      I agree. The glue is a bit of an overkill, the wood is meant to move in the joints so that it does not shatter, this is a standard carriage making rule. But it sure looks prudy.

    I have to say Dave I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this build from a pile of scrap and the methodology into figuring it out. I must say I can't wait to see it done and at the same time it will be bittersweet to see it done. Would love to see a team of horses hooked up to it.

    I've been aware since I was fairly young that early automobiles structurally we're built on the heritage and knowledge that wagon and coach builders had accumulated. But it still amazes me that prior to WWII in most cases an automobile was still just a fancier wagon without horses. As I watch you work I can easily see the features that echoed into the early automobiles and occasionally still surface today as trim and styling that i doubt the designer knows the origin of... thanks for the excellent educational experience 😀

    I sure was pleased to see you do some hammering at the end. When you went the staple route I though about how that would save you driving at least 160 nails into bouncy hoops. And staples have some glue on the legs which is heat activated from the friction of driving them. She is coming along great! Probably better than the first time.

I'm so intrigued by all of your projects including the work at home, the barn, and so on. I retired two years ago, so I can spend some time watching projects at my leisure, and sometimes for hours. You have a lot of talents for sure. I'm twelve hours away from you in Washington state, and would love to come for a visit some time. I'm so glad that you carry on this type of work. It brings to life what I used to only imagine it would be like. Thank you for sharing this amazing work on UA-cam. You both take care, and I'll see you on the tube.
