I am 79 and a retired building construction superintendent. It is so relaxing watching you work Dave. You are a true craftsman.
Is anyone else amazed how Dave never misses driving a nail or peening a rivet with the hammer or punch?
It's such a joy watching a true craftsman at work ! Thanks again my friend.
I agree with you 💯 👍 👌.
Kind regards from London UK 🇬🇧
You nailed it. 😉
Greetings from Germany
do craftsmen and magician share the same spirit? because what you do with rusted old iron crap is magic.
I'm having trouble believing that video is actually 15:23 long. I swear it felt more like 5:23! Thanks Dave.
Dear Dave. I usually watch your videos to entertain myself, but I am always aware of the incalculable value of this video library for posterity, since the knowledge about this traditional art and craft is preserved. I can only marvel and congratulate you for the incredible work you are doing. Best wishes and regards from Argentina.
Exactly my sentiments,thanks for taking these words out of my mouth.
@@garthbutton699 Thank you for your nice comment. You are so kind.
I never thought of brazing on new material for threads, and thought (at first) that it surely cannot hold. But then I thought about the materials and stresses and how they'll be contained. They should be fine. Thank you for opening my mind to that.
And the rest was fascinating as well. I love to watch a craftsman work. Thank you.
Learned something new again, the measurement of a wagon. Your skill at driving long thin nails into thin boards without blowing out the side is a testament to your your skills.
I wonder how many people watching really know how many skill sets you have. It’s a true pleasure watching you. You are not a jack of all trades you are a master at all trades
Thank you 🙏🏻
I'm convinced he can do anything.
@@12345....... As time goes by, I find myself nervous when I watch some folks do work on video. Not with Dave.
The level of craftsmanship in these videos never ceases to amaze me! Keep them coming Dave and Thank You!
The variety of mastered crafts in Your workshop is always a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks again for sharing your skills. The way of bracing the sides without compromising the load space was interesting but most impressive this week was the method of straightening the twisted cap irons.
It never fails to amaze me how many trades you cover, and well. You have built a huge knowledge base, a great pity you do not have an apprentice. Thanks for great craft content and the history of wagon building.
The iron rod that you bent into a closed eye at one end was really slick, You bend the metal and as if by magic it turns out really nice, I have bent an eye on a round bar and it didn't turn out nearly as nice. David Adair
Ist just a joy to watch Your work , every punch a hit, you are a really Master of your craft. There will never be a problem where you dont have already a solution. Can't stop watching your Videos. I wish this series will never end. Many greetings from southern Germany...
Thank you.
Great. Your workshop has old but well maintained equipment. You are thorough in your work.
Thank you, Mr. Engels!
Watching your videos is therapeutic.
It is Always such a pleasure to watch a True Craftsman keeping the art alive! I love every Episode.
Ah, don't forget to paint that nut in the ending view! 😁
Keep up the good work!
JIM 🤩
The nailing sequence all the way down one side was cool! Kudos to the video editor! Though I would have been afraid to split the top board and pilot drilled all those holes! 😬
After a hard 14 hour working day today, this was just the thing to relax to. And I learned a bunch of stuff too.
Thanks Dave.
Dave! you always have a jig and a trick do just about any conceivable job, amazing to watch the efficiency with which you work. Would love you to do a shop tour showcasing all the various equipment you use and why. I'll never build a waggon or a wheel but sure enjoy watching you do so.
Amazing how you repair and make usable worn out, stripped, bent, broken, or missing wagon parts.
the contrast of the wood with the irons is just really beautiful, that has to be my favorite combination of colors. Just mesmerizing.
Great addition to the sand blaster!
Beautiful
More awesome craftsmanship by Dave. Thanks for filming what you do. It helps me avoid a lot of problems knowing your methods.
Dave as I have said before i learn something new every time i watch your videos. This time it was how to restore old damaged treads. THANKS Dan H
"Stripped, Bent and Twisted" is the name of my new grunge band.
Love to watch you work, and love your videos.
Can't wait to get back to Montana.
Love watching you do your Craft. Beautiful!
I was impressed with making the rod going across the box with the loop on it,and straigtening the rails,the rest is bonus,Great video
Really enjoy watching your craftsmanship
Bent and twisted? Sounds like a Forth of July Family cookout. 😜💖💖
Couldn't resist. 😊
Dave, I never cease to be amazed by your attention to detail and craftsmanship.
There's no arguing it, the man makes a really fine wagon.
Always a pleasure and a privilege to watch you at work Dave.
It is a real treat watching you work through various metal and wood working issues! Thank you.
It has been and continues to be an honor to watch a master craftsman of the highest caliber at his trade. Dave, thank you for creating this archive for future generations to study
7:00 Thanks for sharing this straitening method. It's quite brilliant, frankly. Basically you pre-tension the piece in its desired cold state geometry then, with heat applied selectively, the part pretty much "self-upset" in place. No banging about, no risk of thinning or stretching the metal 👍😎
Nice to have old tools (greenfield die set) that still work well after 100plus years! That was a very clever way to straighten out the long strips of steel! 😁👍😁👍
Hi Dave, another interesting video. Thanks again for keeping my wagon wheels. I was excited to get home and put the reconditioned wheels on my wagon. They look great.!!
Love the extended sand blast option! May have to adapt it to mine! Fantastic Craftsmanship! Thank You.
As always a pleasure to watch your videos. A true craftsman always makes it look easy to the lay person.
Good show! Thank you!
Nailed this part of the project.
Thanks to you Mr. Engel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great Stuff. Im really looking forward to the chuck box for the chuck wagon.
Beautiful job again Dave.
Fantastic job Dave, really enjoy watching a master craftsman showing his skills. Thanks so much for the great information also. Stay safe and keep having fun with what you're doing. Fred.
Your work is so Awesome!! I’m really glad that i found your channel !! I really enjoy it when your videos are lined up in a row. I’ve still got a lot to catch up on
Thank you again
Very interesting build.
Once again thanks for the video.
Thanks Dave, I am really enjoying your video library and your craftsmanship!
One word describes you: craftsman.
Hey Dave, I Love It. I'm sensing some OCD coming out of Montana. You build it just like I would. Now I want to go out and buy myself an acetylene Torch and start having some fun. All Thumbs Up Cowboy.
Love the videos! Really interesting how you straightened those irons. Learned a lot.
Always very interesting
excellent as always
Excellent work as always 👏
Look forward to every Friday Dave. Would like some longer videos, possible?? Have a great weekend.
Pretty neat build. I can’t wait to see how you do the kitchen
7:10 Aha the clampy-clampy-stress-relievy method. 😆
Once again another great job Dave.
Wow that waggon is looking good already 👌.
Kind regards to all.
*- Clever. Wise. **8:00** And, application of fundamental principals. ... I learned a lot, Dave.*
*- Surprised that you didn't drill undersized holes for the nails so the wood would not split over time.*
Outstanding
genial , se aprende mucho viendo tus videos
Always fascinating and educational. Thank you for sharing.
Ingenious work around on the sandblaster, love how you think outside the box! Punn intended!
thanks for sharing
I’ve got a nearly identical die stock from Wells Bros Co in Greenfield that is nearly identical to your, I presume to be, Greenfield Tap and Die die stock. GTD and Wells were on parallel streets, Wells and Federal maybe a couple miles apart. So cool. Greenfield was my shire town. So much wonderful tool and die manufacturing there and “nearby” in Millers Falls and Athol. The level of craftsmanship in those tools was extraordinary.
Interesting. Thank you.
That thread repair sure worked slick. I would have never thought of that way but it sure looks right once it is done.
Watching you nail down the box side irons, I’m thinking the modern world does offer some perks that 19th C wagon wrights would have thought wonderful, GRK RSS screws and a Makita impact driver.
The iron’s really look good on the blonde wood. This is going to be a nice looking wagon.
Why the possessive apostrophe?
With every video you do, I learn on more Indian trick. Keep doin what your doin. thanks
I love watching your videos. I learn something new every time. Thank you. You are a true craftsman.
Hi Dave, it was nice and exciting to see you again. Seen on 7/9/22 at 4:09 PM.
Your videos are so pleasing to watch. Every aspect is interesting.
Love the videos always and it was very nice to meet you in person. Thanks for taking the time out of your day.
Thanks Dave
nice job and what a simple idea to make so your sandblaster would fit longer pieces !
I like what you've done to the sandblaster. Gotta file that away for future use.
Thanks again Dave......Shoe🇺🇸
That's very neat how the out rigger metal parts adjust to make the sides of the wagon square. Also neat to see how you did the brazed repair on the stripped threads. Do you use anything on the threads when reassembling? I guess period correct is nothing. With my 'modern' stuff (pre war cars) generally I use Loctite if it shouldn't come undone or copper grease of it should!
Thank you
Stripped, twisted and bent...sounds like a couple of Satruday nights from my early 20's...
I your thread restoration kung fu is powerful. 👍
Fine attention to details Dave , beautiful end result and thanks for the straitening tip its a keeper . Have a great day .
Your work is amazing, I really enjoy watching the video
Great review of how it's done and why it's done that way.
Boy I can't wait to see you build the chuck box!!! I've been wanting to build one for a long time now. Also would like to ask if you if square nails were ever used in horse drawn vehicles? As always, Looking forward to next video!👍
I love your tools.
Amongst al your amazing repair skills you manage to solder on a thread repair material and using an amazing adjustable thread cutter to get the old rod to work again. What was the material you used to solder on? Looked like brass or something but is that going to carry the pull on the threads?
And in general: Your one amazing resource! Thanks for sharing your experience and craftsmanship methods!
That was (amazing) brazing-
Brass
.. Cheers to you.
Just an FYI. There's a Studebaker "Izzer" buggy for sale in southern Oregon, on Klamath Falls craigslist. Harness and all. A very delicate ole thing.
13:00 Those look like bright nails. Even with paint on them, aren't they gonna rust like crazy?
Hello Dave and Co. It always surprises me that you don't have wagons and horses tied up in front of the shop waiting for your craftsmanship to repair them. How far away are the Amish and or Mennonite communities from you.
PS, how are the strawberries doing.
Regards Richard 🇬🇧
We didn't have any Amish near us until 3 or 4 years ago. Close to 20 families have moved to our area from the eastern United States. The closest ones are about 8 miles away. About all Dave does for them is replace the rubber on their buggy wheels. Our strawberries did well this year. I got over a gallon. 🤗
@@dianeengel4155 that's a good haul of Strawberries then, we have had some really hot weather over here in the East of England so our strawberries where plenty but over relatively quickly. We had more off the shoots than the original plants, so i suppose after 5 years it's time to re plant some and get some that fruit layer as well so we can have them over a longer period.
Regards to you both, i do appreciate the time and effort that is put into the videos and editing them as well.
Yours Richard
Thank you.
Amazing as always how you take old and make it new again.
I assume you predrilled pilot holes for the nails.
Arabella just finished playing as your post dropped in. Perfect timing. Life is good.
3:47 It all comes clear in this shot.
