- The challenge in these projects is looking far enough ahead to avoid setbacks and having to reverse procedures. I find myself faced with having to access bolts, but I can't get to them without removing some of what I have already installed. Thanks for coming along!

I love your constant little “stream of consciousness” narration. The one that goes on in my head has a lot more cussing.
*- 🤣*
Engels Coach Shop channel. One of the few on UA-cam that does not use every minute spreading manure but dedicates hours to building things that do.
This channel is such an eye opener into old tech.
‘We are gaining’ - great patience and flexibility - problem solving at its best
As a retired mechanic, I can appreciate the " where did that blood come from ?" comment.
A real master isn't the one that never makes mistakes, it's the one that admits his mistakes 👌
Amazing job sir
--- and knows how to correct them. I'm sometimes a little slow in that department.
I'm a former city boy who chose to live in a rural environment for the past 45 years. I don't ever recall a prettier manure wagon than this one. I've very much appreciated this build, much more than the sheppards wagon, maybe because your doing this for yourself not for others. Pride of workmanship shines through on it all.
Dave needs to show off his Manure spreader at the county fair it’s beautiful to nice for its intend it work
I never thought I would say I’ve seen a manure spreader I could eat my lunch off, but here we are.
No computer can beat Cardboard Aided Design!
I sense you might be a fan of Next Level Carpentry...
Reverse engineering can be brutal and you handle it like a master
It's more than reverse engineering.
21:14 Dave's rebuilding this spreader from a pile of rotten wood scraps and a barrel of rusty cast iron.
Hats off to Dave for his ability to rebuild this jigsaw puzzle.

G'day,
Yay Team !
My father was an Engine Reconditioner, had his own Crankshaft Grinder in 1948 & it was the only one gor 300 miles, he'd started at 14 working for his father who was a Wheelwright that bought a Coachbuilding business in 1919...
Dad reckoned that a Blacksmith-Mechanic to working in Regional areas had to be be a lot smarter than the University trained Engineer...; because when the Engineer's mass-produced Work failed to cope with real-world operational use and broke down - it was the Backwoods Repairer who had to figure out how to get it apart, diagnose what went wrong with it from the broken remains, and then come up with a way to repair it.
And the Repair not only had to be effected using the
Materials and tools already to-hand, and the Fix had to rectify the Universuty-educated
Defect which caused the failure - so that the Customer
Remained happy after having paid to have the
Citibred Wannabe's
Mess cleaned up, and made to become actually
Functional...
(!).
Chalk it up to the great
City/Country Divide, I suppose ; both sides like to feel superior.
Like the Citibreds who point at the high income jobs they all compete for, disparaging the Hillbilly Lifestyle...; whereas the average Hillbilly knows that the
ONLY actual "Reasons" to
Abandon one's own
Home Country, and
Run away to the
Bright Lights, looking for work ;
Involve having gone into
Unrepayable Debt and lost one's
Land, after having flogged it so hard that successive Crop-Failures forced the borrowings - and being unable to find any lawful source of income, where they were bred, born & raised to fit in..., or having done something if which one is ashamed and wants to run away from the social consequences thereof..., or one is fleeing violently overcontrolling manipulative it abusive families...(!).
So the Citibreds talk about how very superior is their lifestyle,
While
The Hillbillies and Hicks and Hayseeds, the Rednecks and the Bogans all
Know
Better than that...
Because they
Didn't have to run away
Moving seven times every generation,
Fitting in...,
Nowhere at all, not anywhere on
Earth...
And when their Grid falls down, and stays down, the
CitiZenry
Is then Compost
On the Hoof.
Apparently.
The further away from the Cities one lives..., the longer one may hope to persist, afterwards ; in my view, at least.
I love the fact that Dave & his brother in law have made their livings since the 1970s, ministering to Animal-drawn Vehicles...
It's almost enough to make me try to put together a
Team of Harness-trained Emus, to pull a
Trotting-Cart into town & back for
Groceries (lol !).
Such is life,
Have a good one...
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
Such is life
That spreader is coming right along. I am very impressed with your ability to look at a problem and then solve it. The fact that you will rotate the slats around to be able to use the opening you created for multiple tasks is proof of your knowledge, skills and abilities.
"Working like a racoon", you should put that on a t-shirt.
I said out loud I would love to build a stagecoach, and then a few days later your channel is recommended. I'm not mad.
The worlds most beautiful manure spreader gets more beautiful every day
You just need some dowel centers to put in the frame holes, set the upright where you want it and tap it and you have your holes all marked
My thought when you were “trying” to find the holes from the inside out!
More than likely the slats and chains were assembled all but one or two on a flat table. Then threaded onto the rollers and and finished off like a bicycle chain. What a project!! Looks amazing.
I love the way that you always square the nuts with the work if possible. Who else thinks of things like that?
Holy crap - you have the same 1975 “montgomery ward” jigsaw I have 😂
We both need a new one! !
I bought mine with “green stamps “ when I was a kid.
Get a cordless one - Makita do several great 18v ones with tool-less blade change - oh, and treat yourself to some decent blades
to reinstate the slats why not rotate the slat bed until the slats are on the underside; you appear to have some slack in that chain which gives you acees to both sides to fix the slat bolts back on.
I don't understand why I'm so excited about this particular project - but I am!
Bright colours inflame men's passions.
The disadvantage of doing a one-off project. Imagine how much easier the next 5 would go now with the new education you have! Another great video!
Welcome to my world.
Seems like no matter how simple the project I'm trying to accomplish, I always find myself hanging upside down trying to work behind my back, left-handed, without being able to see what I'm trying to do.
I feel for you, Dave. I've been there.
Very true!
So dispite the rumors and the evidence we see each section, YOU ARE HUMAN.
Nah. That's just the exception that proves the rule. :))
Mustie1 has a saying , "we do it right 'cause we do it twice" . Even a mechanical genius makes a blue occasionally.
Rotating the slats to get clearance for drilling the lower side boards is pure genius & experience speaking. I'm sure I would have removed more slate to get access. It's that type of thinking & analysis that makes watching you work pure gold !
I was thinking the very same thing. Watch and learn.
A tool that Dave doesn't have, but can make when he needs one - a set of transfer punches. Harbor Freight has a pretty cheap set that will do what you need.
Fascinating work as always.
I really like the way Dave ground the point on the bolt to make his own transfer punch. It seems much more period correct.
This spreader is one crazy jigsaw puzzle. Not only do you have to put it together, you have to make the pieces first.
Getting those uprights on looked as hard as puttin' socks on a rooster! Nicely done!
Hello
This is only the second time I have commented to a UA-cam channel.
Knowing right from wrong is no longer taught to the younger generation.
Knowing you needed to paint the vertical backs, and after your usual conflict
in your head you remembered, knowing what's right and doing what's right are
two different things!!!!!!!! Please, keep doing thie right thing as this is
what a true Craftsmans product elevates above others who,are still stuck
only knowing what's right but..........
Please maintain your level of a Craftsmanship and let's enjoy your builds as we
have become use to.
God Bless
Thank you.
I can't wait to see this move. Maybe not spreading ... pebbles... but at least pulled behind something to make sense of the whole machine. I've pretty much got it all, but you can only be sure when you see it. Regardless, this is quickly shaping to be, one of my favorite builds on the channel. The mule team monsters were amazing, but this is just special ... for some reason. Haven't yet figured out why. Very cool as a history piece regardless.
I had to go back and check I hadn't imagined you putting the pencil through the hole before you went off and got a pointed bolt and a hammer to mark where you needed to drill.
It's not absent-minded, it's just prepping for the final coat.
Title this segment “Dave being mortal” - undoing done stuff, getting paint on his fingers… Makes me feel not so bad. Thanks.
You should add a set of transfer punches to your toy box. Technically, a machinist tool but they're super handy as a woodworker.
Problem solving is a virtue. Well done my friend..
Really appreciate you taking time to put these videos up. Its inspirational
Master magician. It is a pleasure to be invited on the journey. God Bless you and Mrs. Engels.
In the future, if you need to align holes, you should give dowel transfer plugs a try. They go into blind holes and give you a center point when you put your board on it and give it a light tap. They make them fit into various sized holes with a small flange, keeping it from going far into the hole.
Problem solving at its best... old school! Nice solve!
Your not alone in getting ahead of your self. But nice workmanship. Project is looking very good. Hope your having fun we sure are. Thank you !
Once you get the manure spreader restored, I would love to see you review it and tell how you would have tweaked it for improvement. I know you have been thinking of those things. Would be another great insight into your thoughts and creativity.
BTW, I’m glad that you have reached a point in life where here you are building for yourself, as well as others. You earned that luxury!
Love watching a Master at work.
I read in a site on facebook called 'Golden Old History' about a 'hoodlum' wagon, which was also called a bed wagon. It was watched over by the hood. This wagon was used to ease the load on the chuck wagon and also carried additional items like fence poles, ammunition, tools, etc., and was also used by the cowboys to sleep in. I've never heard of a hoodlum wagon and it was interesting to read about. This must be where the name hoods comes from for the the crooks in the mob movies.
Where there is a will there is a way , think about it and work it out before hand . You have taught that lesson well Dave. It's getting closer to "GIDDIE TIME" and being done. Keep up the fantastic build you have managed again. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
Hi Dave, and Diane, always something, but always a solution as well. Not a big deal for a professional like yourself. I've seen you pull through much worse. This is looking so nice. Thank you for sharing, and take care.
You always seem to come up with a solution. Always enjoy your videos and learn a lot.
I feel very sure you'll get it all just the way you want it to be. I don't have your patience to do what you do. You do wonderful work, no matter how difficult it is!! 👍
She’s coming along nicely ❤
Well done. I love the pointed bolt to mark the locations. Thank you.
thanks Dave been waiting as you move along on this project
I'm a musical instrument maker, specializing in bows for violins and other strings, and repairs. My scale is thus much smaller than yours. But the problems are very similar, and the miscalculations also. It's wonderful for me to see the same kind of reasoning in a rather different field. Great work, sir.
Lunch is on me if you're ever in town. Cheers from sunny Vienna, Scott
A little frustration makes the job more satisfying at the end ! Great video as always. Thanks.
*Sir, you amazed me with every project that you shared. Thank you so very much.*
Thanks for demonstrating the clever solutions you develop to conquer engineering challenges you discover along the way.
Had a giggle moment , all your new Makita tools, and then you bring out an ol' aluminum body jigsaw. Makita needs to step up.
Side note. It's sad. Had a cousin that was shocked at work with an aluminum body drill. Someone had broken the ground prong off the extension cord he was using. The drill shorted internally and passed through him , shortest path of resistance. It didn't kill him , the fall off the scaffolding did that.
That spreader is a work of art.
As usual you are doing a great job. Thank for letting us watch.
Dave, your patience is inspiring. Such quality workmanship. I enjoy watching a master at work. Thanks
Thanks for sharing sometimes it’s one step forward and two steps back but it’s looking good
Dave. Your motto should be...
The difficult I do immediately. The impossible takes a wee bit longer. 😊
Happy Tuesday.
Can only imagine that the same kind of process was followed back in the day when the original was prototyped; and thereafter, for production, they would have pre-drilled all the holes in the side boards from one or more templates.
G'day Dave,
Great stuff !
"Building a Boat in a Basement..." ;
That's a new one on me...!
I've seen a few photo's of people extracting homemade Aeroplane Fuselages & Wings, full sized..., by putting them out a dismantled Window from the Bedroom they'd been glued up inside...; sometimes coming out several Stories off the ground.
Perhaps the funniest was my ekdest Broher in Law, a Master Carpenter & Housebuilder, who designed & built a Baby's Cot from Australian Hardwood for my Neice, and he assembled it inside the Bedroom.
When the daughter outgrew the Cot it had to remain insitu because it was too big to fit through the door - and too strongly built to take apart.
25 years later, when he sold the House he had to remove the Window and use a Crane, to extract Caryn's Cot ; and then replace the Window and framing...
He also designed his next house, which featured double parallel Hallways (one Hallway is a waste of space, costly to build, costly to heat & cool, and nobody ever lives in a Hallway...!), and sunlit double-brick Feature-Walls aligned North/South, staggered in the Living Room with both opposite double sliding Glass Doors (on East & West Walls, collecting early morning & late afternoon Sun and capturing it's Heat, at Grafton, 30 miles inland at the Coast, 30° South of the Equator where no heating is ever required...(so forever after they lived behind drawn curtains wuth the Lights on, in daylight !).
But the funniest sude was that he was sinking some "hot money" into the House (cash in hand, untaxed weekend work for decades ?), so he bhilt ut with all walls being Double Brick, full-cavity type ; abd after pulling the Cot out the window of his first house, it turned out that he then had to cut & shut all the Beds to fit them into the Bedrooms - because he'd failed to allow for Wall-thickness when measuring his Pencil-Lines on the Plans.
And the Beds would not fit into the Bedrooms whichever way they were aligned.
My father and brother had gone down to assist with the move, and they were still laughing about it 98 miles later when they arrived home atop the Mountain.
You extracted your Boat from the Basement very well indeed, I thought.
Kerp on keepin' on.
Such is life,
Have a good one...
Stay safe.
;-p
Ciao !
Сколько смотрю, не перестаю удивляться Вашему подходу и умению найти нужное решение к поставленной задаче!
Excellent fitment and beautiful to watch. Love your patient fruit of the spirit.
Persistence is a virtue well worth cultivating, or in this case spreading.. lol another great job.
They call it a spotting punch in machine shops.
Thanks for sharing Dave and Diane, coming along nicely. See ya next week.....God willing ✌️
A master level 3D puzzle it is.
Thank you Dave for showing this part
Happy Tuesday Dave and Diane!!
Thanks. Same to you!
Another Great Video - Enjoy channels where problems are solved.
.................G'day Dave,
I'm loving the progress mate.
Cheers and God bless.

Pretty impressive use of the hammer in the blind. One ATTABOY
That's the pitfalls of reverse engineering Dave. but you nailed it, well, bolted home that is. MB.
Well at least now that you have those two boards removed from the conveyor belt the second side should go on a lot earlier as you can now position the open spot in the belt over the spots you need to work to mark the holes.
I am a little surprised you didn't just take a Carriage Bolt and sharpen the tip to a point and use that as a transfer punch to mark the uprights. Great video as always! 👍👍
5:39 that was a saw from the 70s based on shape and color. Love it!
looking good Dave really liking this machine till the next one thanks Ric
*- Yup, once you removed the slats, I realized you would probably just rotate the apron to reinstall the bolts, just as you said at the end.*
*- Nice problem solving, Dave.*
I never thought i would be this interested in a manure spreader. Ive restored a few cars over the years, and i know all too well about taking taking 2 steps forward and 1 step back. It happens.
I love your "can do" attitude Dave. That philosophy is an inspiration to many.
Why not turn the missing slats to the bottom for final assembly? You will have easy access to everything then. Love your bi-weekly content. As always, true craftsmanship.
Gets better and better.... Thank you so much .
I continue to marvel at your skills.
beautiful knot free wood!
it is beautiful
an old trick is to use a piece of paper lined up with the bottom frame and poke holes in the paper using a pencil to get the location of the holes also drill the holes in those upright frames a little large, the squaring up can be done when tightening them.
Dave, you'd have made a great aircraft mechanic. I've removed many engine parts that I didn't know what they looked like until I got them off where I could see them.
What you made with the carriage bolt is what machinists call a transfer punch. They come in sets of all sizes.🧐
Very good lesson today.
Looking good
Great show, love the series.
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
Second verse, same as the first. I'm Henery the Eighth I am!
Another informative video Dave. Always look forward to these. I find myself looking at old farm wagons & horse drawn machinery differently here in the UK. Stay safe & well.
Excellent problem solving. Dave, I was thinking, when you get this fertilizer spreader put together, you are going to need some fancy cowz. Mister, you wouldn’t want what ordinary cowz leave behind in that spreader.!!!
Sofia and John can help you out.!! 😀
I loved this one out of them all
Thanks Dave.....
Old Shoe🇺🇸
Great recovery Dave. Diane Great editing ❤
13:10 As much as said he didn't want to remove the sideboard mounting post to paint it, we all knew he was going to do it.
Looks great Dave.
I’ve been in that exact same situation. Patient is the key to success. Nice job Dave.
Once again thanks for the video, Roll the chain around till the missing slats are on the bottom in the middle of the spreader , easy peezy
Audio much better today. I think last week it was muffled by your neck scarf. Wonderful video and production quality. Thank you!
