I can Not believe the patience and skill you demonstrate in these videos. I don't think there are very many men or women that could take over and do what you do on a daily basics. Brother when you retire You Will Be Missed!! You Will have people begging you to come back for one more job until you finally meet your maker. I appreciate what you do and thank you for filming it so we can all enjoy your expertise. Thank You Again and please keep filming.
Last week I drove up to Bishop, and the Laws Museum, to look at the, (Your), Borax Wagons. Your work is so impressive, it was nice to get close to view the finished wheels, wagons, and hardware. I have been in construction my entire life, retired now at 72, and have to say you are the most all around "Craftsman" I have ever seen. From wood work to lathe work and onto blacksmithing, it is a privilege to watch you work and videos.
When you hammered the spokes in and they seat perfectly. Man that’s satisfying to watch. Always enjoy your videos and am relieved when I see someone else that does metal and wood in the same shop. I was hoping I wasn’t the only one!
my god young fella your somthing to watch,from maths ,wood working, boiler making, blacksmithing, sewing on a old machine ,editting film, just so good for my blood pressure
It's difficult for me to understand how anyone can be so efficient and precise at the same time. That is mountains of work and it looks so effortless. Yoda level.
When you were explaining a wheel's dish, I didn't quite grasp what you were saying until you rolled the spoked hubs out and it suddenly made a great deal of sense
Enjoyed the video. The filming is great too. It helps us viewers get a different view on what your working on. Thank you to you both for taking the time to produce them. Take care and God.
Dave I come from a long line of hard workers, my Grandparents to my Parents to myself and my two brothers, we were very custom to working 14 to 16 hour days, but I have to tell you I would have hated to have to keep up with you when you were young, I'm 73 now and I taught my two boys all about working hard long hours and now they carry the torch that has been burning for so long in my family and I see you were brought up the same way, it was good talking to you Dave...
This should be televised as it is both educational and entertaining and you, Mr E, are a fine example of what the human race should be more like - a mild mannered person who just gets on with life and, Im gussing, gets maximum enjoyment from it. Oh how I love Fridays!
Can't imagine anything but joy from the client watching these wheels come together with proper craftsmanship. What a shindig they must be planning when their six cannon are finally complete and in full dress regalia. Pity your fine work will only be a part of the show then with the cannon themselves taking center stage, but that's how it works. You make them, we'll watch them.
Mr. Engle, your customer should be very impressed with the quality of your work. I know that I am. Thank you and your family for sharing this most interesting job.
Dear Mr Engels Today I watched you work with that Spanish Canon Wheel, as I usually watching all. Most entertaining, most variety work I ever watched. Sometime I just stop to examine Your simple and ingenious machinery. You are the man whom I called: "MASTER OF ALL TRADE JACK OF NONE ". For me you are a young man (at least 30 years than I am) but still not that young to have all that energy. A pleasure to watch, nearly pro movies (without music!!!), after my primitive simple shorts. Congratulagion, please keep it up and if I'd be just 10-15 years younger I'd ride my large motorbikes to see your shop. Good health and best regards. That Old Bob.
I needed a calculator in order to subtract 4 1/2 from 18 5/16 to get 13 13/16; YOU can do it right off the top of your head! Not only are you a Master at your various crafts, you're also a math wizard
All your videos are excellent. Beautiful craftsmanship, which I appreciate. I am also a craftsman, and love building many things. I really enjoy the step by step procedures you show, and appreciate the amount of time, and energy you put into your projects. Regards. and many thanksCon S. Borg
What I like about this is that these wheels are really just the peak of technology both then and now. The diameter is large enough to pull over obstacles easily. The rotational inertia is low because they are wood. The wood and the joinery can take shock loads. They are strong because they are reinforced by iron. The geometry has been perfected by centuries of experience. The best engineers in the world could not improve them even with CAD and carbon fiber.
EngelsCoachShop It reminds me so much of early airplane building--low horsepower engines, wood construction, sparse use of heavy steel, terrific joinery. So much of your work (like the buggy pole) is precisely the same. Low horsepower, etc. etc. I am really drawn to great engineering and craftsmanship wherever it is found. Please keep up the fascinating work!
fantastic workmanship. it's crazy how much effort was needed to make each wheel. seems like all that work would have provoked easier methods and materials much earlier than it did.
At my grandparents property in CT. rests a mid 1920's Buick converted by my grandfather into a pick-up/work truck. It has been slowly sinking into the ground for at least 55-60 years. It has wood spoke wheels and all 4 are still solid ( they must be white oak ). I am amazed at the longevity of these wooden wheels.
Enjoy your videos, am a cabinet maker this is a totally different experience, could watch your videos for hours. Came across yours by mistake, best mistake I've made
I always appreciate mastered craftsmanship such as this and in a production project, I look for ways to speed the process without sacrificing quality. I certainly do not have your talent but" IF" I did, I think I would have marked, cut and sanded all 192 spokes before beginning the assembly which might have saved a lot of travel time. Your accuracy is amazing and when you have completed all 16 wheels, please share with us the total hours invested. Thanks for not sharing this project in real time. :-)
I believes I witnessed your finished work all fitted up t' th' finished cannon, ready fer shippin', when I took possession o' me second piece. Outstanding!
Great progress. "All you lack is just finishing", that is what we would say after working on a project one day.....lol. Super nice job of editing! ....13
Have an old cart from horse buggy days. The wheels are dished. I was told it was to throw mud away from cart. Did I understand you that it made wheels stronger. Enjoy your work. Pray you will stay healthy as you have a very physical job. I have had 8 back surgeries and cringe to see all the heavy lifting you do. Not to insult you but you are not young. Take care.
Another great video, great craftsmanship as usual, and I loved the background music. To me, the problem with a project like this is there are too few to set up real production, and too many to not be day dreaming about how to set up production. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Making progress indeed...I am amazed at the amount of work that goes into this project. And all of it requires skills that people no longer have. It is a great thing that you keep it alive.
Just another part of making the cannon wheels showing your skills. Don't worry about those accusing you of stealing from your kitchen. Often the tools that moved themselves from kitchens into workshops are ones that you can't find in the shops and are better suited for many jobs. Also you do the work the way you want - helps keep you fit too. Again thanks for another great video. Cheers from NZ
I do have to say that I do find one of my hammers, a pliers, a vise grip and a few screwdrivers in the kitchen "junk drawer" on occasion so it goes both ways. After all we are all in this thing together.
I love how that pile of firewood, actually fits into the hub. How lucky are you. And they seem to be the correct length. Could not have been better if you had actually made them.
There is a blacksmith moving from England to Montana by the name of Alec Steele. I hope that you two get to meet as he is young, full of piss and vinegar, and still learning his trade though he's been doing it since he was 14 years old (now 20). Great smile and hair like a lion. Can't miss him.
I like how you improvised with the table knife! I can't say that my wife would be understanding of me taking a good table knife to the shop to use as a tool. Thanks for the update looking forward to the next, Friday doesn't come soon enough.
I know exercise is important but when you get older (and slower) watch this video and figure out how to move stuff around so that more things are within arm's length so that you're not taking so many steps. It might even cut your time as efficiency results in more productivity. I wish I had half your energy! Sending lots of love💝 from sunny☀Arizona 🌵
@@EngelsCoachShop There will always be someone in the world more skilled than you but they are very unlikely to say so, until the critical person posts a video of him, or her doing better I would put their comment down to "needing a life" I've seen many skilled channels grow over the years, they all have one thing in common, a well made video with a talented presenter. 100 or 1 million, it shouldn't change the way you make videos, nor should it make the slightest difference how you document your many years of wheelwright experience, we all know it's the King of all trades.
Another great video! I couldn't help noticing as you were writing you notes, you hand writing - very nice and neat not at all like mine! I can't read my own writing sometimes. Those hubs must get a little heave after a few... Thanks again I really enjoy your videos!!!
Wear ear protection when that sander is going full blast for that long. I've been using hearing protection for my entire life and I'm just beginning to get gurgling in one ear. We have to have national assets like you going for as long as we can because the videos are so great!
I think that you should put the glue in the wood in the botton part, and on the pipe on the top one because if you glue both wood sides the one on top will be all over the pipe, and by the time the pipe come to the end there wont be any glue in the top part. An old Island carpenter. God bless.

Well said Bill.
Very well said right there. Jim
This shows my ignorance, but it caught me off guard that there is so much science and physics involved in the wheel construction. Wonderful series.
so amazing that nobody comes inside your shop finding you going around in circles. it has to take a wile to power down. amazing work Mr. Engels
@@EngelsCoachShop oh i hope you did not take that as a ugly remark if so i am sorry.

Hi, I have some, experience with tools, but your craftsmanship is all a creation it is an ART, thank for all the videos I enjoy everyone thanks.

Like the lesson on dishing and the difference from cannon wheel to wagon wheel, very interesting thought process

Wow, I'm nearly speechless at your craftsmanship and patience. If I were 50 years younger and single, I'd love to apprentice with someone like you.

Fantastic craftmanship👍👍
Looks like you got the hang of it there at the last.
As usual great content. Your musical selections are just icing on the cake! Thanks for letting us watch.
Piece of cake. I could do that in my sleep, but only in my dreams do I have skills like that. Thank you again Mr Engel.

It's like watching Bill Murray in "Groundhog Day"
Remember that Bill didn't waste the time he was given, to achieve what most could never dream of!
LOL! I concur. I've had endless days similar to that in past jobs.
A good putty knife is such an under appreciated tool. Thanks for sharing, Dave. I really like the hydraulic press table setup.
The entire press is awesome.
Good morning! Coffee with Engels again. Thanks for the show!
You are rallye a great craftsman,
I love good hard work......I could sit and watch it for hours! So satisfying.
I really liked the 'calculation' shots!
as always nice to to see you at work take care friend
Nice explanation on the dish of the wheel. Good progress being made.
Looks like you can handle the production work as well as the custom. Nice.
Good work - Awsome project
Dave, again a outstanding peace of craftmanship. Please continue!. Greatings from the Netherlands, Bram
Oh! Postet on the austrian national day!
Amazing tenacity to accomplish this much. Nice to watch your talent and expertise in action.
Love the music on this one for sure and for certain :) It's got a lil' of everything :)
So very enjoyable to watch a true craftsman! Absolutely beautiful!
All that work ... WHEW! You are the Master!
Wow! Now thats a chunk of work right there. I hope your compensation adequately rewards.
Mr. Dave, é muita DEDICAÇÃO E TRABALHO para um só HOMEM, PARABÉNS.
I like the way you work and the way you make the video .I realy enjoy it.
So peaceful to watch. Master Craftsman. Just like my father.
Wear ear protection when that sander is going full blast for that long. I've been using hearing protection for my entire life and I'm just beginning to get gurgling in one ear. We have to have national assets like you going for as long as we can because the videos are so great!
Love this video series! A history course without paying tuition.
incredible skills sir ..
Love to watch you work. Love the shop built by and for yourself.
Labor intensive and of love of the work cant wait to see them done.
Hey! Wonderful work that you do. You are a professional. Greetings from Niek from the Netherlands!
Sorry only just realised I hadn't subscribed. Have been watching you for ages.
I love watching a master at work. You are amazing and extremely talented.
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO ..THANKS
GOD BLESS
Fantastic stuff Mr. Engels. Soon there will be a complete wheel right? Right! So relaxing sir.
That glue spreads just like "butta". 😂 Another nice video Sir. 😉
You are amazing!
Enjoyed your video and gave it a thumbs up
Impressive!
A Sawyer Nu-Typ vise! Have that one myself. Don't see those very often-
You sure know your stuff, impressive.
I think that you should put the glue in the wood in the botton part, and on the pipe on the top one because if you glue both wood sides the one on top will be all over the pipe, and by the time the pipe come to the end there wont be any glue in the top part. An old Island carpenter. God bless.
