You are so considerate of us, Dave, your audience and subscribers. Just the camera angles, the closeup shots and the general flow of these videos keep me watching every detail...volume on low mostly when hammering...until you start talking again then up it comes. Background music is perfect. Thanks for all this volume of work and the time you invest in it.
There's some guy out there restoring a 1909 steam driven beer hauler, that's looking for a set of wheels for his truck , screaming "Those are the wheels I need and you're putting those on a Sheep wagon ? " Lol.
Watching Dave's string theory would drive an engineer insane. He'd have protactors, rulers, calculator, etc. & still couldn't figure it out. 4 Years of university versus 40 years of adversity? My money's on Dave.
any good engineer with acess to the prototype would use the same technique to determinate the knuckle position, if he only has planrs, he only need to know the relative distances of each pivot point in the forded and unfolded position and he will figure it out with a protractor and a ruler
That chandelier just needs a quick release mount and BOOM! No more door-to-door salesmen. Wonder if those super-duty wheels might have come off a tanker fire truck. Look like they're designed not only for carrying massive weight, but also to handle cobblestone streets. Lot of hard use in 'em. That buggy top sure is complicated. Very interesting to watch it being puzzled together.
Always look forward to your new videos. I will probably never work on a buggy or wagon wheels, but as a part of the older generation, I am always looking to learn something new and I learn something every video. In a way we are similar (I keep old equipment running that they don't make any more or have parts for) because we both work on and fix stuff that most of the time hasn't had a part made for it in our live times. Here's to good health to us all, you so you can make more videos and to me to get to watch them. 👍👍👍👍👍
Watching a master craftsman at work bring back 1945 visits to Ralph Snyder blacksmith shop in Red Lion Pa with my Dad. I can smell of fresh sawn oak, the coal burning in the hearth, cutting oil from his threading dies! Thanks
The method for finding where to put that knuckle is extremely clever. They don’t teach that in engineering school. I appreciate something that’s elegantly simple.
last video you comment about us your viewers. I been doing woodworking for over 40 years. 21 of those I was in the military (US Army) and didn't do to much. I retired 10 years ago and I have been doing some stuff. Built some cabinets in our converted garage and made a rotating shoe rack for my wife. I watch your channel because is very relaxing and your craftsmanship is way above most of the "wood workers" in UA-cam land. Keep inspiring the rest of us, dave!!!
I'd really like to see the vehicle they came from. Off to image search! Edit: Nope, no luck, using two different search engines. Neither truck nor tractor brought up any wheels like those. Sometimes close, but tires were larger diameter than the wheel, fewer side bolts, and didn't appear to have irons on both sides of the fellows. (felloes?)
@@phillipsofthedriver for the tyres, keep in mind those wheels seems to have been used 'till they ran on the rims so the tyre thickness is of no indication (that and they rotten to hell) the flanged brake drums (?) on what i suppose were the rear wheels would indicate a chain drive type and the number of bolts to me would mean a heavy duty truck it still only reduces the scope to most heavy trucks built between 1900 and 1930
Thanks Dave for sharing with us the hanging of the chandelier, that took some work. Really enjoyed the work on the buggy roof , you’re doing an amazing job with those roofs. Fred. 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Just love me a Friday!! The views of the Montana horizon and all makes me Big Sky homesick. (I was born in Libby, about 500 miles away in the NW corner of Montana) Love the craftsmanship and the skills displayed in your fabrications.
Good morning, like always I enjoy watching your videos, I just wish they were longer. I would watch a half hour video no problem, and I would guess most of your followers would not mind if it as well. Well like always Thanks for sharing your day to day life, peace and love Joe from N/J
I agree. Allthough i can not help but think that it does not get nearly the appreciation it deserves, in that location. I was hoping for it to go inside a house at some massive dining table or in a western styled restaurant or something like that. And not just in the roof of some guys covered driveway.
I saw those old fluorescent light bulbs by your steam heater. We switch the 4' fluorescent bulbs to LED all the time. They're very bright and don't take a ballast. You take all the red and blue wires and wire nut them to the black wire; then you take the yellow wires and wire nut them to the white wire. I've yet to do any 8' though.
The new LED tubes, you just plug in and don't mess with the wires. Sure are a lot nicer in the barn ...when it's cold the damn fluorescents won't come on.
@@austinwagoncompany Had enough of a balancing act just replacing the tubes in my barn (they must have used a ladder truck to hang the lights -- there's old fire dept. ladders hanging up there too!!) and the LED tubes work fine even at -30 degrees, and all I did was replace the tube. The one old fluorescent that's left (cuz we couldn't reach it) quits as soon as it gets below freezing.
@@Reziac yeah they do work great but the point I was trying to make is that while they have ones that just plug in, when the ballast goes out (and it will) you'll have to buy a ballast to make them work again. May as well save time and money to get the ones that work straight off of power. Sounds like a scissor lift would be handy to have at your shop.
@@austinwagoncompany Heh, if I ever needed to reach something else way up in the roof... when/if the ballasts fail (I remember when that was more of a problem than the tubes failing), I'll hang LED shop lights (already have 'em) in some saner location, such as where I can reach it without hiring King Kong.
Them sure are some interesting wheels that you worked on. I've been to a lot of antique museums, as well as steam shows. I've never seen a set of wheels like those before. The fact that you said you'd never seen a set like them tells me they are indeed a rare breed!
Chandelier "Brace yourself Rodney". Those heavy truck wheels look like a nightmare to work on. Lots of great stuff in this video Dave. Loved it as I always do. Stay Safe.
Thanks for all your great videos Dave I especially enjoy many of your creative solutions to getting the job done. As I have been using impact wrenches for quite some time, I highly recommend that you get a set of impact sockets. It is hard to believe the difference that they make. Might save you from having to use the torch, especially in places where a torch is not practical. I am still looking for a source for the magic screws that drive themselves in that you used in some previous videos. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Mishn0 i see two wheels with what i can only identify a brake drums, the drums have flange with holes so i would bet on a chain drive, AWD trucks of the time used live axles
Those old truck wheels are amazing. We sometimes forget that vehicles evolved from wagons, so thanks for the reminder. Can't wait to see more in these. Regards, Solomon
I worked at McDonalds in high school. Around this time of year we sent a kid to the back for a can of steam for the Filet O Fish buns. He comes back up and says we must be out, I don’t see any!!😂
Nice to see some Super Heavy Duty Wheels dating back in the era. Amazing how much road debris they soaked up and the rust that built up. Likely lost a good 5 lbs of weight once cleaned up !
Enjoyed the video Mr. Engel. Those are some rusty wheels. That video hanging the wheel chandelier was something. Thanks for sharing that. Y'all take care and God bless.
The truck wheels are very interesting. It has to be the transition from wagon wheels to the first automotive wheel. Hmmmmm....... that wagon wheel chandelier seems to be hung a little too high to take in the full beauty of your craftsmanship.
thinking after we saw your work getting hung up , who would be doing this type of work after you ? Thinking Its going to be a lost Art. You are 1of a Kind Sir.. Thank you.
Fantastic to be watching that beautiful buggy coming together but as an aside, please do be careful with those chrome vanadium sockets on impact tools, they can explode. Use proper impact sockets, they're not expensive. Geez, those truck wheels would have to be a hundred years old, I hope we get to see the truck they belong to.
By their look, I suspect that they might of been part of a Canon or Gun Carriage at one time and remind of some WW1 Canons that had wooden spoke wheels in a overlook dedicated to Veterans near Boulder Colorado. The Canons were surrounded by some stone work and parking places and I remember visiting them as a boy and recollect that it's wheels had finally collapsed and they were taken away some time later. They are likely from around that era and however they started out were made for paved roads and many early cars had wooden spokes including I believe the first to drive across US well over a century ago named Vermont by Dr Horatio Nelson Jackson. Kudos on how the hung up Dave's Borax Wheel and how they'll light it will hopefully be in a future video since changing its light bulbs that will take a bit of nerve as well as a tall ladder to do both..
Those truck wheels look like they are from a Brockway Straight Truck 1930 something, my Grandpa had one, that we pulled up in the woods, probably still there today .
You are definitely a master at your trade. I not only found this video very entertaining but a wonderful learning experience as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I just had a thought at 4:15. Could you insert some kind of spring washers inside your impact socket to help push the nuts out when you tap them. About ten pounds of force would be helpful without getting in the way, and it would speed up the process. I can't tell you how many times I've had to drift a nut out of a socket from the back side, and it's always aggravating. Another great video, Dave!
Nice seeing the wagon taking shape and Wondered if we would ever get to see the chandelier again did not expect to see it being hung after all this time but very nice. The old steel/wood wheels look something like they are from an old beer/delivery or military vehicle as they were built for a lot of weight take care
I have never seen wheels like them before what a work of art they are truly beautiful and the work in them superb I just can't wait to see the refurbished product great video thanks for sharing. Cheers stay well.
Judging by the construction style, and overall condition, those wheels have probably been out in the weather for 100 years! I'm surprised they didn't fight you even more.
David, that was an intense video , those truck wheels would have had me scratching my head, you have such confidence in your ability that you knew exactly what needed to be done! Rust and all! That 1000 lb wheel looked great! Thanks for sharing, Tom in CERES, CA
I say there were some not for prime time viewing in the filming of this one. I really would love to see the reconstruction of those wheels. They look wild. Thanks for sharing
Tried to get a good pic, Autocar is the oldest truck company, still producing, these wheels are easily over 110 years old, the tires were a lot thicker at one time. Jay Leno would probably pay a LOT for them.
Thanks, Never heard of Autocar but turns out they invented trucks in the U.S. The link is www.autocartruck.com/history/. Looks like the 1907 model. Really interesting.
@@sparky3156 we actually have an assembly plant here in Birmingham along with Isuzu cabover trucks. Still trying to find a good pic of pre WW 1 truck wheels, the closest I can find is a 1918 GM, about half the number of bolts and the tires look different. That's the reason I'm thinking Autocar.
Thanks for sharing! I'm not sure since it's about 25 years ago but those truck wheels looks like the kind that were on MAC truck during WW I. I saw them at the museum at Ft. Leavenworth, KS.
Well isn't that kind of his job. Selling labor for money ? If the costumer is willing to pay for the hours needed, this job should be any more or less good than any other job.
Another fascinating session with you. Those truck wheels, never seen the likes of them. What a big project. I watched you build the chandelier wheels and pack them for shipping. Needless to say, you and your craftsmanship are the absolute best. Take care...see you next Friday.
With stubborn nuts like that, I found one way is to either not back it off the whole way and use the thread to pull it out of the socket or, turn it back on a thread or two and pull it free. Then the nur is loose enough to remove by hand.
You are so considerate of us, Dave, your audience and subscribers. Just the camera angles, the closeup shots and the general flow of these videos keep me watching every detail...volume on low mostly when hammering...until you start talking again then up it comes. Background music is perfect. Thanks for all this volume of work and the time you invest in it.
I agree he (Dave) is the best UA-camr I've ever watched!
You're 100% right. He's so meticulous, he pays attention to details that most of us haven't even noticed until they're pointed out. Amazing.
@@PatrickKQ4HBD You are so right he is a mater craftsman for sure!
@Billy Zahir SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAMITY SPAM!
Dave, the look on your face when the two top bows dropped down in the front of the buggy.
That look was priceless.
But his lips didn't even quiver!
No cursing either.

Oh, what a great job to build these wheels in the past and also today. Nice, to see
Hope to see more of the work on those Auto truck wheels, your video's make Fridays all the more interesting and something I look forward to.

About 9 minutes in he’s re-evaluating his life choices....but who can resist a good restoration 🙂 love the videos!
Wow those old truck wheels are something else, I don't think my local tire-pros would take this on.
Going to be interesting what Dave uses for tread and how it is installed.
These wheels look like the ones my grandpa had on his hay wagon back in the 50's.
من مصر نحييكم 😊👍🇪🇬💐 عمل رائع جدا
The top on that buggy has a lot of little details that must be perfect. Neat to see how it is coming together.
Your videos are so informative and relaxing to watch. You make us feel like we are there with you and are teaching us all 1 on 1.
I am absolutely amazed at your "shop". This is no ordinary shop. It is in itself a museum. Glad I stumbled upon this extremely interesting channel.
Best thing about Fridays. Thanks For sharing as ever Dave
I was recently wondering what ever happened with the chandelier wheel. Thanks for sharing the pics with us.

Those truck wheels are pretty cool .They seem to be about mid point in the evolution between wagon wheels and old style split wheels.

Oh I found it. I left it in your truck bed next to the rotor wash, blinker fluid and tire air freshener.
Mine is still looking for the pipe stretcher :D
Left handed pipe wrenches are in short supply too.
Looking at the grooves in those old truck tires, it looks like our forebears also had to deal with DOT regulations!
