Water wheels built to match your location and needs. Some of my water wheels are purely for beauty as they slowly rotate while others are designed to make power so take a look, get ideas, and then contact me so we can design the perfect water wheel for your location.      All of my water wheels can be shipped and most can mount to your stand in less than 15 minutes.

After doing this for years I've found that pictures work better than words on the website so I'll let the pictures show you the quality of my water wheels rather than list all the details; take a look; then contact me and we'll discuss your location to find the best design for your location.      Spencer Boyd

Check out my budget minded basic waterwheels.

To the left are two Flared Spoke style water wheels with black bolt construction; the smaller water wheel is mounted on a basic stand. 

I build water wheels is 4 different styles but every waterwheel is a little different.      I don't use patterns but instead build each water wheel to match the customer's site.     

The larger two water wheels to the right are Rustic style water wheels.       Built from rough cut naturally decay resistant cedar wood with adjustable steel hubs, two piece elbow buckets (historically accurate), and black bolt construction these wheels have that massive heavy look of a true mill wheel used for grinding corn and are capable of making power or just for mounting on that old cabin.       Different finishes available.  

The larger wheel shipped to California, the middle wheel went to Montana.

To the left are some of my Flared Spoke style water wheels.        Flared Spoke style waterwheels have a much more polished look with beautiful red and inland cedar and flared spokes.       The spokes and paddles are routered like a fine table and the finish reflects the light.        These water wheel look great with some colored lighting in your water feature catching the moving wood and water drops in the evening.

The larger water wheel is 6 feet tall with 12 spokes per side for a fuller look and shipped to Nevada.        The smaller water wheel has all wood hubs and is only 30 inches tall,,, darn if I can remember where it shipped to.

   

This is an 8' Rustic style water wheel using a single side mount.        The customer is proudly feeding his water wheel in GA.       He later added a wood flume to feed his water wheel.        Notice how on larger water wheels I add more spokes to give the water wheel a fuller look.

Water wheels can be mounted to a building, in the middle of a pond, or on the edge of your pond like this water wheel in Florida.

and yes,      I can make your water wheel wider like this water wheel I shipped to Utah a few years ago.       The customer covers it with lights every Christmas.         I don't guarantee that my water wheels remain watertight over the years but I put a lot of work (and some fancy wood joinery) to try to keep the outside wood dry so your wheel stays looking great for years and doesn't short out your Christmas lights should you try to mount some.

This 8 foot Flared Spoke style water wheel is being pushed by the water flowing under it in the stream.         It is a popular place for weddings and has been featured in many newspapers over the years.         The customer had orginally ordered a smaller water wheel but after seeing it decided he wanted a larger wheel to make a statement for this Georgia retreat. 

 

 

This little 2' water wheel mounted in a water box went to Nevada where the customer sits with it and his cup of coffee in the mornings watching the sunrise.     Water flows over the water wheel to turn it and also flows below the water wheel to make a little waterfall.

Yes,    I make larger power producing water wheels.        With a machined power axle and inset (so their hidden) reinforcing steel plates this 12 foot wheel is being mounted at an old electrical generation plant in New Jersey.       The wheel above was finished using Eco-Wood treatment which gives the wood an aged look.

 

Larger water wheels can also be used for excercising your kids like a hampster.
