Salvaging and reusing the original parts is a mandatory task . It’s about maintaining and protecting the heritage to the next generations.
this is one great program i could sit and watch him all day
PLEASE DON'T stop making videos! WE enjoy watching you repair, & preserve, (& Sometimes completely manufacture them from scratch, IE, Borax Wagons) the relics of days past.
I just want to thank you for your help me during my cancer treatment, I have been stuck in home for over a year and hope that I can get strong enough to get to see you, I am in remission but the virus is preventing me from traveling, God bless you and keep you safe and healthy.
I grew up in England in the counties of Surrey and Hampshire , spent a lot of time in the 50s and 60s on farmland with horses and carts still being used . They had a scent and a feeling of permanence that stayed with me . Your videos take me right back , not in some golden summer way but to the work , the horses , the men cursing when they thought us boys couldn't hear , hiding out of the rain under the cart . Great video 👍🇬🇧
I replaced 20 pickets on my backyard fence yesterday. Also did some minor structural repairs.
Probably spent 5 hours total. By the 20th picket my hands and arm were tired...no, worn out. In my defense, I'm 9 months since neck surgery and this was the first real work I've done since, but Dave is slinging that hammer all day long. I guarantee you, after shaking hands with Dave, you know you've shaken a man's hand.

And unfortunately they want to completely „break that habit“ of shaking hands! In my life I have often walked up to professionals on construction sites with my hand outstretched to hear: „Oh, my hands are dirty.“ My standard answer: „That would be the day when I hesitate to shake a man‘s hand that got dirty from a good day of hard work! I‘ll be honoured to share!“
I hope you are not the only one that keeps this trade alive. You are a master at what once was routine. Thanks for keeping history alive and well.
My daughter and family stopped by from Texas today. Thanks for letting them look around.
The most impressive thing I saw in this video: Drilling a hole halfway from both sides and getting them to line up in the middle.
Ce n,est pas un simple travail, c,est un travail d,artiste,je suis impressionner. Quebec Canada .
I recently told my father about this channel. He was an amazing woodworker. We would enjoy discussing the videos. He passed just before Father’s Day. Thanks Engles Coach for adding to my fond memories of my father through your videos. I love you Dad.
Thanks very much fun to watch you work.....l am old now but...l can still remember helping Mr Maxwell load hay onto a wagon pulled by a team of...Mules one name was George the other was named Betsy....That was back in the 1950's a long time ago...!
My entire working life i have been into wood and only rarely strayed jnto masonry. Metalsmithing was the dark arts. However, no one enjoys sèeing a bit of cold steel take on the heat until it is glowing or listening to the sound of a hammer striking while the subjected piece rests on an anvil. The visuals evoked are soothing yet thought provoking. Dave,,, a huge thank you sir. See ya next week sir.
Dave.. A video of you working is a good thing to see we always learn from A Master Craftsman
Compliments on your video skills - you always point the camera exactly where I want to look! Thanks, Dave, for letting us watch.
Thanks. I try to let you see what I see.
Dave, your craftsmanship is a real pleasure to watch. I never get tired or watching your videos. Thank you.
And at the end of the day, all of the several dozen square nuts were perfectly aligned with their neighbors. The world is a crazy (and yes, scary) place at the moment but a 25 minute visit to Dave's shop somehow makes things feel a little bit better. Once again, thanks for allowing us along on this wonderful journey Dave.
Yes, aligning all of the nut heads. Dave is a stickler for perfection.
Captain G .. A most pleasant remark. I feel the very same.
Hello, It is a joy to watch you work. Many thanks.
A Yorkshire man in Scotland.
It's great to see this old technology repaired even if it is for display. There's a lot more to one of these wagons than us 73 year young'uns knew about. I really appreciate your videos. Most of us older guys who grew up in farm country have seen these rot away for our entire lives. good to see a few survive. Regards, Solomon
Yes, agree 100%.I always hard them refered to as wooden wagons. Surprised to see how much metal was in them
Yes what was common, every day, is not so much anymore huh.
EngelsCoachShop Ain’t that the truth! Even some stuff that was common just a few decades ago is rapidly becoming hard to find.
I like to watch your vintage & old cart repair & to build new one.
You are really incredible...
Love it. Walk in the house take care of everything that needs to be done is done and what do I see?
Engels Coach Shop uploads. Time to relax and watch a man do some crafting on some histor while he makes it look so simple.,
Dave is a true master of his craft, something rarely seen in 2020.
20:48 Some people may call it OCD but i call it perfection 👌 when he loosen up 🔧 just a smidge the square nut to leave all in same position 😉 this guy's a Legend 👌
Another fine video - thanks for taking me along.
Nice and easy watching for a friday evening after a long week 👍👍👍👍👍
No guard on the bandsaw wheel? Your skilled beyond words but a lucky man! Keep em coming!
it's a pleasure watching you
I will definitely be standing by until next week.
Hats off for remembering where every part goes!!
That's really why he shoots these videos :)
And lots of still shots as well, I"m guessing.
I like the hydraulic press, workhorse!
He doesnt keep notes or rely on film. I already asked him about that years ago.
@@davidduma7615 Darn, you stole my thunder, lol
I have been watching for more than two years....and I look forward to each video as if it were the first. Utterly fascinating.
What a pure pleasure , I always count the days till the new video. I find it so relaxing. Maybe my age but i love it. beats anything on TV, A BIG THANK YOU
Bingo. My wife’s watching the tv while I get my weekly fix. I’m making a 1/4 sized model of an Australian wagon and my wife keeps telling people how I studied Dave’s videos to learn how to make the wheels. Little does she know what else I am learning. 😁
Your comment about latex paint was the answer to why my wooden gate rotted so quickly.
The more I watch this channel, the more I'm convinced that your shop is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. How do you have room for all those tools and supplies, and still be able to turn around? 😳😄
In a way, as much as Daves work is marvellous. I think another marvellous part, is that there are people out there who put their hands in their own pockets to pay Dave to do the work. Without the 'Historical Philanthropy', most if not all of Daves work.....well you all know what I am saying.
Absolutely, it probably cost much more to fix it than it's worth, but now it will be around another 50 years or so.
@ What does LBGTQ have to do with what we are talking about?
Hello Sir
It is a pleasure to see you working
And saving the history of the Stellmacher Handwerk 😉👍
It is a little bit of magic to see you putting a hole straight and even free handed through a Big peace of wood
Greetings and best wishes
Yours Frank
Thanks Frank.
It is dedicated work, wonderful, one man army, like all in one
Thanks for sharing your craftsmanship!
I really enjoy watching your work.
That’s a nice piece of ash 👍
Sir.........you are a master of what you do
Thanks Mr. Engel. Watching many of your videos I have a better understanding of the difference(s) between a rebuild, a restoration, and a preservation. Fascinating work.
Thank you Mr Engels for these excellent instructional videos of the coach and wagon trade... absolutely amazing the level of Craftsmanship in these wagons of the old West.. God bless you and your family.. till next week stay safe and take of yourself 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🕊🕊🕊🕊
Dave is now playing to the crowd every week with his trick shot - drilling through from one side and finding the hole on the other to perfection.
Thanks for another great video.
That vinegar and iron filings works a treat. Its going to look amazing when its refurbished. I love watching your skills Dave ,you are truly an all round craftsman. Your attention to detail makes for entertaining viewing in these troubled times! Thanks for taking us on this journey...
Watching you disassemble, repair and reassemble all of those components was very complicated. I can't imagine the work in creating the original equipment. Great Job ...
Ive watched a LOT of rebuilds and restorations over the years ... i think this is the first time I have seen someone anneal a weld. Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
I have never seen a weld annealed but a great idea, nor have I anyone that can drill from both sides and hit the hole perfectly! Amazing craftsman!
Just more excellent work now archived on the internet for the rest of the world to learn from.
Thanks again for sharing your skill and knowledge with us Dave.
I think of my dad watching you work. He was born in 1905, some of his siblings where born in the 1880's and 90's He often talked about wagons and buggies. Mom remembered them well too. She was born in 1910. Your work ethic always make me think of them. (If your going to do something, do it right or not at all.) I often still hear that phrase in my mind when I am watching your videos.
Best part of my week. Thank you Dave
Same here we get it Saturday in Australia
paul thompson Yeah! Another Aussie. I follow along each week in Sydney.
Dave, Thanks for turning down the volume when you use your press, it saves me from having to turn mine down and makes the viewing much more comfortable.
It does have an annoying whine doesn't it.
As always, Thanks for sharing...
Sir as always love the video's and like the comments below, Yes we all know you get paid to do this work, And I love the fact that thru you some history stay's alive. And can looked back on later. But I wonder off all the people that watch Your video's, Whether they see what I see, and that is the passion you put into your work. Thank You again Sir, job well done.
Many of us do. That's one of the reasons we are here every Friday, waiting (im)patiently for the next video to be posted.
There many of us and the number's are growing.
Captain G Spare a thought for us Aussies. We have to wait until Saturday. 😔
@@brucemeller2794 Sorry Mate, but what a way to start the weekend! At least you don't have to risk getting caught watching it at work, like some of the folks here in the States. :)
It is interesting the shapes the various metal parts have taken over time either from stress, wear or weather.
Always a pleasure to watch a man work when he knows what he is doing and how to do it.
I'm glad their is someone else that uses a hacksaw besides myself,once again thanks for alowing us to look over your shoulder.🤗🤗
When I used to splash around on the old Thames Sailing Barges (as volunteer crew) we would sometimes get new wedges cut for the battens that secured the hatch cloths. These would be cut from oak and the trick was to put them in a sack and, when at anchor or moored alongside, they would be lowered into the water and left for a few hours - the longer the better. This would get rid of the blue dye that leeched out when the timber got wet. Failing to do so would result in blue stains down the hatch coamings and across the deck, which looked a right mess. Especially if the deck had just been painted :-) Thank you again for your wonderful work, good to hear a soothing, friendly voice in these strange times. Take Care, Stay Safe :-)
Thank you so much Dave. You always make my day better after watching you work.
Once again, Thanks for the video.
Nice one Dave. Thanks for having Us.
Thanks, Dave. Can’t wait till next week to see how you handle the braking system. I LOVE your videos. So many thanks to you and your wife for sharing your knowledge with us so generously. 👏👏👏👍
Always superb, don't know what I would do without my Saturday morning fix! I sit down with my breakfast, turn on laptop and your always there, bliss
Excellent job as Always Dave
The saying is “I love work! I could watch you do it for hours!” Watched you enough to hit the “like” button BEFORE I watched the video. Love it!!!
Tami Anderson
I have few channels where I do that, but this is definitely one! And I love to be in the one digit numbers.
Great job Dave, it’s always enjoyable watching you at work and seeing how easy you make your job look to be. Fantastic save, thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Thanks for coming along Fred.
20:48 - back off the nut just a little to make everyone line up square...
I caught that too. I'm the same way putting on decorative plates on plugs and switches. All the screw slots have to be vertical. I made a story stick for sheetrock so I could put in a straight line for the screws and a cross mark at each screw location so the screws were spaced evenly. Call me anal...LOL
@@larrykeenan598 You two guys sound like a US Army Corp of Engineers inspectors, some of them are nut jobs
@@edwardlincoln5680 Well, dig this; I have been known to tap threads so the nuts will line up when at the proper torque. There is beauty in symmetry.
OCD is not a bad thing.😎😎
Rush Dougherty
And we noticed it and love him for this extra little pride in his workmanship!
Actually all it takes is to get in the proper mindset once, start doing it right, sticking to it and before you know you don‘t even have to think about it any more. Your subconscious will ring all the bells and whistles and you will back off that one nut that is not perfect in a split-second brushing by. That is the master class of a true professional.
Amazing work! Enjoy watching your videos.
Makes Friday evenings complete watching Mr Engels putting things right.
Thanks again!
really i impressed. when you make welding make like a wax candle. so nice.
Another terrific video Dave - gee.. they seem to get better each week! I'll ask you a couple of questions about making these videos - first, as much as you're able to carry around in your head all the various parts' locations, and how they go back together (amazing), are you also thinking about your camera locations and lens settings while you're working with the parts? Have you got some kind of all powerful gut instinct going on - telling you.. "okay, I think I'll move the camera a bit closer and zoom in on this action, then turn it and...?" That's just another one of your genuine talents! Also, I'd like you to give us an idea of how much longer it takes you to accomplish an assembly process when you're also shooting the video, and framing each shot in the camera. Double "regular time?" Triple? Maybe a whole lot more, no? I'm gaining an even greater appreciation of your skills, as I watch your videos now, and try to note just how many changes in set ups there are, just in a particular small portion of the assembly. Some of those clips are just a few seconds long - but they sure make it all much more visually interesting, and keeps the "action" as it were, progressing quite smoothly. I'll just add, that editing all of the clips together, has got to be a huge project in and of itself! It's all certainly quite worth it - we all remain the beneficiaries of so many aspects of your talent, skill, and experience! Again, thanks tremendously for putting so much of yourself into these online video lessons.
Amen and amen to that.
Thanks Gerry. Yes it does add time. I try to keep a mental story line in my head when setting the camera and know I can't show everything without being really boring to watch. So I try to catch the gist of the process. It takes me about 6 hours to edit 2 to 3 hours of video into a 20 minute time frame.
I read "Wagon Rear Axle" and I thought "bah!" then I watched and now I wish I could give you 2 thumbs up. Must be a joyfull bliss being a kid hanging around your shop and stealing with eyes wide open, as I used to do when I was a ten year old.
Well I had to share something I just learned. Some of you may already know this but some may not. I have family in Deadwood and we're going next spring so I looked at the distance to Joilet. In doing so I looked up the Wikipedia page for the town. That's when I found that under notable people Dave is listed as one of the famous people from the town. I couldn't help but find that wonderful. So there you go. Dave is listed as famous on the internet. I hope I get to see the shop
Screwdrivers must be the most versatile tools in anyone's shop.
Screwdrivers and "C" Clamps!
The one he was driving in for a wedge looked like an old Craftsman from the 50-60's.
I had one like that when I was an apprentice, am 66 now
It drives me wild to see screw drivers abused like that. But then I was caught using a 2" wood chisel as a cold chisel. Caught by a master carpenter no less. For shame.
@@MrLikeke Those craftsman were made to be abused I still have mine from the 60's.
Mr Engel I hope you and your family are doing well.
I can not recall seeing you ever use a modern Cap Head Bolt, only Carriage Bolts. Is this where the term came from the coach and carriage industry? Any idea when the hex nut and cap head bolt was invented?
And it was great to visit with you back in February, thank you for having me!
That's where the term comes from yes. There are some places where hex nuts are original, but don't know the date on hex bolts.
Enjoyed the video Mr Engel. That's a difficult puzzle with all those parts. Thanks for taking the time to produce the videos. Y'all take care and God bless.
Yep i am still here making sure you keep your end game up ha,ha.
I never get tired of watching the work you do 👍
Glad you're keeping tabs on me.
@@EngelsCoachShop somebody has to lol.😁
Boat builders use white oak, as it is stronger than most timbers. They fasten with bronze as iron or steel fasteners degrade the oak, iron sickness, in salt water. Turns the oak black, and accelerates rot. Not so much of a problem with bronze. I still think you are a living treasure, for the United States.
Best wishes
Again an amazing demonstration of repairing something old with new pieces but it still looks old. Great teaching session Dave
Fascinating thanks for posting
Even the out of sight nuts on the bottom were clocked. Details details details! :-) Keeping the old look is a talent.
Noticed that too.
Preserving history is so Important. It's amazing to see.
*I keep catching myself thinking that a refurbishment/repair job would be pretty much the same amount of work, Dave, but maybe more satisfying or more straightforward somehow. My guess is you know better because we just see the edited versions that inherently make it hard to perceive/register the total amount of effort different things take. Either way, it sure is a lot of work. Nicely done.*
I so admire your skills. You make things look so easy but I do realize that it comes with lots and lots of practice and many wagons. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
I too have a set of Craftsman 7/16" wedges. Came with a set that contained my 1/2" ratcheting hammer.
Thanks Dave
you can almost see the wood reaching up to grab the paint off the brush..
It was kinda thirsty, wasn't it?
Grateful that I could watch, thank you Dave.
The secret is out as to how Dave drills an accurate hole from both sides of a 5 inch piece of wood and they meet exactly, he cheats by holding his finger over the target end! I must remember that. Wonderful skills as ever.
Another fascinating video David , like doing a jigsaw puzzle without the picture , brilliant , take care and God bless..!..!
I'll never cease to be impressed how well you're able to line up holes through wide boards, I get one out of four perfect.
I've used the screwdriver carriage bolt holder many times, but never on a wagon or carriage.
Thanks for the video.
Friday night is Engles night
Right now i was locking one episode form the Little House on the Prairie - 1x14 - Christmas at Plum Creek. In this one Charles Ingales repaiurs an old wagon to get a new oven for the kitchen/ His wife has todo the daily cooking on open fire. You have to see it. Second time where i knew i have to write down here is 16:35 mm:ss where Charles is working on it.
HELLO from chihuahua mexico, one more wonderful episode of ENGELS COACH SHOP, thank you for the video and the information, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Always very interesting thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺👀
Your talent for drilling long straight holes is uncanny . I love watching a fellow artist / craftsman AND drooling over many of your unique tools .
Great work and a true master craftsman! saving the rivets was great proof if proof was needed you are preserving not restoring, it could have been so easy to just put in new. thank you for your videos they are not only informative but respite from the madness thats going on outside.
another Good one ! Someday I would like to come visit your shop.
This channel brings me an extraordinary delight whenever I watch.
Kinda nice to see an older vehicle "Saved" vs. replicated. Love that hydraulic press too ! Thanks for the share Dave.
Goed bezig met een geduldig werk
