Make wheels, of course! Wheelwrights start with a hub made on a lathe from properly aged wood such as elm. A tapered reamer opens the center to get a metal bearing. A wheelwright uses a chisel to create rectangular spoke holes around the circumference of the wheel. Carved from woods like ash, the spokes bend to meet a rim of wooden arches that have holes drilled in them. These are called "fellies." And they join to form a perfect circle. A blacksmith would then supply a big hoop of iron, like a metal hula hoop, precisely the size of the fellies. The wheelwright heats the iron hoop, which expands just enough to be hammered on with a heavy hammer. He then wets the wheel with water, which makes the hoop shrink to the size of the felly, fitting it on.
John Wheelwright was the main leader of the New Hampshire Colony. He later founded a compact known as the "Exeter Compact". It is sort of like the Mayflower Compact but more precised This "Exeter Compact" was a huge success Hope this helps.
