I get so excited when I get off work and I know that Dave's video is up :) I rush through the bank just so I can get home. Today I put ham & beans in the crockpot first thing this morning so it woul dbe ready when I got home. And what a great combination! Ham & beans, cornbread, a cold beer, and Dave's video. Yep, life is good
Watching you work on these wagons really makes me miss the wagon-builders at Dollywood. They built them just like you, they built them right! They are sorely missed whenever I go(which is very rare nowadays) and it's not the same as it should be! Great work as always!
my dad would have been 98 years old back on Feb 26th, he was a tool and die maker his whole life. So much of what you do and how you do it reminds me so much of my dad, fun to watch you work.
It's a good thing you have a generous heart and able to take compliments as payment for all the teaching skills we are gathering from you. I already know the time and effort you expend on these projects is worth many times the price your charging. The skill, research and knowledge to bring it altogether is a gift.
Years ago I shot lots of still shots showing the various steps in woodturning, and I know that photography/videography adds greatly to the time required to complete a project. So, let's appreciate what Dave is doing for us!
I agree - except it is Saturday morning compulsive watching here in the UK. Ive been a woodworker for over 45 years and rarely go near a metal - but skills are universally watchable.
Famous conductor Andre Rieu did a concert in 1996 in which an anvil was used as a musical instrument. Search "andre rieu concert with anvil" to find it. It's a bit funny, but Dave's anvil sings far, far better.
I always find it easier to thread a rod while its still in the lathe--use the tailstock to keep the die straight and napply a bit of pressure to start the thread. Great work--alls good to watch. thanks
Dave, first of all … nicely done! Second… I love watching you do metal work on your anvil. This time, I was sitting in my shop with my phone connected to my Bluetooth speaker. As soon as your anvil started ringing… my beagle jumped up, from a sound sleep and, headed out the door. It seems that she doesn’t appreciate the song if a fine anvil nearly as much as I do! LOL Thanks again for an excellent tutorial.
Great teaser at the end of the video. Just like the old weekly serial movies at the theater. There was always a “cliff hanger” at the end of the reel. Great work, Dave!
Really looking good Dave, can't wait to see the changes to the front seat. Whatever you do will be great. Stay safe and keep up the good videos and fun around there. Hi Diane. Fred.
LOL, Somewhere in there... how many times have I heard that by craftsmen... :) The magic is, your guesses, are better than any tape measure, your joints are tight, angles all fit, and a lil touch up with the horse rasp, amazingly enough, creates high end furniture quality work... yeah, somewhere in there outta work! Thank you again!
I have a decent sized shop, 24x40, two story, another 16 x 28 side shop. I have several large work surfaces, benches, etc. yet, like Dave, I often find myself assembling things on the top of the table saw. (Mine also is an old one with a big surface. Funny huh? I've wondered why that happens, and I think it is that the saw is one place that doesn't get particularly cluttered, so we use it to assemble... Every other surface, intended for assembly, gets cluttered. Very nice work Dave, as usual.
Crafting on the anvil is awesome. No computer programs, no programming errors. Just hammer away until its just right. And...Its a one only every time ! Those brad point wood drill bits mights have an advantage...an inexpensive set would be cool to try out and see if they might do a better job vs. the metal drill bit. A set is on its way just to test that...if they work out, a better quality set would be ideal for the shop. I believe I am seeing some newer equipment here and there in the "furnace" and "forging" dept. (or at least the hammer tips are).
hi, to you ...!!! welcome, awesome job everytime your work is better interesting and we can learn a lot of things and a bit of ninenteen history ... good luck and good work bye bye 👋😉
To align the bolt and the rod, cut a slot in some angle iron to accommodate the bolt head, then lay the bolt and rod in the v of the angle. Good way to weld an extension onto drill bit too. Another interesting video, thanks.
I've learned a lot watching you Dave, being a tool man to see what you've gathered up over years to do what you do. More tools then the had 150 years ago. The angles, degrees. If you need to be a master craftsmen to do what they did what where they?🤔
Watching you build those seats from more olr less scratch, my only conclusion can be that you have put in your 10,000 hours and a good many more. What a pleassure to watch you work.
Thanks! At 16:28, when you remove the excess thread; before I attempt this procedure, I thread the tap die on and bottom it out. Then I cut the thread to length. Then remove the die, which neatly cleans up the swarf left by the cutting, without any fiddly mucking about.
With those nuts holding the seat irons in place I wonder how it felt way back then on your underside and back. I can just imagine people getting bounced around and kind of grinding on them. The wagon is coming along and looks great. You are a true craftsman.
Great video Dave, outstanding iron work. I tried to follow along but the curves got away from me. That is how good you are, you just know how to make them.
Wrap some heavy chain around your anvil. Might reduce the ringing, which of course is a sign of a good anvil. Speaker magnet under the horn works too usually.
DAVE, YOUR DOING GREAT, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MAKE IT THIS WEEK, MY WIFE SAID I NEED TO TAKE OFF 2 WEEKS AN JUST QUIT, WELL I TRIED, BUT SHE ALWAYS WRIGHT, MAYBE I CAN CATCH HER NOT LOOKING...GREAT VIDEO...SEE YOU TUESDAY...TELL ALL HELLO...
As a great grandfather now I watch the old tv western shows (Gunsmoke, The Rifleman etc.) differently now. After discovering your channel a few months back and watching you build and repair wagons, stagecoaches and wheels I catch myself now looking at the wagons and stagecoaches and there construction while watching the shows. Watching you replicate broken or missing pieces of the "old west" seems very therapeutic for me! You Sir are very knowledgeable and I admire your workmanship... 🍺 🤠 🌵🌵🌵 🇺🇲
I too have been for a good year or so watching grit tv and such looking at the old wagons, And catch myself trying to stop with the remote and skip back like you would on youtube!
I wonder what the upholstery will look like.. stitched diamonds with buttons, vertical ribs with buttons. Black, red, what color. Looking forward to more.

Sign Guy--For some reason your comment felt just great! Thank you!
Ooh! Another cliff-hanger episode of Engels Coach Shop!
Big ole teaser
A torch, A hammer and an anvil another work of art by the master.
I admire the way Dave runs his finger along a part and absorbs the component specifications to go off and make a matching piece! :-)
It is called "experience".
Digit-al data programing'.....complete, stored in memory bank! :o)
Well played, NBK
I believe those gestures are just for us. A picture paints a thousand words.
@@christophermaurer1271 I agree .. he's showing us what he's going to do ... but I prefer my interpretation, that he's becoming "one with everything"
Thanks for the privilege of watching you! Very much enjoyed.
Wow those arm rests are a complex set of curves to copy, really impressive work!
These are not the curves you are looking for.
WoW! Brilliant soft furnishings!
That editing is getting slicker!
And that end teaser! 100%
Thanks for all this!
Watching you work on these wagons really makes me miss the wagon-builders at Dollywood. They built them just like you, they built them right! They are sorely missed whenever I go(which is very rare nowadays) and it's not the same as it should be! Great work as always!
A cliffhanger! I can't wait!

Dave is a true old-world craftsman. And his videos are crucial in preserving those skills.
Thanks .
Taking the time to experiment .
Why wouldn't a guy.

@@clarencegreen3071 Thank you.
Those seats with the hardware on are a work of art. I wouldn't want anyone touching them let alone sitting on them.
Love it, love it, love it!
Ah. Friday evening compulsory viewing. Ah relax.
I agree - except it is Saturday morning compulsive watching here in the UK. Ive been a woodworker for over 45 years and rarely go near a metal - but skills are universally watchable.
Dave you really got the anvil singing this time, nice steady note.
Famous conductor Andre Rieu did a concert in 1996 in which an anvil was used as a musical instrument. Search "andre rieu concert with anvil" to find it. It's a bit funny, but Dave's anvil sings far, far better.
Thank you teacher, you are a great builder, carpenter, metallurgist, turner, welder, assembler, in short you know everything... hugs.
You can always tell a true craftsman by his eye for detail.
I always find it easier to thread a rod while its still in the lathe--use the tailstock to keep the die straight and napply a bit of pressure to start the thread.
Great work--alls good to watch. thanks

Always love watching your craftsmanship, Dave!! Thanks for sharing!
It is a true highlight for me when you post a video sir!
I am right for the week now having had this exposure to the master, thanks Dave.
The profile gets more and more complete!
Getting the situation ironed out, nice.
Really looking good Dave, can't wait to see the changes to the front seat. Whatever you do will be great. Stay safe and keep up the good videos and fun around there. Hi Diane. Fred.

sir craftsman like your self are few and far between i wish i had one third of your talent
Looking forward to the appolstery application. Some of those seats looked rather stiff with that mohare fill.
Crafting on the anvil is awesome. No computer programs, no programming errors. Just hammer away until its just right. And...Its a one only every time !

It’s the weekend Dave go check on the cattle and relax, this coach is turning out great.
I could watch this all day long.
YOU are a TRUE CRAFTSMAN
Practical art. Thank you for sharing.
oh boy I do love that bluegrass
hi, to you ...!!!
welcome, awesome job everytime your work is better interesting and we can learn a lot of things and a bit of ninenteen history ...
good luck and good work
bye bye
👋😉
Well done Sir.
To align the bolt and the rod, cut a slot in some angle iron to accommodate the bolt head, then lay the bolt and rod in the v of the angle. Good way to weld an extension onto drill bit too. Another interesting video, thanks.
That is super metal work. Those complex bends ... very impressive.

Love the background music! That song is the Big Scioto!

Thanks Dave, I enjoy your show and craftsmanship.
THANK FOR YOUR VIDEOS . YOUR CRAFTMANSHIP INSPIRES ME TO UP MY GAME IN MY WOOTURNING SHOP.
Great Friday evening video,could watch all night.relaxing!
It's all in the details. Thanks for sharing the details.
This is the normal Friday video. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the midweek videos too. This one is the classic one!!!
Beautiful work as always Dave.
Great choice of music too.
Thanks for sharing!
Stay safe and we'll see you next week,.
This reminds me of watching my neighbor build his Chuck wagon
Thanks for sharing brother, you're appreciated! ✌🇦🇺
One piece at a time it gets better every step of the way.
That’s some tricky business making (bending) up those arm rest right and left, those Seats are beautiful, very impressive,,,,job well done
I absolutely love your channel, thanks.
Nice work Dave. Your eye for detail is fantastic. Stay safe.
Reiteration and do it again and again...and the bend looks..............
Durn good!!
Thanks!

Pretty sure that he’s going to upholster the seats
@@gs1100ed i wonder if they had upholstered seats way back then on a wagon like this. You have a good point though.
Incredible craftsmanship.
Can't imagine those seat irons with the bolts being very comfortable. Folks probably brought their own cushions or fought for the middle seat.
Thanks Dave! I am really enjoying your work on this wagon. Great job on the arm rests.
Great video Dave, outstanding iron work. I tried to follow along but the curves got away from me. That is how good you are, you just know how to make them.
Impressive work.
You are definitely a man of many talents. Thanks for sharing them with us.
Thanks, Dave. Great fun.
Excellent fabrication and blacksmithing skills.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅✅
Dave, Beautiful work.🎉
The good work goes on. 👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.👍🙂🙂
Just great Dave how you can make all the parts that you require.
👍👍
Nice replication , not easy I know and I am impressed at how you just do it !
Always interesting from first of a kind to expert duplication
Very nice. I'm enjoying the ride
Wrap some heavy chain around your anvil. Might reduce the ringing, which of course is a sign of a good anvil. Speaker magnet under the horn works too usually.
Man, those old-timers were tough to sit on a square nut for a long bumpy wagon ride.
Just been passing time waiting for this
You make all this look simple :)
Love all you do.
Keeping it authentic nice iron work Dave have a day love from TEXAS
Dave...Thanks for sharing....From Brazil.
What do you mean we _Might_ get into that next week?!? Come on Dave don't tease us now lol.
Once again thanks for the video.
If I lived in the US I would definately try to become your apprentice. Amazing skills, thank you!
DAVE, YOUR DOING GREAT, I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MAKE IT THIS WEEK, MY WIFE SAID I NEED TO TAKE OFF 2 WEEKS AN JUST QUIT, WELL I TRIED, BUT SHE ALWAYS WRIGHT, MAYBE I CAN CATCH HER NOT LOOKING...GREAT VIDEO...SEE YOU TUESDAY...TELL ALL HELLO...
I sure envy your eye/crometer.
Outstanding work!
I like your background music. Good video. Nice work.

myself I think both of them came out very nice !
Looking great!
Fine quality work Sir----
You need a 3/8 spring Fuller tool Dave
Great they look very similar ,
Amazing craftsmanship!
Looking great
