So admire your Trade. Being in my mid 70's I can appreciate what you done in the forty years in doing this. Again it is so appreciated and so enjoyable to watch your videos. Hope to get to Montana to see your business
Great video! When I worked in the wagon shop at Dollywood, I always wanted to pinstripe, but was seldom able to. The shop lead who was their when I started was not keen on it. Later, a new lead allowed me to do a bit! It makes such a difference in the appearance of a wagon or carriage! Great job!!
Every video show a new talent you have. Now the striping is impressive, but spinning the wheel with the hand holding the paint cup is magic! So much so that I paused the video to comment! I always think you should take a little bow after saying “Once again, thanks for watching”. Because I think most of us are applauding in our minds.
I don't often comment, but I just wanted to say that I find your videos very entertaining, and I look forward to each new one you put out. Thanks for sharing this dying art with the world.
GASP! Watching you pull those smooth, symmetrical lines with that dagger brush.... wow... And, having had some experience with the Beugler (and having no abilities with it at all, even as a young man of 26, trying to add pinstripes to my own truck, it was a thing back then) I never had much luck. The guides were helpful, but as you mentioned; "A steady hand" is far more critical than you're letting on. It takes a lot of talent to make it look that easy, no small feat. Adding to the long list of talents you've mastered, "custom pinstriping". Not something I would have expected, but then again, not shocked. Thanks for sharing this.
You are truly an artist. Your composition in all aspects is proof. To be able to imagine in 3D what the project must end up as, and then do all the small tasks to see it come to life is a gift. You are absolutely gifted in many areas. You exemplify the meaning of Master Craftsman.
As I suspected, Dave is an artist! It takes a steady hand and a practiced eye to see clearly how a stripe best fits the piece. Thanks for explaining the two types of stripe painting and explaining where each has its strong points. Your videos have never failed to inform, to entertain, and to please. Speaking of please, will you please keep them coming?!!
In a former life I was a contractor specializing in insurance burnout rebuild jobs. Once house I redid had wood paneling painted spray can gloss white with gloss purple in the paneling grooves. I used a similar to Beugler tool with a glass bottle to redo the grooves. When I got paid for the job. I threw that thing as far as I could off of the I-40 Tennessee River bridge. I haven't used once since. That was 40 years ago. Great work.
Make wheels, Wagons, blacksmith, sew, AND now can paint (what we in England call) coach lines! It wouldn’t surprise me if you could do marquetry too! Great video as per usual.
you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last couple of months :)
Your skill level is very good you do things i would never dream of doing and i so love to watch your workmanship. Thank you for letting us see your work.
I've said this many times: I spent a good deal of time searching the Internet for another wainwright. There is one in the U.K., and none other in the USA. Not to a reasonable comparison. But saying there is but one Dave Engels is still an understatement.
Is there any thing you cant do.?? Back in the early 60's I bought my 1st. new car. I just loved how they used to pinstripe the old cars and thought "I can do that, I just have to do that" but how ? I got some electrical tape, (black, white, silver, and red) made a mandrel to fit the roll on a lathe and cut the tape in 1/8 and 1/4" wide strips and pinstriped that car. It looked like a million bucks. Took my car to the dealer for service, the owner of the dealership saw what I had done to it, went nuts, and put me to work doing a ton of them and in a very short time, my new car was paid for. Thank you for reminding me of the good old days and letting me remissness. thank you, thank, you thank you.
@@EngelsCoachShop One nice thing about getting older in life is the ability to be able to reminisces. Thank you for the reply, it is one of the many things that makes your channel so complete. Rick D.
that is amazing.You have a very steady hand a such a young age. you are the one channel that I wait for because of the quality workmanship and restoration projects. thank you for sharing your talent. And Dan is also awesome in his work
The striping is realy nice. I like the brush striping the most because it is all free hand and makes the nice lines of the parts more visible. Realy nice!!
You are the man, the man with unbelievable talents! Adding to your other talents you are an artist, a real artiest! Thanks for taking the time and effort to do these videos.... we love them!
The depth and body of work on all these videos is truly awesome. A true Renaissance man. Thanks for all the videos. nice Latin music starting at 11:15.
Wonderful. You continue to amaze us with your incredible skills. One wouldn't want to have had too many toddies/nightcaps the night before doing the pin striping. Can't wait to see the canvas being fitted to the wagon. Thank for another great video. Cheers
It's good to see that Spring has finally arrived in Montana! This is the first video of your's that I've watched that everyone isn't running around in some sort of winter coat! Nice artistic "flare" with the racing strip accents, you keep this up and you'll be painting flowers on clay bean pots on the commune in Santa Fe before Winter comes back to Joliet! (Just kidding!)
The detail you give back to these restorations ...Just perfect It amazes me that this is one wheel and you have 3 more to go! Googled sheep wagon and got a education.
It would look so good behind my Dodge power wagon with a grain wagon box for a bed. Can you say back country camping trip. Might never come back except to see the dentist and fresh seeds for a garden.
Beautiful craftsmanship. I love (in other of your videos) the sound op the tapping hammer, when riveting or forging. Sometimes accelerated, so not to bore the watcher. I wish to salute also the maker of the videos : clear images, crisp commentary, very good pedagogical material, great documentary work. From Brussels, Belgium.
Go Faster Stripes! I kept wanting to turn the wheel so you could concentrate in the paint work! Sign writer's brushes take a bit of getting used to. This vid. is certainly a bonus for the lucky owner.
You so remind me of an old friend of mine Bill Ellzey from down in Crestone Colorado, he’s a photographer primarily but everything he does is with so much detail and patience.
I drink way to much coffee to be able to pin stripe, have a bunch of friends that do and it is magic to me to watch them work. You did a great job on those stripes.
Reminded me of cutting in while painting millwork. I've done a bit of that and admire your steady hand. It's the kind of skill one needs to restore an old Victorian house (or rolling stock from the same era).
Quite the process, There's more to it than meets the eye. All sorts of parts to finish up with minor detail to try & keep the body parts original. I guess the undercarriage was too far gone to salvage ????? Great job with the overhaul process......
Always a pleasure of watching. At least you know if this coach working does not work out, you an always apply to Kafka Designs. Na, thanks for showing more of your artistic abilities.
Regarding the paint can issue; I have the same thinking. I have always used a # 2 flat blade screwdriver wrapped in a mineral spirits to clean the internal grove of paint cans
Your varied skills continue to impress me and make you an artist in your own right. All great artists sign their work in some way and I wonder what you do? A hundred or more years from now, someone may be doing some repair on your creations and want to know who did the incredible work and when. GM used to install a small plate "Body by Fisher" to acknowledge their pride in craftsmanship. Thanks for the wonderful lesson in striping.
Dave, My wife & I were up in Washington, Idaho, & Montana these past 3 weeks and were in your neighborhood over the weekend, but assuming you would not be in your shop after 5 PM on Saturday or Sunday, we did not bother attempting to stop by. I had been looking forward to a visit since our first conversation a few months ago when we spoke about my Borax wagon. Really bummed out that it didn't work out.
A mate of mine comes from a line of wheel wrights and cart builders going back at least to the 1760's, although by his grandfathers time in the 1950's it was finished as far as cart wheels were concerned, but they still had a good brisk business repairing ploughs, harrows, draw bars, chains and forging and welding the usual odds and ends and the occasional iron casting. He restored the smithy and cart shop around 10 years ago to make it habitable...that's how they knew it was at least as old as 1760 because the brick and lime cement foundations (which were in perfect condition) were mentioned in some old papers. It is highly likely there was a smithy there from the mediaeval times...The old roof was thatched, but after a bad fire in 1845 or so it was pan tiled instead. Before the building was refurbed, I saw the inside of what was once the paint shop where wheels and cart frames were coloured and lined. It was encrusted in one corner with so many layer of paint it looked like the coral reef. I have since seen people on youtube use similar from auto paint shops to make lathe turned pieces
Mr. Engels, there is no doubt about it you are a genius with those beautiful hands!!!!!!
So admire your Trade. Being in my mid 70's I can appreciate what you done in the forty years in doing this. Again it is so appreciated and so enjoyable to watch your videos. Hope to get to Montana to see your business

Your freehand skills are fantastic in all the areas you apply them.
The level of engineering that went into these old carriages is beyond what most of us imagined.
Every video show a new talent you have. Now the striping is impressive, but spinning the wheel with the hand holding the paint cup is magic! So much so that I paused the video to comment! I always think you should take a little bow after saying “Once again, thanks for watching”. Because I think most of us are applauding in our minds.
Nice job Dave. As we say here in the UK "You have a touch like a midwife" - gentle.
After 60 years of sign painting & pinstriping free hand It's good to see it still being done... "Always Hand Paint"... ! !
All this wagon work, you don't hit the golf course much, great video, enjoy them all
That fellow seems to be a great help wen ya need it I'm amazed by all you accomplish.
Such a delight to see so very little of the trade being "farmed out"!! And in particular, free hand work is a joy to watch! Thanks Again, Mr. Dave!!
I don't often comment, but I just wanted to say that I find your videos very entertaining, and I look forward to each new one you put out. Thanks for sharing this dying art with the world.

Very much a case of "Less is More" ! Enough to highlight, but not to overwhelm.

I am stunned at your variety of talents. It seems there is nothing that you cannot do.

Its so amazing watching carriages repairs...
Have you ever done a funeral carriage, a horse drawn carriage with 4 pillars and glass encloseur?
My wife and I slept in one of these in Ten Sleep, Wyoming this past summer when we cycled across Wyoming!
Mr. Dave is as it is said here in Brazil: A man of a thousand and one utility! A man of a thousand and one talent!
Von Dutch of the wagon industry! Striping takes the wagons to another level.
In a former life I was a contractor specializing in insurance burnout rebuild jobs. Once house I redid had wood paneling painted spray can gloss white with gloss purple in the paneling grooves.

Amazing. Very talented hands. The number of skills that you excel at is truly amazing.
Great job at the pin stripe! I could never be steady enough for that.
you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last couple of months :)
@Yehuda Quinton yea, I have been using instaflixxer for since november myself :)
@Yehuda Quinton yea, been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
@Yehuda Quinton yup, I've been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :)
Now that's too cool . . . artist, blacksmith, upholsterer, craftsman, wheelwright, carpenter, etc., etc. Again, thanks for sharing this video . . .
You gentlemen are true craftsmen and are a joy to watch. Thank you.
Your skill level is very good you do things i would never dream of doing and i so love to watch your workmanship. Thank you for letting us see your work.

Love the color combination !!
You have a real touch with the brush,just enough contrast without over doing it

It's amazing to see how such simple accents add so much to the finished product. You make it look so easy! Great Job!

Wow! What a great looking wagon. More...more!
Go Faster Stripes!

Love that Bugler Striper, very nice piece of kit, shall have to look into getting one of those here in the UK..
I drink way to much coffee to be able to pin stripe, have a bunch of friends that do and it is magic to me to watch them work. You did a great job on those stripes.

An amazing cast of skills !!! See your video each week is a very definite high point. Again, thank you for bringing us along.
Thanks again for such a great video,good music also.
Dave, another great video and another of your many talents just amaze me.
Thanks so much for videoing this.
His voice inflection at the very end indicates he is a fancy boy.
thanks for the end of a good week.
*You sure do have a good feel for the freehand sweeping work with the pen brush for the pinstriping.*
Thanks for all your videos. Merry Christmas
Impressive striping work Dave.
It is getting to be a lost art. My old boss use to have all of his semi done that way even after vinyl came out. Keep up the great video's
Pimp my ride, 1890's style. Nice job, as always!
great talent and great to see your work!!!

Amazing freehand detail work. I know how hard that is, very well done.
Great stuff. Looks real classy.
Ah, so good to see it going back to what it was. You said there was one coming and I've been waiting patiently for this. Makes me smile. :)
Once again, one of the highlights of of my day. Always fascinating, and this time the added bonus of some really nice, soothing music. Very well done!
Yet another talent revealed, very nice, thanks!
….13
Excellent work!
And beautiful, too.
Watching!! Tasteful and understated.
I like the stripping better than painting the iron black. Gives it a light elegant touch.
Your varied skills continue to impress me and make you an artist in your own right. All great artists sign their work in some way and I wonder what you do?

Magic hands......my hero
No end to the skills!
Really great job
Chip Foos would be impressed!
Beautiful , are you using One Shot paint ?
Very nice work sir.....
Very cool job sir 👍🏼🍻

I had been looking forward to a visit since our first conversation a few months ago when we spoke about my Borax wagon. Really bummed out that it didn't work out.
Such skill! My hands shake too much for that!
love to watch your work and i have seen that bugler striper before if i remember right it was my great uncles wish i knew where it is.
Beautiful work . If I tried to do that it could end up all black to cover up my mistakes lol. Best wishes from south Devon in the uk
That running gear looks identical to the Studebaker running gear...yes?

thank you for uploading
i dont think rembrant has anything to worry about lol just kidding your paint job looks great.
Have you ever made a Full size Stage Coach, like in the old westerns? Or a Conestoga Wagon?
What music is that in the back ground? I like it.
Once repaired how long do they last? Awesome work.
Did you start as a wood worker and grow into the coach trade?
It would be interesting to have a history of how the business came about.
If the standards hold the body on side - side, what holds in on front - back?
I love it.
I see why the 1/4" stripes. I am sure that I would need the same.
Brilliant!
