- Sometimes preserving old original horse wagons is more preferable than restoring them. Follow along in the building and restoring of horse drawn vehicles, with wheelwright, blacksmith, Dave Engel DBA Engels Coach Shop. This week's video continues on in the preservation process of an old original wood wheeled farm wagon in preparation to receive a restored sheep wagon body. This wagon will be for display purposes only, so restoration was not the desire of the owner.

A true master craftsman.Probably the last of his kind. No one teaches these trades anymore
Dave, you always say "Thanks for watching" but we say, "Thanks for presenting". Another really engrossing video.
oc2phish07 I don’t think anyone could have said it better. Still curious about those dozen thumbs down. Igiots
E eu digo, muito obrigado pela postagem, suas histórias são interessantes.
Greetings from Minas Gerais, Brasil.
Such a fine place to come and visit is Engels Coach shop.
We may disagree on some things someone has told some of us are somehow suddenly important, but we're all in agreement on one thing: Dave needs a pair of steel-toed sneakers!
Whenever I restore/ re-purpose something, I usually take lots of pictures with my phone before disassembling, because many weeks can go by before reassembling. Learned the hard way. Got my eye on a wagon that I want to restore. Thanks.
The rockabilly on the Rickenbacker in the background; loving it.
Each video,another adventure inside the shop,
looking at the wagon and the shape it in remind me of being out at my grandpas farm long time ago i am 80 years old so you understand what i am saying
your show is so relaxing to watch and then the music puts me to sleep love it
Once again, Thanks for the video.
When I saw you putting the wood piece in the sandblast booth, instead of metal piece, I thought, old Engel is loosing it. I quickly came to my senses and realized you were making this wagon old, not new. You are a master craftsman, sir!
Enrico Valiant, we’ve been telling him that but he doesn’t think so. We know better and not of one trade but many.
Gene Goodman, you are absolutely right !! Dave Engels is unequivocally a Master Craftsman !! I've watched a LOT of his videos and came to that conclusion a while ago !!
Greetings,
Sir, without a doubt, you are the greatest one man show I have ever seen. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge with us.
That's awesome guys I do it every single chance I got.👍✌
Hi Dave really enjoy your videos even though I don't own a wagon, , I would really enjoy a video where you go thru a wagon running gear and name all the parts for those of us that don't know the correct terminology, thanks
Excellent, I really like the vinegar and metal fillings bath treatment.
Love that belt sander and the size of the electric motor👍🏻👏🏻⭐️🎅🏻🎄
Thanks Dave ! Another great video... you are the best !
You treat every vehicle with so much respect. You treat each one like it's alive, not just a collection of parts.
Thanks once again.....My friend....!
It’s the mark of a master craftsman when, instead of a drill press, he casually uses a handheld drill to make multiple holes through a bit of timber that must, simply must, line up to the other side. Totally casual, perfect results. Well done Dave.
You are really an amazing craftsman. I enjoy every video.
I look forward to your Friday videos.
There are folks with the skill, there are folks with the attention to detail and there are folks with the patience, but it is a rare beast to find someone with all three in such abundance.
Very enjoyable. I didn’t realize all the metal and hardware holding the carriage together. I love to watch the amazing craftsmanship in building the things both originally and now watching you.
Finest TH-cam history channel, Ever! If you don't watch closely you may have missed the historical reenactment of the moment when a Wainwright was first inspired to invent the steel toed boot! Love y'all so much. Shabbat Shalom to all from the Holy Land. 😊
I have been washing these videos with my 2yr old son. He enjoys watching these videos as much as me.
Something for all age groups.
Thanks
I never get over how you remember how all these parts go back together, God bless you and your family (David Dooley Bettendorf Iowa)
This is beyond craftsmanship. This is pure magic!
Some parts of this thing we're only held together with memories.
Hopes and dreams...
Very old memories.
Sometimes that's enough. Memories and love.
larry shaw or, as a neighbor once remarked about the old shed behind his cabin, ‘spit and glue and wishes’.
I know how aggravating rusted nuts can be. I'm working on a boat trailer that has rust, corrosion and whatever that stuff is that develops when you join aluminum to steel with steel bolts & nuts. I bent the handle of a 1/2" pry bar then busted my good 1/2" drive ratchet trying to break the nut free. Thankfully the ratchet had a lifetime warranty and the manufacturer replaced it with no problem. Thanks for posting your always interesting work.
Aluminum to steel is terrible huh.
Another great video, Thank you Sir
Always very interesting thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺👀
All those rusted bolts taken out without even one cuss word! Amazing!
Dave is a MASTER of the edit!
Jesus watches the show. He knows.
Subject: rusted bolts.
What would Jesus say?
"Get thee behind me, Satan... and PUSH!"
50 years as a mechanic here,,the last rusty bolt/nut is always the one that takes the longest to get loose. I don't know why, Murphy's law maybe? Good ole CRC is the best liquid tool, but when even CRC doesn't work it's time for the hot wrench. I like how even a mundane working wagon had artistic touches like rounding off the edges.
Nice work dave its coming right along have a day love from TEXAS
Dave you are so good you can use a punch to make holes in flat bar
I was punching out the old rivets.
Once Again thanks for the video...
Man, you speak so well
Nice trick with the fillings and vinegar!
Man,... each video I’m watching, I’m mesmerized by your patience, persistence, skill, ... - fill in the blanks - ...
As always Very impressive.
I really love watching u work your magic on those old relics from the past. Next time im in Montana id love to stop in and meet you. I made my way out there 15 years ago to fromberg/ bridger area for the 1st time and fell in love with the great state of Montana. Ive been through Joliet several times since then and didn't know about ur place or work then. When i retire i hope to make a more permanent stay in Montana. It feels like home and i always get depressed when i have to leave. Your work and videos bring me much joy and always leave me wishing i was there. Thank u for ur time and effort in putting together videos like this.
You're welcome any time.
Impressive as always 👍🇬🇧
_"The Process of learning how wagons go together is taking them apart."_
That's what I told my Dad when I took is watch apart when I was 11.
Then sometimes you're taking things apart and a few pieces separate before you can see exactly how they were connected .... that leads to the detective game.
Mine was Dad's alarm clock....ouch!
They say, I rode my tricycle up to grandma’s sewing machine and took it apart. They say it took grandpa 2 days to put it back together. He didn’t have my knowledge of taking it apart.
Never tire of the speedy hammer..
When do you think that wagon last came apart. When it was originally put together. You are truly a Master Craftsman
It shows signs of other repairs some time ago.
@@EngelsCoachShop I just wondered how long ago those bolts were last tightened.
I like how you use hand gestures to show what you're going to be doing rather than long winded voice overs. Really enjoy watching you do your thing.
When I was growing up on our wheat farm, one of the land owners of a grain and cattle farm had never gone away from horses and wagons. Her hired man for cattle didn't drive and only used wagons and teams. He used three wagons for different hauling functions and primarily traveled on horseback. We worked with our choices of equipment to better enable him. Twine binder instead of baler, small chaff piles instead of large carts, ect. He had a full blacksmith shop and knew his business. We learned to love the man and his craft and worked with and assisted him for many years until his death. New owners and times have changed all that but I'm sure loving seeing many of the old pieces I've not seen for 45 years of more. You have the skill and patience of a master that I've observed before. God bless you.
I think I've figured this out. You do wonderful work, but the real reason it's so soothing and interesting to watch you is because you're working and I'm not.
Ha ha ha !
Hello Dave
Thanks for showing us all that very good work you do
I am glad to see it and it is a pleasure to listen to you
All the best
Greetings Frank
Thankfully there are people like you with the know how to preserve where we came from.
He blows my mind drilling all those holes from the blind side and hitting the target every time on the steel.
You never cease to amaze me with your skills!
Dave, watching you coax those old nuts and bolts, my first reaction was to think about sending you my power tools that I hardly ever use but then I remember times working with the good old hand tools that gave me feeling, when to muscle and when to be gentle. The new tools are nice but Lord those old tools in the right hands, why, it brings tears to my eyes. To see someone with the hands of a master preserve as much of the memory of the original craftsman. Keep up the good videos, I'll continue to watch just so i can relive those GOOD OLD TOOLS.
Thanks. Yes it's good to feel what's happening.
Hey Dave, really an awesome job you’re doing to preserve this old wagon. The work you are doing is beautiful and will be around for generations to come. Thanks for sharing with your videos and smithing abilities that are perfectly done ! 👍👍. Fred.
Wish I lived closer, I'd come sweep up or something, might learn something too. I love the old wagons, that's a fact. Much thanks for the videos.
excellent work done.
I look forward to Friday nights. Thanks
Hi Dave, i'm a long retired machinist/ fitter, I love watching you work. I see you using principles I learned all those years ago, it's a real pleasure watching your videos. I'd love to browse around your machine shop for a few hours, I'd also love to experience the " smells". It would stimulate a lot of memories. Grateful thanks for sharing.👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing as usual Dave
Most Excellent - thanks
It so great to see a real restoration..... Not just paint!!
You are just excellent, I marvel at the modern machines and amazed to see you. Never used a powered screwdriver. I confess never got tired of watching your superb skills. Thanks and God bless you 😇
The other day i saw a car mechanic use a Induction Gun to lose Nuts. There is a coil and a strong electric current. Best is: only the metal is being heated so one could minimize burnmarks. Could be handy if you struggle often with this nuts.
This wagon is going to make quite an impressive museum piece Dave. With proper care and humidity controls it'll be around in 100 years. Would it be improper for you to place your logo on a brass badge and mount it say under the an axle? It would make a nice legacy piece for you and your craft.
Love the preservation work! Gotta preserve that history. 👍🏼
Thanks Dave
It's a pleasure to watch your video's every week again. It always seems to put our hasty stressed life back into perspective right before the weekend.
Once again, thanks so much for allowing us along!
Now there's a man who could certainly use some 8pt sockets! Luv your vids.
I do have a number of them.
Wow! Dave's patience and skill with rusty bolts and rotten wood is amazing. Don't know know how he does it, but his craftsmanship has to be among the best there is.
Dave, taking stuff apart is a learned process too. Being able to make parts that work when you don’t have a good pattern is part of what makes you a craftsman. I like your chose of tools, their the best I think. A lot of people would use air ratchets, and tear up 80% of the bolts. Soaking them for a month makes a big difference. I enjoy watching you work and thanks for letting us look over your shoulder. Stay safe my friend
I love watching you work you magic on these old wagons!
Your caption of using CRC Screwloose briefly brought me up short. I thought for a bit you had been talking to my wife. On the serious side, I find your preservation and /or restoration videos equally as interesting as the new builds. Thanks for your time and effort in doing these videos for us. All the best to you and your family.
I like how we get to see how different builders built the wagons.
This show is so good! Thanks for recording something that would other wise be lost.
I never go weary of watching you work.
I enjoy all of your videos as usual, I hope some young people will watch and learn some valuable skills.
Not had time to watch this yet but I know it will be top stuff as always. Thank you once again for taking the time to share your skill and patience with us all.
I like how you pay attention to detail, whether it is for actual use or just display.
As you were saying out the new pieces, I was trying to remember what you used to age it. Thanks for reminding me again.
a verry good craftsman......
Always enjoyable to watch Mr.Dave on Friday nights. Just wish there were more Fridays....
Been trying to age wood all week, thank you for the 4-5hours tip and straining before using it. Next week I should have my window sill installed thanks to you. Love your work keep it up.
Another great video and learning session. Thank You!
So relaxing on a Friday night, drinking a cold beer, and watching you free up rusty nuts on a century old wagon! Good stuff-I love your videos!
I sure do enjoy watching you work. Ha
With the way things are going this could be a glimpse of what the future will be.
Keep up the good work, some day it could catch on.
Great vid again Dave, Thanks for sharing it with us. Greatings from The Netherlands!
A true artisan. No one knows what it takes to be a Michael Angelo of wagon building (Restoration).
Love your chair as nn
I love your camera work.... thanks for taking the time.... truly amazing work
The " Flame Wrench " always works. Great video. A friend of mine owns a Farm in SE Nebraska and there are wagon wheel ruts near a stream on his land that have been there since as long as anyone can remember. I think about the people and what they were like and their thoughts etc. I'm just a nostalgic old man. Have a blessed day.
Doing such amazing work with great skill - a privilege bar none. Thank you kindly. Following keenly and with great interest. Só much to learn and absorb. Pse dó keep at it with vigorous endeavour. Beste...!
You surprised me by saying you soaked some of these nuts for a month. I wouldn't have thought it took so long. Thank you
Up here in the rust belt, we call the torch the "heat wrench"! Can't work on any car older than 4 years without one. Nice video Dave, as always!
I am so impressed with all of the detail and craftsmanship that has to go into just one project. I hope I can make it by your coach shop some day.
Excellent, thank your efforts and for posting
Thank you Mr. Engels.
Thank you.
I love seeing this channel grow and there is a good reason. You do not need or use sponsors to keep thing's going just as you did in the begining.
Watching you work with wood and iron to make thing's usable again is a joy to watch.
I get many offers but would rather not. It's not why I do it. Thanks for being here all this time.
@@EngelsCoachShop the channel's that once were good have gone down hill because, they cater to the advertising wimps. Then it become's a advertisement instead of what it started out to be.
Ps then the truth is gone.
God Bless and have a great day.
I enjoyed seeing the broken brass valve stem used as a punch. I work on ships and there is usually a drawer full of them just for that.
