New Forged Brake Irons Have to Look 100 Years Old | Engels Coach Shop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2024
- Forge welding, punching, machining and power hammers all get involved in reproducing these brakes that were missing from this 130 year old shepherd's wagon. One original set of irons tells the story of what style these new ones have to be. Thanks for coming along!

No need to apologize, stuff happens. I'm just glad you're willing to share these video's with us. It's always a true pleasure to watch a master craftsman work.
The saying usually goes, “Jack of all trades, master of none.” In Dave’s case it’s “Jack of all trades, master of all.” The man’s knowledge and abilities are amazing.
The original saying is Jack of all trades master of one......
The master of "none" was mockery of crap skill level work.
.
Master of one skill set.... make your living......
Jack of all, > passable skill for diy... and
knowledgeable enough to not be scammed / ripped off by other tradesmen .
@@stephenrobb8759 Thank you for your correction. I had ever heard it as master of “one”. But I think I made my point.
That was awfully nice of you to explain the thumbprint on the camera lens. Because of the explanation, the blurry spot wasn't a problem. Thanks! You're so kind.
Dave is more than a handyman. He can add machinist, wheelwright, woodwright, welder, blacksmith, archeologist, farmer to his job resume, not to forget videographer and editor.
I do believe his wife does an amazing job editing, could be wrong though.
Wainwright, wagonwright, cartwright…
Rancher…..we are in Montana😁
@@robertadams2857 Sorry, I am from the Great White North. Where I am, we call them farmers, ranchers are what they call them in Western Canada.
@@darrellbedford4857 ok… cool👍
"Looked 20 minutes old when I left last night, looks 120 years old when I got here this morning".
A testament to Dave's skill/craftsmanship/artistry!
Welding the two pieces of strip, rounding, then squaring, drilling and bending to make the complex shape at the end of the arm....wow...just wow.😯
I always enjoy watching your blacksmithing your parts...ALWAYS.
One of the most amazing skillsets I've ever seen in a single person.
I love the analogy with the railroad tracks! True. When wife asks what you are thinking about, you say nothing, and they cannot believe you for the life of them. Thanks for the video. I love to watch blacksmithing.
My wife can crochet while watching TV, reading a book and talking on the phone. I can't walk and chew gum. She also doesn't understand that when I have several projects going at the same time why I don't finish one before going to the next. She has no concept of having to do projects in stages because of needing to finish one step of a project before you can figure out what you need for the next step. If I have a few different things that I can make progress on while waiting for materials then I can feel like I'm not wasting time.
That thumbprint made a beautiful aura around the glowing workpiece so a wonderful Bob Ross "happy accident"!
I love the way he lines up all square nuts with the floor!
A Big Thumbs up from us to you both Diane and Dave 😂
Loved to see a blacksmith work ever since 5 years old. Turns out my great-grandfather was a blacksmith.
Your thumbprint caused a nice halo around the white-hot iron as you were forging. Very artistic. Many could be convinced it was intentional.
Always enjoy the forge work Dave. Makes one realise how hard smiths had to work to create components in the past. The power hammer & grinder are obviously very useful tools in your toolbox. Stay safe & well.
Dave you have tools that 95% of us wish we had. It is sooooooo therapeutic to sit down and watch an artist at work. Well done.
Forge Welding - What an AMAZING process!
Soon to be a lost art
Thx for sharing all your beautiful skills with the world, Dave!
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It's not that you can't do something, it is more a matter time spent. It often comes down to cost efficiency. Great job as usual.
especially like to watch this fella doin metalwork
I didn't know you had a milling machine and a power hammer. Cool, you never cease to amaze me.
I so look forward to Friday night to see what you have been building all week. The forge work is just incredible you just know what you want to make. Watching you has gotten me back into my little shop thanks for watching
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
I really look forward to every new video,thanks very much.
Lovely to see some forge welding, always a great start to my weekend, thanks Dave
Using the borax as a flux adds to weld strength forging mild steel is a challenge to high a temperature and you will have a poor weld not a full shower of sparkles but a smaller shower just as Dave shows in his video.
Nicely done. I always love watching your Blacksmithing, a mixture of old school (hand cranked forge and punches) and new (.your power hammer and grinder)
I have watched many a video with forge welding, punching, machining and power hammers, but none where truly interesting pieces were made; not only that, these pieces here are functional. thank you, Sir.
Me, being a large scale model railroader, the train tracks picture is absolutely hilarious.
That happens to me sometimes too: I think the world is so foggy.
Until at some point I come up with the idea of cleaning my glasses.
You have succeeded Dave, and we are proud of you.
Of all the things you do I enjoy your blacksmithing the most.
Love the sights and the sounds.
Thanks for all
Thanks Mr. and Ms Engel !!
I have a hard time keeping up with my wife and daughter's conversations so I generally tune them out until I hear my name called 2-3 times. Meandering is the word that comes to mind. I do understand that photo too well. 😂
Love all you do to restore historic wagons. What a great job you have done. Makes you appreciate the craftsmanship.
Wow, first time in an age we see some powerhammer action 😂
Have a great day Dave
A tour de force of fun stuff! Nice power hammer.
Wow! That looks original, well crafted , I am impressed with the process and the knowledge it takes to pull it off!
Your videos are heaven sent,thank you.
There was a book called 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus' about the difference in the way the genders reason. But Dave's photo sums it up perfectly.
I had an "Aha!" moment when you started putting the bolt holes in the brake rack: That's how carriage bolts are supposed to work!
They sort of work in wood when you pound them in, but it always kind of felt to me like it wasn't a great design. Aside from literally being a square peg in a round hole, when the wood gets old and the metal gets rusty there's no way to undo them. And I didn't even think about using them in metal, because drilling square holes is hard work. But, in a blacksmith shop, where the easiest way to make a hole is by punching it, and punching a square hole is as easy as a round one -- there, a carriage bolt is exactly what you want. It all makes sense.
Thanks Dave
Dave how you keep your thumb so clean is amazing in itself 😂
Dang, 3 minutes since release of the video and I’m still 72nd person to hit Like…..perhaps 2nd person in UK though
Didn’t know it was a race.
1 h since release, and i was # 2k… Maybe 2nd in tiny Norway…? 😅
Watching the irons being worked was fascinating.
One of the first things to do this Saturday morning is to see this UA-cam video. Thanks Dave.
Im always so impressed with your work. You're very talented. Thanks for sharing.
I am extremely envious of your shop. As a retired modern fabricator, I've had my hand in a lot of the technologies you use. I've been extremely fortunate that my former employer allowed me to use their shop as long as it was personal and not for profit. Retirement has forced me to go back to the basics when doing metal fab work.
Two craftsman skills that have always amazed me, iron work and glassblowing. The ability to make such minute steps to assemble into a finished piece that bears little resemblance to the starting pieces. Thank you for sharing your skills.
You shaping that steel that’s art brother. All the different jobs probably keeps the job interesting. Thanks Dave
Really enjoy your forging videos but those ones where you put flat bends in flat stock never cease to amaze me.
Yet another enlightening segment. Thanks.😊
I love watching you forge and create. Very relaxing. Thank you!
Video and narration was excellent as usual, including thumb print. Thanks.
Amazing, your dedication and craftsmanship are second to none. I wish there where more people like you …Thanks
Impressive blacksmith skills to say the least!!😊😊😊
Thanks. Always an education in philosophy and practical execution.
Happy Friday Dave!!
excellent good sir
Your talents never cease to amaze me. What a pleasure to watch you create.
All that new iron now looks just like the old iron. Great job Sir and thank you for sharing with us.
Under a spreading chestnut-tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, a mighty man is he…
Fantastic work from both of you as always.
I love the vise grips to hold those two forge welded pieces together. Very slick.
I have watched most of your videos. You sir remind me of my naibor that builds roll top desk. Fine of craftsman ever born.
Nice forge work brother Engels
A tremendous amount of experience and knowledge went into making that assembly.
Thank you
Greetings Dave from Phoenix. Another Chapter, Thanks for sharing. Recently volunteered on project to install a steel fence and a large enclosure for California Condors - we needed the finish on the steel needed to match the existing. A formula to instantly create rust we used was 2 cups hydrogen proxied w/ 2 tablespoons vinegar and bit of table salt. To speed the rusting process, we replaced the standard 5% home use vinegar with a 30% industrial grade vinegar from Harries. You can literally see the steel rust as the liquid dries. Down here you can find it at the big box stores in the cleaning supplies area. Great at cleaning and very good at killing most weeds.
Its really wonderful 👍😊 have a great day ❤️🙏
*- Nice metal forging fabrication video, Dave.*
Dave you would have been a famous wagon maker back in the 1860’s your wagon’ s would have been very popular and expensive with your care
Boy I sure enjoyed this one, I like working metal of any kind when I get a chance, thank you for the update, appreciate your insights.
Well, there he goes again, making the near impossible look easy.😂 Thanks Dave.
Thank you for the explanation. I was about to call my Ophthalmologist and schedule my cataract surgery
😊
I've had a few mentors in my life....now I've got one more to add to my resume thank you Dave for being responsible for continuing my apprenticeship🤗😎🤗😎
Well thats a whole new meaning of putting the mammer down.
Great episode
Fascinating absolutely fascinating 👏
Thanks
Absolutely fascinating. Thank you Dave you are the master
You have all of the cool men's toys. I really enjoy watching you put them to work. Thanks again for sharing.
like to watch that forge work !
Once again thanks for the video .
I have said this before but I love the way you just mould that steel almost like its putty. I can see that ratchet strap for the brake take a bite outa your thigh as you squeeze through that door!
Great work, looks like you got the chance to use every machine in your shop for this one!
It's a lot of fun to see you work. 🙂👍
I love when your metal work it super awesome.
I like the humidity story better. We have had high heat and humidity all week!!
Little bit of blur is irrelevant when you see whats going on.
That was a really interesting episode, forge welding, blacksmithing plus all the fabrication on camera.
Interesting bits I guess most people either missed or didn't even think of (checking 'square' with side of anvil for example).
Shaping then re-shaping the bits was incredible, making lip on brake lever, that was first time I've ever seen anything like it (I've seen parts I wondered how they could be made, much better idea now)
You have accumulated a LOT of tools and machines but the impressive thing is knowing how to use them.
Thank you for everything.
I worked in a shop that had an engine overhaul shop. The guy that ran the engine shop had worked there years without any corrosion problems. They hired a new guy. The next day after he had handled a newly polished crankshaft, it has his fingerprints all over it in rust. Apparently some people just have more acid in their hands!
Nice power hammer.
That smudge on the lens was like a little "scratch on your favorite "Album" it sounds just as good with or without a scratch.
It is very interesting to watch you recreate things similar to how they were, originally. It makes me wonder who figured out forge welding and how they learned that a flux was needed and what that flux needed to be. Maybe there is a history book on this.
Forge welding goes back thousands of years. Our knowledge of the past that long ago today is limited. Back then if you knew how to do something like that you didn't tell others either. But there is scholarly work done today on the subject. We can infer certain things by examining artifacts that are found. Others are as curious as you are.
The first flux they used was just silica sand because that was what they had handy. It still works today. I use it as a welding flux all the time.
That'll work Dave. Glad you figured out the best way to set it up like it was originally. Looks great. Thanks for sharing , stay safe and keep up the fun around there. Fred.
Amazing
Good. Show
I always try and keep count of how many “trades” you employ when you perform a task.
Thanks for sharing
I just thought I'd let you know that my viewing interests are extremely varied and I very much enjoy your channel building wagons and stuff like that but I just finished watching the tour of the Starship facility in Texas and I find it just as thrilling to watch
