Making wood sprint rims - how to do it!

[Old Ned]

Found these videos showing the manufacture of Ghisallo wooden sprint rims - absolutely fascinating! No wonder they're relatively expensive considering the amount of handwork involved.

There's 3 sections - watch them all - and enjoy

EDIT - just realised they make all sorts of rims, not just sprints. For MTB's and childrens bikes as well! For tubulars and 'clinchers' (ugh!)
