Attention Jay Jones:

Jay I received the wheels and axle I ordered recently and they are beautiful. As I told you, I am building a peddlers cart for my great grandchildren. I have the box and handles made and installed.

I am waiting for four small brackets that hold the awning roof and it will be complete except for the staining or painting. I used some of the prettiest oak for the box and handles.  The piece I used was about 13” wide and 16’ long and there was not one blemish in the entire piece.

Did you make the wheels in your shop? I am a wood guy and I wish I lived closer to you, I would like to see all of your equipment for making such beautiful wheels.

As soon as I have the roof on the cart, I will send you pictures. Thank you for all of your help and I really appreciate your friendly service.

Hello Jay,

Enclosed are pictures of your wheels on the new Ice Royal Frozen Yogurt concession stand.

None of it would have been possible without the excellent help of you and your team to get the wheels made and help with the problems of shipping.

Dear Jay,

I completed the cannon project. The wheels look perfect. It is a Hotchkiss mountain gun in muzzle loading form. (to avoid problems) I made the castings for the carriage. The carriage is made of 1/8 inch plate with an angle iron frame.

Thanks for your help with the construction.

Best Regards,

Dear Jay and Family,

This is my buckboard that I used for Cowboy Action Shooting. It has a detachable gun rack to hold a rifle and shotgun which is not shown. The wooden bucket is used with a pair of long tongs to pick up empty brass and shotgun shells. I have a scoop designed for cat litter to sift the sand out of it and all brass is deposited in the spittoon for reloading.

The box was made for the military for some reason and was olive drab with "U.S". stenciled on it. I painted it black and mounted cabinet handles on each side. It contains ammunition and accessories such as the tongs, ear protectors, thermos, cup, canteen. I also have a small ice chest with cold water. I have also put an iPOD player in a sack playing cowboy music.

The wagon has been stored in my shed with junk piled on top of it, so I decided to make a better use for it and it will be parked under a tree in the shade where the sprinklers won't hit it and the buckets will make good cactus planters. It will also be a nice photo prop for grandchildren pictures.

Dear Jay and Family,

Wheels arrived this week and they are beautiful. I have attached a photo of my gun cart that I use for cowboy action shooting. These wheels are unreal, they make pulling the cart so easy.

You were a lot of help talking me through the process and helping with the wheels that I needed to make this gun cart work.

Finished my 5/8's scale decorative Chuck Wagon, it is 6 feet long and 30 inches wide. Your wheels helped me make the project. I told you I'd send your some pictures, you will find them enclosed.

Jay,

Just installed the table last weekend with the wheels I purchased from your company!!!

I thought you may want to see your wheels. The table is 10' long and 44" wide and made of Texas mesquite. The new owner loves the table.

Dear Jay,

Wheels have arrived in a bit less than 24 hrs transit time... They are exactly what I hoped for. Very well made and in perfect scale for my purpose.. Frankly, considering what goes into making such a complex structure I don't see how you can sell them for such a reasonable price.

I went straight into the shop and turned the axle so I could make a trial assembly before bed time.. like a kid with a new toy! I will send a picture when things are further along. Again, thanks for all your help.

Dear Jay,

My friends went crazy when they saw my crummy little Jerald Cart and what your wheels did to dress it up. (Jerald Cart had smaller bicycle type wheels)

Thanks so much. I am so proud of my new wheels!

About a month ago I ordered a couple of wagon wheels for a cart I am making and had questions on how to make an axle. Jay Jones responded to me and said to write back leaving my number so he could call me and tell me how to do it.

Well I just got the Wheels and they are AWSOME!! I can't wait to put them on. I look forward to your call, you guys ARE GREAT!!

Dear Jay,

I wanted to e-mail these pictures to you to show the wonderful job your company did for my project.

The stagecoach project was taken from a picture I found on stagecoaches of the west. It is a 1850's Wells Fargo coach. My application is a gun cart for my S.A.S.S. affiliation. The trunk flap in the rear opens and the guns are placed in a lay down gun rack. The seat up front opens and will hold around 600 rounds of ammunition. On a pull scale it reads approximately 10# to move the coach.

I want to thank you again for all your help, and I will pass on your address to my friends who are already wanting to build their own. Share the pictures with anyone who wants to build a project of there own Note: This project took three weeks at one hour each night and four hours on two weekends. Not much time but a lot of fun.

My next project is in the works ,so I'll be ordering more wheels soon.

Just thought that you might want to see how your wagon wheels I purchased back in October 2004 are being used.

I have had a great time with this project. It's been the most fun since learning to fly 25 years ago.

I used the 32" - 16 spoke with Heavy Aluminum hub and rubber tires along with brass bearings to which I added 2 sets of 10 ball steel sealed bearings to the outer races. Then I painted everything bright yellow and mounted them on the Buffalo Concession Cart.

I have been getting dozens of compliments on how Unique, Original and Outstanding the cart looks with your wheels.

I searched for over a year to find a cart to match and I finally ended up building my own design. I recently posted the new web site for cart sales and I have 2 potential buyers already! I am looking forward to doing more business with your company in the future! Your product was just what I needed.

Thanks,

Dear Jay,

Your Wagon Wheel Chandeliers and the Farm Wagon make my barn the best looking barn in North Carolina.

The patience that you and your people had in working with me to help me get the right items for the look that I wanted went well beyond the norm.  There was always time for someone to speake with me and help make the right decision.

It was a pleasure to meet you and your wife and family, especially Bo the Black Lab shop dog.

Again, thank you so much for all you did to assist me and my barn project, I really love my barn now.
