- Sheep Wagon brakes are unique from farm wagons. These are forged new and mounted. Where many brakes are operated from a seat above the box sides, the shepherd needed to be able to operate the brakes from inside the wagon door. So these brakes were designed differently than a customary farm wagon.
Thank you Mr. Engels I enjoyed every minute of that. Your smithing was great,even got the lathe and mill into action.
Special place in my heart for the sheep wagon. Too old now, but enjoy watching you work on it
Hey! that 50s linoleum in the bed of the wagon was on the floor of my families kitchen!
Uh, Doug - are you my long-lost brother? We had the same exact kitchen linoleum too! Way funny, huh?!

Dave, All the metalwork that you do, I’ve never seen you putting a Touch Mark to anything you’ve made. I know it’s an extra step in the process, but I think it’s about time, don’t you? You go through a lot, put in a lot, its only right that you put your ‘name’ to it. Keep up up the excellent craftsmanship. Your standard is one in a million. Truly.
What a fine and versatile trade you have, Sir. Blacksmith, woodworker, painter: a cartwright really is a Jack-of-all-trades!
A good brake on a wagon is important to take the weight off the horse when going down hills, it also gives the horse a rest. The brake also saves the britchin part of the harness from strain. On very steep hills l have the brake on enough that the horse is slightly in draught, which is much safer. Another very good video, thanks.
Another example of metal moving magic. Forging the lip on the handle for engaging the notches was especially impressive to me. I love the stepped up speed and lack of boring explanations for every move you make. Just right!
Mesmerizing for sure.
You are truly a National Treasure to this country by preserving these vanishing skills of a bygone era. Having them on video will preserve a true reenactment for future-generations that want an authentic representation. Far too much ego and trap-crap on many other channels. Thank you so much for keeping what you do real.
Fabulous!
Thanks for the wonderful insight into this world of nearly forgotten crafts you have kept alive Mr Engle ✅
The wagon will stop when the horses decide that it will stop. It's more of a parking brake to stop it from rolling away. Helpful when parked on a slope or when the wind starts howling, for sure. I suspect that it isn't fun to wake up in the middle of the night as your wagon is rolling down hill on it's own. Thanks for the effort to film and post the video and sharing your interesting line of work.
I sure enjoy your videos and I do like the boring explanations because I am not a metal worker and any explanations is good as book learning to me. Thanks for your excellence is passing on your trade. You are the example to be observed and copied. Thanks for sharing.
Always a joy to watch you work. Thanks for sharing.
You, fine sir, are a renaissance man. A wheelwright, a blacksmith, a finish carpenter, a mechanic, an artist, a videographer, a producer, a .....
I enjoy your videos and admire your skill. I usually watch twice. First to see what you are doing and then to check out the stuff around you.
I did enjoy watching that, thank you.
Yep, no words necessary, just gettin' it done like a Boss!
Good show!
Thanks Again for another Friday afternoon where my imagination is free to roam!! Smithing seems to make maximum use of metal's grain as it is moved and adjusted to suit!! Mr. Dave, it is always a pleasure!!
Fastest hammer in the wild west ... :) I very much love your videos - with deep respect for such a versatile craftmanship and that you keep the history living for years to come. Thanks !
Always enjoyable, thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed this very much. Congrats on being the go-to-guy for this type of craftsmanship!!
Another great video. And I have been enjoying the pictures you have been posting lately of the countryside.
Brilliant to watch a craftsman at work.
thanks again for making my friday
Outstanding workmanship and a pleasure to watch!
By the way the vinyl sheeting/flooring used inside the wagon likely dates to the 50s to early 60s I have seen that design a couple to times, but remember it because the same design was on the kitchen floor In my high school girl friends home in the late 60s. Seen silly to remember it after 50 year, but make a lot of memories it the house.
Excellent work !!
Wonderful. Thank you.
She sure looksa lot better than she did when you first started. Cant wait to see it finished.
Nice, really nice. You have a great skill!
Great job!
I do a little blacksmithing myself and this guy is pretty darn good. He used some difficult techniques and made them look simple.
I wonder what some of those pieces would look like if Janelle made them
Thanks for the entertainment I was sweating just watching, so interesting.
And again very skilful and professional work, thanks for the video.
Yet another masterclass....👍🏻
Excellent blacksmith work!
Very enjoyable video viewing!

in case of emergencies, use brake ratchet as saw to make firewood
Human ingenuity
Very good work thank you for bringing us along. I love the work you do.
Thank you Mr. Engels. Nice job.
It's a pleasure to watch youre videos
wagoneers will weep, when you quit workin truly a lost art .
Another great video, thank you for yoour time and effort in making them. And I didn't know you also had a mill, is there any thing you don't have in your shop? Just kidding no shop has it all...
انا اعشق هذا الرجل
I sure do enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work!!
Great work. Wonderful. But I don't understand why the cheesy linoleum was left in place. 😜
That lino is the same as I have on my bathroom floor.
Fantastic
Thanks
Thanks for all your videos. Merry Christmas
Amazing how much hand work goes into a single wagon and to think that at one time there were tens of thousands of different kinds of wagons. Also, Sunday is Fathers Day, there may be a new pair of gloves for somebody soon.
Very clever arrangement
All I can say: That's too cool! . . . .Curious though please: What was the real time of the brake assembly?
I did enjoy it..thank you for sharing your videos. You have inspired me to make my own wagon. Thank you again.
Very good. Thanks for sharing your skills. Your multitalented and very good at all your skills. Enjoy watching you create.
Where can I purchase that high speed hammer and file? Was that on sale at Amazon or eBay?
Nice work machining those parts. Thank you for sharing. Makes my Fridays a little more enjoyable.
have never sein a brake like that, before.
Great video. Thanks
I have a brother that plays with draft horses and i would study how some of the farm implements were made . mowers mostly have intrigued me . but all of them down to a potato plow i found fascinating .. just like your work .. thanks for the video
Amazing work as always but that brake ratchet looks like one heck of a leg catcher.
puts brakes on your wheel
but also puts breaks on your leg
Awesome :-)
Nicely done :-)
Nice hammer ;-)
Very cool. If you deliver it to Meeteetse, or the owner comes up and gets it, I hope I'm in town to see go through.
Well that's done, time for a brake!
I certainly hope you never get carpal tunnel. then you could not make more videos. great video. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful work again. I am totally amazed watching you and others smithing metal from raw stock into the parts you make. I am guessing that as the brake lever is inside the wagon the operator is sitting or standing inside when driving the wagon? Please correct my terminology where I get it wrong.
Thank you and another reason your videos are great. You share your knowledge, skills and abilities so we can learn more about your craft and the reason things are done the way they are.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a sheep wagon with no brakes.
Was the brake handle on the inside to keep the cattlemen from pushing the wagon off the cliff?
Are you following a set design for the brake, or do you just figure out a solution and make it? The way you freehand the smithing is so professional and skilled. Great work!
@@EngelsCoachShop I see a toe breaker at foot level, and basically a saw blade at shin height, right in the walk way. Does it get some kind of guard around it?
alsome ty
As always a great video. Question, where do you get your costume made gloves at! LOL!!!
Again outstanding in your work. is this your design or is that the way it was made in the old day. thank you
Love it. What's the ultimate disposition of the wagon? Is it a museum piece or is a shepherd going to be using it? Either way, I'm awed by the workmanship.
Excellent! That's the best thing it could be used for.
So do you drive it from inside ten?
Great job. Why is the brake in the living area and not near where the wagon gets hitched up?
Wagons were driven from the front of the living area near the stove. This is why the half door on the bottom of the front door. The single trees were hitched to the wagon near the root of wagon tonque. The driver stood in the door.
Fantastic ....did you drill and cut those teeth with a band saw, or drill and use the plasma cutter ?
EngelsCoachShop i gotta get up there and see your shop maybe ill bring my mobile blacksmith shop with me
Ego shopping?
was there a notch already cut in that box for the break rod or did you cut it , also why the location of the leaver in the door way ? thanks for sharing
ohhhhhhhhh and ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thanks very much :)
Just curious as to why the teeth on the brake ratchet were made on the outside of the bar, where you would snag your clothes on getting in and out of the sheep wagon? Couldn't they have been cut on the inside and the bar set out a ways from the bench to prevent this from happening? It would also protect the brake handle from being snagged and bent. I do like your skills and appreciate your videos. Thanks!
Thanks for the reply. Love your work.
Blacksmithing too?
You need a monkey or something to hold the nuts on the other side wild you tighten the bolts. I reckon you could train a racoon, they look pretty handy.
As much as a fan as I am of these videos< I fail to understand why the vinyl flooring material was kept in the rebuild.
Good job. Hopefully that laminate is going away...
shouldn't the "break teeth" be on the other side or should I say "inside of the bracket" with the lever in between the bracket and the wall so you don't rip your leg open when going past???
Never throw away a good pair of gloves.
Why would one want/need to operate the brakes from inside?
Wow! Someone might say that you do a pretty good job of replicating machine made metal parts but no they got that wrong, the machines do a fair job of replicating HAND MADE PARTS.!
A pity you had to leave in that 1970’s era vinyl flooring.
I'm sure the wife with a "darning" needle can patch up them gloves while ya eat yer supper
My family are the Renners from around Jackson Hole . (brought in sheep the old rascal did)
Nothing says original on a wagon like old linoleum
You're not going to fit many sheep in that...
