I didnt catch the beginning of this project so I assumed this was the original chassis - it looks GREAT - and great video! The whole thing turned out really nice
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 😅.
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. 👍👍👍
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.
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,
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.
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!
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, !👍🏻👍🏻
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.....
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.❤
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
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.
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.
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.
Great job making it look old. Which brings up the question. The bright white new canvas top. Should that be aged using charcoal and other stuff to make it look a bit worn also? Maybe a few minor tears and holes here an there.
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 ...........
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...
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.
Gosto muito de ver os seus vídeos,embora você tão distante aqui do Brasil mas hoje podemos compartilhar tantos trabalhos,tantas histórias da nossa vida no passado e presente que os seus vídeos por sinal perfeição nos seus trabalhos de fabricação ou restauração me faz lembrar do meu Avô que era especialista em fábricar carros de bois,carroções e e outros obras em madeira e que hoje tenho todas as ferramentas que Ele usava.Grato por me relembrar tanta história vivida junto Dele. 🙏🙏👏👏👏
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 look to have more energy hope your fully back to normal health. Really nice to see the undercarriage work . Thanks to you and Diane for all the work you put into making these videos for us but as importantly for future generations.

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.😇😄
Lots of parts on this undercarriage ! More parts than I noticed on past videos. This Sheep Wagon will last well over 100 years !
I hope you can record the museum delivery and placement. I would enjoy seeing that.
I didnt catch the beginning of this project so I assumed this was the original chassis - it looks GREAT - and great video! The whole thing turned out really nice

Dave , you are incredible at what ever you do! You Sir are a master craftsman.... G. J. 🤠🌵🌵🌵🇺🇲
I can watch this man make anything. Such a great craftsman!
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.
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.
Looks like Diane made you give back her good Pyrex measuring cup you swiped from her kitchen!
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,
Great job on the restoration/rebuild of that Sheep Wagon, it looks great. Thank you for sharing your build with us.
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.
I am just blown away by that grey patina you're able to get on new wood with that magic vinegar juice. Just beautiful.
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!
What a great way to finish off that wagon. Beautifully done. It will be an amazing asset to any museum.
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, !👍🏻👍🏻

That was a brilliant repair And restoration you carried out there.
A pleasure to 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 :)
The whole sheep wagon series is a must watch!
True craftsmanship Rebuild/restoration succes. Respect Marc from Belgium

I've watched for years and didn't know his name.
@@garykolo8650 😃😃
Superb craftsmanship and camera work as usual.
Nothing like a lot of love and linseed oil to bring it back to life.

Thank you, Mr. Dave, for privilege of taking us along for the ride!
You are one of the most skilled people I've ever seen, across any discipline, trade, craft or art form. Mind blowing 🔥
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.

I have really enjoyed watching this wagon build! Looks great!
Such lovely work. Something you don’t see every day.
Hi Dave n Diane 👋 God bless you and your family 🙏❤️ love to watch your videos 👍👌❤️
Thank you
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 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.
😅
That red color really does wonders. Wood or metal. So much progress in this video. Really getting complete now.
Gorgeous rig.
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.❤
Carl Rogers gave you a shout out for your channel and compliments for your steam bending process....i guess you already know this
Great talent, a whole lot of work.
Great cinematography.
Your videos are always enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.
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
Fantastic job a pleasure to watch you work
great work aging that running gear Dave, I never twigged it was rebuilt.
Great rest of the story, sorta! ❤we enjoyed every minute.

Ha… metal tabs holding it together! Just like on old stamped metal toys!
How can watching a man work so hard make me feel relaxed!
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.
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.
Once again, you have proven yourself to be a master in your trade.
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.
I keep thinking, "He will never top this video" then the next one comes along. This was utterly fascinating. Thanks.
Fastest hammer in the west. Outstanding as always
Your antiquing process is amazing. Until this video, I assumed the undercarriage had aged naturally. Thanks for sharing.
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.
That filings-and-vinegar solution works wonders: the match is so good!
I never tire of watching a Master Craftsman at work, Generations to come was forever be in awe of you Ol Chap. ❤
Fantastic work as always.
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.
That's some good work. It's a pleasure watching your craft
Thanks for letting us come along!
Masterful work in front of and behind the camera. Thank you.
Great job making it look old. Which brings up the question. The bright white new canvas top. Should that be aged using charcoal and other stuff to make it look a bit worn also? Maybe a few minor tears and holes here an there.
They only lasted 5 or 6 years, so it wouldn't be unusual to see an old wagon with a new top.
Watching your videos makes me realize how complex these vehicles were/are.
As always Dave, you are a genius. Always a real pleasure to watch you decipher the pieces and then reproduce them perfectly!! Truly amazing.
I look at the hours of work put into these wonderful wheels and vehicles and hope people pay appropriately.
Love all your work
This is a most fascinating video. Thanks for sharing it.

Awesome work! Awesome video! Well done, really enjoyed all the different aspects of the work.
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...
Always nice to watch someone who knows how to upset a rivet.
Dave you are a master at rebuilding the past. Thankyou for taking us along.
This is a great, very informative video.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Engels.
Your work proves to people old items can still be functional and appealing to the eye.
Hope you are feeling better today Dave
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.
Gosto muito de ver os seus vídeos,embora você tão distante aqui do Brasil mas hoje podemos compartilhar tantos trabalhos,tantas histórias da nossa vida no passado e presente que os seus vídeos por sinal perfeição nos seus trabalhos de fabricação ou restauração me faz lembrar do meu Avô que era especialista em fábricar carros de bois,carroções e e outros obras em madeira e que hoje tenho todas as ferramentas que Ele usava.Grato por me relembrar tanta história vivida junto Dele. 🙏🙏👏👏👏
I always learn something new watching your videos. You never cease to amaze me with your knowledge.
It's fascinating to watch you replicate and match the old iron work on the wagons. Thanks for showing us how you work.
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.
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.
What a Man !! What extrordinary skill !!! I am SO, SO impressed.
I really enjoy watching your work. I envy your talents.
Thanks for the update, enjoyed watching the process
This man is the master of joinery.
Thanks to you Mr. and Ms. Engel !!!!
Dave has a patented potion to magically make a brand new tongue match the look of those hundred year old wagon wheels.
You look to have more energy hope your fully back to normal health. Really nice to see the undercarriage work . Thanks to you and Diane for all the work you put into making these videos for us but as importantly for future generations.
