Show V Page Four - The Springville Herald - February 19, 1981 Blacksmithing in Springville TED FOURTH IN A SERIES by Tom Phillips When all four wheels had been given the treatment outlined; here, we moved them down to the end of the shop next to the sump. One of the wheels was laid flat on the floor with the hub in the sump. We then rolled the tires out into the yard between the garage and the shop. The first tire was placed on three or four bricks to keep it off the ground and allow free circulation of air around it. Then the other tires were stacked rim-to-rim on top of the first tire. Next, we would make kindling of all the wood we could find lying around the shop and place it around the tires on both the inside and outside. The wood was not scattered scat-tered haphazardly around the tires. Rather, it was leaned against the tires one piece at a time until they were covered for their entire length. Then we would make a trip into the garage and gather up old inner tubes and some crankcase oil. These items were applied uniformily around the tires. Finally, when everything was ready to go, dad would step up and apply a match. Soon we would have a roaring inferno going, and the innertubes and crankcase oil would be throwing a black column of smoke high into the sky. Soon the fire would be so hot we could't approach closer than 15 or 20 feet, but this was the way it was piannea. Dad would watch the fire closely. When he decided the tires were hot enough to set, Ernie and I would approach the fire from opposite sides with our long-handled tongs at the ready. The fire would still be much too hot to approach, but dad would have the garden hose ready with the nozzle on ' fine spray. He would move in and spinkle the fire just enough for us to runin and grab the tire with the tongs but not enough to cool the fire too much. Once Ernie and I had hold of the tire we would lift it up and head for the shop on a high lope. Speed was essential since the tire would cool rapidly once it was out of the fire. We would place the tire with the rim on the floor and on the other side with the tire in the air above the wheel. This left the tire in contact with the wheel at two points on opposite sides of the wheel. We would then grab our sledge hammers and beat on the inside of the tires at the points of contact. This would force the tire out and allow it to work down on the wheel. As soon as the tire was on, the wheel would burst into flames, but dad The complete v$ cooking system to replace all others.

When the wheel was no longer smoking, Ernie would pull it out of the sump, and I would haul the next wheel over and lay it hub down in the sump. Then we would dash out and bring in the next tire and repeat the process. If dad had made no errors in measuring the tire, or if it hadn't cooled too much, we rarely had trouble getting it on the wheel. But if measuring errors had been made or the tire cooled too much, Ernie and I would have to swing the sledge hammers ham-mers long and hard to get the tire on the wheel. Sometimes we wouldn't make it and would have to repeat the whole process. Schools list reflections winners by Venita Roylance Local PTA groups have the option of sponsoring a "Reflections" program in their schools to offer students a chance to express themselves through art, literature and music. The program is nationwide and winners are chosen on several levels. The local winning entries are sent to a district judging.

A lot of cussing went on around the shop when this happened. Not all blacksmith work was as onerous as setting tires. Actually, much of the work was rather light and was quite enjoyable.
