I admire your craftsmanship you are the first person I followed on you tube and I still enjoy your content 3 years later ❤
I have loved watching you build this wagon with nothing but a few rotten timbers, rusty irons and grainy old photos to serve as your guide.
Sure would like to see that coach being puller around by a fine team of horses when it is completed. Maybe a follow up later?
Amazing craftsman ship I enjoy watching
I look forward to your video's just like a kid at Christmas.
I am constantly amazed by your knowledge and ability to make accurate assumptions based on previous work and a faded picture, and also your ability to work unaided.
Fascinating stuff. I really enjoy it.
I, too, would like to see this mud wagon pulled by a four hitch team of horses 🐎 when it's all completed 👍. I really like how you tell how this fits together peace by peace.
Love watching you work the puzzle! Very impressive! Beautiful work!
Yea, what Michael said!!!
THANK YOU
I love this guy! He would encourage me to do blacksmithing, but I'm way too old.
Beautiful reproduction !! Your videos are always very interesting !!
Pushing in on 200K; well deserved when it gets there. Cheers Dave
Thanks for taking some time to visit a few days ago. Would of enjoyed to visit a couple hours. Great work as usual.
The excitement to see the finished project is building. Wanting to compliment Diane on the editing. 👍👍👍
Wiley Coyote Thank You, but Dave does it not me.
Once again thanks for the video.
`Figuring out the puzzle one piece at a time. Very nice job you are doing Sir.
Great work. Love the thought process. I would say there isn't really a right or wrong way as the fine details were left to the blacksmith to create the end product based on the function of the coach. Thanks very much for sharing.
It's getting so close! Every episode, I am getting more excited to see it finished! 👍😁👍
Great craftsman work and you are very skilled in what you do.
Dave. This has been so Interesting and fascinating to watch you build the mud wagon My grandfather Far Far was a wheel right in Denmark He went by the name of Wheelwright Nielsen Thank You Sur. You are a true craftsman
What a neat series; I had never even heard of a mud wagon before you started with a pile of broken wood and rusty iron. WOW!
I love watching the process you use to determine exactly where to place the hoops and irons. It demonstrates how an inch more or less and + or - 5 degrees can improve the flow of the wagon design.
I often mockup custom pieces also. It helps me build confidence that the finished work will be pleasing.
My creations have a !it of trial and error!
This old Miles City boy sure appreciates your work and beautiful craftsmanship. Burch Ray Palmer
Loving this project, thanks
Excellent figuring based on a photograph
Looking sweet. Thanks!
It's remarkable how you can configure everything from a photograph. You make the process so easy to understand. It's always a pleasure to watch you work. Stay safe.
Lots of decision making and experiment making to get things just right. thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Thank you for sharing, Mr Engels. It is allways a pleasure to watch!
Gonna be an awesome coach
Hey Diane your husband's work at inspiring others has succeeded when I went to Weaver wagon and told them I wanted to start a carriage shop and talked with everyone there and showed them some of the stuff I've done they want me to try my laser engraving to place their logo on the hubcaps of the gypsy caravan they are building
Nice!
I love watching your program. Reminds me a lot of my Dad. Union carpenter for 46 years, finish carpenter the last 15. He got me into wood working.
The spatial relationships are tricky. Fascinating to watch you sort them out.
Have fun and we'll see you next.
I'm all caught up with the coach updates... time to watch them all from the start again I guess.
You are an amazing craftsman. The videos of your work are wonderful; however, they don't compare to seeing it in person. I recently had a chance to stop at Laws Museum during a trip to Nevada. Seeing the Borax wagons up close and personal really is a sight to behold! I hope that I get a chance to visit your shop someday before you retire.
This has been a fun adventure!
Lookin' good brother, some nice progress right there. ✌🇦🇺
Excellent work at your calculations and design!!
Won't be long now. Excellent ideas Dave . Looks better all around. Thanks for sharing with us, keep up the good work and videos. Fred.
It is good you have the ability to design and modify while building the coach.
Hi Dave, getting closer to mounting the Body on a Under Carnage, doing a little Upholstery and Canvis work and this HITCHING HORSES or MULES TO IT, LETS GO FOR A DRIVE DAVE!, YOUR GETIN ME EXCITED AMIGO!
Dave I know you think this is a simple build but without your expertise and flat out knowledge it would be virtually impossible to build this beautiful showpiece and as you explain how you demise these items is almost wasted because only someone with your skills would understand, we as your fans just love to watch you work, have loved every second watching you on this build, hate to see it come to a close but life goes on, we all wish you the very best in life Dave a man that lives the way he works...
Thanks Dave
I really am fascinated with the blacksmithing. You are really good at it.
thanks for teaching
Sure enjoy watching your progress especially your Blacksmith work very good Dave.
The coach is looking better all the time!
Great work again Mr Engels, thank you for showing.
I do love to see how you address the change of angle on those rear support irons.
It is probably going to be a fight and maybe even stretch out the material inside the passenger bench, because of the corners being in the iron allready.
Or you cutting of the existing curved bits and welding on some new material and start from scratch.
I am curious!
(Plumber who had to redo some bends in copper pipe once in a while, always difficult choice between fight and more new material)
Waiting patiently for 3:15 minutes!! I am glad you are here!!
thank you
As a lifelong woodworker and cabinet builder I know the need for some serious math skills in layout and design. This project would be a challenge to develop the plan and not waste material and time. This was a very interesting video.
No need to thank us for watching your videos. Those of us who own various wagons and buggies appreciate you posting these videos.
I have a 1865 Studebaker wagon that’s my Chuck wagon and I have an 1870 doctors buggy and an unknown age stage wagon. One wheelwright friend of mine guessed my stage wagon was built somewhere in the 1870’s.
Coming together!
Lookin good.
very nice cant wait to see the finished product it has been a very interesting build
Seu trabalho é de um verdadeiro artesão , poucos fazem isto mesmo ai nos " Estados Unidos " . Meus parabéns pelo lindo trabalho . 🎉🐈🇧🇷
Thank you for all you do, but I particularly enjoy the iron work.
Hi Dave. Are you going to put the cross brace irons back in the drivers seat box? I remember seeing them earlier on. Regards.
12:29 a bit difficult to pull off, but you can use the foot of the anvil to curve that piece. I've a similar one, and always use that rounded section to form tight bends, works really nice tho you do have to reach over the anvil.
I love to stop in and say hi we usually stay at Cody then we have to wait for the Bear tooth to open
It opened Memorial Day weekend.
Your mind is like a steel trap when it comes to design and measurements. Beautiful work...and...I don't know if it was a coincidence or y'all actually saw my comment on the last video...either way, thanks for bringing back one of my favorite background tracks of yours- "Chocolate Cookie Jam"! Yes, I noticed.
It was for you.
¡Magnifico!
For what we can see is all most on the home straight.
tres bonne video merci
Wish he was still around to show me more. Thanks!
Nice work Dave
I love your videos! You're a true craftsman. At some point in time everyone makes a mistake. Would you care to opine on mistakes you or someone else have made?
It appears to me, when examining the photo, that the rear Irons run top to bottom, with the wood to the inside. At the top the irons curve inward and attach to the panel on the rear bow. That bracing would give lateral stability, preventing racking side-to-side at the top. It looks like there are two fasteners (bolts?) in the rear panel, left side to attach the end of the top irons ( right side of photo has a damaged/blotchy area where the other two fasteners would be, given a symmetry for mounting both irons). Maybe? I first thought these thin lines in the photo were ropes or strings, but they could be irons on edge.
I have been watching you for a while and always wondered how it felt to repair or replace parts of American history?
As you mentioned previously, that seat seems wrong. It should be 6" wider at the seat and 6" higher at the back. There would of course be Cushions. To me, visually the entire seat seems 6" too high. Galvanized chain? I think not.
Amazing craftsmanship.
The galvanized chain will help prevent what happened to the first one. A cosmetic change in furtherance of durability is good in my book.
@@scottgoodman8993 true, but not historically accurate.
@1:58... Not Galvanized... But chrome Mr Baker.
Though he's not done with it yet either...
Don't be so quick to judge every little thing my man...
@@RickOshay... Chain is NOT Chromed. Hydrogen embrittlement could occur.
Don't comment on things you don't fully understand.
@Baker... Alright Mr Know It All!
looking great
Bravo Respekt Meister ❤❤❤
Спасибо.
Hi Diane and Dave ,you're definitely going in the right direction, what padding will you put on those seats? Thick canvas or leather?
It would typically be canva, but Dave hasn't talked to the owner about that yet.
@6:20 It appears there is an iron hoop across the two rear top struts, possibly for structural rigidity?

Remember small adjustments are part of the original builder mane the same adjustments that you are doing. Like a steam locomotive may be the same plan but no parts will enter change and I think your original craftsman’s had the same problems
👍👍👍

estocraft work build it four to five times in your head estimate take good guess and bite the bullet and do it. just do it you can do it.😁🤠
Dave, you must have fire-proof hands.
Just watching 1953 western called "the silver whip" and in the first few minutes is the identical wagon you are rebuilding
John Keane ,Did those seats never have padding?
They did and will
😎😎😎👍👍👍
🐣🤗
😎😎😎👍👍👍cool
From the photo, those uprights almost look like steel conduit tubing to me. I know that's not the case because they would've been in the materials and you can tell if you look closely enough, but I'm curious if any wagons were made that way? I know conduit was invented around 1900, so I'm just wondering.
Have seen solid steel round bar bows. Trail Creek Ranch, NW Wyoming
😎
Do you seal the wood before painting it?
He'll prime it.
No offence, but I think the top is easily liftable (to make it possible to get hight for the passengers when embarking/dissembarking). I think the other photos advocates
that too.
What is your table saw arbor size, I have a crescent that has a 1 1/8th inch arbor. I have a hell of a time finding blades
✋🏼🇦🇺👍🏼
Hi Dave, I'm assuming this mud wagon went out in all kinds of weather, Summer and Winter, wind, Rany and snow whatever, any thought on how they kept the US Mail and Passengers dry?
My Cowboy Hore Loving Granddad John A. Forrest June 9, 1894 - July 1976, my Mom Margaret Ruth Forrest 1926-1969 and other Family and Friends taught me as a Kid that when riding in Cold wet weather or driving they were lots of Warm wool Clothing and used lap and Back Blankets when Driving. I can see Canvis or Oil Cloth rolldown side panels. Yor Shure storing my Curositry, Thanks!

Are wagon/coach rebuilds ever sized up? It seems the people in the old photos are so much smaller as adults than today, and I don’t mean today’s overweight people, but the wagons look built for smaller build people
here lil late.
Ok, my curiosity is piqued… in your shop you have a hydraulic press that you are seen hand pumping, but it has a motorized pump as well. What is the deal with that?
Just report that at timestamp around 14:33, I noticed your mouth was moving but no caption appeared.
