My great grandfather was a wheelwright,and I found a very detailed video of the modern way it is done now.
This worker is using some modern tools to perform his job,something that required using all hand tools back when my great grandfather was involved in it.
The steel hoops would have been hand forged and hammer welded with blacksmith techniques instead using fabricated fixturing.
Just the same,the process is still very time consuming with tons of needed skills.
