- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 พ.ค. 2022
- Felloe bound, or Rim bound wagon wheels can be adjusted by working with rim circumferences to bring tire pressure back into the hubs. 45 joints in these borax wheels have to come together at the same time for everything to work properly.

When I watch you repair this wheel I understand why we have good away from wooden wheels. Yours is truly a lost art.
I'm glad to see that you follow the "Don't walk under a 1000 pound wagon wheel" rule.
Rules to live by
I forgot it was Friday. Best part of the day.
Hearing the hammer tone change was impressive!! America needs much more of this and much less of Johnny Depp!!
Once again Dave and Mrs. Engels, thank you for allowing us to come along in the process and God Bless the two of you.
Impressive repair/mod. It's a pleasure watching a master wheelwright doing his job.
No magic, just the skills and knowledge to do it.
Thanx Dave for the opportunity to see you do this.
PhantomPhixer? Me too. F-4N radar, VMFA-531 '77-'82.
Oooohh-rahh
just not zen, religion!
From now on, I'll think of this video every time I adjust spokes on a bicycle or motorcycle.
By every hammer blow you impart strength to the wheel. By every sound of the blow and bounce of the hammer you sense the progress of your work. Your mind, your eyes, your ears, your touch and even your smell work together to muster your strength applied to your amazing handiwork. Thanks for inviting us along.
It's always a pleasure watching a craftsman. For those of us in metric land, I had to work out what 70 thou was. It's 1.778 mm per cut. So 13 cuts = 23.114 mm
Mr Dave I don't know if I express myself correctly, via google translator, but your work is fantastic, it's exact, and leaves nothing to chance, it's complete, congratulations and keep teaching everyone who wants to do a job well done one day, I have proud to be your follower
I'm not Dave, but your translation via Google looks very good.
@@lbh002 Muito obrigado.
Ola a sua traducao esta perfeita eu sou Portugues moro em Londres Inglaterra.
Um forte abraco.
"I am proud to be your follower."
Well done Joao, well done.
I like the way you change camera angles as you explain your work, reminds me of Walter Cronkite.
Your patience and craftsmanship is off the charts amazing, and you still have seven more wheels to repeat this process. Thank you again for sharing this. Your videography, as usual, is superb, as is your editing.
Not only does he have seven more wheels to do, he also has to heat and set eight tires.
Being verrrry careful. Smart man Dave.
This must be SO satisfying to see it all fit into place again...I stopped watching your channel about 18 months ago, but I now realise on reacquaintance how good it is. Thanks Dave...
You stopped watching? We’re you unwell? So glad you found your way home. 👌👍 You have to go back and watch the rebuilding of the buggy with its leather seats and its “convertible” canopy. That series was way too cool, and the outcome was just gorgeous.
This in poetry in motion. Whatching him shave off the wrong from the wheels to bring them back to perfection. If only someone could do that to the human body! To be able to witness a true mastercraft in action is a privilege. Thank you so much Dave, way to go sir.
I think this is the first time I ever saw planned maintenance go as planned
After watching your videos for a couple of years, I'm actually starting to feel like I understand the process, and I'm thinking how much kids could learn about math by watching this kind of work and observing the techniques used to measure and calculate as repairs and adjustments are made. It's so much easier for kids to learn when they can see how something makes a practical difference.
there were a lot of practical reasons shop class was a thing up until a few decades ago.. it's too bad that SOOO many schools wood and metal shops are shutted, dusty and unused (if they still exist at all; many, the tools were sold off and the bldgs converted...)
@@timhyatt9185 That's the story where I am... and most other places. Our local high school had a great program for kids who wanted to learn shop, auto, wood working and other manufacturing disciplines. The State took away all the money, the programs were closed, and the building converted. That's why it's good to slip this kind of teaching into other classes, even math classes and history. Just enough to let kids know there are other things out there they can study outside of school.
Amen
One of the best things about Dave's work is he is showing us his knowledge and skills of his trade using the tools he has probably been using for decades, even that saber saw with its all metal case is 30 plus years old in a shop that is little more than a converted store building. So many of these trade shows show amazing work using the most modern of tools costing 10s or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in huge warehouse sized workshops with overhead gantry cranes, when people look into the shear cost of entering into those hobbies let alone the trade, most will just remain on their couch watching the TH-cam video of someone else enjoying the work, I have tools going back to my Grandfathers time and they work just as well now as many of the high dollar modern stuff.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills Dave without showing off your latest complete line of Milwaukie power tools available at a retailer near you. Though if they wanted to sponsor your amazing work you shouldn't turn them down ;)
You forget this is 2022, that saw is a hell of a lot older than 30 years, more like 50 or 60 years old. My Sawzall is 30 years old and it's half plastic.
I half expected him to grab a hand saw....but the sawzall makes sense
@@timhyatt9185 Cutting a straight line with a Sawzall is really hard, and as usual, Dave makes it look easy.
@@bigredc222 he does have the space that's already there to help guide it so that would make it easier in general....but he does make it look simple...
I just love the intro to you videos, beautiful scenery, lovely music and just the right length. Fabulous.
Still fascinating after all these years! Thanks much, Mr. Engle.
Rinse and repeat seven more times.
Thanks for showing us how it’s done.

That's a neat way to make a ton of wedges, fast! I love it! I'll have to remember that.
The only way to have made that process faster was by clamping a stop at the pencil mark.
@@larrykeenan598 No, that's not a good idea. Small pieces get wedged(..) between the stop and the blade easily.
Dave you stop amazing me in this special craft that only a few still do!!!
Your reciprocating/sawzall must be as old you. Never seen one like it and I'm past 70.
I love it. I can watch the videos from you for hours because i can't do it anymore. So you give me the plessaure of working old times.
Yep I am still here watching every video you make you skill and quality has not changed.
Ps closing in on 200,000 subs
Taking that much off the circumference of each wheel is going to throw the speedometer off. Another fascinating job, your workmanship and knowledge are second to none.
Speedo is taken from the mules hooves.
@@markneedham8726 lol
Pretty nifty for a young fella, By the time youv'e growed inta your trade you'll really be gettin' good enough to make a kid's buggy with hill - climbing ability, dessert or swamp.
Please keep doing just what you're doing - - I've waited 80 yrs for this level of information - it is pretty good that it is educational as well as informative.
Thank you from NZ
My wife said you love watching this so much you should go out and help Dave , I said, if I helped when I got through those wheels would fit the pony buggy. Beautiful work Dave thanks for sharing.
Always happy to watch Dave work. I can’t imagine how many cuts that vintage sawzall has made in its life

You are the Stradivarius of wheelrights!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
OHHHH! I got got soooo tired watching you do all that work!!!!!!!
You do such great work!
It's good you did the work with the Sawsall that was used on the original borax wagons too. Amazing it still runs after all these years.
Paul--If that was an attempt at humor, MASSIVE FAIL!!
Go play on one of those oh-so-many channels that will accept you!
@@cotton-Dave it was actually hilarious! That's an ancient Saws-All, and while not QUITE as old as the original wagons, the joke is funny! Lol
@@cotton-Dave You lose. That is great humor.
That Sawzall was certainly pre-Milwaukee. Possibly a Wen, they've been in business since 1951.
@@larrykeenan598 With that metal body you just cut off the ground prong and make it the widowmaker it was always meant to be. That's your early retirement plan right there. None of those sissy double insulated tools! When it tingles you know it's working.
I'm very glad you didn't go under that wheel when placing the stand.
Absolutely no interest in building a wagon but for some odd reason I was always fascinated by the wheels. Very fine video and well worth watching. Thanks for posting this.
SO i think well what else can i learn from this brilliant channel today...and sure enough ..cutting little wedges and inserting them into spokes... this could be used to repair old chairs too... My metal tool box runneth over! Really great work and everyone should remember to hit that LIKE button! I know 12 thousand views liked it!
It's an honor to watch such a craftsman. Buddy, you know your stuff!
As you were making and counting the cuts, I was calculating the results in my head, LOL. Makes for a fun and interactive video. Those wheels will be good as new!!
Never ever gets old or boring. I look forward to these vids and for what I learn or come to appreciate in the craft and the craft makers! cheers
JUST ABOUT THE TIME YOU THINK YOU HAVE SEEN IT ALL, THEN YOU FIND OUT, YOU GOT A LONG WAY TO GO, GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, I BETTER STICK TO RETIREMENT IT'S HARDER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK, TELL EVERYBODY HELLO...
Once again you have created another great video. Thank you so much for your hard work in creating this video and for the knowledge you pass on.
It is thrilling to contemplate that using your library, some enthusiast in the future might resurrect this trade for a while.
That is how complete your show of prosess is.
Thank you again for the pure entertainment and the inspiration that comes to me watching your work.
Now I'm anticipating another well-populated work day with the back yard fire going again!!!! I would imagine the Hub Bands aren't so snug anymore, either. Thanks, Mr. Dave!!
I can not imagine the amount of hands on experience it takes to properly diagnose and correctly repair wagon wheels having this problem. If there is a grade above master craftsman I don't know what that would be called but you sir, have reached that sort of perfection! I love watching your videos...every one of them!
It sure is a pleasure watching you work ! I learn something each time watching you ! Thanks for the videos ! 👍👍 Its like going back in time a seeing how thing were done minus our powered tools we have today !
Another Great Tutorial Dave. I love watching these types of repairs. etc. I go along and calculate things as you do them and try to figure out how I would do the repair/problem. etc. and sometimes we jive. And that makes me feel good to know my grey matter is still working and active. I just turned 79 back on April 13th. so I'll never get to use all the stuff I'm still learning as I watch you at your craft. But hey! you never know when this new found information will come in handy. Thank you for your craftsmanship and for sharing it with us Neophytes . ECF.
If you ever need a matching 1960"s worm drive saw to go with that sawzall I know I have one some where LOL😆
I learn something new every time I get to see you.
Lost art forms... perhaps not!?
Thank ya Sir for sharing! Hopefully there's Many youngins out there watching... enjoying... becoming interested in your trade!
I seem to remember in some of the old westerns that they would soak the wheels in water to temporarily expand the wood till they could get to a town with a blacksmith or wheel wright. As you stated in a previous video,most of the wagons headed west came from wetter climates and when they arrived to the arid west the wheels would nearly fall apart no matter how new they were. Thanks for sharing these priceless skills. I hope you have a young apprentice to follow your footsteps.
A joy to watch you work, even making the wedges! Great video Dave.
That was marvellous! Absolutely riveting. Every detail covered, including relieving the spoke tenons so they don’t interfere with the tires. Loved the way you made the wedges to secure the tenons in the felloes. 👍👌👏👏👏 Thanks, Dave.
Thanks young man...l was felloeing along watching you work....Thanks again from an Old Navy flying Shoe🇺🇸
First of all the electric reciprocating saw is older than me (56 years) which is awesome! Your finger pointing in your videos is like nothing I have seen on TH-cam! Master instructor! I can see porky pig riding through Joliet Montana in 1985 asking for directions to Boston MA with his map and you would not only point out the route but gas stations and hotels. Keep them coming Sir!
Lol
"SAFETY FIRST" I wouldn't have got under the wheel either, Dave. Another great video, thanks!
I have completed a 3' X 6' X 2.25" maple/walnut butcher block top for a kitchen work island. Now she wants a mud room bench. I planned on making wedged tenon mortise joints for the legs
into the maple seat top. Now I know how to make those wedges a different want than on the Martin sliding table saw. Thanks for the lead. As always really enjoy your work.
Vincent Rolfe videos of butcher block top
So simple in concept. A fair amount of work on a 'regular' wagon wheel. A whole LOT of work on these big wheels.
Simple explanations, and straightforward craftsmanship in every video. Keep up the good work👍
Love to see all the hand labour and craftsmanship followed bij a hacksaw. Keep it up.
Hi Dave. I’m a long time viewer and love your attention to detail and craftsmanship, second to none!
A thought about your intro today, and making it clearer to understand the nomenclature of your craft. Standing in front of your massive wheel and touching the various components, while naming them by both names felloes and Woden rim; for easier understanding of your newer viewership who haven’t watched all your videos.
Otherwise keep up the great work as usual!!
Excellent explanation!
Excellent workmanship by a master wheelwright!
Gonna have to recalibrate the speedometer for those smaller tires. 😁
Howdy Dave. Love the channel! So glad I found it. I’ve seen almost every episode since finding you.
Learn as we go along, today was a another lesson the for the teaching is always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Kind regards from London Ingland 🇬🇧
That was really interesting, with a thorough description of what and how you were doing the repair. Thanks!
Wonderful demonstration of a rare skill. Thank you.
Thank you for another great informative video.
For the metric only guys that want to know.
If your blade is 0.07" and you made 12 cuts, that will be 1.75mm times 12, so you took 21 mm out, now the wheel is 6.7 mm smaller, it was 2 meter in diameter now it is 1.9932.meter.
Thanks to you Mr. Engel !!!!!!!!!!!!
I remain impressed with your know how and skill. Vanishing traits.
pleasant show, edifying content. Thanks Dave.
here late again. Nice watching tune up on american wheels that built this country.
Thanks for this detailed look at the fascinating, intricate and tedious process of refitment.
Great to see thoughs beautiful wheels back in your shop for a tune-up.
Thank you Dave
Thanks Dave for a super interesting video and comprehensive explanation of the problem and of the solution process.
You are definately a master at your craft!! Your attention to the "little" details is outstanding!!
thanks for sharing a very interesting video 👍 God bless you and your family ✝️🙏 stay safe out there
Good Morning Sir
A great Video thank you for showing us your skills and thank you that you save this skills with your work and your Dokumentation
Take care have a good weekend and and a happy New week
Greetings from Germany

I remember in past videos talking about and watching how Wagon and Carriage Wheels can be Fellow Bound. I can understand why this needed to be done and how time consuming to unbound these wheels.
Genius and the patience of Job.
Extraordinary work, what a true pleasure it is to watch and learn from the most patient master on TH-cam. Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing the next video 😁
And the Master who knows the value of silence. No yabbering. Intentional explanation with lots of time to let the work and the sounds of the workshop do their own teaching. 👌I love Dave’s videos.
Really fascinating. Whether I ever use this knowledge or not, it's nice to learn new things.
Great workmanship just an old trade
Well done and thanks for sharing your skills
Great work Mr. Engels
The depth and breadth of your knowledge and skill is inspiring!
Another great video Dave .
Beautiful traditional wheels!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Superb video! One of your most informative and instructive wheelwright educational archives. 2:55 Nice OSHA approved (I'm certain) adjustment devices! Thanks for sharing your expertise.
once again the dedication to craftsmanship and detail work is awesome.
Where I live, the shrinkage and expansion of the tires goes even worse!!! I have to replace them on my car for every winter and summer😉
By heck time has flown by since you built the wheels and the chandelier wheel for the customer and did a video of it being and put in position. Take care 😀👍
Nice to see your previous work again. Seen on 7/7/2022 at 10:10 PM.
I wonder how many times a wheelwright would have to do this before it no longer is necessary? Beautiful job and well done. Thank You Dave.
Great episode! I love the process of building and repairing these wheels. There are so many skills involved. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. It’s not something that I’m ever likely to do but its super interesting to watch.
Another great Saturday show :-)
I liked that you included the numbers. My first thought was that reducing the circumference of the wheels by different amounts will result in an uneven ride. When it was done, the diameter was reduced by only about 0.25 inches.
Goes to show you...use the same tree for wheel components ! Love the math too.
Fascinating!
amazing very interesting your keeping a part of history alive
