A year ago there was no such wheelwright.
I think, the situation is still the same.

Hello Joerg  :D No, the last year I searched a crane and this year I search weelwright (charron) but I think I have find it in Berliner Zinnfiguren this weelwright is in the end of Middle Age and I'll cut the hat of one of the figure to have a figure at the middle of the Middle Age.  ;D Amitiés Isabelle

Hello Isabelle
I think that Maier had a set of a blacksmith (Middle ages) which included a man working on a wheel, if correct that would do as your wheelwright.Perhaps an message to  the owners of the Maier moulds might provide an answer

Hello Bob  :D
Thanks very much. Since my message I've found a set with wheelwright (Berliner Zinnfiguren). This set is the end of the Middle Age by the clothing but I'll cut the hat of one of the characters and it will be good  :D AmicalementIsabelle

Isabelle. I thought you might like this store  :o When I was a kid living in Southern Calf  I would spend my weekends and summers where my Dad worked. It was Called Fat Jones Stables in Burbank CA. They did every Western Movie and TV Western. We had a wheelwright from Germany he had been in the German Army in the western desert  :o He was a blacksmith and he taught me how to do it. He could put a iron tire on a wood wheel like bang. I never dream that 40 years later I would be doing the same thing for the National Park Services. I thought you might like this little store.  ;D Willie
