- This cannon wheel needs 4 new felloe sections, a new spoke and the tire reset, from setting too long in one place. Cannon wheels are a bit different from farm wagon wheels in that they have greater dish built into them to accommodate the higher stress placed on them in military situations.

I'm 80yrs young and never had seen such perfect craftsmanship do your craft so well. Excellent A.From Ohio.
After watching many videos on carpentry,I have come to the conclusion that a wheelwright is the ultimate example of precision carpentry.
gee... you get to play with fire, play with water and hammer on things! great job, it is fun to watch you work, and very educational too!
Love watching you build wheels and wagons I was raised up in west Texas on a horse working ranch when one of our wagons would need repair of rough or wreck my dad used what ever we had around to do the repairs I have been watching ur channel at the start of borax wagons great reminder from when I was a
Young man thanks again
Who could possibly give a thumbs down to this incredible craftsman’s work?
Excellent craftsmanship! The quality of your videos is awesome. You have "BACGROUND MUSIC" that's actually in the background, and only in places where it adds to the video. Camera angles are perfect to show us what's happening. Keep 'em coming, and I'll keep watchin'!!
We have a wagon / buggy / almost anything that's horse drawn museum here in Blanco Texas. Your videos have inspired me to go there for a visit. It's only 15 minutes from where I live. No more excuses for not visiting!
Sir you never cease to amaze me with your skills and that mix of old and new world shop tools from a belt driven drill press to and an air sander is a hoot.
Your and extremely rare find these days.
Immer wieder schön anzusehen...LG aus Germany
Doesn't matter how often I watch you making or fixing a wagon wheel I watch to the end. Fascinating. Total respect Dave.
I May have said it before.. But you are a true MASTER of your trade
Never get tired of watching a craftsman at work. Great video as usual thanks
A few years ago I was down at Vicksburg battlefield and being the carpenter I am I was inspecting the wheels pretty close and wondered how they could look so good. Now I know and what I didn't realize, at the time, that there were people still building wheels.
Enjoying your channel,
Lee
The finest, most accurate piece of equipment in that shop is between this man's ears.
what a fine pair of glasses
A stubby Ikea pencil? Lol.
@@RyuuHatake lol
I find this very addictive to watch thanks for sharing 👍
As the son of a German cabinet maker and now a lifelong metal fabricator (35years) I just find this channel relaxing,fascinating and fulfilling in many ways! Sounds funny but just listening to his voice and his dry sense of humor is just great! Oh and his shop looks like mine does sometimes, but note that he knows where everything is (that’s because his wife is not coming behind him to “clean up” the mess!!!)
Never get tired of watching the craftsmanship you place in all your works.
Sir, It was both a pleasure and a education to see you repair this 57 inch cannon wheel. As a part owner of a cannon that has a similar problem with one of our wheels it gives me a greater appreciation of what it takes to repair a wheel. Too bad your not closer to Georgia, my wheel would be in your shop next week. Thank you for posting this educational video.
This man is not only an artist, while some his tools are more modern than those that were previously used, but he takes his time to replicate the original design. I’m sorry to say but he is the last of a dying breed, but the icing on his job is “he truly enjoys his chosen craft”. My hat and admiration go with him. Thank you for sharing your art work.
My late Father was a wheelwright and coachbuilder. I never really appreciated what he did when I was a teenager. He would always mix his own paints and colors and would never sell a wheel unpainted. He believed that done correctly the painting greatly extended the life of a wheel. Thank you for filming your work.
Three of us Started THE WESTERN CANADA WHEEL WRIGHT ASSOC YEARS AGO .I AM THE ONLY ONE LEFT OF THE ORIGINAL ONES I MADE OVER 60 MACHINES TO PUT THE RUBBER ON THE WHEELS I got too busy so havn’t been active for some time .This guy is a real pro and has all the tools which helps
Incredible craftsmanship... and I'm talking about the filmmaking. Superb videos!
Very interesting. From a retired marine engineer in New Zealand.
Wow, you're not only an expert with wheels, but also with video making.
Only a true craftsman could cut those tiny shims by eye so even! Amazing!
A comment on hand cut shims.. you get to pick the best fit 'cause they're not all the same!! :-)
exactly the comment I was going to write, amazing
i was thinking the same thing
@@EngelsCoachShop o how much is the diameter of the wheel as the diameter of the iron for heating . Thanks
And it was played in slow mo...#pro. ;)
I always love the slo-mo of the steel tire hitting the ground, please tell me you have never hit your foot. Please, Jim.
All the steps it takes is absolutely unbelievable, a lot of hard & precise work. Beautiful clear wood also.
It's a pleasure to watch you build and repair these wheels.
God-given Craftsmanship
I found your channel today, I am honestly amazed at the complexity of wagon / cannon wheels, and am in awe of your wonderful talent and craftsmanship. Thank you for time and efforts to post these videos.
Not all cannon wheels are created equal,,, but they are all HEAVY !
I'm fascinated to watch a true craftsman which are not common any more.
Thank you.
I’ve watched you build wheels for so long now but, you know, it never gets old. Seeing that “Engels Coach Shop” notification pop up starts a whole ritual. It means it’s time to relax in my favorite chair, a cup of coffee or a beer or what have you close to hand, shed the worries of the day and watch a master at work. It’s good medicine, and I thank you for it!
I agree. I get a good education.im a .master ship builder an i use his technique in my wooden boats especially when i make ship wheels.
You are a master, sir! I was in Billings last week and I wanted to drive to Joliet to visit your shop but I was there for some work on my back and just didn’t have time. When I go to Billings I have my must-see places, Stella’s, Cracker Barrel, Scheels and Cabelas. Now I’ll have to add a trip to Joliet to my list. :)
Once again you technic and skills you have developed to make repairs and make the wheel better than it was before are amazing.
I never thought I'd enjoy watching wagon wheels and canon wheels being crafted. I really enjoy watching all manner of craftsmanship though so maybe I should have. While I dont happen to possess these kinds of skills I truly appreciate them. So many are a truly dying art and to see someone do it so effortlessly just puts me in awe. Thanks for letting me in to enjoy your work sir!
you are an incredible craftsman and an inspiration to a fledgling wood worker
Witam i pozdrawiam!!Bardzo rzetelna i dokładna naprawa koła od wozu,duża wiedza i cierpliwość daje zawsze dobry efekt,będzie służyć na lata!Dobry pokaz Video..Tak trzymać!
You are a true craftsman and a joy to watch. Along with others, I am amazed at what you do with no help from others most of the time.
A true Craftsman and Artist....
My grandfather used to do the work you are doing - in the 1920th. As a woodworker I understand some of the work involved. Had no idea what else he (you) did - amazing! Thanks for showing me and you certainly increased my respect for grandpa..
This should have all the excitement of watching grass grow but I find it oddly intriguing and satisfying. Enough to warrant subscription
I have never made a wheel in my life but after watching you I am tempted to have a go, time to make a wheelbarrow I think, ha ha
You are great at your job and I like to watch your videos
Just starting watching this channel. I know absolutely nothing that a wheelwright craftsman such as yourself do. Fascinating! Thank you. Kindest Regards Henry Cooper from the UK.
What a craftsman... His patience is truly amazing
Now , I have a theory that every wagonner , wheelwright, coach builder and horse wrangler that ever was comes to sit with you a spell and puts something on your bench to let you know they're about . 🤔🇬🇧 . That wheel came out well . Great video .
Truly enjoy watching a master working at his craft. Amazing precision.
Well done! My family were wheelwrights, farriers and blacksmiths here in England.
I don't know how I got here. I don't understand a lot of what I just saw. I consider myself somewhat of a handyman. This was WAY beyond my skillset. What I do know is that this was a true professional applying his skills and it was amazing. I subscribed right away. This was so peaceful and rewarding to me. Thank you.
Most creative so called artists have tattoos. Finally a true artist. No tattoos. Love your repairs. Been a rancher many years and many special tools and fixtures. My complements. I still got my fingers too.
I still find it amazing how metal expands when heated, and how this effect can be used to tighten steel rims onto wheels. It's really like magic.
No es magia es el efecto que tienen los metales en dilatarse ,un saludo
Hi. New subscriber here. Watching this video, it occurred to me how difficult it must have been for an army to do repairs in the field. (I was in the Army Engineer Corps.) Great videos, I enjoy watching them.
I love to watch your videos. I enjoy not only the craftsmanship, but also your talent in videography. I loved the shots of you coming to work. The setup of the cameras to catch the proper angles was excellent.
I am very impressed with the way you put the tyre on.Not a bonfire in sight,no blinding smoke and gallons of water used.
The work you do is top notch ... hope you have someone to follow in your footsteps.
Incredible workmanship.
"I needed a tool to seat the spokes, so I made one". LOL. Respect.
Only 640,000 views , cmon guy s this dude is a complete legend !!
As many a lazy man has said "I could watch you work all day". I am fascinated by the way you work the wheels through to being whole again. Thank you. :)
It's a pleasure watching a Master Craftsman at work!
Wow !! This man has some serious carpentry skills. A genius ! Discovered his you tube site , now can't stop watching him. Absolutely brilliant !
I love his videos. Addictive stuff.
I've said it time and again .. you sir are a Master of the Trade, no doubt about it ...
hope you live another million years your work is beyond the best
Dave, once again, thanks for showing another piece of craftmanship. I’m happy again after this video. Thank you for sharing this with us😁
I have to say I find these vids oddly satisfying. If I lived closer I would be so happy to make sawdust with you. Very logical jobs.
Excellent work done 👍, single person without assistant, very grateful,🙏
watch this gentleman work and learn like never before
a true craftsman cant believe it how great a craftsman he is
Es grato levantarse e ir a tu trabajo que te gusta sin ninguna pereza
Poco a poco iremos perdiendo todos los oficios artesanales!
Hello from Scotland. Absolutely fantastic. I could watch you all day. Can't wait for your next project.
My grandfather used too make spoked wheels for horse carts etc,never saw him do it as he had passed when I was born,but all my family involved in carpentry,wood haulage etc,n I love making things from wood too.🇮🇪🇮🇪👏👏👍👍
That's what you call a Master Craftsman - excellent
I learned / learnt lol loads from this for model - making purposes. Excellent video.
A true Master of his craft!
Knowledge ,experience and Golden hands!!!
My respect to You!
P. s. Greetings from Sunny St. Petersburg-Russia!!
I had no idea that wheel making so effectively utilized the expansion of metal under heat along with precise measurements to secure everything in place and I find that fact absolutely fascinating.
Than word tire comes from the metal that tied everything together ;)
That's one of the reasons shims go on the compression side :)
You Sir are what Makes America Great, thanks for sharing . Years ago, I got in Civil War re enacting with my grandson. Still have all the muskets swords and especially the Union uniform. I am 81 now and too old for all that. My grandson had a direct relative to the civil war, with the same name.
BRILLIANT TRADESMENT.
Old time craftsman for sure.
Just getting pulled into the rabbit hole I found your videos and now I can't stop till I see them all. Master craftsmanship seems to be a dying thing these days so finding ya'll gives me hope for future generations.
True master craftsman beautiful work
experrience makes the work go faster and smooth with no wasted errors.I see you did the restoration on the wheel while you were still working on the set of cannon wheels; double tasking is no plroblem for you. Looking forward to your next video, such fun!
Another great repair, and a good history help with the diagnostics. God bless you and your family Dave.
A round peg in a square hole I can handle, but watching your skills displayed with such consumate ease are truly breathtaking. One prays they live on.
These videos are equal to the most fascinating and well filmed videos, i have yet seen.
Is it just me, or has this guy done this before. Definitely a master craftsman at work here. Thanks for letting us watch.
Oh, and thanks for having the music nicely muted.
Everytime I watch you I am amazed at how gifted you are as a craftsmen. well done.
Very satisfying to watch some one with so much skill and craftsmanship
Another wonderful job by a humble working man!
I was going to ask if you needed an apprentice until you mounted that tire single-handed! It was a joy to watch. Thank you.
It's amazing just to see you work. Incredible woodwork experienced!
I'm blown away by that freehand shim cutting. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Thanks, I must say you are a true craftsman. This is a dying art.
👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks again Dave, just enjoying your video again and it’s still great!!
You are a true master .... A joy to watch your exclusive craft. Also thank you for a great and a wonderful background music that make your videos ever so greater. My hats off for you sir.....excellent 5 stars all the way 👼👼👼👼👼
Wonderful skills and methods of one person.
you are truly a piece of art just like your work
First time I have ever seen a wheel tyred single handedly. Excellent work. John
James C. McIntosh / April 2020
Mr. Engels. best skilled Craftsman I've ever watched. GREAT show. I was amazed at the way you put mounted the wheel to the
stand. I'd still be attaching the chains and cranking the "come along". Thanks again for the demos.
7:13 Gotta love a man that has spare spokes in the shop.
I have no background or ability with any of this but it was relaxing and enjoyable to watch a master at work. it's so rare these days to become a true master at anything.
