my second Roue Cyr (Cyr Wheel — aka: Simple Wheel).
Here’s the last in the series…which is skinning.
Updated notes: Use pipe clamps to secure the air attachment on! Heat it in the oven for ~3 minutes. Spray water on it from a bottle if it has trouble going over. If this method doesn’t work, the alternative is to skin the wheel while it is hot bath water, and then let it dry out for a few days before assembling.

Hi I would like to say thank you so much for all the info you have provided on cyr wheel construction. I’m working with a welding student right now to make my own and your site is just so helpful. I’ll cycle through all your videos later today after work but yeah just wanted to say thank you.
