How To Make New Weld Repairs Look Old | Engels Coach Shop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- This 1890 sheep wagon is being rebuild to look old. This simple step makes irons that need welding repairs still blend in with all the original old irons. They can't be visibly new looking, so this is how I make them look old. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles is always challenging to meet the customer's desires. Thanks for coming along!

I wasn';t too excited about 'preserving' the wood, to me that was pretty well rotted away. (Though I'm content with making the new wood look old.).But, seeing you repair the old twisted metal, and preserving them (with the minimum repairs required for functionality) seems like a good choice. Looking forward to seeing this 'old' sheep wagon when it's done. Friday eves are the best time on the internet! Happy Holidays to all!
It sure makes it look more authentic looking !! Dave, you are Master craftsman !!
It'll be something to watch alright. Always entertaining!
Most anyone can make something old look new, but you have a definite talent in making the new look old. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.
When I do antique repairs and restorations, it is very challenging to get repairs to disappear, but you can blend them very closely so you eye is not drawn to them. Again, Dave, you’re the master. Great job! - Phil
Excellent camera work and editing! Thanks, Dave and Diane. Wish you the best!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Engle family and all of their fans
Great work on keeping and simulating the patina on the wood and metal work! This is going to make an excellent museum display.
More than just a pleasure watching these vids and understanding very old and sick man to day but never a boring split second in these vids, ever Cheers to every one who watches.
That's a very slick trick for aging the steel that you had to repair or otherwise heat up. That blends beautifully. A very Merry Christmas and New Year to you and your family.
Dave your eye for straightness is unparalled!
I am amazed by your knowledge of wood working and metal work. The ability you have to make old new and vice versa is a testament of the knowledge garnered along the way. Thanks for the great videos and all the best to you and Diane now and in the New Year.
Good instruction for someone who may be interested in preserving the look of old irons. Thanks Dave and Diane For all you do for this trade/craft
Need to take a chunk of old chain and antique those boards with a few dings, gouges and whatever
People like you can not leave this world.. So much knowledge will leave with it.. Stay heathy young fellow.
Everything you do is remarkable; I really enjoy the blacksmithing.
This makes better sense to me than trying to save wood that is very nearly too far gone.
Dave, I can't help noticing that the vest is looking FANTASTIC!....It's getting broken in real nice !.......looking good!
I hope the sheep appreciate all the hard work you're putting into this wagon
Fascinating to watch as usual. Also just wanted to mention that the camera work is spot on, you always get to see exactly what you need to see, whoever is operating the camera has a good feel for the work!
I enjoy watching an artist at work. Merry Christmas to all!
Watching rust dry 🙂 Looks good to me!!
Another skillful video. I love the fact that almost entire engineering world stresses about stopping steel rusting and corroding but you are bucking the trend, excellent.
I so much enjoy watching you display your wood and metal skills whether it is making the old look new or the new look old or building completely from scratch. You are a master.
Люблю смотреть ккак вы выстонавливайте ремонтируйте разные поделки дай вам здоровья и вашей семье нижний Новгород
Nice job. I inspected your welds from many kilometers away. They are 👍. Merry Christmas and regards from a 🇳🇱 in 🇧🇪.
That wagon bed looks so nice i wouldnt wanna scratch it up
I think it looks fantastic
Awesome aging process. Truly a craftsman
I remember watching my Grandpa do some of this ... weld up parts, old tools, bolts, nuts, screws, chains & links, etc. Make 'em rust, then he'd boil them for quite a while, dump them on the table and I helped rub as much rust off as we could with a brillo pad before dropping them in a pan of kerosine. They would come out black and didn't want to rust anymore. Later I've found that it's a form of bluing that used to be done as a quick preservative of steel.
In your next life Dave, you should apply for Curator at the Smithsonian. Great Press. Quick and precise. Wishin Diane, Daughter and You good Health and Happiness during the Holiday Season and beyond. Merry Christmas.
It would be nice if you could do a video about the history of your shop! And do you have an apprentice? Really appreciate what you do it is a pleasure to see a craftsman at work. Keep up the great content.
Pretty slick time lapse on that rusty iron work,not everyone can do recreation of rusty iron work,appreciate you and yours efforts🤗😎🤗😎
Thumbs up great video, the preservation is coming right along
Best wishes from Holland!
Well once again I come away learning something new about the old and the new! And what's that old saying "That you're never too old to learn" that's true! I'm 80 and I just learned something new. and plan on using it too! (its called Positive thinking! my friend!) ECF
Merry Christmas and a happy New year.
Thank you for your work.
Greetings from Germany
Yours Frank Galetzka
I have watched a number of your videos now and I find them to be most interesting, educational, as well as very captivating! You are extremely good at what you do and have much to offer in passing your knowledge on to another generation of folks who do or would like to do what you are doing. I've learned a number of things by watching you. Very much look forward to each new video! Watching you make the repairs and replacing pieces of the project is the next best thing to actually bring there with you, in my opinion.
"Make the new look old again" Nice work
Happy Holidays Dave. Staysafe,Staywell. Thank you for the wonderful videos. Kenn
Best of the season to you and your family 🎄
Great oxidation technique
Again: 3 hours of having uploaded this video and already at least 3.7k likes. Thank you for sharing this Dave. Greetings from Chile!
I really like the way that wagon bed turned out. I will definitely be using that method of aging if the need should arise in a project. The creative rusting reminded me of something. I have seen a few antique engines with a rust finish. Instead of removing the rust and re painting, the owner just used light oil, and probably some very fine steel wool, and buffed the rust to a smooth to the touch sheen. The effect is of a slightly mottled, rich maroon color that I find to be beautiful. I much prefer that sort of look to a freshly painted and pin striped 100 year old engine.
Your shop is amazing. I hope I can get my shop at home half as cool as yours.
incredible set of skills!!! All perishable unless you have an apprentice!!
As always, great work Dave. Happy holidays to you and Diane and your family.
Vinegar and metal filings.
Mmm
Good work🍻👨🏻🏭🇨🇦
Invisible mending , can I see some please.? Excellent repair Dave .
Thanks for letting us follow along, Dave. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Science meets knowledge, skills and abilities to make old rough iron new again but then look old again. Great job Dave, enjoy watching you work your magic.
Really enjoy all of your videos. Lewis Downing & Stephen Abbot, Founders of the Concord Coach would be proud of your work. I live in the city, Concord New Hampshire. where they started their business, making stage coaches
Cool !!
Nice!
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanuka and Happy Holidays! To All
May everyone be blessed with the very best New Year! Peace!
you do amaizing work sir i enjoy your show and i think the daughter would hope they would bring some of that stuff back👍🦘terry
Amazing. Stay safe and we'll see you next time.
That floor looks great!
Just found your channel when you started this sheep manure cart. You have an amazing shop and even more amazing skills. I’ll be following this rebuild of this old wagon. Thanks for sharing.
The manure spreader and sheep cart are two different projects. They are a bit hard to tell apart now though. As both are in rough shape.
Make sure you see the Borax wagon series! It's all on one playlist. I think Dave might have referred to it as his signature project. Each one is a masterpiece
Really enjoy watching how you can make a pile of rotted wood and rusty old Iron look like it's still a usable relic of yester-year.
Merry Christmas and all the best to you and family as we all slide into the new year. As always Looking forward to your next video.
Repairing the old parts with new metal and returning it to the old finish. Remarkable work Dave. Stay safe.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2024 from ITALY, ciao
Dave, Just the best videos and workmanship. Best from Canada.
Very interesting, nice to see the effort you are making to keep everything as original as possible, I am following this project with much interest, thanks for the tag along video, enjoyed it.
Merry Christmas Dave
Thank you for all your videos this year. You entertain with memories of the past.
Your attention to detail is amazing. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I think the heat results in a combination of ferrous ferric oxide rust with the ferrous component being better bound to the metal and more stable.
Heat gives metal an affinity to take on oxygen. It's why you have to shield when you're welding. Otherwise before you're done you'll just have a pile of rust.
now i have seen it all and learned somthing.thank you
Merry Christmas Dave and Diane, hope you have a great holiday from Australia down under.
This wagon is looking great.
Dave, may the Christmas season and the new year bring you and your wife as much pleasure as we get from watching your labors. Cheers,
Thanks for another warming and insightfull video Dave!
Merry Christmas to you, Diane and family!
🎄Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ☃
I always enjoy watching you do your magic
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone.
Brilliant tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you both. Slainte.
A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Your work and videos are a great gift!
Merry Christmas to you Dave and Ms Diane and your entire circle of family and friends......
Merry Christmas and Happy New year! Thanks for another year of entertaining and educational videos, not all of it applies to everything I do, but Im constantly noticing little tricks to incorporate in my work and projects. The weld aging from this video is likely to end up making an appearance in a car restoration Im doing.
Marvellous demonstration , a real eye opener. Merry Christmas to you , Diane and the geranium . 🎄🎁🌟🔔🥳🥃
Your a artist with wood thanks
Interesting, as always. Merry Christmas to you and Diane!
All the best -- Steve from Circle
Great tip to pass along for the patinas you may need. Some of that stock is most likely wrought iron. It stands the weather quite well. Thanks for sharing..
Wishing you and Diane a rusty crusty Merry Christmas. Maybe it even be a white Xmas. 👍👍👍
Thanks for a wonderful year 🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✅✅✅✅✅⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎅🏻🎄 Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to all
Another fantastic job. Your work is the best.
Your rusting method seems similar to how they used to get the patina on Brown Bess muskets. And Merry Christmas!
They used aqua fortis (dilute nitric acid) and iron filings instead of vinegar and iron filings to brown the barrels. I used to make custom muzzle loading rifles professionally. I've browned my share of rifle barrels.
Such a pleasure to watch a master of his craft. Thank you.
What would've been the preferred method back in 1930's? Bronze brazing? Holes, pins and braze? riveted metal splinters? riveted pipe sleeve? brazed and riveted pipe sleeve/splinters? Forge/hammer welding sleeves/splinters? Showcasing pre-welder fixing methods would've also been a neat addition to this project.
Thank you for sharing.🙂🙂
Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄
You are such an artist with these parts and pieces. Certainly a privilege to get to watch you demonstrate the "simplistic" process. A master! Thank you for the videos, Merry Christmas to your and yours.
Years ago, in Popular Woodworking or Fine Woodworking, one of the user builds they posted worked at a grain elevator and he placed some wood on the chute that grain flowed on to wear and weather them. Then built the project. Boy it looked good. The grain flowing and abrading the wood produced a most pleasing look. If you could have done that on the floor of the sheep wagon then did the vinegar application - well, it would have been great! :^D
Yeah thanks for that...
I do something similar on my wood projects. A wire wheel on an angle grinder will really pull out the softer grain on some wood. Nowhere near to the level of abrasion you get from grain in an elevator, but definitely enough to "age" some wood. And for hammer handles here in the smithy, the technique makes the most comfortable handles!
Using a wire wheel or wire brush, going with the grain works too, it will remove a little of the soft grain and leave the hard grain stand proud
You can do the same thing with a little sand, spread it out on the floor boards then do a shuffle walk back and forth to "distress" the wood. Oh and smack some chain on it. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
Merry Christmas
That project is moving along nicely already Dave. Quick question. Would those irons that are now rusty, and which you are helping to get the same look, not have been painted originally?
The look of something is subjective. If it were my wagon, I'd remove the rust and apply rustoleum paint in hopes of preventing deterioration. Steel and iron rust through and break. I would paint the wood too. But it isn't my wagon. I don't have any idea why a wagon would not have been painted. Can you think of one?
Absolute Masterclass.....thank you
Curious what threads are these cut to ? Whitworth or something else ?
Here in europe rural smithies often used "thread plates" Flat chunks of plate stock with a variety of through holes (with minimal taper lead in) that artisan makers could create bolts from round stock. Same in US anyone ? I am trying to rescue these from junk yards before someone melts them.
@@KT111 Thank you for the trouble you took to reply. The speed at which crafts are lost is disappointing. The Engels family are doing a superb job of showing what can be done with good hands and a keen eye. I know the US had a very early start making precision thread cutting tools but for a back country workshop thread plates provided a more affordable way of doing the job. Of course someone must have had a set of some sort of masters to create the plate. Interesting that these might be Imperial. Whitworth is still very much around in Europe though fading away as the metric coarse threads replace it.
@@KT111 Sorry. I do not.
Certainly unlikely to the point of impossible in the uk - Home of Whitworth. Subject to correction by someone who has accessed some better information .... Metrication came late to the UK. ISO Recommended as Standard in 1965. Implementation took a long time and is still not fully adopted.
I'd take a punt and say that Metric spanners became commonplace with bulk imports of Japanese cars and motorcycles. Say from late 1960s for bikes and early 70s for cars. Metric tools would have been around a lot longer tho in specialist workshops to deal with imports and war prizes. Some of the first motor vehicles in uk came from Spain France and Germany. Metric was no stranger. Id guess and say no one was too far from Metric tooling if it was needed.
The first big change came with war time production and a real need for standardisation. Our BSF for instance (a 55° fine Whitworth thread was put aside for UNF - An American 60° fine) Pretty seamless changeover at the time from what I was told by fitters working on airframe and road transport at that time. The tools were provided and the workers just got on with it. No bodging of spanners allowed.
There's a lot of history on the website called boltscience.com and you can delight in the salad bowl of screw types Britain manages to service ....brass gas pipe and model threads, curious cycle threads and still our faithful coarse and fine Whitworth types. Quiz item ... Whitworth it was invented the method of producing a primary reference surface that was true flat (3 plate method)
Sad to say the once vibrant uk engineering culture is nearly gone due to political sabotage and a government only too happy to allow overseas take overs.
@@KT111 Hi again. I checked E-bay for thread plates. Some nice ones pictured there for sale. Thought you might be interested.
Are these irons made out of steel or wrought iron? Seeing how well they have been standing against corrosion makes me wonder.
Still being the most interesting and immersive UA-cam channel, working tirelessly describing and preserving fine handicraft and workmanship, I sincerely wish you both Happy holidays Dave and Diane🎄
Seasons Greetings from 🇳🇴
The mix you make with vinegar and iron ends up to be iron acetate , on the wood it reacts with the tannins and produces the gray color you want the acetate has a relatively low PH and etches the iron and oxygen in the air quickly rusts it in the micro cavity
produced in the etching so it doesn’t rub off . I use this mix for aging / ebonizing wood too, I make mine with % 45 agricultural vinegar and course steel wool , wash the oil off the steel wool with a degreaser and make sure the vessel is vented and away from sparks or flames as the gas produced is hydrogen.
Well done, as always.
Merry Christmas, Dave.
Love the videos, thats some set of skills you have. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Dave and Dianne.
Dave, I have been following along for 5 or 6 years now. I enjoy your videos enormously, the content is fascinating and the production/editing is masterful. Well done! Most of all I enjoy forensic analysis of how these old vehicles were built and in the end fell apart. You sometimes discuss the new timber you use, and a I remember few years back you compared the strength of various species. I would be curious to know more about the original timber, from which the wagons were made, was it good or bad, local or special, was it built to last, and what do you learn from this.
Hi Dave, great work as usual. How did they cut threads all those years ago? Andrew 🏴
See my post about thread plates on here somewhere (From Ireland 🇮🇪).
