- Handling 65 lb iron tires, rolling and sizing them so they fit the wood cannon wheels. So I called this the wheelwright's gym. There is a lot of physical activity throughout the day so I really don't have a need for a gym membership.
At least not yet.

Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos. Since I use a large number of these, I do keep them in stock. An email to dave@engelscoachshop.com will get you a list of available sizes and pricing.

No matter how big your shop is...there is never enough room.
Ain't it the truth!!
A glib comment for the algorithm ; I love work , I can watch it all day !
It is heart warming to know that there are still real craftsmen left in the world.
Sir, you have my utmost respect and gratitude, not only for your craftsmanship, but for your quiet, capable, peaceful spirit as well.
Im not surprised people thumbs down your work. They are those who want to do but cannot as they themselves are the reason they are failures. Im one who admires a mans work regardless if I could do it or not mostly not.
watching you throw that iron around like it's nothing has me so envious lol. I have so many health issues including a busted shoulder and lifting anything heavy has me in pain right away. you do amazing work. thank you for all you do!
My shoulders are soar just watching you.
I admire and respect your language. No cursing and fantastic workmanship produce beautiful products that few people can make!!
Only real men put that much love and care in that much hard work
I never get tired of these videos. You'd have to wheel me away from the TV. I always spoke well of them. They are the hub of my knowledge on this subject.
Those were the times when beautiful reliable machines were made here in the US!
If hard work won't kill yah and exercise is needed for longevity then Engles ought to live for at least 250 years! I am always in awe of truly skilled tradesmen as I have endeavored to be! Sir, your a human dynamo!
I spent a good deal of time searching the Internet for another wainwright. There is one in the U.K., and none other in the USA. But saying there is but one Dave Engels is still an understatement.
Smoothing the wheel on the standing sand belt is an ingenious technique. Thanks
Just to put this in perspective, I'm probably ten years younger than Dave and was congratulating myself on an hour of monkeying around with some much lighter steel and a pair of pliers. Great work, as always!
How many of his grade in the Continental usa doing this? 1880 roller. That’s incredible. It’s so great these youtubes will be here forever. These wheels and horses built this country with these craftsmen.
Always enjoy the shop tours,and machine functions
And so ends the romance surrounding the process of building wagons and wagons wheels. And to think I was going to skip my little workout this morning! You sir are a machine and have clearly built a relationship with the tools of your trade. I applaud your skills and perseverance. Please don't ever stop making videos.
Dave is Montana's arm wrestling champ ,wow with all your inventions I think a electric motor is in order.That's a task!!
Also very well photographed for viewing!
a master at his craft
a master of his craft
absolutely entertaining, rewarding and enlightening video to watch
I hope one day you will be able to post a photo of the completed wheels on their gun carriages. Truly a mammoth task. Keep posting videos please. Thank you from Devon, England.
Thanks for uploading this, I could watch this craftsman at work all day.
It doesn't matter how old a tool is. What matters is that it works for you.
I love seeing the progress as you complete each step along the way to completing all of your projects.
Pure Old school craftsman.Excellent to watch,and appreciate his skill!
Interesting, educational, fun to watch, I’m not putting enough effort into my projects. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with your thousands of viewers. From Missouri.
you my friend are One of a Kind .its such a joy to watch you do your thing .. the wild west needed you .you have perfected the manufacture of these wheels .i'm sure yours would have lasted much longer
Absolutely brilliant just love your videos. Just enough dwell on the little points of note for to get your tip and speed up just enough to see how much mental and physical hard work goes into your craft.
Perfect delivery and a joy to watch, and thanks for posting.
Makes me smile even when l get to the end "thanks for watching" gives me a spring in my step from the rest of the day...................
I am in awe of your abilities and wonderful talent! Yes that does include telling us step by step what your doing! Thanks and keep the videos coming!
My friend Joe Bird used to make tyhese sorts of things, however he would take a piece of steel and roll the whole length to diameter and then weld the next piece on and continue until he ended up with a great big coil of steel which he would then cut to diameter. Oh, and he was a great one for attaching a small hydraulic motor to the winding handle. He had those things all over the shop.
The amount of work going into these wheels is truly mind boggling. Truly relaxing to watch you work!
Holeecrapolee !! That’s badass !! 🤜🤛
I have to appreciate the enormous amount of effort that goes into the actual work, plus the additional time and effort the video takes. Thank you for that! I do have to wonder, with your ability to design and fabricate, why you haven't adapted a motor and foot control to the wheel roller?
Workout...I think you probably put most of us slightly younger guys to shame...lol...fascinating to see the bar bender in use, looks well Løkke after...👍🏻
One thing about the roller: They were made very accurate, and the most important thing is , they were made to last , trouble free, forever.
It took so much effort to build those wheels. I can imagine how difficult it was without all modern tools. Thank you for your videos!
Finding this fascinating channel a few weeks ago has changed my viewing life a lot.
Dave the quality of you video work is as good as the work you do.
This is a k100 standard channel and hope more viewers find you.
What a great story, you bring the past alive without being in your face, well done.
Regards Ian, Cape Town
I am a retired welder. I have worked all my live with steel mostly x-ray welds on natural gas pipe lines. I sit here in my easy chair and marvel at the fact that you work all alone. I don't believe that the average person that brings you work realize how hard you work and what a perfectionist you are. Really enjoy watching your videos!
I'll bet you have a hell of a good right hook !!! As we say here in Yorkshire " I wouldn't want a bat up the lug with that hand" cheers Keith.
I love work. I can sit around ans watch it all day.
Boy, running that tire roller sure looks like a workout! of course bending the tires with a hammer and anvil would be a heck of a lot more of a workout!
Hi, I've seen a lot of videos of you and I'm always happy when I see you at work! You are a true multi-expert in what you do and with so much respect for the old craftsmanship that is all too often lost in these times .... :)
I couldn't move those tyres let alone lift them. ( you can tell I am from the UK by the spelling ). Both interesting and very well presented as always.Thanks again.
Again I am amazed at the amount of craftsmanship you put into every job you do . Not to mention the muscle. I’d need a large jar of Blue Emu or Ben Gaye after a day in your shop. I salute you sir.
Man... you gotta be about ready to stop handling those wheels and start handling the pay-check. So interesting to watch though. Thanks for bringin' us along.
Great points of view video. This is how a custom shop works, no jigs, no assembly lines set up etc. because every job is unique mostly. If you knew you had 1,000 tires to make it would make much sense to jig up something, wouldn't it? In any case, its all about how it was done so that ingredient has to be there, hand work they call it.
Whatever they're paying, it isn't enough.
As always, it's great to watch you on the go in the shop. Thanks for posting and all the best to you and the whole crew at Engels Coach Shop. I wish I could give you TWO THUMBS UP.
I worked in metal fabrication 39 years it was not easy but most all our machines were powered but it was interesting work I always enjoy your videos thanks for all the work you put into them
Thank you for making these videos. I really enjoy it when you talk about the history.
Awesome video and really enjoy your equipment. beautiful wheels and tires. Your very skilled to say the least.
My last name is Wainwright and my great grandfather actually built wagons and wheels on the eastern shore of Maryland in the early 1900's. My father grew up helping his grandfather and Ive enjoyed the stories of how it was done. We still have his anvil and many of the blacksmith tools. I'm sure he didnt have a sander as nice as the one you have and he didnt have a welder but heated and beat the steel together for the tire. I'll bet he would have loved having the equipment and tools we have today. I'll show my father your video I'm sure he will enjoy. Truly a trade that is going extinct. Ironically, Ive been a heavy equipment mechanic and welder for over 35 years so I guess the trade just changes course a little. Thanks so much for sharing.
I sure hope you enjoy making these videos as much as I sure enjoy watching them.
Sensational thanks.
An old bandit working smart (no offence meant). Pleasure to watch.
I love watching you work.. It shows a dedication to the craft and a skill set few will achieve.. thanks for taking the time to make and post these videos..
Used that model belt sander at Gillette for 30 years, it was a beast and great machine. Nice to see one again!
Work amazes me, I can watch it for hours!!! Lol! What a set of great looking wheels!
I enjoy your channel very much. Thank you for sharing.
It is truly amazing what you do with what you work with. Even tho you have all you need to do the excellent work that you do, a lot of your equipment is what the wheel rights would have used at the turn of the century or before. A skill like yours is a dying thing that will be lost forever when you decide t o stop. That is one reason your work is so amazing. The story behind how you started this line of work is probably a very interesting one as well.
I guess after doing twelve of those you’re tired out. It’s inspiring to see someone with the mettle to make a great job out of the daily grind!
It's a pleasure to watch you work smart!
Just when I think there is an easier way to do something, you prove me wrong. I do think you would benefit from a set of powered rolls or put a motor on the one you have. You are a Craftsman of many trades Sir. I note a bunch of unemployables dislike this. Think of them as sawdust and slag.
The skill and dedication to the craft is amazing.
If I am half as fit as you at your age I will be happy.
You my man are a machine
Love these videos...amazing to see you handling the iron and machines alone. All that AND walking to shop and back home!? Tough guy... Afraid hired help would be whining about the strenuous effort after an hour or so of that. Wonderful to watch this project moving toward completion.
este SENOR ES UN GRAN MAESTRO. MR ENGELS.DIOS LE BENDIGA Y MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS POR ESTE VIDEO.
I don't know much my friend, but I know that you need a milwaukee portaband. Maybe a rigid tri-stand. Once you get 'em, you never go back.
Wow - that's certainly a real work out again thanks for showing us a real life "How it's Made" Best regards Cheers
Dude, you're really good.
A lot of highly skilled work goes into each and every one of those wheels.
Mr Engel, congratulations on your creativity and your competence. Thanks for the wonderful videos you give us.
Hi, As always a pleasure to watch you a chraftsman doing his job, looking forward to the next step, thank you.
At 8:12, if you use a piece of brass, you can leave a gap and weld right over it. It won't stick. Good for butt-end joining. A real workout in this video. I'd take a Saturday and rig up a push-button electric crank to that roller. :-). And another one to rig up some kind of overhead or gantry crane.
I work on the restoration of road steam engines, I have a feeling you get to the end of a day and fall asleep knowing the reason why. I know I do.
That is really fascinating how you measure the circumference of the wheel then cut and weld it together. Enjoyed the video. Thank you. Y'all take care and bless.
I sure do enjoy watching these videos and especially putting the tires on the wheels. I'm really looking forward to watching that. Thank very much for taking the time to show us how you practice your trade.
deine Arbeit zusehen macht gute Laune, Hut ab
watching your work puts you in a good mood, hats off
Very much enjoyed your video and gave it a thumbs up also
Amazing and excellent work done single person without assistant, technical, hard, skill in all rounds, more interesting to watch the work, with very good good ideas, techniques,many many thanks.
Another great video I enjoyed it very much! Thank you!
Nice shop. Clean too.
I have to say that's a real workout. You must be in good shape.
You are definitely going to deserve a cold beer after this.
Dave, The cartoon "Speedy Gonsalez" come to mind, watching your videos. I have a low RPM Heavy duty Drill that would make your hand cranking go away, but I just love watching someone else work!!!!
I think a small 2 hp reversible 110 AC motor can be adapted to that little bender. You made my back hurt watching you crank that thing.
Well it was a pleasure too watch a master craftsman at work... looked mind "bending " too me Mr Engels..lol..... well as they say ..keep them wheels a-turnin sir 👍👍
My weekend is now complete. Thanks for another great episode of this interesting project...
I love listening to your show always extremely informative and always spot-on thank you for the time that you spend and creating it and producing it for us greatly greatly appreciated again
It’s a great day to be alive. Get’r done boy get’r done! Power the Eureka?
Another outstanding video. I learn something every time I watch one of them. Please keep making em.
Good morning to all from SE Louisiana 9 Jan 22.
So much work goes into those! It looks like a serious workout too!
To make a wheel is a lot of work. Love learning about the skills needed to make them.
"The wheelwright's gym" is what I was thinking when you are lifting those tires like they weigh nothing at all.
Just a treat to watch - Season's Greetings to you and yours!
The individual that I apprenticed for was a Wheelwright for the Borax Mines. I sure wished I would’ve stuck with it.
wow you work, i love all the home hade tools to help you out, and that meassuring wheel is so simple yet perfect
Nice wheel stand using Farmall H style rear wheel weight
David, it "looks" like a simple job. Just cut
up some wood, and some iron. However we
BOTH know it is anything but easy!
Digging the Panama Canal, in theory, was a
simple job. The devil is in the details.
You seem to show the details, and you do that
so well, it is almost difficult to appreciate the
work involved! I only wish I was 20, instead of
60, and you wanted to try again with an apprentice!
Yet another in a SERIES of amazing, enlightening,
videos!

I hope everyone watching appreciates that this is an enormous amount of work. Speeded up it makes it seems straightforward and simple but skill, persistance and care are required and frankly I am in awe. Thanks for my Saturday morning breakfast entertainment sir.
That explains the moniker. For me its beer:30
Actually, speeded up it still looks like an enormous amount of work and not straightforward and simple at all. Amazing craftsmanship.
It is , ive done it many times , trying to get the rollers set is a tricky job , if you take a little each time it'll get to a point where it will over roll greatly so you have to do it in one roll ..
My thoughts exactly 👍
Yes. I still wonder what a job like this would cost the buyer. It's got to be crazy expensive.
Just don’t know how you do it all, you are so talented.
