I have run my water wheels at my home and local businesses for years and have learned what works and what doesn't over time so not only are designed to look good but I know they will last for many years with only 1-2 hours maintence per year (depending on wheel size). I run 3 test wheels and often contact previous customers to check on how their wheels are doing. It's a learning process and I'm always looking to improve my wheels.
About a third of the wheels I make are to replace waterwheels built by craftsman who make water wheels that leak like a seive from day 1, rust (all metal wheels - even expensive powercoated water wheels rust @ the joints), or fall apart due to poor wood selection so why buy from someone who claims to make a good product when you may need to buy a well made low maintence replacement built by me in a few years often @ a lower price.
To the left is a flared spoke wheel being mounted on a deluxe stand in Georgia (call for pricing). See this wheel in action here.
