Old tire rims are the corner stone of any self-respecting scrapyard! Have you ever wondered what happens to the tens of millions of old car rims? Most of them get melted and recycled, but lots of them rust quietly in the shadows, doing nothing important, wasting their second lives and serving no practical purpose. And that’s not cool in my book.
As a hard-core prepper with the proper mindset, I cannot stop thinking about the myriad of useful things you can do using old tire rims. Have you ever asked yourself what can be built using tire rims as building blocks? For a couple of the projects, you may have to learn how to weld, but that’s too not bad; learning new skills as you go is always a good thing. Today’s article will focus on a few smart ways to repurpose old tire rims.
To begin, let’s talk about something simple and useful so you won’t get discouraged. How about DIYing a nice wood stove using old tire rims?
This is a fairly easy and pretty straight forward project, perfect for our first episode in the “How to repurpose Tire Rims” article. To build a stove, all you need is a couple of old tire rims and a welder. You can always borrow what you need from a friend if you don’t already have it in your garage.
Oh, and you must know how to weld stuff, but don’t worry; what we’re dealing with here is a simple welding project, so it’s a good project for your first lesson in welding. Consider it a crash-course. Learning new skills is the salt and pepper of a prepper’s life, right?
Anyway, here’s a video with an old-school dude explaining in detail what’s up with welders, old tire rims and old whiskey (after the job is complete, obviously. Don’t drink and weld kids!).
