    The number of different skills you excel in never ceases to amaze me. Wood working, metal working, upholstering, sewing, painting, cattle farming, building barns and infrastructure to name a few. And when the Jeep project comes up, I'm pretty sure we viewers will be surprised with many more. Congratulations for your superb craftsmanship and thank you for the great content as always.

    I was a painter and wood finisher for a number of years and was trained by a couple older painters. When working on a double hung window with multiple panes (9 over 9 or 6 over 6) it was impressed on me that repetition was the key to a good finish, especially on a clear finish. I immediately recognized you were using the same method with the wheels and it sure worked well.

    I owned and worked in automotive and truck restoration shops for close to 40 years. I've probably painted around 30 sets of artillery and wood spoke wheels. It was nice to see you did it exactly as did for all those years. I also used 1 shot paint on all the wood, including truck beds, an old sign painter taught me that. Beautiful work!

    I have come to believe that the "secret" of success in any trade is no more in the skill of the craftsman than it is in his self-discipline, at least when and where it matters. Those who are this good in one trade tend to do well at anything else, and in your case, Dave, the proof is in the pudding, as they say. You then combine that discipline with years of wisdom so that you know what battles are worth fighting and which ones are not. As you probably realize, what you are sharing with us is not only your techniques, but also the philosophy behind them, and I believe that is the gold mine that makes your video series so forever valuable. Thank you for letting us into your paint booth!

    I've spent 30 years and counting in an autobody shop and spent some time painting industrial equipment too. I have never painted a wagon wheel, but your method is exactly how I would have approached it. I was even counting along as you were spraying. Lol! The only thing that surprised me was that you sprayed the outside first. Maybe you can get away with that with the slower drying paint. With fast drying automotive paint you would be risking some dry spots. A "professional" is simply someone paid to do a job. It doesn't mean they are any good. And this seems to be especially apparent in the paint spraying department. Thanks for another great video.😢

    Dear Mr. Engels, Thank you for your advice on painting. I have a lot of experience in woodworking, I once had an expensive furniture company. So my experience was only with the wood that will be in the house. I have learned from you that the easiest way to protect wood that will be used outdoors is to apply the first coat of a very diluted paint or varnish to protect the wood from weathering. And it really works! :)

    Can you imagine, craftsman back in the day used to hand paint these without a single run or drip, and even getting a glass finish with just a horse hair brush. How they did it, I'll never know but I gotta admire their skill. They were a breed of their own back then.

    The advantage of using a brush, you avoid any run. But it takes very very long. My dad taught me how to paint with a brush when I was a mere teen, I can do a good enough job; I never managed to spray paint properly.
    Nice work Dave.

    17 years ago I had a bleeding ulcer nearly take me out. I have nerve damage from lack of blood flow to my arms and legs and developed benign essential tremors. I have to brace my wrists against something if I need to do something that requires a steady hand. That ended up making a lot of things I used to do almost impossible. I envy your steady hands because I wouldn't be able to paint with a sprayer now without having runs and drips because of how much my hand shakes.

    G'day Dave,
    Yay Team !
    Thankyou for making and posting this...
    I really enjoyed the way you showed how very methodically you tackled the task...; I only ever spraypaint from a Rattlecan..., but my approach is to try to understand what actual Spraypainters are doing, and trying to do, with their actual Compressor-driven Paint-Sprayers...; and then attempt to approximately emulate the techniques...
    Sometimes though, owing to the lengthy preparation involved in not messing-up Spraypainting, I prefer to spray into a Cup & reform the Spraypaint into a Liquid form - to be applied via Paintbrush onto the small specific area requiring coverage.
    As it happens, today being Saturday 23/11/2024 here in Oz, on Tuesday night a gust of wind used the Tarpaulin pegged over my Motorcycle to blow it over to impact a Teatree-trunk with the Headlight - breaking 3 Flanges off the cast Aluminium Bracket the Light-Mount bolts onto, & snapping both Injection-mouded Plastic Blinker-Light Stalks.
    5 hours Wednesday, 5 hours Thursday, and 3 hours of Friday, to Epoxy the Alloy back together, Plastic-Bond the broken Stalks, drill & sew across the Glued Stalks' Fractures - with Nylon-Twine/Kite-String, reinforcing the Stitching with Windings "crossed" to run overtop the Bond-Line...
    The Alloy Joins were then
    Served with Twine, and all the White Kite-String then blacked-out with a Sharpie to match the blackness of the Motorcycle (!).
    After curing, all the Anastamoses were lightly sanded, then singed with a flame to remove fluffiness from sanding, and finally brush-painted with re-liquified Mat Black Spraypaint.
    Faster and cheaper than ordering new Replacement Parts from
    Hong Kong...
    Via
    Sydney...(!).
    An interesting application is that without the noise of a Piston Engine, I can make reasonably audible Rideabout-Talkabout Videos on the Electric Chook-Chaser.
    Backtrack me to my Videos to see,
    "Electric Motorcycling, into The Trumpocalypse...; Accelerationists Now In Control ?"
    (Um, I do note that over the 28 minutes there are a couple or a few resorts to "salty" language, unscripted as 'twere...; not used in any lewd or prurient manner, more for linguistic emphasis of the intensity of the point being attempted to be made.
    There is a school of thought holding that, used sparingly, and judiciously...;
    Profanity
    Is but one tool in an
    Oratorical
    Rhetorical
    Bag of techniques...
    In realtime, I admit to succumbing unto
    That particular
    Paradigm.
    No offence intended.
    My (hazy) perception
    Is of a continum of US varieties of
    "Zealous Christian Puritanism",
    having the Amish out on one end - Living in Isolationist Theocratic Communities, and eschewing all kinds of modern Technologies - including Piston-powered machinery, so Horses, Mules, & Bullocks do their work for them.
    The Bruderhoffen also live in Isolationist Theocratic Communities - but they drive Minibusses and Transit-Vans to town, use Tractors and Bulldozers on their Farms, and use CNC Machinery to 3-D Mill the Expanded Foam Display-Signs which they paint and gild (real Gold Leaf, over Foam !) and sell by bespoke Commission to fund their Religious Community.
    You said you grew up among the Mennonites, so I figure that I should apologise, ahead of time, when pointing you at a movie of mine where I did use a few strong words...(?).
    I became a lapsed Presbyterian at the age of 6, but then when sent to Catholic Boarding-School at 11, for almost 6 years...; that made an Evangelical Atheist of me for a decade, but General Nursing Training turned me Agnostic, and after 2 years Off-Grid with Kerosene-Lamps & an Open Fireplace, 5 miles out past a Village..., which led me to try to be a good Faithist.
    So, as an amateur Comparitive Theologist...; the best I can think of at the moment is to
    Try to
    Do NO
    Harm...
    So,
    Anyway,
    We live in interesting times,
    And the
    Thymes,
    They be
    A'
    Changeling...!
    Such is life,
    Live a good one...
    Stay safe.
    ;-p

    Very interesting, thank you. Funnily enough that colour is what I want to paint my Riley more or less. My challenge is painting a new, vintage car and not have it look modern so I want to avoid modern 2 pack paint if I can. I know you can flatten it and so on but it's awful stuff to spray at home. I also don't want a paint that always looks new. I want the paint to fade and get scratched and dirty and wear. It's an old car! But I don't want fake patina. I like that finish you got, that's the sort of look I want to achieve.
