Same thing the previous said and double on anything they didn't think to mention!!!!!! The "ole guys" didn't have some of the power tools you've used and they probably had more than one person working. However, how they managed the wheel building must have been a miracle......Thank You for taking the time to record this whole process. You are my new hero!!!!!! LOL
He plans the work and works the plan. There is nothing this man cannot do - and almost always without assistance. Simply amazing. Thank you David. Always inspiring.
Big thanks to Dave and Diane for hosting my wife and I at the shop this past week. It is an amazing place and we truly were very fortunate to meet them and get a glimpse at it and the current project. That wheel is very large. Like Bill said below wonderful display of craftsmanship.
I ran a huge 20 foot vertical boring mill doing what you’re doing , but I cut steel !! You’re doin it man !!! Excellent way to true up you a wood wheel!!
I totally appreciate how much time can go into even small fab/projects......couple years ago..."Yeah, couple hours will do it",,,,,.....Now...."Wow, that was great, now, where did I put my gloves"..and...a couple days later "That was not too bad"....LOL !!
I am glad someone in the would knows what they are doing! thanks, and a double thanks to Diane the person in the background that holds it all together.
Hahahaaha... HUGE wheel, HUGE paintbrush. I had to laugh when saw what the big broom was for. :-) Actually really satisfying seeing the oil go on. Project is really moving along! One of the more impressive builds I've seen here, just in sheer size and weight. Naturally the buggies are far more complex.
"Under the spreading chestnut tree...." Oh Wow, Ya sure messaged that irregularity with some gentle finesse. Good thing ya didn't need a bigger hammer! Nice job Dave, thanks for sharing. 👍♥️🇺🇸
In this day and age of machine automation and technology you still can't beat a craftsman to watch I could watch Dave for hours and I do . Thank you Dave
You did another good job there and I’m very proud of you and you’ve also taught me a few steps that I thought I’d forgot I appreciate watching you I’ve had three strokes and two heart attacks and lost a lot of memory but you’re helping bring it back thank you very much your friend and I enjoy being a friend of yours and I would like to meet you one day before I pass away
While I know we all love everything you do, it's shrinking those iron tires onto their wheels that we love the most, and with wheels that size, it's going to be special. I bet you are not short of volunteers to help when that happens.
I enjoy watching you figure out how you make something true, like the wheel. You're a pleasure to watch and learn something interesting. Thanks Dave. Stay safe.
That wheel is going to be a work of art when you are done with it. The color of the wood when you coated it with the oil just popped. I love the look of the wheel like it is, be a shame to paint it.
I know for a lot of craftsmen it's the build. And taking nothing away from Dave's work. For me it is that first coat of finish that makes the wood pop that makes me smile. IMHO
you have to paint it for it to last and protect it from the elements and especially UV from the sun. The highest form of respect for all the work put into it would be to actually use it instead of it just sitting indoors collecting dust.
I've taken so much inspiration from your work ethics, Dave, and now try to do any work I do (not wheelright stuff, other manual projects) with similar meticulous attention to details. It's not as easy as you make it look!
*- So relaxed...So very competent...you are, Dave.* *- It is good to see...plus the secret chuckle you carry and whisper quiet sense of humor you carry throughout everything.*
Yep, that's exactly how we would do it. Two hammers and some heat. I watch this channel and the only thing lacking is an apprentice learning the trade. Yeah, a pain, but it hurts to see these skills die away. Keep 'er goin' David! Pete from the PNW.
I've watched most of the video's you post and you never cease to amaze !! There's a young man out there somewhere who really should be learning these skills. Many thanks, Keith.(UK)
I've heard the phrase "Being painted with a broad brush"...never seen anyone do it with a broom!! I don't know why I'd need that technique, but it's sure one I won't forget.
I've watched u for several yrs now..start to finish,this BIG WHEEL takes the cake( I invented the square wheel ) .this is so ...ONE WORD ..ONE WORD ,SIR..ONE WORD......PSYCHEDELIC ...
I just completed the stain and poly on three custom cabinets and thought it was a time consuming process. Hmmm, maybe the mop is the way to go. Just kidding, your mop is a perfect way to do something this large.
Can't wait for the bonfire and setting! I can only imagine what setting these big tires must've been in the day for a community, i imagine a lot of people would've come for it, not just for the work, but also for the qualities of a good bonfire. :)
Thanks for sharing with us Dave, as always you did a fantastic job. I hope the second wheel goes easier for you and look forward to seeing the pair of them completed. You made some fantastic repairs to the steel where the weld and flat spot was. Stay safe around there and keep up the great work. Fred.
I've always been impressed with how you remove all flammables from the floor and nearby areas when using open flame. It's as though you don't want to burn the shop down. 👍👍👍
My grandfather was born more than 100 years ago. One of his favorite criticisms for rowdy children was "you kids could tear up an eight wheeled log wagon."
I forgot you have to do this all over again! I know the next one will go slightly easier, but still a lot to do. The wheel looks incredible with the oil stain on it. Can't wait to see the tire setting.
"New Tires While You Wait".....Ufdah, just when you see light at the end of the tunnel someone yells Again! I think I forgot about the second wheel about three episodes ago. :^)
I love all these videos that can teach me little methods i can put in the mental toolbox that i know ill use some day as i'm doing some project...Its not just wheels it can apply too...as simple as duh? put two torches on both sides of a steal to even heat it and quicker...
I missed the beginning where you mentioned the second wheel. I thought you would balance the tree trunks on either side of a single wheel. That would be a sight to see. All the other wood hauling wagons had two wheels, but I thought you might have found a futuristic one .
Absolutely brilliant Dave .how you tackle those little flaws is brilliant. .looks like this one is ready for the final step .then just a bit of tinkering on the final finish 👍👍👍👍

Having the tools to get this kind of project done is one thing, knowing where to hit is on another level.
What a monumental task, one would be enough for most.What a great job fixing that flat spot!
Absolutely incredible what you can get done working alone. I am in awe of you sir.
Big thanks to Dave and Diane for hosting my wife and I at the shop this past week. It is an amazing place and we truly were very fortunate to meet them and get a glimpse at it and the current project. That wheel is very large. Like Bill said below wonderful display of craftsmanship.
They are wonderful hosts!
It was nice to meet you both.

No views when I checked in. Great admiration for your workmanship and the display of craftsmanship garnered over a lifetime of like work. Kudos!
The Master Craftsman demonstrated the essential basics of design art , and achievement engineering , in pursuing perfection. Thanks
Goodness gracious, that’s a lot of work! The wood took on a beautiful color when you sealed it. 😊
I never pondered how one would fix a flat on a steel tire. Thanks for taking us to school!
I am glad someone in the would knows what they are doing! thanks, and a double thanks to Diane the person in the background that holds it all together.
Wow, that is a master practicing his art.

Again: YOU ARE THE MASTER !!! Enjoy every moment of your video, unbelievable!!!
"..and then do it all over again" You're a boss. Amazing.
Thank you for doing me the honor of being able to watch this and all of your projects
You did another good job there and I’m very proud of you and you’ve also taught me a few steps that I thought I’d forgot I appreciate watching you I’ve had three strokes and two heart attacks and lost a lot of memory but you’re helping bring it back thank you very much your friend and I enjoy being a friend of yours and I would like to meet you one day before I pass away
You saw that bend was fixed with love ❤️ who else sees the heart ????
That's 2 big jobs irrespective of their actual size. All factors together I'd say that's a HUGE accomplishment.
Looking forward to the tire fitting video.
I really love the meticulous care you take in what you do. Bravo.
I’m totally on the edge of my seat for the wheel setting finale !!!
Nice flat tire repair came out nearly perfect. Ray Stormont

What a wonderful wise man thanks 🙏👍
amazing. Explains the industrial revolutiion. Pure sweat, on a base of intellect.
I enjoy watching you figure out how you make something true, like the wheel. You're a pleasure to watch and learn something interesting. Thanks Dave. Stay safe.
Working a project, despite its 'warts', is so satisfying!! Thanks D & D!!
Like I said before' that's hard work swinging big hammers. God bless you.
That will be a very heavy wheel when completed. Well planned and superb craftsmanship.
What an awesome video into something we don't usually get to see !! Thanks so mmuch for sharing, Dave and may God Bless.
That wheel is going to be a work of art when you are done with it. The color of the wood when you coated it with the oil just popped. I love the look of the wheel like it is, be a shame to paint it.
It would be a crime to paint over that wood!
I know for a lot of craftsmen it's the build. And taking nothing away from Dave's work. For me it is that first coat of finish that makes the wood pop that makes me smile. IMHO
Was thinking the same, the paint bandits will blow that dream away.. @@rosscollins2910
you have to paint it for it to last and protect it from the elements and especially UV from the sun. The highest form of respect for all the work put into it would be to actually use it instead of it just sitting indoors collecting dust.
The wheel is now a wheel less the tire! Great catch on the weld defect. Excellent straightening of the tire. You make it all look so easy.
My arms would fall off handling two sledgehammers like that. And my thighs would be bruised from bracing the tire like that. My hat is off to you sir!
It’s alway a pleasure to watch you do these jobs, such a professional, a true craftsman, Thank you for sharing your world with us! God Bless
Amazing work as always. What an inspiration you are Dave. Thank you for sharing your work with the world!✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻
Your talents and math skills are beyond most. Appreciate you
You are a wonderful craftman I tip my Virtual Hat to you good sir!
I've taken so much inspiration from your work ethics, Dave, and now try to do any work I do (not wheelright stuff, other manual projects) with similar meticulous attention to details. It's not as easy as you make it look!
*- So relaxed...So very competent...you are, Dave.*
*- It is good to see...plus the secret chuckle you carry and whisper quiet sense of humor you carry throughout everything.*
Dave, I hope to see these wheels completed. I wrote you a note to explain that. You have been a blessing to me with your work. Thank you.
Nice workmanship the project is doing very well. It is hard work. Planning ahead pays off.
A delight to see a craftsman at work
Good job straightening that out.
Yep, that's exactly how we would do it. Two hammers and some heat. I watch this channel and the only thing lacking is an apprentice learning the trade. Yeah, a pain, but it hurts to see these skills die away. Keep 'er goin' David! Pete from the PNW.
Bravo... perseverance and passion are the keys here... if one really wants something one has the power to get anything...
I've watched most of the video's you post and you never cease to amaze !! There's a young man out there somewhere who really should be learning these skills. Many thanks, Keith.(UK)
Amazing. Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
What a mighty job !! Great stuff. Cheers D, from Australia.
I've heard the phrase "Being painted with a broad brush"...never seen anyone do it with a broom!!
I don't know why I'd need that technique, but it's sure one I won't forget.
Can't wait to see that tire put on.
Lot of work for one person. Great video.
The hammering, when fixing the flat area, sounded like the 'Call to Worship' bells of my village church.
There's few but Dave Engels could do a job like that successfully on their own. Very well done!
Doing his projects, no matter what they are, to the quality of "just so" is commendable to the nth degree. I want to work on that in my own life.
Very impressive. I'm looking forward to the next episode.
Dave,
Will you be building the arch between the wheels also?
The finished assembly will be something to see!
Watching it get stain the first time is better than a powerwashing video; there should be an entire section of you tube for staining lol.
I've watched u for several yrs now..start to finish,this BIG WHEEL takes the cake( I invented the square wheel ) .this is so ...ONE WORD ..ONE WORD ,SIR..ONE WORD......PSYCHEDELIC ...
I just completed the stain and poly on three custom cabinets and thought it was a time consuming process. Hmmm, maybe the mop is the way to go. Just kidding, your mop is a perfect way to do something this large.
That is one heck of a wheel. You're a real worker.
Always a pleasure watching a master at his craft. I understand how much work it is to document what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait for the bonfire and setting! I can only imagine what setting these big tires must've been in the day for a community, i imagine a lot of people would've come for it, not just for the work, but also for the qualities of a good bonfire. :)
I look forward to your videos every Friday :). Amazing to see how much effort and thought goes into every step - good luck with wheel #2!
Дай Бог тебе здоров'я, хароший. Человек
Thanks for sharing with us Dave, as always you did a fantastic job. I hope the second wheel goes easier for you and look forward to seeing the pair of them completed.

G'day Dave, well done.🦘🇦🇺
I’d give my left arm to sit with that man with a beer and chatter away at him about all the cool stuff he’s done
What you can do is absolutely awesome especially by yourself with such great skills to do that
Your skills are truly amazing.
Can't wait till the big fire!
Wow, that wheel is immense! I'm amazed you can muscle it around yourself. Be careful!
My grandfather was born more than 100 years ago. One of his favorite criticisms for rowdy children was "you kids could tear up an eight wheeled log wagon."
Dave is one of the hardest working people I've ever seen! So industrious. And fun to watch too!
Thanks a real great job great to look at
I forgot you have to do this all over again! I know the next one will go slightly easier, but still a lot to do. The wheel looks incredible with the oil stain on it. Can't wait to see the tire setting.
a true old school craftsman
Great video, thumbs up, Really enjoy the Wheel building, lo keep rewatching the travelling on horseback you did, a great trip
I’m amazed with how much of a craftsman you are Dave
Never would have guessed there would be a wheel (I think) bigger than the Borax wagon. And “big bonfire” - an understatement.
The stuff you do is simply amazing!
When you were sledging that hot steel it sounded like bad girl, bad girl, bad girl lol nice work Dave!! 🤔👍👍👍
Thanks Dave
"New Tires While You Wait".....Ufdah, just when you see light at the end of the tunnel someone yells Again! I think I forgot about the second wheel about three episodes ago. :^)

holy moly did not realize you had two wheels to do, what a monumental undertaking. just amazing to watch. can't wait to see you shrink the tires on.
A single wheel would make for one heck of a wheelbarrow! : )
just amazing how he can meticulously put these together, it is more art than anything else.
Amazing craftsmanship
You are amazing! I certainly appreciate your videos. Best wishes.
That last adjustment you made was an incredible improvement. One down and one to go.
Nice work Dave. Working through your steps to set it all up. 🇺🇸👍🏻
Well Done as always!!! 👍🏻👀🎥,🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It would be interesting to see how long the second one takes compared to the first, now that all the bugs have been worked out.
I missed the beginning where you mentioned the second wheel. I thought you would balance the tree trunks on either side of a single wheel. That would be a sight to see. All the other wood hauling wagons had two wheels, but I thought you might have found a futuristic one .
Mightily impressive how you put that right. Well done sir.
Absolutely brilliant Dave .how you tackle those little flaws is brilliant. .looks like this one is ready for the final step .then just a bit of tinkering on the final finish 👍👍👍👍
