Dave, Amazing greatness !! Wonderful progress my friend!! You make it all look like poetry in motion!! Such a talent you have been given!! So much respect to you sir!! I love you gift!!
I don't know ........ I still kinda see a pile of firewood ......lol I'm amazed at your ability to make sense out of something like this old sheep wagon.
Thanks Dave I always enjoy this part of the process! The investigative,history part! Of course I like all the woodwork and blacksmithing as well! Start with a pile of rubble and end with a working piece of art! Honestly I enjoy ALL that you do, from shop work to the after work projects! As always, thanks Dave for sharing your journey with us!
G'day Dave, greetings from down under. The idear that your client wants to save this old wagon warmes my old heart. With your brilliant skill and understanding I'm sure this is going to turn into yet an otherwise heap of firewood into a sweet wagon. Thank you.
Lookin' rough, but it's more organized. This is going to be very interesting. My great-grandma rode in such a covered wagen way back in the day. East coast and wound up in N.Dakota. Her fam is now all over, but I grew up in California. Lovely to see such a piece of history restored.
I am impressed how you took that skid load of splinters and kindling we saw last time and transformed the pieces back into a ghost of a wagon. Thanks for translating what the sheep wagon was telling about its younger days.
Fascinating. So rare to see a true restoration of something so humble yet so powerful a piece of history, especially for our forefathers; and I'm a mix of English French and Irish, the sort of blood that helped bring your nation to greatness and hopefully do something to bring back past glory.
Amazing, just like the mud wagon, when you know what you are looking for you can see what the rest of us cant. Thanks for taking so much time to explain this. Charles
I started watching with the Borax series. Since then, many different wagons, buggies, and sleighs have graced your shop. Its all great content. You could blacksmith horse shoes for chickens and I would still enjoy watching.
Truly informative , your years of experience tell a lot when you closely observe these wagons, I am glad you are creating this wagon library for generations to enjoy. Thank you, Dave and Diane.
Good stuff, Dave. Always interesting. BTW, if you start charging the owners of the mud wagon for storing it, that might speed up the decision making. 🙂
I wonder how much money Dave gets in advance? Also, my thought is that some of these customer projects have more sentimental value to the owner than they have actual real dollar value on the open market.
When I was a kid working the local ranches one place had a sheep wagon parked off to the side of the yard. After spending a night or two in the bunkhouse with the hobo's and wino's I decided to move into that wagon, after a little sweep out and some straightening up, I moved in. Worked that place a couple of years and my little room was a very pleasant place to stay.
I had no fears on the Mud wagon, I've watched you long enough now Dave to know you do not leap into anything haphazardly, and with out just do intentions. in short you look before you leap. Well done!. I'm looking forward to this sheep wagon another Sherlock Holmes venture, to figure out and deduce as we go along love it!. "The Game is afoot" thanks for sharing. ECF
It's amazing to see somebody who has that much energy and stamina continually start new projects. The skills utilized in your shop make you a renaissance man. I doubt many younger people could begin to match your work pace let alone you multi skill and knowledge levels.
Always an education. This should be an interesting project. I truly appreciate the insight you bring to all the work you do, taking the time to film and explain the process.
Model A wheels were really popular on these Sheep herders wagons. I remember them up in Cody out is what in now the Bridger Wilderness area back in the 1960's.
Dave. My respect to you Sr, Trank you for edúcate US in the Wagons Art. You are a Real truper artist & Master. Gold bless you And your Family, Gold jod. Salud.
Never lacking in projects to do around there for sure. We enjoy what ever you are working on Dave. It is fun watching you figure out where the pieces fit together and how the builder may have came up with the design. Thanks for taking us along for the ride and the fantastic things you build and or repair along the way. Stay safe and be ready for winter. Fred.
I don't believe it would help to store anyone if it. The parts laying about helps to be able to mentally put it all together...the natural of the wonderfulness!!
A local veggie stand is a horse drawn grain box set on a Model T frame and axles. Conversion kits were available to add tongue and steering after removing the body, motor and transmission for a 4 wheeled wagon. Home builts copied those features. I have record of 57 differing conversions off of eBay. However sometime the 4 wheel wagon running gear if ever present was replaced with the Model T or TT axle, wishbone, later spoked rims to become a 2 wheeled cart/trailer. This South Central Pennsylvanian living near the Studebaker wagon producing blacksmith shop hears it's remains to become yard art as a 2 wheeled sheep's trailer with either Ford wood or metal spoked wheels.
Hello, A shepherd's wagon from the Franche-Comté region of France is on display in a museum in my region. As it was intended to move from field to field after the cereal harvest in order to provide natural manure, the journeys were not very long, which no doubt explains the small wheels and the drawbar stump. It is summarily equipped with a bed and a wood-burning stove... I have a few photos, but I don't know how to send them to you...
That’s an axel from a 26 or 27 Model T, with later wire wheels on it . Wires were an option in 26-27. Those hubs are hard to find, not rare but maybe $50 to the right buyer.
Hopefully the owner of the mudwagon is up to date on payment for work to date. I agree with a prior comment that a few storage invoices might light a fire under him/her. Looking forward to watching the magic you do with the sheepwagon! Have a great holiday season to you, Diane and family!!
Looking forward this next project of yours, and I think you should reach out to the mud wagon owner and ask when you can expect a decision or if there should be a discussion about storage fees - at the end of the day, the coach shop is a business, is it not? :) I'd imagine space is always at a premium there with how much space you need especially when you have two projects side by side...
When you mentioned unfinished projects, I too was wondering what happened to the Piedmont Wagon? That was quite a few years ago you were working full steam on that one and then it stopped. I live just a few miles from Hickory NC where it was built.
I had two thoughts while watching - you looked like a giant bird flapping its wings when raising the wagon and second, you continue to amaze me with your knowledge. Thank you.
Coincidentally, another great UA-cam channel that I follow called Bradshaw Joinery, based in England, is also presently working on a sheep wagon, or shepherd’s hut. You might want to take a look, the standard of carpentry that guy delivers is top-class.
It's fun to watch you get into the mind of the guy who built that. We're excited to follow along with this build, my wife has been trying to talk me into a sheep wagon (and the sheep!) for quite some time now.
Dave, you’ve sold me on getting one of those battery powered chain saws! Problem is I only have one tree in my yard. With that thing I’d have that old tree looking like a sapling in no time. I think my neighbors with a few trees in their yards would be afraid to make eye contact with me! I’d certainly be offering unsolicited free tree services to them! On second thought it might be quite a dangerous thing if I owned one of those things! Thanks for another great video!
Likely a 16" Kelsey Hayes spoked wheel. The Triangular part of the axle (Radius Rods) fastened below the back of the engine. 32 Ford would have been a V8. Hydraulic Brakes came in the later 40's. I think you should consider Selling the Hotel. Lighten your Load.
Bless you, Dave. Your videos are always so uplifting and enjoyable. I deeply appreciate your humility and gentleness with people as with rusted nuts. I got behind in my viewing so I’ve only just caught up with this video.
I like these jig saw puzzle wagons even if all the pieces aren't present or accounted for,I am so looking forward to its reconstruction thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎
I have been a craftsman my whole life with many disciplines of interest. Your videos always impress me. I know of few others anywhere that are as well rounded in every area like yourself. Jimmy Diresta is another amazing craftsman with some differences than you of course. Have you ever thought of doing a collaboration? You & Diresta would be epic!
Sounds like that wagon is for taking the flock on the long paddock which was the Australian term for walking flocks, either to market or simply to supplement feed when things get dry.
Enjoy listening to you translate what the wagon says to you. If the axel and Ford wheels was in Alabama we'd call that a Hover Cart. There could be two reasons to build one. First the wagon wheels gave out or were damaged and the Ford wheels and axel were available. Second if a decision was made to pull the sheep wagon with a pickup truck the Ford wheels would obviously work better especially on a road. Anyway looks like an interesting restoration with turns and twist depending on what you hear from the wagon. It will be both and education and entertainment for me.
Hope you made time for Thanksgiving, yourself and family. I for one know what it is like to have many irons in the fire, and you deserve kudos and few; if any, questions! Thanks!
Interesting story the sheep wagon is telling you about it self. Going to be an interesting restoration/refurbishing to watch. Thanks for the update sir.
holaaaa, sigo tus videos , maravilloso, el 1800 lo traes al presente, para cuando la diligencia ???,...no te vayas sin construirla,..espero ansioso ese video, ..me dejas una hermosa escuela, abrazos desde Argentina
Dave, you may have already seen it, but there is a colourised photo of some wheels about 10 ft tall at minute 6:30 in the UA-cam vid '1860s USA - Real Photos of Civil War America - Colorized'. Many thanks for your own videos.
@@cyrilhudak4568 I have never watched that show. I am Romany and have always heard that it portrays us as violent criminals. My understanding is that they portray "Black Patch" and "New Forest" Gypsies. Those are my relatives. My understanding of the Vardo doesn't come from TV.
Thanks for the project status’. The 1933 Ford wire wheels must be worth something after sandblasting. The sheep wagon doesn’t look like it can be refurbished.
I hope a copy of your video library will go to the Library of Congress in Washington DC. It's really a national treasure.
I, for one, am very happy to see another sheep wagon in your shop. I eont miss a video.
Very good Dave.
Dave, Amazing greatness !! Wonderful progress my friend!! You make it all look like poetry in motion!! Such a talent you have been given!! So much respect to you sir!! I love you gift!!
Those are the same type of wheels we had on our trash trailer to haul to the dump in the late 50's, 60's.
I don't know ........ I still kinda see a pile of firewood ......lol
I'm amazed at your ability to make sense out of something like this old sheep wagon.

I love your reasoning of how the wagon would have looked in its early years, and why it would have looked that way.
G'day Dave, greetings from down under.
The idear that your client wants to save this old wagon warmes my old heart.
With your brilliant skill and understanding I'm sure this is going to turn into yet an otherwise heap of firewood into a sweet wagon.

Bringing history back.
Amazing.

I think it’s amazing the amount of information you can glean from a pile of an old timber decade wagon . 😮😊
I just love it how considerate you are of your audience, Dave. You're really all pro, all the time.
.............G'day Lew,
an "OLD-SCHOOL" Gentleman for sure! He reminds me of my Grandfather, and I am 81+yo.
Cheers and kind regards,
Malcolm.
I really like watching you doing all the running detective work, the education you give along the way . Keep up the great work
😮
Dave, a good craftsman is always going to be a busy craftsman. You're just proving that adage.
Always glad to follow. I learn some.
Ford wheels - 1930-31 19”, 1932 18”, 1933-34 17”, 1935-36 16” Read the size off the tire and you will know.
Good info.I will take note of that and try to remember.
Fascinating. So rare to see a true restoration of something so humble yet so powerful a piece of history, especially for our forefathers; and I'm a mix of English French and Irish, the sort of blood that helped bring your nation to greatness and hopefully do something to bring back past glory.

Reckon I saw an old chook flapping it's wings at 1:17
I think I came here at the same time……love this channel 👍🏻😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Truly informative , your years of experience tell a lot when you closely observe these wagons, I am glad you are creating this wagon library for generations to enjoy. Thank you, Dave and Diane.
If I was 20 years younger I'd be a student of yours. Found your channel at the beginning of the 10 ft wheels.
Another amazing series this will be. Thanks Dave and Diane for all the entertaining content.
Good stuff, Dave. Always interesting. BTW, if you start charging the owners of the mud wagon for storing it, that might speed up the decision making. 🙂
... or you may end up owning it!
I wonder how much money Dave gets in advance? Also, my thought is that some of these customer projects have more sentimental value to the owner than they have actual real dollar value on the open market.

Dave you have mastered the field of Wainwright Forensics!! Looking forward to this!!!
Glad to get the update on the other projects of note. Looking forward to the final reveal on that Mud Wagon
The 'sheep wagon' looks like a converted 'International' grain wagon.
This is true restoration archaeology
@1:38 Badger, Badger, Badger,
I like the detective work you do ;)
Thank you for the update and a new project to enjoy and learn your thought process during constructions.

Good work bud! I believe you are right, glad to see a ford guy on here😀 wheels look like 18s to me which would make them 1932s I think 🤔
Hopefully the owner of the mudwagon is up to date on payment for work to date.
I agree with a prior comment that a few storage invoices might light a fire under him/her.
Looking forward to watching the magic you do with the sheepwagon!

fantastic,love the way it talks to you,in the same way vintage engines and machines talk to me,cant wait for more its like a drug thanks so much ❤
Astonishing to see what looked like a random pile of rotten boards actually starting to resemble a sheep wagon. Gosh!

Yes, we had Thanksgiving with Dave's family.
Always a pleasure to watch you work!!

Looks like another fascinating project!
I enjoy your content an appreciated giving the update on the projects. Look forward to the next one!
I hope you've thought about storage fees. It takes up a lot of room, that could be used for other work.
Whatever you do is always interesting and educational for me.
Evening Dave and Diane can you please tell me what a Sheep wagon is and how does I'd differ from other wagons? Regards Richard 🇬🇧
I can answer that one. A sheep wagon was living quarters for transient shepherds. It was based on the Romany Vardos of Britain.
Just go on Google and type in sheep wagon and select images. It'll bring up a lot of pictures and they all look pretty much alike kinda.
@@martindonald7613 As portrayed in the TV show "Peaky 'Blinders"
@@cyrilhudak4568 I have never watched that show. I am Romany and have always heard that it portrays us as violent criminals. My understanding is that they portray "Black Patch" and "New Forest" Gypsies. Those are my relatives. My understanding of the Vardo doesn't come from TV.
Great video,love how you decipher the history of this wagon.very interesting.just keep doing what your doing.👍👍👍😎😎😎
thanks for all the updates
ALWAYS interesting! Thanks, Dave.
In awe as always Dave.
Thanks Dave
Look like another great job
Good luck Dave.
Great video,you used what you had back in the day,always enjoy following along, thanks for bringing us along
That looks like quite a project
Thanks for sharing you have your work cut out for you
Had a vision of you rowing a boat while fighting with those come-alongs!
There’s no disadvantage in storage, good money for little work, and it makes others think a little bit faster.
What you do is simply amazing!
