Wheelwright Fitting Iron Tire on Wagon Wheel
by Leah Ward
A wheelwright stands in a damp Ningbo workshop, focused on heating a heavy iron tire for a wooden wagon wheel. The air hangs thick and humid from recent rain, condensing on the rough-hewn timber and the worker's dark woolen coat. Midday light falls through high, rain-streaked windows, illuminating dust motes suspended in the moisture. The iron glows faintly orange as it is lifted with tongs, steam rising where the metal meets the damp wood. Water drips from the eaves outside, marking the winter season. The worker's hands grip the hot metal, steam swirling around the joint where the iron meets the wooden felloes. at the edge is the precise gap between the glowing ring and the wheel rim.
