The Last Steps For Setting 10 Foot Logging Tires | Engels Coach Shop
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 พ.ย. 2023
- We might be shrinking these 10 foot logging tires in the rain, so we need a good spot for the fire and tire setting process. Traditionally I hot shrink wagon tires behind the shop, but because of mud and limited space we've got another location selected that I hope will work. I just have to move everything there. No small feat for such large wheels. Thanks for coming along!

An anvil, hammer and a plan,eyeballing is good enough, love
I am following your channel for a long time, but during the last video it suddenly dawned on me that your camera work is outstanding! I have always taken that for granted, but it is a great achievement that you move through your set from different angles and viewpoints. Great work!! thank you.
Thank you!
@dianeengel4155: Some of us know "the rest of the story". Everyone knows the content is awesome but not everyone knows where most of the production value comes from. Thanks for your contribution.
👍👏🇺🇲
If I recall correctly, the Engels where making wagon DVDs in the '90s. They have a lot of hours around the cameras and the shop.
Great camera work, but the audio is getting worse and worse. I watch on my TV with a good receiver doing the sound through some high end speakers. Compared to other channels, your voice sounds like your microphone is under a pillow. Are you using a lapel mic under your shirt? Maybe the muffled tone is because you are wearing your winter shirt, lol
Could you expect anything less than perfect from him.
Fun fact : the Holt company that built these wheels is still around today , but they're now known as Caterpillar
Pretty neat.
And if you grew up in Stockton, CA, you might have heard about Benjamin Holt.
Holy and Best merged to become Caterpillar.
I think it’s neat that they are Holt . I never ran anything that said Holt on it . But I have ran lots that said Caterpillar on them . My favorite tractors. Thanks Dave
I think the warranty would be up by now.

clearview--Thanks, I thought I was seeing things.
I have been blessed all these years (I am now only 63) to be able to work by myself for most of my life. ( I have basically worked construction and manufacturing all of these years ) People always asked me if I ever got lonely…Nope! Just got more work done!
You Sir, remind me of me!
Now I know why I love this channel.
Best of luck with the party!
I'm not much of a party goer these days, but that is sure one party I'd be up for, even in the rain!
Cheers from Tokyo!

I wish I could be there to watch, and to help if needed. Your video setting the tire on the Borax wagon wheels was great, I figure this one will be even better although there aren't as many wheels.
One thing in particular strikes me about all your wagon and wheel work. It's like nothing else exists at that moment, so you can devote all your concentration and consideration to the job at hand. I sure wish I had that in my life right now.
Been many times during this project that I have thought to myself, "where is your daughter, she would be useful here."
Glad to hear she is coming up to help, she impressed the hell out of me last time she was on.
I think you be okay fingers cross hope everything go's well.
You have me checking Joliet weather these days.
A construction company I worked for had a saying about rain. "We don't get rained out, we get rained on.😆
You've done some amazing work on those wheels. It's hard to imagine how heavy those wheels will be when you're done assembling all the parts. Stay safe.
What are the big iron rings for?
@@ronelchadwick7110 To protect the spokes from the logs.
I can’t tell you how glad I am to see a new video drop! Been watching since the borax wagons and I am still amazed by the range of your skills.
I like the second location. More room to breath and not having to be so careful around the other stuff (including the neighbors' vehicles). You'll be glad you changed the location. 💖🌞🌵😷
Wished I lived closer as I would really enjoy helping out at the tire setting party. If nothing else just staying out of the way and watching.
Cool beans, good luck on the weather.
It,s been a real pleasure watching you craft with wood (my speciality) and metal over the years. Can't wait to see these wheels upright and revolving.
Can’t wait for the setting party!!
Good luck on the tire day! ! !
About time for the kids to come back for a visit and some work.
Much respect to you for how well you did on those wheels and ALL the other wheels, wagons , stage coaches you have constructed
Got to do this before I can do that, but I can't do that before I do this. Stay safe.
Okay, I’m on my way!
I love work. I could watch it for hours!
There's a saying where I live in the North West of England when going out in the rain "Tha's not made of sugar or salt, tha'll not melt"
Dave ist ein klasse Handwerker.....Chapeau...
Getting everything ready so the help will be helpful all weekend. Got a good plan all set. Stay safe and keep both the ladies dry cause they will melt . Catch you on the next one. Fred.
HA HA HA!!!..REALY A CONVOLUTED MESS ALRIGHT 😂😮😅...I JUST LOVE THE WAY YOU GO ABOUT EXPLAINING HOW YOU ARE GOING TO MOVE ALL THAT CLUTTER SO YOU DON'T BURN 😜 DOWN THE ENTIRE PLACE...GLAD YOU BROTH IN THE BIG MACHINES FOR THE LIFE!!!...GO GET IT DONE DAVE 😉 😀 👍....
Good luck!
Fill that IBS stillage with water, and park it next to your staging area. If you pick it up to full height with the Bobcat, you'll have running water for quenching.
Thanks Dave
Just when you thought we were almost there, we learn about those rings that had to fit perfectly.Of course with Dave on this job they do fit perfectly.Thanks for letting us along for the adventure.
I agree with you. Watching those bolts drop in place was pretty amazing.
You’re not sweet enough to melt, D. 😊 Echoing another comment, the camera work and production is top notch. Fine stuff.
A special day for Joliet Montana. Yep, no doubt about it. I'd be there. Oh yea! ～ ✨🌸🌟🔥🌟🌸✨ ～.
Yep, I have never melted because of rain either! Lol I hope it not a down pour though! Thanks for the video! 😀👍
Really enjoy your channel. We lived in Montana in the 90’s. Still miss it. We visited friends in Laurel this year and drove through Joliet a couple of times.
I am blessed to be able to watch you work. You never cease to amaze me. You are extremely proficient at your craft. Keep making good videos.
I wish I could be there for the tire party. Would make a great chandelier! 😀
The wood you had that didn’t work for the weeks would make wonderful anvil stands and if some of the wood is available I am very interested. you or my favorite U tube channel
Hello,
It's always a pleasure for me to follow you and watch some of your videos when I'm lacking inspiration for a model. I'd love to see the axle on those big forest wheels. If one day you come up with the idea of producing a book containing some of these creations with plans and advice, I'd be proud to buy it, even if I live on the other side of the Atlantic... Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you offer us on your channel....
Every time I see you work in that narrow shop work area I say "this isnt his first rodeo"
Blew my mind when you stacked them nicely! Love your tire parties, ready for a biggun!
Can't wait for the video.
Note to self, never get in a bar fight with a guy that straightens 5/8" thick steel with elbow grease and a sledgehammer.
Hahaha good one ❤❤
Dave's too busy to get in bar fights but your point is well taken.
& if you noticed how short the handle was? Not a lot of leverage for a 8-10 Lb. hammer.
Yup, beware the sleeping bear inside farmers and blacksmiths.
I was reminded of a saying that my Vocational Agriculture teacher used to say. "Don't use force, get a bigger hammer." When I was in my late teens, my older brother came to the conclusion that he didn't want to fight me after watching me swinging a 12 pound sledgehammer with a 3 foot handle. It wasn't just that I was using it. I was swinging it one handed from the end of the handle. I wasn't missing the wedge that I was using to split a nearly 2 foot diameter chunk of white oak.
Thanks a lot of work
Can’t wait for the tyre setting, it is the icing on the cake to complete such a lot of really precise work where it all comes together. Well done Dave, I am sure that everyone that assists you will also count it as a personal experience working with you. Just outstanding.
"I've never melted because of rain."
Here in Western Oregon, if we melted because of working in the rain, no work would be done for 7 months of the year. 😁
That's on a dry year, yeah?

Morning Dave and Diane, there is a lot of thought and develpment in the design of those wheels, I wonder what the first person to break some spokes on one had to say to the wheel wright that had to take it apart again to repair it, and who came up with the idea of the metal rings to deflect the trees and branches from going in the spokes.
Wishing you a good week. Regards Richard 🇬🇧
Once again thanks for the video.
Great Video - Waiting for the tire party!
I really wish you are able to do a live cam of the setting, but i'm looking forward to next Friday
Crazy! One shell is about 3/4. Metric tons. Amazing.
Been watching you for a very long time I never thought you could build a bigger wheel than the 1080lb borax wheel but how wrong I was 1480lb and in future video you on on about a 12ft/ 14 wheel. It will be nice to see you all together doing the tyre last time was at the back of your place with your daughter and friends on the borax wheels. Take care. 😀👍👍
God’s Speed John Glenn!!
Getting so close now!
Nice job Dave ,looking forward to your tyre cook out . Great video 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for the video. May GOD bless.
your tire-setting party will be a lot more fun to watch than to work on... I can't wait!!!
All the best for the Big Day, Mr Engles.
I'm following along from logging country here in Gisborne, New Zealand.
Good luck!!
gotta keep thinking.
"Winter is coming." - Eddard Stark
Nicely done. Thank you for sharing. Wish you well.
I hope you have a dry day the cold isn't such a problem as your having a bonfire. Can't wait to see them completed. Then what's next
Hope the weather holds out for you guys!
The same applies to your common or garden wagon wheels of course, but it's amazing to think these massive heavy wheels were once a common logging tool and were moved about without machinery. Those additional rings just dropped on no problem, Cheers
I always love the tailgate party tyre cooking! Those wheel’s size is very apparent when you were walking IN them to set those rings.
I am 68 and swear the weather forecasts were more accurate when I was a kid than they are now and of course there were no satellites, no doppler radar and not really any computers used to do the forecasts then.
When I was a kid there was a guy on the radio every morning, called Farmer Gray and he would guess the weather. He was often more accurate than the TV weather man.
Years later he admitted that all he did was call his friend in Atlanta and ask what it was doing there, and guess it would be doing the same here in a few hours. Most of the time our weather comes straight up I-85.
Hi Dave and Diane, ❤ nice to see you out in the field away from the shop . It's much safer . Looking forward to seeing the party, it's a shame we couldn't get there ,hope it all goes well ❤ ALL THE BEST MIKE & JANE . 🎉
Love your channel. I have been a fan for years. I thought I might make it through there one of these days to say “Howdy”. My dad Jerry was a part of your community until last April. So the odds of my wife and I getting that way have narrowed. Good luck with the tire setting and be careful. James Garner Louisville Ky
Jerry Garner?
It will be a lot fun setting the tires. Planning a head is very important. Great job thank you.
I will be right here for the tire setting and hope the rain holds till after.
Love all your stuff in your yard!!!
Pretty AMAZING what you doing. I wish to be there when you set those tires on the wheels. It is going to be an amazing party!
Cool video. Looking forward to the tire setting.
i have really enjoyed this build
They look so good.
A great job. I will enjoy your tire party.
Nice meinte respect ❤❤
As sweet as you are Dave it’s hard to believe you’re not made of sugar. 😉
Hopefully the “Weather Man” is wrong and you have a dry day.
I would so love to come over from New Zealand to help you for a few weeks. What a treat to see you work! Thank you.
All looking good .that looks like a lot better place to set the tyres.
Lots hope the rain stays off 👍👍👍👍👍
Like you, I always gotta do something first before I do what I planned to do. HA!
Good luck and waiting to see how it goes.
An interesting episode, thanks Dave. Another year is come and going. I didn't notice whether there was a wood fire going in the shop. Being in CA, I don't usually need the wood fire in the shop yet, but, in another few weeks I will. Makes it a nice cozy place to work, and glue dries better. Thanks for taking us along on this project.
Kudos. You play background music as it should be played. Very enjoyable video.
You could have played Wagner's 'Ring Cycle' for this episode!
Daves got balls.
David, good luck with the rim setting.
Can't wait to see another tire setting party even if it rains.
I would like to be their for the setting,thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎
I don't know how much rain you got, but, we had a couple of inches out of that storm. On top of the 15 inches of snow that fell earlier! Plenty of moisture! Reminds me of the coast, snow then rain to melt it!
Nothing like watching Dave beat the snot out of steel 😜
You should set that pallet of pallet wood in the middle of the tires and use that for the fire! Great video, as to be expected from a perfectionist!
You might want to get some rain gear for everyone.
Cant wait.
Dave like your new area for setting the tires, The only thing I do not see is the water hose.
This should be quite a big fire. Add of more pounds for the ring clamps.
😄👍 Gripping stuff.
What I don't understand is why those two bracing rings are both on the same side of the wheel. I would have expected the smaller ring to be on the opposite side and bracing the spokes on that side. So what do I know? Obviously, nothing! But this has been, and continues to be, a most fascinating build. Thank you so much.
As he explained, they are there to face inward to keep the log ends from swinging into the spokes and breaking them
If I recall correctly, these belong to a logging arch. The arch would protect them internally from suspended load. The bands would help them 'skid' by and bump off of trees and other debris in passing.
Correction: apparently I was wrong. Looks like the bands go 5o the inside of the arch to protect from swinging, turning log ends. In the attached clip there is one very brief clip of an arch with the inside/outstide spokes. th-cam.com/video/U1ZlnE200ms/w-d-xo.htmlsi=msvwlGW9FOYbgvND
@@jimmybryan6760 Thank you for that explanation, that now makes sense. How I managed not to hear that in the video I have no idea; I guess my mind was wandering at that moment. I must pay closer attention in future.
It would be fun to get in on one of your wheel setting parties sometime!
We will be doing one more for the 12 foot wheel at some point. You are welcome to come.
@@dianeengel4155We would really enjoy that and would love to come help. Do you have an idea of when?
