A mere mortal 'Smith might well have bolted that rack together and figured the slop in the joints would settle in and eliminate the wobble, but Dave showed us how to create a rack that will probably outlive that woodstove! As always Dave: thanks for allowing us along on your journey. Wishing you, Diane and your family a happy holiday season and a very Merry Christmas!
8:40 Dave says he will measure "Roughly." His measurements are always precise with excellent alignment, which is why so many of us enjoy watching him do the job right.
I hope you sell a lot of these. I love useful stuff from junk. If I lived near you I would order two. One for the house burner and the other for the barbecue.
I'm in my late 70s. When my father-in-law was a little kid, he said one of the games they played was "click and wheel." They'd find an old wagon tire and see how far they could roll it.
True waste not want not as blacksmiths have done down the centuries. What do I need vs what do I have to hand and a sprinkle of art and genius in between. Excellent!
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz yup there's my problem too... I'm great at design and build then I loose interest in just turning out widgets.. I appreciate one offs,, unique.. Like all the instruments I have made for film.
Thats a great project made from scrap. My Dad had a saw horse made by the local blacksmith from old cart wagon tyres, when we moved we left it at the old house.
I saw where the tire was set in the ground on spikes and in the circle they hang those plasma cuttings of horses buffalo heads elk and family signs with adresses. Nice work!
I like the fact that you riveted them instead of bolts..it gives it that old time look i like so much with iron stuff for this application. beautiful...
Those are the best heaters, air tight. Amazing. What wouldn't go better than a nice wrought iron firwood holder made from AGED iron with much history in their blood.
Thanks for another installment of your video series, Dave! Every week when I watch your videos my wife thinks I'm watching King of the Hill and that you sound like Hank Hill. 🤣
After WWII Moore’s Blacksmith Shop, at the corner of Oak and Jackson, Red Bluff, CA, since 1910 and currently owned by the fifth generation, had wagon tire bar stock they would never use. I have a housewright or carpenter’s slick made from some of that wagon tire stock that has a beautiful socket, a great example of blacksmith’s art. Unfortunately, without a high carbon edge it’s not a great slick, but I appreciate the skill and knowing it’s history.
Merry Christmas my friend... Now there is a thing that Works...If I had a wood stove, or a cabin to go with that...Then I would ask you to make me one also. My very best for you and yours. Jim
Boy, this makes me realize a bunch of the material I scavenged off a old home built round bale feeder might not be leaf springs, but chunks of wagon wheel tires. Going to have to look closer. Probably saved me some frustration wondering why it wouldn’t harden like leaf spring later!
Hi Dave and Diane ☺, what a neat idea, and it looks great sat beside the stove, it'll probably outlast anything you could have bought too. Thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and Diane, Stuart UK.
You should make a custom stamp. A stylized "D.E." or maybe "Engel" that you could stamp into metal projects like that. Somewhere inconspicuous, but so your master craftsmanship will be verifiable long after you have swung your last hammer. You could heat up the stamp and use it to burn the same mark into wood projects too! Just a thought!
From old wagon consumable to a functional work of art that will last for generations. Beautiful! Merry Christmas Dave and Dianne to you and yours. Thank you for another year of edutainment.
Although I love watching Dave's smithing skills, those of you suggesting he turn the rest of the tires into similar wood racks to sell, have not worked in manufacturing. What we just watched was probably AT LEAST 4 hours labor. Firewood racks go for $99 to around $300 for something more substantial. Difficult to compete with assembly line for price, except maybe for us die-hard fans. Thanks Dave for another interesting project.
I was getting a lil bumbed when I saw the nuts and bolts and thought” it would be be way better with hot rivets” then a few moments later I was completely relieved! Thanks for the great content keep it up. As always lived the show
I need one of these in my garage. Also use them to hang the cast iron wash pot. I have a Wards, John Deere, & International metal horse drawn wagon chassis. Built from 1910 to 1930
Your videos totally bring back memories! Did you ever work with Dallas Stoller J Diamond Carriage Shop in Rupert Idaho? He was my neighbor and i would be out it the shop "helping" when i was a kid lol. Then when i was older i would help him heat and shrink tires onto wheels. When i was in high school working at a machine shop i made a hydraulic brake set up for the front axle of his mud wagon! Anyway thank you for the fond memories!
When you started out, I couldn't for the life of me figure out where you were going. Then, little by little, the design revealed itself. The proportions of the metal and the rivets make the thing gorgeous. It would look good in colors as well, such as dark red or hunter green. Thanks for sharing!
Here in Ireland the worn tires were often straightened and made into very attractive farm gates by blacksmiths using the same riveting technique. Those gates are sought-after now, but they still turn up on older farms.
This what I called the most finest workmanship, quality of the stuffs that Made in USA made by the real American
Dave you are amazing.....Thanks my friend.....Bye for now

Dave Sharp Idea Thank You

Words like, Poetry, Beautiful, Wonderful, Simple, Fantastic spring to mind, they go no further than that because I am speechless.
Dave, you are one handy son of a gun. I like your firewood holder, gives me ideas.
Hammer sculpting!! Gotta love it! An old friend once told me, " If a hammer doesn't work, you're using the wrong one!!"
I bet this man could build Noah's ark for the one and only. Such a great man at work with so many skills.
Dave, a lot of these folks sound like you just opened a new business. Merry Christmas to you and Diane from Barb and I.
Same to you, Gil. We might ask Janelle if she wants to make some to sell.
I’m willing to bet a handshake from Dave would break my pinky finger, and I’m a carpenter/plumber 20 years in. Cheers Dave, keep ‘em coming.
Great idea! I had no guess what this is 'til you put it beside the oven.
Greetings from Germany, and a peaceful time for you and your family!
Marcus
Чудово!!!!
Dear Mr. Engel, if you ever planned a Christmas Special, this is it! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Germany.
Magic! Nothing gets thrown away; there's a re-use for practically everything!
8:40 Dave says he will measure "Roughly." His measurements are always precise with excellent alignment, which is why so many of us enjoy watching him do the job right.
The last part of this video was riveting. I will never tire of watching it.
I LIKE it!!! Nice!! Thanks D & D!!
I hope you sell a lot of these. I love useful stuff from junk. If I lived near you I would order two. One for the house burner and the other for the barbecue.
What a star you are Mr Engel☺
I watch this craftsman at work and feel inadequate 😢…another great watch ..👍👍
Nice! And sweet move with the hammer flip when banging those rivets. So smooth I almost didn't realize it happened. 😎
I'm in my late 70s. When my father-in-law was a little kid, he said one of the games they played was "click and wheel." They'd find an old wagon tire and see how far they could roll it.
Always good to see some blacksmithing!
What a beautiful piece of work! That's what I call recycling... 🤠🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
Hi Dave. The on-camera talking with your good microphone is a real bonus I think. Another great video. Thank you.
Naturally rounded-worn tire edges are very lovely.
Love the final leveling adjustment being carried out with a ball peen hammer.
Thanks for that! I use the wrought for knives, (cladding). This is another great way to “upcycle” the heritage items in our lives.
this is a really great idea. But I have a problem. I am fresh out of old wagon tires.😁😁 Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
😄
True waste not want not as blacksmiths have done down the centuries. What do I need vs what do I have to hand and a sprinkle of art and genius in between. Excellent!
Thank you Dave, for showing how to use a TRAVELER. I have watched you many times and am still baffled. You are a great resource . John, Michigan
I loved the 10 inches, roughly!
This construction made me smile from beginning to end. What beautiful and functional piece of art. Thanks, for sharing.
A great way of re using old materials!
You could make a stack of those wood holders, and sell them in hardware stores, and home improvement centers.
Stamp Engels Coach Shop on them and it would be pretty sweet to have one.. i would buy one in a second!
It's always interesting to make the first one, when series production sets in, it usually changes to being a chore.
I would buy one
Problem is, this is a quality heirloom grade piece, and everyone wants to pay walmart chinese made prices.
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz yup there's my problem too... I'm great at design and build then I loose interest in just turning out widgets.. I appreciate one offs,, unique.. Like all the instruments I have made for film.
You are not allowed to retire Dave! I've grown to love your erudite drawl. Creativity personified.
Thats a great project made from scrap. My Dad had a saw horse made by the local blacksmith from old cart wagon tyres, when we moved we left it at the old house.
I saw where the tire was set in the ground on spikes and in the circle they hang those plasma cuttings of horses buffalo heads elk and family signs with adresses. Nice work!
Dave: You =saved a old wheel tire from the next load of scrap. I am going to make me on to match what you just showed us how to make!! THANKS Dan H
You're welcome!
You are a very talented man! God bless.
That's a sweet for the old metal tires. I'll have to keep that in mind once I get a shop set up again.
Congratulations on your idea of recycling rims for wagon wheels. Greetings to you and your wife from the city of Catania
I like the fact that you riveted them instead of bolts..it gives it that old time look i like so much with iron stuff for this application. beautiful...
Wish I had an old hand forge and an anvil. Nothing is scrap when you have those two tools.
Beautiful and it will last another 100 years!
Those are the best heaters, air tight. Amazing. What wouldn't go better than a nice wrought iron firwood holder made from AGED iron with much history in their blood.

I hope you make one of those firewood holders for your museum.
If only I had wagon tires,, nice work And a fireplace
Reduce, re-use, re-cycle...... Purrrrrrfect ! ! !
Great blacksmithing project!
A real pleasure watching a True Master of his craft.
reminder-keep flammables 3' from stove , nice woodstove accessory, Dave
Each week we can only stand in awe of the master - whatever next.

Wonderful firewood holder you made. Great and thanks for showing us.

You are simply amazing. Nice job shaping the metal for the wood holder. Stay safe.
Definitely a cowboy way of using what you got on hand. I was happy to see you did it with rivits...I enjoy watching your hammer work on the anvil.
You should make a custom stamp. A stylized "D.E." or maybe "Engel" that you could stamp into metal projects like that. Somewhere inconspicuous, but so your master craftsmanship will be verifiable long after you have swung your last hammer. You could heat up the stamp and use it to burn the same mark into wood projects too! Just a thought!
Reheating a hot stamp is counterproductive. Make 2.... one to heat for branding, one to stamp in red hot material.
@@stevesyncox9893 Good point Steve! 👍😁👍
From old wagon consumable to a functional work of art that will last for generations. Beautiful!
Merry Christmas Dave and Dianne to you and yours. Thank you for another year of edutainment.
Haha, Wally and the Beaver had a good use for those. Just ask Lumpy's dad.
Best regards from Indiana.
Thank you Dave. Watching you forge is a much better cure for my PTSD than the creepy med's my psychiatrist prescribes me.
Beautiful wood rack. Great that you riveted the pieces...a wonderful attribute.
AllmIncan say, Brother Dave , is ‘you da man’!
Thanks Dave. Merry Christmas to your familly and community
Gosh, I love the sound of the hammer, anvil and hot iron all coming together. As always Dave, great work.
Buenas noches.
Usted es un artista y hace arte con sus hábiles manos, ¡Felicidades!
That is cool, what a great idea.
Making sure to get it just right was satisfying.
Fine looking job
Love to watch you work the Iron....
Thanks, Dave
Russ
if only I had old wagon tires and a blacksmith's station... it would be a good idea for weekend housework ;)
I have came to see that Dave Engles is a master.
Great job.
Outstanding job once again Dave! Put them on the market! I'd buy one.
Depending on price i would like one too.
If I come out and help can I get one?? I’ll sweep up😁. Nice job!👍

Nice Dave. Looks like you have a little inventory, maybe market those, they look great. Keep on smiling.
I need one of these in my garage. Also use them to hang the cast iron wash pot. I have a Wards, John Deere, & International metal horse drawn wagon chassis. Built from 1910 to 1930
Better looking, tidier AND safer! Excellent design and execution.
Great job, Dave. Makes me wish I had a wood burning stove.
Your videos totally bring back memories! Did you ever work with Dallas Stoller J Diamond Carriage Shop in Rupert Idaho?

Cool! Dave doesn't remember him.
Wow! How cool is that Dave way to go
It's a beautiful thing! Give up wagon wrangling and go full-time on firewood holders!
wow Mr Engels what a beautiful Idea. looks awesome next to the fire place
Really looking good.Thanks for posting.
Love them log holders, ❤️ . Mike.
Amazing job Dave, you’re a true magician 😁😁
Nice use for old wagon tires.
That looks like a Buck stove.
Pretty cool little project.
Well done!
super cool idea! Genius at work!!!!!
I'd buy one if it was for sale, great idea.
That turned out perfect! As does everything you build but I still love this "little" project!
When you started out, I couldn't for the life of me figure out where you were going. Then, little by little, the design revealed itself. The proportions of the metal and the rivets make the thing gorgeous. It would look good in colors as well, such as dark red or hunter green. Thanks for sharing!
I heated my house with a wood stove for 13 years and used some 3/4" pipe with elbows but yours looks much nicer. Fun video.
Here in Ireland the worn tires were often straightened and made into very attractive farm gates by blacksmiths using the same riveting technique. Those gates are sought-after now, but they still turn up on older farms.
