Greetings from Germany... I have been watching the restoration of the sheep wagon all along but this one episode I have not seen. Seeing how it's done takes me back about 3 years when I gave a way an old Goat Wagon from here in Germany. It was in very bad shape and it was my desire to attempt to restore it. However after several years of having it in storage I finally had to give it up. Actually I had no idea as to how to even go about it. I did give it to a fellow who claimed he could and would restore it. To this day I have no idea if he actually restore it or not. Watching Dave's process always reminded me of what I could have done had I only knew or may be had some guidance. So I watch and smile to see someone as skilled as Dave do his magic.
Hi Dave, and Diane, I guess this really was a streak of good luck to find such a fitting undercarriage. Nice job keeping the new look old. You look much better than last week, and I hope you feel as good. Thanks for all the cool stuff that you do. Take care, and we'll see you Friday.
Hi Dave/Diane, I was watching the latest episode of Carl Rodgers and her graciously mentioned your kindness in talking with him about his issue with bending wood. Just wanted to note that he called you a "Master Craftsman", which I concur with however, he being English, the statement seems to carry more gravitas. I Loves me an English accent.
It’s nice to see the completed project, and the work that went into the undercarriage. I hope those who visit the museum, will appreciate the work and effort you put into the preservation of this piece of Montana history. Another job well done!
Outstanding skill with the 12 inch drill bit, hitting a hole on the other side of the thick wood by eye. You only know how difficult it is if you've tried to do it before 😅.
Carl Rogers over on his you tube channel gave high praise to your expertise on steam bending wood on his latest video. If you haven't seen it, he's restoring an arched top wagon also.
Hope to see some photo's of the wagon on display inside the museum. This was a longer video than usual which meant extra considerable more editing by Diane. Your team did well. 👍👍👍
It's been a real pleasure watching this wagon come together, and it makes me happy knowing that your artwork will be displayed in a museum for others to enjoy.
Been watching you for years 👍🏻👍🏻 you look at these hi tech engineers who can’t even adjust there car seats , the work you do is fantastic and will never be old because it’s not the wagons or the wheels it’s the knowledge and understanding of creating things with your hands and repairing things that others won’t attempt. God bless you.
Hello Dave, Carl Rodgers in France described you as a master craftsman, I couldn’t agree more,I’ve watched you years now and have appreciated every moment, thank you,
This wagon will never need repairs again, because your work is going into a museum and I hope they have a sign giving you Credit for the restoration and repairs on this historical wagon, !👍🏻👍🏻
I look forward to each of your videos. I stop whatever I am doing and sit down and enjoy the time with you. Thank you for showing us that there are still people who care about real craftsmanship. I noticed early on your attention to such small details such as making sure all the nuts line up after they are tightened.
Dave the part you fabricated about 16 to 18 minutes in was absolutely fascinating to watch you work. I love all your work, that 2 minutes just really stool out for me.
It is truly amazing watching you assemble all these different parts many of which you have made with modern equipment but it does make me wonder about how they were designed and made in the first place on the assumption that it was not part of a mass production process.
The usual masterclass in every discipline from blacksmithing through upholstery and joinery to colour finishing - quite remarkable. I applaud your skills. Thank you. Bill B - UK.
Although I will never make a 'real' wooden wheel, I did make a reasonable copy of a pair of wheels for a full size cannon I made by watching this channel. Mine looks great, if you don't get too close....or try to move it much.....
Its amazing how much hardware is used in the fabrication of the under carriage of these units. The time it takes to make all those parts. Well thought out. Great job.
Hello Dave and Diane, My wife, Ellen and I have been watching since your borax wagon days. Your aging techniques are wonderful. However, for a few minutes there, the place looked like the aftermath of the Saint Valentines Day massacre! We can't wait for the next video.
Great job. By clocking all the bolt heads and nuts you show a higher level of craftsmanship than the original makers. I would like to get your take on an old set of running gear we have for one of our utility wagons.
A while back I had to introduce your videos to my wife. I go to our side porch every Tuesday and Friday religiously after I have finished my own humble work on our properties . I was starting to think she thought I had a girlfriend…..
Whew! Just watching this video made my back ache! Amazing skill in the old time craft of wagon making. To think of all the wagons and carts that went out of St Joseph, St Louis and Independence, Missouri. The wagon and blacksmith shops must have been running 24/7.
Hi Diane and Dave, nice to hear you sounding and looking better. It's a lovely undercarriage , The museum will definitely love your extremely hard work project. I DO ALSO.❤
A little late for what if, but have You ever thought of brushing the new wood with a soft wire brush to help with the weathered appearance? BTW, I tried the metal filing and vinegar solution on my garden door. Looks great 😊. Thanks for the idea!
Wow, your videos are always well shot and well edited, but this one was downright artful. Pacing is perfect, everything is well lit - and I love the woods aging and finishing time lapse in particular. I have tried to tell people about your channel with great enthusiasm and people kind of glaze over. I think if I could get them to watch this video, I might get through how important the work is that your documenting.
Hi Dave and Diane ☺, a nice mix of woodwork ,and metal work, to bring this undercarriage back to life, watching you take things apart, and repair,rebuild them is just fascinating, you are a true craftsman Dave. Hope you've got over your summer cold, look after yourselves, best wishe's to you and Diane, Stuart and Megan UK.
I literally heard the old wood soak the linseed oil across the ocean. My admiration goes to all those anonymous people who throughout the ages brought that undercarriage to perfection. One feels that Dave shares that admiration.
Здравствуйте привет из Нижнего гляжу вы полное реставрацию движущих механизм как у вас хорошо всё отлично получается ну что сказать золотые руки неверно от бога дай вам хорошего здоровья и вашим близким да хранит вас всех господь Нижний Новгород Юра жду новых видео спасибо
It is amazing to watch your skills but is also amazing to watch all of the engineering that has evolved over the years to harness the power of a horse.
Once again - the master of changing the old partially broken history into elegant quaint memories. Quite an accomplished magician. Complete with most of the hows & whys. Back to the days when survival needed a dose of honesty & self reliance. Kind of a view of what's wrong with way too much progress. This country was built with hard work and selflessness, to some extent, and ruined by progress and technology . Oh well ...........
When I watch a movie, it is typically an old Western. Naturally there are a lot of wagons, carts, and coaches in them thar movies. Having watched Engles Coach Shop for many years, I find a new appreciation for the things made in that era. I find it fascinating. I'll pause a movie just so I can better view the wagons and so on.
I must have missed just how much work you did to restore that undercarriage for this project. Thanks for including this video. I enjoy your projects and channel immensley.
That sheep wagon was a great project. That museum will have a beautiful exhibit for the public. I'll have to add that stop when coming to Montana. Thanks for bringing us along...
Back to the finish line and preserved for History. Thanks Dave for taking us on this journey with you. That was a fine ride , stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
PS on my last text it was halfway through the video I did not realize you were using the wood for the brake shoes but the metal holding the brake shoes is two different shapes and shapes one side to very different from the other side. You do excellent work One part I seen you put in a cotter pin in and a matching part on the other side that had a homemade smash pin I guess you're just trying to save a little bit of effort there is so much if I was there in person I would talk to you about everything and pick your brain I'm very disabled and I can't really do nothing about it or help you in the situation but honestly if I could I would volunteer to help you just be able to watch and learn from what you do it is great do great work you have a lot of knowledge it is great you're doing the videos it is protecting that knowledge for everybody who comes from the past and present everybody will see and understand how to watch the videos from the past they will live forever thank you these videos will be on the internet for very long time thank you for taking the time to make them there is a couple shortcuts that you do with welders that they do not have in the past I kind of wish it. I would have seen how they did it in the past all the Forge welding without the Mig welder that's okay you do a great job thank you keep up the good work sorry for the early post on a comment I would really wish I could help you out even if I just clean the shop I would learn so much from you but there's nothing I could do with that knowledge cuz my disability I'm in a recliner with my legs elevated all day watching TV that's all I got left keep up the shows they're very entertaining they help me a lot thank you
I can watch this man make anything. Such a great craftsman!
I hope you can record the museum delivery and placement. I would enjoy seeing that.
The whole sheep wagon series is a must watch!

As usual I sit, watching this all take place, in some degree of awe. Years of experience expressed in fine craftsmanship. Thanks, Dave.
Not many would think about saving those old rivets. This has been an excellent adventure. As always, great video, cheers :)
What a great way to finish off that wagon. Beautifully done. It will be an amazing asset to any museum.
Hi Dave, and Diane, I guess this really was a streak of good luck to find such a fitting undercarriage. Nice job keeping the new look old. You look much better than last week, and I hope you feel as good. Thanks for all the cool stuff that you do. Take care, and we'll see you Friday.
I've watched for years and didn't know his name.

Dave , you are incredible at what ever you do! You Sir are a master craftsman.... G. J. 🤠🌵🌵🌵🇺🇲
Nothing like a lot of love and linseed oil to bring it back to life.
It’s nice to see the completed project, and the work that went into the undercarriage. I hope those who visit the museum, will appreciate the work and effort you put into the preservation of this piece of Montana history. Another job well done!

Thank you, Mr. Dave, for privilege of taking us along for the ride!
Hi Dave n Diane 👋 God bless you and your family 🙏❤️ love to watch your videos 👍👌❤️
Thank you
Hope to see some photo's of the wagon on display inside the museum. This was a longer video than usual which meant extra considerable more editing by Diane. Your team did well. 👍👍👍
Your antiquing process is amazing. Until this video, I assumed the undercarriage had aged naturally. Thanks for sharing.
It's been a real pleasure watching this wagon come together, and it makes me happy knowing that your artwork will be displayed in a museum for others to enjoy.

Hello Dave, Carl Rodgers in France described you as a master craftsman, I couldn’t agree more,I’ve watched you years now and have appreciated every moment, thank you,
Superb craftsmanship and camera work as usual.
This wagon will never need repairs again, because your work is going into a museum and I hope they have a sign giving you Credit for the restoration and repairs on this historical wagon, !👍🏻👍🏻
I am just blown away by that grey patina you're able to get on new wood with that magic vinegar juice. Just beautiful.
I look forward to each of your videos. I stop whatever I am doing and sit down and enjoy the time with you. Thank you for showing us that there are still people who care about real craftsmanship. I noticed early on your attention to such small details such as making sure all the nuts line up after they are tightened.
Such lovely work. Something you don’t see every day.
I keep thinking, "He will never top this video" then the next one comes along. This was utterly fascinating. Thanks.
Dave the part you fabricated about 16 to 18 minutes in was absolutely fascinating to watch you work. I love all your work, that 2 minutes just really stool out for me.
ha recuperado la antigua estufa
Hope you are feeling better today Dave
Thanks for letting us come along!
That was a brilliant repair And restoration you carried out there.
A pleasure to watch 👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Dave and Diane fantastic show!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
Every time I see a video of the sheep wagon, I expect to see some cloth come out to make a "Good Samuel Club" patch for the back of the wagon.😇😄
Ok, today I learned to use your finger as a target when drilling a hole that has to line up on the opposite side. Genius.
It is truly amazing watching you assemble all these different parts many of which you have made with modern equipment but it does make me wonder about how they were designed and made in the first place on the assumption that it was not part of a mass production process.
Lots of parts on this undercarriage ! More parts than I noticed on past videos. This Sheep Wagon will last well over 100 years !
The usual masterclass in every discipline from blacksmithing through upholstery and joinery to colour finishing - quite remarkable. I applaud your skills. Thank you. Bill B - UK.
Love all your work
Although I will never make a 'real' wooden wheel, I did make a reasonable copy of a pair of wheels for a full size cannon I made by watching this channel. Mine looks great, if you don't get too close....or try to move it much.....

😅
Great job. By clocking all the bolt heads and nuts you show a higher level of craftsmanship than the original makers. I would like to get your take on an old set of running gear we have for one of our utility wagons.
Great talent, a whole lot of work.
Great cinematography.
Your videos are always enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.
Your linseed oil and paint mix sure makes a sloppy mess, but the outcome is wonderful. Especially over the "aged" ash. Thanks for the video.
A while back I had to introduce your videos to my wife. I go to our side porch every Tuesday and Friday religiously after I have finished my own humble work on our properties . I was starting to think she thought I had a girlfriend…..
It's always fascinating to watch Dave take new materials and make "100-year-old" replacement parts!
I never tire of watching a Master Craftsman at work, Generations to come was forever be in awe of you Ol Chap. ❤
You are one of the most skilled people I've ever seen, across any discipline, trade, craft or art form. Mind blowing 🔥
Whew! Just watching this video made my back ache! Amazing skill in the old time craft of wagon making. To think of all the wagons and carts that went out of St Joseph, St Louis and Independence, Missouri. The wagon and blacksmith shops must have been running 24/7.
That is a work of many arts
Truly a filming and editing masterpiece. 👍👍
That's some good work. It's a pleasure watching your craft
Always enjoyable.
Hi Diane and Dave, nice to hear you sounding and looking better. It's a lovely undercarriage , The museum will definitely love your extremely hard work project. I DO ALSO.❤
Dave has a patented potion to magically make a brand new tongue match the look of those hundred year old wagon wheels.
Great rest of the story, sorta! ❤we enjoyed every minute.
That filings-and-vinegar solution works wonders: the match is so good!
great work aging that running gear Dave, I never twigged it was rebuilt.
It took me two days, but I finally got it all watched. I enjoy every vid you post but for some reason I’m especially drawn to anything sheep wagon
BTW, after watching your videos I've adopted the farrier rasp to my boat building. It is a great tool for removing and shaping material.
Happy Tuesday Dave and Diane!
Thank you!
Thanks to you Mr. and Ms. Engel !!!!
A little late for what if, but have You ever thought of brushing the new wood with a soft wire brush to help with the weathered appearance? BTW, I tried the metal filing and vinegar solution on my garden door. Looks great 😊. Thanks for the idea!
Your work proves to people old items can still be functional and appealing to the eye.
Carl Rogers gave you a shout out for your channel and compliments for your steam bending process....i guess you already know this
Wow, your videos are always well shot and well edited, but this one was downright artful. Pacing is perfect, everything is well lit - and I love the woods aging and finishing time lapse in particular. I have tried to tell people about your channel with great enthusiasm and people kind of glaze over.

Watching your videos makes me realize how complex these vehicles were/are.
Fastest hammer in the west. Outstanding as always
Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching the process
Hi Dave and Diane ☺, a nice mix of woodwork ,and metal work, to bring this undercarriage back to life, watching you take things apart, and repair,rebuild them is just fascinating, you are a true craftsman Dave. Hope you've got over your summer cold, look after yourselves, best wishe's to you and Diane, Stuart and Megan UK.
I really enjoy watching your work. I envy your talents.
Artwork like that deserves to be in a museum. If it doesn't end up there, I'm sure Indiana Jones will make sure it is.
I literally heard the old wood soak the linseed oil across the ocean. My admiration goes to all those anonymous people who throughout the ages brought that undercarriage to perfection. One feels that Dave shares that admiration.

Wow Dave. You make even new wood to look old but it still looks great. Always amazed.
That red color really does wonders. Wood or metal. So much progress in this video. Really getting complete now.
Gorgeous rig.
What a Man !! What extrordinary skill !!! I am SO, SO impressed.
It is amazing to watch your skills but is also amazing to watch all of the engineering that has evolved over the years to harness the power of a horse.
Some of that wood was like paintin' a sponge... as always some neat little tricks of the trade, not so obvious until we see 'em.
Always nice to watch someone who knows how to upset a rivet.
Once again - the master of changing the old partially broken history into elegant quaint memories. Quite an accomplished magician. Complete with most of the hows & whys.

True craftsmanship Rebuild/restoration succes. Respect Marc from Belgium
Lots of work
It's fascinating to watch you replicate and match the old iron work on the wagons. Thanks for showing us how you work.
Once again, you have proven yourself to be a master in your trade.
Awesome non asbestos brake shoes
When I watch a movie, it is typically an old Western. Naturally there are a lot of wagons, carts, and coaches in them thar movies.
Having watched Engles Coach Shop for many years, I find a new appreciation for the things made in that era. I find it fascinating. I'll pause a movie just so I can better view the wagons and so on.
Watching *your* paint dry is never boring.
I must have missed just how much work you did to restore that undercarriage for this project. Thanks for including this video. I enjoy your projects and channel immensley.
Love Dave's synopsis method. This is a great rerun. Thanks fer the video
Great recap video. God Bless you and Mrs. Engels.
That sheep wagon was a great project. That museum will have a beautiful exhibit for the public. I'll have to add that stop when coming to Montana.
Thanks for bringing us along...
That paint flavored linseed oil looks really authentic.
This is a great, very informative video.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Engels.
You ate a talented man. You just get on with it, no messing around.
Back to the finish line and preserved for History. Thanks Dave for taking us on this journey with you. That was a fine ride , stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.

You are one of the most engaging personalities on UA-cam. You have a rare gift for making every episode fascinating.
I was a bit sad that the sheepwagon projekt ended, and then you came with this part to. Thank you for sharing it with us.
