Forging the Wagon Brake Hinge That Stops These Huge Wagons | Engels Coach

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มิ.ย. 2024
- Original Horse Drawn Wagons use mechanical brakes; either Roller, Lever, or Scissor style. The Borax water wagon needs a hinge for a lever style brake. This hinge is the pivot point between the brake handle and the brake bar and takes all the stress between the two. A solid forge weld is used in constructing this hinge and will attach to the rear axle.
Every piece in this vast puzzle, no matter how big or small is a project unto itself, each given the same care and attention to detail. A true craftsman is at work here. One who knows the only way to do it is the right way no matter the time it takes. This like all others was a pure joy to witness David. Thank you for capturing all of this on video for us and future generations to both enjoy and learn from.
It truly amazes me that Mr. Engels not only knows how to build things, but he has mastered the art of video photography and editing! Three completely different skill sets, one manual (construction) another technical (camera placement) and last but not least, artistic (editing). Good job!
@@EngelsCoachShop I think that it is a combination of all 3 of those in building of the wagon alone !
Fire, metal, power tools, raw materials turned into art. You, sir, are a Master Craftsman. I take off my hat and bow to you.
Who else looks forward to the Friday video .master at his best cracking and informative video as always .
I do~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Count me in... :)
Oh Yeah!!!
who's ya daddy
Me me me too
Even the wire brush looks like it could tell many stories! The best content on YT by far is this.
The rectangular hole was pure joy to watch. Awesome again, Jim
2:28 You are a master at bending those offsets by eye.
Dave. The highlight of my week is your video release on Fridays. I watch straight through, and heaven help anyone who interrupts! You never cease to amaze me with your engineering and forging skills. God bless you and yours!
That man could teach classes to the young people taking up this trade and they would be taught by the best of the best.
I love your videos. You not only have great craft but your videography/story-telling is great.
Question: "How do you make a water wagon?"
Answer: "You keep beating on metal till one pops out"
Sorry, couldn't resist. Thanks for sharing your hard work and skill.
I thought it was: "You take a piece of metal and knock off anything that doesn't look like a water wagon." ??
@@EngelsCoachShop LOL That's the humble response I would have expected from you , Sir . The camera work and editing is superb and adds an extra dimension to your talent . I played 4:10 a few times it was so good to see and hear.
Makes you appreciate just how skilled and determined our forefathers where. But, considering where this wagon was used would determine it's importance and need for dependability. Death Valley requires respect.
Does anyone else feel like the hammering is like a lullaby? I drift off every time...
High speed hammering is my favorite part
All that Hard work to make that excellent forged taper to thread and its hidden where only the maker can appreciate it. (and of course us who enjoy watching your videos LOL)
I was in the US Navy & was HT2 (a welder) watch you forge weld is is amazing. It memories of fixing broken when out to sea & had no repair parts.
Always at the end all I can think is such awsome skill and patience. I would be drilling and squareing holes on the mill as much as I could.
Thank you again. This project is SO interesting. And wheels coming up! My introduction was the borax wheels back in the day.
Excellent Dave. Love the slow mo.
@@EngelsCoachShop It was fun, thanks again for your time.
My Godfathers! You could have stopped the Titanic with a brake lever like that. What a craftsman.
Hi Dave, both my Grandfather and Great Grandfather were village Blacksmiths, but unfortunately my Grandfather had retired around the time I was born in 1957, but I am pleased to say that watching your video's has helped fill in a missing part of my life, so thank you for that! Keep up the good work, looking forward to my next lesson from my surrogate Grandfather! lol. Many thanks... Les.
@@EngelsCoachShop Another of your long drawn out answers Dave,
Fridays night cap just before I turn in bliss
Great . Just keep them coming.. I need my "mental health minutes" as often as I can get them
.
i love the old style forge work, its just great....
Just awesome. Thanks for sharing and happy forging!!!
Watching you is more than satisfying, I like your multi profession work and specialty.
The chamfer hammered hot on the plate was a very very nice job. Beautiful pictures. Continue for a long time. Thank you. Pierre de Vierzon France.
My Friday is complete I can now go to bed. Another video from my favorite channel
Dear sir, I have been following you for a while, I really like your videos, and the calm with which you work, I write to you from Sicily where in the not too distant past flourishing was the construction of wagons for different transports a greeting and continue so bye
your forge welding is something I always enjoy.
Wow! That is pretty cool how you did that! Your confidence in your forge welding, is quite apparent! You do alot of forge welding for alot of people is difficult. I myself would have drawn out some thick stock forming the angled portion with the boss for the threads, and then cut or split the two ears for the pivot. Great work, I'd love to learn forge welding like you do it.
Bravo Mr. Engels!
Love the sound "ding" on that anvil...
I hope these videos are being archived for safe keeping. Just in case the TH-cam ain’t around any more. Lots of old format videos have been lost when digital come along.
Someone needs to submit his video's to the Nation Archives.
I enjoyed the wood elevator at the beginning!
I'm very glad & thankful I found your channel Extremely Enjoyable & Educational! Thanks for sharing I'll have to visit Joliet, MT sometime.
Beautiful work.
Thanks so much 😊 I enjoy each and every Episode! You are an inspiration for sure. Blessing. To you and your family. Congratulations. On a job well done.
Afternoon uncle Dave... Terbaik buggy yg uncle hasil kan samada baiki custemer ataupun uncle buat baru.. Good luck uncle adddiiiooss
Ahhh threading! (12:00) Back in my young days as an Apprentice Millwright, I always liked threading and tapping. No joke! Don't know why, but there was something existentially gratifying about cutting new or rethreading old objects. Just one of those things. Of course, I was 18 and often sexually frustrated, so... there was that. :p
Great job on the forge welding!
Another great video. Look foreword to Friday afternoons just for these videos. 👍🏼
Another fascinating video. Thank you for sharing.
That's a big forge weld!
As always the very best stuff on video. Thanks
Fantastic close-ups. You are a great videographer in addition to your mechanical skills...THANKS!
Wow! That took LOTS of filing to turn that round hole (in the side plate) into a square hole!
Another fantastic episode :-)
Shear poetry in motion,I just wish I had a tenth of your ability !!!
At 0.07 in the video, is the Big and Tall Men's Shop just outside of town.
Cool slow mo.
I wish my chop saw was that fast!
Must be the new insta-cut model
I notice that too start the cut and done.
I wish my chop saw cut that fast, Ha Ha ha thanks for sharing. Charles
another great program nice one pard
Good morning from SE Louisiana 6 Mar 21.
This was a nice 'brake' in my day to watch your craftsmen ship. ...Art
I enjoy watching your videos and I think you do amazing work, I would like to come over and help out a little if my old back and age and you of course would let me peep around the corner. I sure hope you have some one who is willing to learn the trade.
I love your work. Thankyou for making these quality videos
Thanks!
Impressive work, Dave.
Looking forward to the next video....
Thanks you so much.a great video always.
I've been beating hot iron for a living for 29 years....this is impressive
Sir,you truly are AMAZING!!Thanks again for a great video!
A true craftsman...
I can’t wait for your videos, they make my day. You are indeed a great craftsman, I take my hat off to you sir.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a very impressive example on just how much work it is possible to get out of a Little Giant power hammer.
Did you cut those threads through the mill scale or did you grind it off?
Your def good at what you do...
....This is pure Art.......
Nice work as always. I need to build one of those acetlyn torch stands.... looks very handy.
@@EngelsCoachShop That is Mr. Dave's middle name........ Mr. handy
460 to 1 like to dislike ratio is rather amazing.
As much as I enjoy the wood working, I Iike the smithing better. Just a little bit jealous, I guess.
They didn't want the break system to fail. Heavy Duty Breathing System.
Amazing and inspiring !
Nice welding as always. Ever hear back from those folks on the Spanish Canon Wheels?
1 more day to go people can't wait
Genius.
Did I just see a reverse hot riveting job? Did you heat the steel and drop in a cold rivet, let the steel heat the rivet up so you could head it? That was amazing, always seeing something new here.
thanks again for your time agreat show. cepe um coming please.
You are AWESOME!
Lihat uncle buat brake buggy ini... Mantap uncle... I like your handmade.. Anything buggy or like car... Do you cant repair car or not.....???????
This might be a strange question, never mind, I always ask strange questions...... Back in the day when the first wagons were built, was this a team effort "by and with" the black smith(s), cooper(s), or carpenter(s) or what ever a wood specialist would have been called back then, heck, maybe even boat builders were involved or was all this work commissioned by just one man, aka, the black smith? I would think, the more men working on these, equals a speedy build... I watched the documentary your channel put together, that actually lead me to subscribing to your channel and maybe I need to watch it again, in which I do not mind that at all, as it was so inspiring and i for some silly reason had tears in my eyes at some of the ending points and the videography... When this wagon was built, what did it cost back then, and what would that be today 's equivalence, not the cost of the series you are building, as that is different, or is that the same thing, of what your series of wagons cost is equal to theirs with inflation?
amazing nice work
Enjoyed...........
I would like to see more of the red-hot metal dipped into water to cool it, complete with sound effects. I'm strange like that.
Ahh, full blown Spring in 'Big Sky Country'. Been watching the Welkers outside Shelby, planting.
Nice job, as always - I assume you forged the 1" holes instead of drilling them to get a stronger area around the holes?
Labour Intensive. I was amazed you forged that piece to the correct size for threading.
I was amazed he used the welder!!!!
A total joy
You're getting pretty good at this. I was wondering how much force does the hammer machine put down. Is it electic? Pneumatic? Really enjoy the videos as always.
That is great looking metal work. I am always impressed with forge welding, seems like a mystery to me that it works. On close inspection can you see the seam or does it look like one solid piece of metal? I can't tell from the video image.
Intriguing as always...what metal are you using for this forged assembly?
My engineer dad taught me to use an adjustable spanner (Crescent) just as you did, one way only. Don’t see that often.
Did you use the farrier rasp on the metal hinge assembly? Is that borax you sprinkle on the weld? Truly great videos, I envy your talent and patience.
Bravo Respekt Bravo ❤🤝❤
Any particular reason to forge weld the sided together rather than split a thicker piece and forking the sides out? Seems either would create a similar appearance and without a power hammer, forge welding such large pieces on an anvil would be tricky, at least for a small shop without the benefit of strikers
@@EngelsCoachShop What details lead to that conclusion? Beginner blacksmith here and I didn't see anything that would say it was done either way, but I don't have the reference photos to look at or the knowledge to identify what the difference would be, other than a seam along the side ot the part.
Why do you punch holes rather than drill them? Really appreciate your showing us your skills. Thank you!
@@EngelsCoachShop Thank you, that makes sense.
Great.
Hey, Mr. Engels : What is that building at the beginning of the vid. ?
5:49 seems like he's watched toafledermaus...
I know that these beautiful wagons are already done... my wondering mind was asking how long it took from beginning to delivery...
@@EngelsCoachShop Thank you. I grew up in the Mohave Desert in Needles, Ca... very cool...
anybody can answer my questions, so I don't consume the man's time. What was originally used to lube or grease any of the king pin pivoting points and wheel bearing/bushing areas, animal fat?
Hi, Mr. Dave... I notice there are two wire brushes near the anvil and have wondered why? Perhaps a Coarse and a Fine Brush? And that brings another WHY? :-) Thanks!!
