Undoubtedly, but, definitely, the Master Craftsman,always, mentally & physically, demonstrated the essential ingredients of perfect design, and precision workmanship.
I haven't been in a wood shop for decades. This is so real, about two thirds of the way through I realised I can smell the wood being worked. I know it's in my mind, but I'm sniffing the air with my nose to get a better smell of it.
Pretty sure that he could, but the flip side is that a lot of those old wagons were not standard. Each builder came up with there own solutions to issues. I think that we are keeping those various solutions by copying is a great way to preserve the history. Edit: Merry Christmas to you and your family too Gene
Yes, Peter, I believe many of those craftsmen did not work in a production shop, and their approach to building carriages was more like that of building houses than building machines, so no two were identical. As long as they worked and looked good, it didn't matter if they were a little different. The larger shops of course had their cookie-cutter jigs and patterns, and they had established designs and customer expectations to meet, so there was a lot less variation and room for "personal expression".
In many a mill there is a ripsaw operator, and a ripsaw tail. Greetings to Dave the ripsaw operator. And greetings to the ripsaw tail also played by Dave. Nice camera work too. Thanks Dave and to Dianne and all
Some assembly required... a perfect statement for the Christmas season. MERRY Christmas to you and your Family. And thank you so much for giving us the enjoyment of watching a true craftsman at work. Take care and I look foward to the next installment of "Some Assembly Required"
I like the way that the wagon parts flow out of his pencil! He could make fine furniture with His chainsaw, horse shoe rasp, hacksaw, sand paper and a grinder with a flap disc,and his mallet and chisels.
In my years as a tool and die maker, I've had my share of "broken part prints". It is what separates the novices from the craftsmen. I am looking forward to many hours of viewing pleasure next year.
MR. ENGELS, I have so enjoyed watching you build all the various projects this year and I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
OMGosh! I think Dave is performing a little Christmas Miracle himself!!! I may be exaggerating a bit...BUT ALL I SEE IS DRIFTWOOD! Lol! Great video and as always, Thanks for Sharing! :)
Not a wasted movement. You are a pleasure to watch.not sure what people expected to find when the sent you these "templates" though. You must need to be an artist to see the finished product.
It is amazing that you can take a junky old piece of wood and be able to extract the correct dimensions for the new piece. I have yet to see the end of your talents, skills, and abilities. If I bring you a steering wheel, can you build me a new car?
Merry Christmas to all And may we all have a Happier and Healthier New Year. I do enjoy watching you work through the process, Thanks for sharing. Do you have any difficulties sourcing materials? I imagine your lumber costs outweigh your steel costs. Aren't you folks due a vacation.
Keen eye..practised hand...observing all nuances and designed intent...forensic and reconstructive carpenter, and engineering the result with amazing precision..!! Your thru drill accuracy -- WIZARDRY STILL THRILLS...LOL.
Gotta tell ya Dave, if your sander ever goes missing in the middle of the night, you'll probably find it in my shop 1,275 miles away. I am so jealous of that machine.
You are amazing Dave, not only are you a master craftsman but the way you measure up a decayed wooden bolster and then disappear, for just a few moments then reappear with a clean pre milled piece of ash just the right size for a blank. Wow, you must have a storage room full of ash?
Thanks for the video, Dave. Always educational and pleasant to watch. I wrote Santa a letter and told him I want a pencil like the one you use at 11:36. That is slick!
Another enjoyable and in many ways a tutorial. I always spot something you do that sticks in my mind to pigeon hole for my own use. Thanks for taking the time and making it for us to learn and to enjoy. Merry Christmas Dave. to you and your wife and family. Tomorrow we give out Blessings for his birth and the blessings he gives to us All God Bless. ECF.
3 minutes after the video was posted there were 117 views. By the time I got to the 5 minute mark that number was over 1100. Do we wait impatiently for Dave's Friday post? Nahhh.... Merry Christmas Dave, Diane and my fellow viewers. May the new year be a healthy happy and prosperous one!
Mr. Engels, (i hope i spelled your name right), you showed how you make new out of old material. I love watching you work your magic. I wonder , though, why some parts are bent certain ways or are off center etc. I understand a little about camber and caster but I don’t know why the patterns you are working on on your Christmas Eve show aren’t straight but have a curve. It is prolly cuz it is something you take for granted. Once years ago I signed up for a bear hunt in Idaho. I knew that I knew nothing about horses which were essential for access to the hunting area. I found a man who was a real cowboy here in Georgia. I asked him to teach me what I needed to know to take on a pack in hunt in the mountains on a horse. He taught me a lot. Considering how little I knew then or now that is not surprising. What remarkable to me is that he was able to train me at my level which was zero. He had to go back to a way earlier time when was learning how to ride and handle horses. He taught me basic skills though he was a master trainer of cutting horses. Some people forget the time when they didn’t know and it’s hard for them to go back there. I see you doing the same thing in your craft- that is going back to the basics.
Your many years of experience sure shows through in this video! A real old world craftsman at work in these "modern" times. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, I would like to say I enjoy your videos and have learned so many things about wagons and buggies. I don’t think there is much that you don’t know about how to make them like new again. I have been in love with buggies since I was twelve years old and went to visit a cousin of mine and found out that she had a buggy in her living room and that it could still be pulled by a horse if she wanted it to. So I am so glad that I found your channel because it has been so enlightening.
Buenas tardes desde ESPAÑA, gracias por todos los videos de usted que son muy culturales para aprender muchos oficios en todo lo que hace le doy las gracias, Merry Christmas Felices Pascuas y Un Prospero Año Nuevo Lleno De Paz y Trabajo Para Todos Gracias de todo Corazón...............
Thanks for sharing with us Dave, you do excellent work in making patters from very little that's left for you. Keep up the good work and videos. Happy New Year to you all. Fred
Undoubtedly, but, definitely, the Master Craftsman,always, mentally & physically, demonstrated the essential ingredients of perfect design, and precision workmanship.
50% pattern 50% ingenuity 100% craftsmanship
Yuletide Greetings Dave, Dianne and Family.
This channel never gets old for me. I wait for the next.
That transition from solid to cut on the new sand board at 11:30... Just perfect!
Thank you for creating this archive, it's a national treasure
I think sometimes Dave does magic .
Merry Christmas, I could watch you for hours, you notice I didn’t say help! lol
I haven't been in a wood shop for decades. This is so real, about two thirds of the way through I realised I can smell the wood being worked. I know it's in my mind, but I'm sniffing the air with my nose to get a better smell of it.
I think that you could build a complete wagon from memory with out any pattern. Merry Christmas to you and you family.
Pretty sure that he could, but the flip side is that a lot of those old wagons were not standard.
Each builder came up with there own solutions to issues. I think that we are keeping those various solutions by copying is a great way to preserve the history.

11:30, that was a This Old Tony cut, made me smile.
I never heard This Old Tony cut before. Guessing there is an interesting anecdote for it. I did find a neat element. That must be some sharp pencil.
In many a mill there is a ripsaw operator, and a ripsaw tail. Greetings to Dave the ripsaw operator. And greetings to the ripsaw tail also played by Dave. Nice camera work too. Thanks Dave and to Dianne and all
And thanks for having us! Merry Christmas Dave and family.
I quite enjoy these rebuilding archeology videos.

Thanks for posting. It must take a lot of effort to film, edit, and post. We and history are indebted to you.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR 2022. TO YOU AND FAMILY AND EVERYONE ON EARTH,
In my years as a tool and die maker, I've had my share of "broken part prints". It is what separates the novices from the craftsmen. I am looking forward to many hours of viewing pleasure next year.
What I enjoy about this channel is I learn these little tips on how to do certain things that I get to put into my mental toolbox.
Another relaxing Saturday show :-)
I prefer when you do the voice overs. I have learned a lot from you.
11:25 I REALLY have to get me one of those magic pencils! LOL
Clean cut every time 🙂 !
MR. ENGELS, I have so enjoyed watching you build all the various projects this year and I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thank you Dave for the gift of your time, patience and knowledge
OMGosh! I think Dave is performing a little Christmas Miracle himself!!! I may be exaggerating a bit...BUT ALL I SEE IS DRIFTWOOD! Lol! Great video and as always, Thanks for Sharing! :)

Not a wasted movement. You are a pleasure to watch.not sure what people expected to find when the sent you these "templates" though. You must need to be an artist to see the finished product.
from Scotland, merry Christmas one and all...

Merry Christmas to all

I do enjoy watching you work through the process, Thanks for sharing.

Gotta tell ya Dave, if your sander ever goes missing in the middle of the night, you'll probably find it in my shop 1,275 miles away. I am so jealous of that machine.
Give us a yell when you are busting in, I want the saw bench.
Thanks Dave God Bless America MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL
You are amazing Dave, not only are you a master craftsman but the way you measure up a decayed wooden bolster and then disappear, for just a few moments then reappear with a clean pre milled piece of ash just the right size for a blank. Wow, you must have a storage room full of ash?
You would think someone like this would have the sense to not wear jean shirts with jean pants. He is kind of making a fool of himself.
F M what is your problem?
@@edricoddot I just feel bad for the guy. I am thinking he is on the LGBTQ spectrum. I will feel pretty bad of that is the case.
Well, I can bet he's not.
Happy Holidays!😎🤙🕉
