Greetings from Germany... I have been watching the restoration of the sheep wagon all along but this one episode I have not seen. Seeing how it's done takes me back about 3 years when I gave a way an old Goat Wagon from here in Germany. It was in very bad shape and it was my desire to attempt to restore it. However after several years of having it in storage I finally had to give it up. Actually I had no idea as to how to even go about it. I did give it to a fellow who claimed he could and would restore it. To this day I have no idea if he actually restore it or not. Watching Dave's process always reminded me of what I could have done had I only knew or may be had some guidance. So I watch and smile to see someone as skilled as Dave do his magic.
I didnt catch the beginning of this project so I assumed this was the original chassis - it looks GREAT - and great video! The whole thing turned out really nice
Hi Dave/Diane, I was watching the latest episode of Carl Rodgers and her graciously mentioned your kindness in talking with him about his issue with bending wood. Just wanted to note that he called you a "Master Craftsman", which I concur with however, he being English, the statement seems to carry more gravitas. I Loves me an English accent.
Hope to see some photo's of the wagon on display inside the museum. This was a longer video than usual which meant extra considerable more editing by Diane. Your team did well. 👍👍👍
Hi Dave, and Diane, I guess this really was a streak of good luck to find such a fitting undercarriage. Nice job keeping the new look old. You look much better than last week, and I hope you feel as good. Thanks for all the cool stuff that you do. Take care, and we'll see you Friday.
Carl Rogers over on his you tube channel gave high praise to your expertise on steam bending wood on his latest video. If you haven't seen it, he's restoring an arched top wagon also.
This wagon will never need repairs again, because your work is going into a museum and I hope they have a sign giving you Credit for the restoration and repairs on this historical wagon, !👍🏻👍🏻
Outstanding skill with the 12 inch drill bit, hitting a hole on the other side of the thick wood by eye. You only know how difficult it is if you've tried to do it before 😅.
I look forward to each of your videos. I stop whatever I am doing and sit down and enjoy the time with you. Thank you for showing us that there are still people who care about real craftsmanship. I noticed early on your attention to such small details such as making sure all the nuts line up after they are tightened.
It's been a real pleasure watching this wagon come together, and it makes me happy knowing that your artwork will be displayed in a museum for others to enjoy.
Hello Dave, Carl Rodgers in France described you as a master craftsman, I couldn’t agree more,I’ve watched you years now and have appreciated every moment, thank you,
It is truly amazing watching you assemble all these different parts many of which you have made with modern equipment but it does make me wonder about how they were designed and made in the first place on the assumption that it was not part of a mass production process.
Its amazing how much hardware is used in the fabrication of the under carriage of these units. The time it takes to make all those parts. Well thought out. Great job.
Hi Diane and Dave, nice to hear you sounding and looking better. It's a lovely undercarriage , The museum will definitely love your extremely hard work project. I DO ALSO.❤
Been watching you for years 👍🏻👍🏻 you look at these hi tech engineers who can’t even adjust there car seats , the work you do is fantastic and will never be old because it’s not the wagons or the wheels it’s the knowledge and understanding of creating things with your hands and repairing things that others won’t attempt. God bless you.
Здравствуйте привет из Нижнего гляжу вы полное реставрацию движущих механизм как у вас хорошо всё отлично получается ну что сказать золотые руки неверно от бога дай вам хорошего здоровья и вашим близким да хранит вас всех господь Нижний Новгород Юра жду новых видео спасибо
Dave the part you fabricated about 16 to 18 minutes in was absolutely fascinating to watch you work. I love all your work, that 2 minutes just really stool out for me.
I literally heard the old wood soak the linseed oil across the ocean. My admiration goes to all those anonymous people who throughout the ages brought that undercarriage to perfection. One feels that Dave shares that admiration.
The usual masterclass in every discipline from blacksmithing through upholstery and joinery to colour finishing - quite remarkable. I applaud your skills. Thank you. Bill B - UK.
Great job. By clocking all the bolt heads and nuts you show a higher level of craftsmanship than the original makers. I would like to get your take on an old set of running gear we have for one of our utility wagons.
It’s nice to see the completed project, and the work that went into the undercarriage. I hope those who visit the museum, will appreciate the work and effort you put into the preservation of this piece of Montana history. Another job well done!
Whew! Just watching this video made my back ache! Amazing skill in the old time craft of wagon making. To think of all the wagons and carts that went out of St Joseph, St Louis and Independence, Missouri. The wagon and blacksmith shops must have been running 24/7.
PS on my last text it was halfway through the video I did not realize you were using the wood for the brake shoes but the metal holding the brake shoes is two different shapes and shapes one side to very different from the other side. You do excellent work One part I seen you put in a cotter pin in and a matching part on the other side that had a homemade smash pin I guess you're just trying to save a little bit of effort there is so much if I was there in person I would talk to you about everything and pick your brain I'm very disabled and I can't really do nothing about it or help you in the situation but honestly if I could I would volunteer to help you just be able to watch and learn from what you do it is great do great work you have a lot of knowledge it is great you're doing the videos it is protecting that knowledge for everybody who comes from the past and present everybody will see and understand how to watch the videos from the past they will live forever thank you these videos will be on the internet for very long time thank you for taking the time to make them there is a couple shortcuts that you do with welders that they do not have in the past I kind of wish it. I would have seen how they did it in the past all the Forge welding without the Mig welder that's okay you do a great job thank you keep up the good work sorry for the early post on a comment I would really wish I could help you out even if I just clean the shop I would learn so much from you but there's nothing I could do with that knowledge cuz my disability I'm in a recliner with my legs elevated all day watching TV that's all I got left keep up the shows they're very entertaining they help me a lot thank you
Although I will never make a 'real' wooden wheel, I did make a reasonable copy of a pair of wheels for a full size cannon I made by watching this channel. Mine looks great, if you don't get too close....or try to move it much.....
Once again - the master of changing the old partially broken history into elegant quaint memories. Quite an accomplished magician. Complete with most of the hows & whys. Back to the days when survival needed a dose of honesty & self reliance. Kind of a view of what's wrong with way too much progress. This country was built with hard work and selflessness, to some extent, and ruined by progress and technology . Oh well ...........
When I watch a movie, it is typically an old Western. Naturally there are a lot of wagons, carts, and coaches in them thar movies. Having watched Engles Coach Shop for many years, I find a new appreciation for the things made in that era. I find it fascinating. I'll pause a movie just so I can better view the wagons and so on.
Wow, your videos are always well shot and well edited, but this one was downright artful. Pacing is perfect, everything is well lit - and I love the woods aging and finishing time lapse in particular. I have tried to tell people about your channel with great enthusiasm and people kind of glaze over. I think if I could get them to watch this video, I might get through how important the work is that your documenting.
It is amazing to watch your skills but is also amazing to watch all of the engineering that has evolved over the years to harness the power of a horse.
You look to have more energy hope your fully back to normal health. Really nice to see the undercarriage work . Thanks to you and Diane for all the work you put into making these videos for us but as importantly for future generations.
That sheep wagon was a great project. That museum will have a beautiful exhibit for the public. I'll have to add that stop when coming to Montana. Thanks for bringing us along...
Hello Dave and Diane, My wife, Ellen and I have been watching since your borax wagon days. Your aging techniques are wonderful. However, for a few minutes there, the place looked like the aftermath of the Saint Valentines Day massacre! We can't wait for the next video.
I hope you can record the museum delivery and placement. I would enjoy seeing that.
I can watch this man make anything. Such a great craftsman!
As usual I sit, watching this all take place, in some degree of awe. Years of experience expressed in fine craftsmanship. Thanks, Dave.
What a great way to finish off that wagon. Beautifully done. It will be an amazing asset to any museum.
Every time I see a video of the sheep wagon, I expect to see some cloth come out to make a "Good Samuel Club" patch for the back of the wagon.😇😄

Lots of parts on this undercarriage ! More parts than I noticed on past videos. This Sheep Wagon will last well over 100 years !
Hi Dave/Diane, I was watching the latest episode of Carl Rodgers and her graciously mentioned your kindness in talking with him about his issue with bending wood. Just wanted to note that he called you a "Master Craftsman", which I concur with however, he being English, the statement seems to carry more gravitas. I Loves me an English accent.
The whole sheep wagon series is a must watch!
Hope to see some photo's of the wagon on display inside the museum. This was a longer video than usual which meant extra considerable more editing by Diane. Your team did well. 👍👍👍
Some of that wood was like paintin' a sponge... as always some neat little tricks of the trade, not so obvious until we see 'em.
Looks like Diane made you give back her good Pyrex measuring cup you swiped from her kitchen!
Hi Dave, and Diane, I guess this really was a streak of good luck to find such a fitting undercarriage. Nice job keeping the new look old. You look much better than last week, and I hope you feel as good. Thanks for all the cool stuff that you do. Take care, and we'll see you Friday.
I've watched for years and didn't know his name.

Dave , you are incredible at what ever you do! You Sir are a master craftsman.... G. J. 🤠🌵🌵🌵🇺🇲

Thank you, Mr. Dave, for privilege of taking us along for the ride!
It's been a real pleasure watching this wagon come together, and it makes me happy knowing that your artwork will be displayed in a museum for others to enjoy.
Nothing like a lot of love and linseed oil to bring it back to life.
Hello Dave, Carl Rodgers in France described you as a master craftsman, I couldn’t agree more,I’ve watched you years now and have appreciated every moment, thank you,
I am just blown away by that grey patina you're able to get on new wood with that magic vinegar juice. Just beautiful.
Superb craftsmanship and camera work as usual.
Спасибо.
Such lovely work. Something you don’t see every day.
It is truly amazing watching you assemble all these different parts many of which you have made with modern equipment but it does make me wonder about how they were designed and made in the first place on the assumption that it was not part of a mass production process.
Great talent, a whole lot of work.
Great cinematography.
Your videos are always enjoyable. Thank you for sharing.
Its amazing how much hardware is used in the fabrication of the under carriage of these units. The time it takes to make all those parts. Well thought out. Great job.
Love all your work
I keep thinking, "He will never top this video" then the next one comes along. This was utterly fascinating. Thanks.
Great job on the restoration/rebuild of that Sheep Wagon, it looks great. Thank you for sharing your build with us.
Not many would think about saving those old rivets. This has been an excellent adventure. As always, great video, cheers :)
Hi Diane and Dave, nice to hear you sounding and looking better. It's a lovely undercarriage , The museum will definitely love your extremely hard work project. I DO ALSO.❤

I never tire of watching a Master Craftsman at work, Generations to come was forever be in awe of you Ol Chap. ❤
ha recuperado la antigua estufa
Thanks for letting us come along!
Thanks to you Mr. and Ms. Engel !!!!
Your antiquing process is amazing. Until this video, I assumed the undercarriage had aged naturally. Thanks for sharing.
Dave the part you fabricated about 16 to 18 minutes in was absolutely fascinating to watch you work. I love all your work, that 2 minutes just really stool out for me.
Always enjoyable.
Ok, today I learned to use your finger as a target when drilling a hole that has to line up on the opposite side. Genius.
Ha… metal tabs holding it together! Just like on old stamped metal toys!
I literally heard the old wood soak the linseed oil across the ocean. My admiration goes to all those anonymous people who throughout the ages brought that undercarriage to perfection. One feels that Dave shares that admiration.
That filings-and-vinegar solution works wonders: the match is so good!
The usual masterclass in every discipline from blacksmithing through upholstery and joinery to colour finishing - quite remarkable. I applaud your skills. Thank you. Bill B - UK.
Hope you are feeling better today Dave
Watching your videos makes me realize how complex these vehicles were/are.
Great job. By clocking all the bolt heads and nuts you show a higher level of craftsmanship than the original makers. I would like to get your take on an old set of running gear we have for one of our utility wagons.

I was a bit sad that the sheepwagon projekt ended, and then you came with this part to. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Your linseed oil and paint mix sure makes a sloppy mess, but the outcome is wonderful. Especially over the "aged" ash. Thanks for the video.
That was a brilliant repair And restoration you carried out there.
A pleasure to watch 👍👍👍👍👍
Great work!
I have really enjoyed watching this wagon build! Looks great!
Although I will never make a 'real' wooden wheel, I did make a reasonable copy of a pair of wheels for a full size cannon I made by watching this channel. Mine looks great, if you don't get too close....or try to move it much.....
Always nice to watch someone who knows how to upset a rivet.
That was a lot of work.
You are one of the most skilled people I've ever seen, across any discipline, trade, craft or art form. Mind blowing 🔥
Your work proves to people old items can still be functional and appealing to the eye.
Awesome non asbestos brake shoes
great work aging that running gear Dave, I never twigged it was rebuilt.
BTW, after watching your videos I've adopted the farrier rasp to my boat building. It is a great tool for removing and shaping material.
Very good build.
What a Man !! What extrordinary skill !!! I am SO, SO impressed.
This is a most fascinating video. Thanks for sharing it.
😎😺👍👍👍👍👍
Once again - the master of changing the old partially broken history into elegant quaint memories. Quite an accomplished magician. Complete with most of the hows & whys. Back to the days when survival needed a dose of honesty & self reliance. Kind of a view of what's wrong with way too much progress. This country was built with hard work and selflessness, to some extent, and ruined by progress and technology . Oh well ...........
Lots of work
It's always fascinating to watch Dave take new materials and make "100-year-old" replacement parts!
It's fascinating to watch you replicate and match the old iron work on the wagons. Thanks for showing us how you work.
Dave has a patented potion to magically make a brand new tongue match the look of those hundred year old wagon wheels.
That red color really does wonders. Wood or metal. So much progress in this video. Really getting complete now.
Gorgeous rig.
When I watch a movie, it is typically an old Western. Naturally there are a lot of wagons, carts, and coaches in them thar movies.
Having watched Engles Coach Shop for many years, I find a new appreciation for the things made in that era. I find it fascinating. I'll pause a movie just so I can better view the wagons and so on.
Wow, your videos are always well shot and well edited, but this one was downright artful. Pacing is perfect, everything is well lit - and I love the woods aging and finishing time lapse in particular. I have tried to tell people about your channel with great enthusiasm and people kind of glaze over. I think if I could get them to watch this video, I might get through how important the work is that your documenting.
It is amazing to watch your skills but is also amazing to watch all of the engineering that has evolved over the years to harness the power of a horse.
This is a great, very informative video.
Thank you Mr and Mrs Engels.
This man is the master of joinery.
Wow Dave. You make even new wood to look old but it still looks great. Always amazed.
Hi Dave n Diane 👋 God bless you and your family 🙏❤️ love to watch your videos 👍👌❤️
Thank you
Once again, you have proven yourself to be a master in your trade.
It took me two days, but I finally got it all watched. I enjoy every vid you post but for some reason I’m especially drawn to anything sheep wagon
Anyone would be proud to have that sheep wagon in their possession. Thanks for a great series.
That's some good work. It's a pleasure watching your craft
Fastest hammer in the west. Outstanding as always
WOW. thanks for adding this. Fascinating !
You look to have more energy hope your fully back to normal health. Really nice to see the undercarriage work . Thanks to you and Diane for all the work you put into making these videos for us but as importantly for future generations.
That sheep wagon was a great project. That museum will have a beautiful exhibit for the public. I'll have to add that stop when coming to Montana.
Thanks for bringing us along...
Hello Dave and Diane,
My wife, Ellen and I have been watching since your borax wagon days. Your aging techniques are wonderful. However, for a few minutes there, the place looked like the aftermath of the Saint Valentines Day massacre! We can't wait for the next video.
😅
I really enjoy watching your work. I envy your talents.
Thanks Guys
You are one of the most engaging personalities on TH-cam. You have a rare gift for making every episode fascinating.
