- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 มิ.ย. 2018
- This sheep wagon, or sheep herders wagon, gets a new top cover, finish trim and a trip back home. This wagon will be setting outside as a display wagon so the goal is to make the top as durable as possible against the elements.
A fantastic restoration journey. Well done.
You made mention of viewers dropping off during the upholstery. Well I went out and found an old white sewing machine just to learn how to sew. I like to think I’m a jack of all trades. And I do learn a lot watching you. So I guess I’m saying thanks for your knowledge it improves mine!
The finished sheep wagon was absolutely amazing!!
I think it’s awesome to see all the trades involved in wagon making, and the fact that you seem to be a master of them all is amazing. Even the touch of riveting the hinges so they don’t come loose is a testament to your attention to detail.
It's the viartry of your trade which makes it so special because you need to cover many different jobs rather than outsourcing and just specializing on one thing. Not every aspect might have the same level of interest but it never gets boring either by just doing one and the same all year long. Excellent Video thanks for sharing.
Buggy siap tempat tidur ni dah hampir siap sepenuhnya........ Nampak kemas cantik bila dah siap.. Sentuhan uncle mantap terbaik.. Org yg htr utk dibaiki pasti puas hati bila melihatnya byee brrooooo
Not boring at all. I have learned a lot by watching others, TH-cam is a perfect classroom. People today can't do much in the way of helping themselves due to a lack of knowledge. I love watching all your skills. Thanks fr the opportunity to learn new things.
This has been an interesting restoration for me in particular as I grew up in the 1970's in Cumbria and SW Scotland and saw different types these Shepards Huts in use on almost every farm we lived on.
I used to love "camping out" in them out of season when they where brought down from the mountains/ hills (called Fells in Cumbria) for repair, maintenance and nostalgic camping use as they would be kept under trees in the orchard or grassed and tree covered glade, which almost every large farm had due to travellers or gypsies stopping on their routes at regular intervals.
My Great Grandfather was a Traveller, an engineer.
He travelled with 3 horses one pulling, one one standby for hills and one at the rear on walking rest.
Pulled a traditional Bow Top accommodation wagon and behind that a Flat Top Workshop/Engineering wagon complete with forge for boiler repairs etc.
He travelled the West Coast from Carlisle to Glasgow, his 3 sons where "Born on the hay" under the wagon.
Sadly he stopped travelling when his 2 oldest sons where killed in WW1 it broke his and particularly his wife Hannah's love of the open road...she waited for her son who was Missing, presumed dead, just in case he came home....
It's a little known fact that a huge number of soldiers where from Traveller stock, be it the Road Boys like my family or the Canal Boyo's.
Tough men, women too.
Many thanks for pulling up memories of my grandfathers stories and young lazy summers in Bow Top Van's.

Those no longer
Fascinating and heartbreaking story. Thank you for sharing that.

Likewise, thank you for sharing such an emotional family story. God bless your family for their sacrifices for freedom.
In my opinion, those that watch just for the woodworking or Blacksmithing are missing the entire point of your videos. Keep 'em coming!
Though he claimed to be upholstering when he did the wagon top, I'm just going to say he can call himself a roofer now!
Enjoy all of these videos, he does it all from beginning to end
It’s like a preview to your current project
Two points: Yes their are quite a number of disciplines in the carriage trade and I wouldn't begrudge any of them; they have all been very instructive. Keep up the good work. I am from Australia, so I don't quite identify with American wagons, but it does give me an idea of what was used here. We had an old wagon (flat-bed...) that was converted to modern day axles, but items like the fifth wheel assembly used similar principles in design and construction.
I have passed this YT video URL onto a fellow involved in Heritage Railways near where I live, and whilst it would be nice to retain "original stuff", this has turned out to be nightmare and a waste of money. I like the idea of the PVC sheet - it would be relatively easy to apply and a suitable coat of something (to imitate the original) would give a really finish with out sacrificing longevity.
Keep up the excellent work!
You cant please everyone. I love everything involved in the wagon work, Im a carpenter but so what. I rarely watch my own trade. I find other trades very interesting. Your work covers many trades and I like it that way. Please keep them coming. And thank you for your efforts.
Impressive skill set. Thanks for bringing us along,,, being allowed to tag along is greatly appreciated.
Saw the stove stack, how about the air conditioner, lol.
I enjoyed watching you upholster the roof, it's part of the restoration. I was hopin to see you upholster the Democrat buggy seats. I understand why but I have to say we love when you super speed up video when hammering nails
The upholstery is a very important part of a wagon. folks can put up with a few squeaks and maybe a bumpy wheel a lot better than they can tolerate the sleet and cold rain soaking them. You do excellent work on all phases of wagon building. I enjoy all of your videos. Thank You for showing them.
I am more into the metal (machining) trade but like all aspects of your work.
I admire your craftsmanship.
thank you for the video, I would just love to be working there with you. I love everything wagons. Love the upholstery work aswell.
Hi there Mr Engel. I haven't said anything because I am a new subscriber and came over with a suggestion of TH-cam after watching Keith Rucker at Vintage Machinery for about a couple of years now. He does a lot of steam locomotive work, woodworking, general machining and is a scientist working in the agriculture field on top of all of that. So he stays pretty darn busy as you can well imagine. He's easy to find and you and some of your subscribers may be interested in seeing his work too.
On this video I see that you are using the aluminium edging material on the corner of the roof.
I have worked on RV's a lot and did a full roof as well as other repairs on a few of them.
They make a corner material that is super easy to install and bend around corners or whatever shape you need to make them in.
They are waterproof and also have a rubber gasket material available if you wanted to use some of that. It may not be period, but it would work quite well for your needs I believe.
I am really enjoying your work, you are a true artisan and watching you work is great fun !!!
Thanks for the postings and I'll be passing this on to my friends too.
Take care and keep up the great work !!!
A Great use of good Lateral Thinking. Thanks for your Skill!!
We used to seat canvas on boat decks, onto old ( sticky) oil paint and paint the canvas with oil based gloss, re-glossing every couple of years, lasts well if you keep it going, What I’m trying to say is if your canvas is getting manky, give it a couple of coats of whatever colour is on sale !
Crikey! That’s looking tops! I hope that your customer is pleased with it, seeing as how it has come from a pile of firewood and rusty fittings.
I don't care if you used Flex Seal, I would still watch. Thanks for sharing.
OUTSTANDING JOB on covering the wagon! I LOVED that you brought the covering up to date, and used a modern material. That should last at least several decades.
Always intersting to watch whatever you're doing.
I am not among those who aren't interested in upholstery! I love the entire process that you go through to restore this equipment. Maybe several years in front of an industrial sewing machine has had some influence on me. Please continue to show all aspects of the projects that you accomplish. I just wish I lived closer so I could come observe/assist with some of these projects. Thank You!
so long as you make videos I will watch them. another fantastic job well done
I guess people watch what they want just like me, but to miss this series would be a total loss. It showed me Dave's extremely large abilities to do whatever needs to be done to finish a wagon. If it were a show wagon then I would want it original to the time. This was being rebuilt to use daily so the cover needs to be the best money can buy, to a certain point. As Dave said that's his job to find out what he will need to do. I'm glad I didn't miss these videos. Thanks for camera work that is very good, and time spent working with the camera. Stay safe
Indeed heartwarming to see your skills. No doubt, experience speaks.
Great restoration Mr. Engels. Your attention to the details (even washing windows) is an example for us to follow. I hope this question is not out of line, do you label or tag your work when you've finished? Maybe you might use a small branding iron to do it? Thank you for making these very interesting and informative videos. Wish you all the best, Joe
I love craftsmanship like this where there are many disciplines.
I remember running into these types of wagons in the owyhee desert in Idaho. Always a treat, and the wagons would almost always be where you'd never get a travel trailer.
i enjoy watching all of your videos. the craftsmanship, your location close to where i lived aged5-15. the desire to move back and have one on my property.
I stayed to the end. What an education.
You do nice work and are fun to watch thank you.
I loved seeing the upholstery. Awed by the skill set you bring to the job. Endlessly interested in everything you do in the shop to preserve the past.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about watching you work is that you have so many skills.
Beautiful job. I like the way you incorporated new materials with the older / original work. I really enjoy watching your videos as I see how a craftsman does his work, no matter if it is metal work, wheelwright, wood work or working with fabric. Please keep em coming.
Fabric covered aircraft now use synthetics (Ceconite, Dacron etc.). Heat shrink to taunt fit; last a very long time. Might be an option down the road. My Dad, uncles and grandfather spent a lot of time in those things in eastern Montana.
Fascinating restoration , nice finishing touches . I've lived in worse , be proud to live in that one 👍🇬🇧
I for one quite enjoyed watching your expertise with the old Singer on the buggy top. It might even get me to come up with a project that forces me to blow the dust off the old Consew I acquired a few years ago. Thank you.
Actually, I like the upholstery work, it shows how talented you really are.
Hi:
I liked what you used for the roof. What surprised me was you used two layers of this 21 th. material. I liked very much the three main colors you used. I also likes what I call pen stripping. I am also surprised how many different skills you need to do wagon building and repair. I enjoy all the different things things that you do in the shop. For me it is a great jot to see a talented craftsmen.
I would have expected some woolen blankets between the layers for insulation. What you say about the different trades you have to master is very true. I like to see things on the other side of the fence to push my horizon (if possible :-)). Even when you won´t do it by yourself, one should know something about to take care and appreciate.
Best part of my week. Watching you craft these restorations never gets old. Upholstery notwithstanding.
Another excellent video, thanks.
I found Monel staples when I re upolstered my motor cycle seat. The original staples were steel that rusted. Probably you can find Monel staples and brads for your air staplers.
Thanks for the vids
thank you for keeping this art alive!! its all an important part, not just the black smithing or just the wood work, one needs to know it all if one is to redo/recondition these beautiful parts of history,, thank you for sharing
that material you are using looks fantastic!!! it is called TPO roofing and comes in many colors. modern technology meets old world craftsmanship!! love your videos!
I enjoy all of your video's even the top on you redid
Haha- What you said about the Wagonwright having to be a Jack-of-all-trades really struck home. That's what draws me to your site- I'm fascinated by the multifarious skills involved in what you do. I have also become a JOAT- I have had so many different jobs in my life people think I am not old enough (at 73) to have lived all those adventures and learned all those skills. I just never got the chance to settle down into one life-long job- Thank God! Learning about work and working people and the amazing skills they have to master is one of the best parts of life.
Never apologize for your craft. I watch all you do and am amazed and learn so much.
Im a sucker for anything horse-drawn. The videos are always a treat.
amazing job dave.
I know that I am only one person but I don't care what job you do. I love the way you think ahead and make the results be really great. thanks for sharing. awesome job on sheep wagon Mr. Engels
I have found each of your projects very interesting from rebuilding or making new wheels to recovering the seat of a buggy. You have a unique gift of building or repairing wagons, buggy’s and the like. I look forward to watching your videos to see what you are working on and how you determine what needs to be rebuilt or replaced. Keep them coming you are doing a great job bring back to life parts of our past.
I look forward to all your video content. There's no doubt, that you are an excellent craftsman!
I enjoyed this video. Thanks for all you do to share your trade and entertain folks.
The amount of tools involved in doing these restorations is crazy
I for one am a big fan of the variety of crafts you demonstrate. I'm mainly a woodworker but who knows when I may need some other skill. I pick up all kinds of tips just by watching the flow of work. Love the craftsmanship and the videos!
Ingenious product usage
I very much enjoyed the sewing episodes,I am a carpenter but many other things and I learned to sew on a machine much like the one you have ,my grandmother taught me and it has served me well in many situations
Having grown up in Wyoming and traversed the northern part of the state more times than I can count, seeing the Thermopolis/Greybull junction brought a smile to my face, and I can't remember exactly where it is, but I know I've driven past Pitchfork many times.
I wouldn't worry about the lower views on upholstery videos. I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create the top to the surrey.
Many thanks.
Who ever Owens that wagon probably is very proud,very nice job
Sir, I live in Belchertown, MA and once upon a time Belchertown was called the carriage capital of the world with over 100 carriage and carriage related businesses in the area. Henry Ford almost built a plant here because of the experienced labor force which never happened. There is not one business remaining from this era. To see what you do is a snapshot into the past and the history you relate is educational, fantastic and quite frankly makes one take notice of the skill set you have. Just an observation, but I truly believe few people could do what you do at the extremely high level your at. Thank you for allowing me to watch. Truly amazing!
I hope some creative elementary or High School teachers have the time, in between tests, to use these videos. They are a look at the past - and a testament to a work ethic, not to mention each trade and skill. Thanks.@@EngelsCoachShop
Sir I could watch all the things you do for hours on end. It is truly something special what you do, Thank you for posting
As much as building codes have changed over the years you really have to wonder how some of todays buildings and other "outdoor" vehicles will last compared to 1800's methods. Especially when it comes to characteristics, I believe many designs of the 1800's far exceed todays ideas. I'm referring to the structure at the end of this video mostly. All it needs are some of the weatherization improvements we have today.
I love watching you work. You make everything look easy. I live in Scotland where you don't see too many wagons but I really want to build one after seeing what you do. Please keep the videos coming. Everything you do is interesting and your commentary is perfect.
````I didn't know sheep needed such a fancy place to sleep.
Looks great.👍
I like the upholstery, its unfamiliar to me and I learn from it. Thanks for staying your course.
I watch your videos every time. Never new the amount off engineering and craftsmanship involved. I just thought wagons we boxes on wheels. So, so much more than that.
I look forward to all your videos from wood bending to the fabrics. I thought the surrey top was one of the most enjoyable! A LOT of thinking and talent to get that thing looking and performing right. Outstanding work and thank you for taking the time to make these videos
Thanks so much for all the work required to film/edit/post these videos! Please keep including the upholstery and all the other complex finishing components of the trade! (Sorry they don't generate as many views as some of the others but be assured that those of us who do watch them appreciate them immensely.)
Great video.....at about the 13:40 mark, I would fumble with the chisel and shove it through the newly installed cloth......:)
LOOKS GREAT
I personally don't have the patience for upholstery or canvas work but I admire people who do. It's an art form as well as a skill, and thank heavens there are people such as you who have what it takes. I keep being amazed by the number of skills you have and can't help but think that there aren't very many who can do it all like you do. I'm reasonably capable myself and have a pretty well equipped shop, but what I can do doesn't hold a candle to what you can. Kudos all around!
Oh, I do my share of back patting, don't you worry. But I'm well aware of what my skills are and aren't. So when I see you guys doing detail work that requires a lot of time and patience, I know that's not my forte. I simply don't enjoy it, so I don't do it. But I admire people who can and do, and I'm grateful they're around. That's what I meant.
What a great job you have done on the sheep wagon. The owner must be very impressed with it. You have presented a wonderful display of your skills and I have enjoyed every minute of the reconstruction of the sheep wagon. Cheers and thank you
Im a roofer, and ive used that material alot. We use special duckbilled visegrips to latch onto it, attached to a comealong puller by a cable.
I enjoy all aspects of the build myself. The sheep wagon looks great.
very nice, enjoyed the ride.
Congratulations master..
I like it ALL, keep it up.
That is a realy nice thing!! I would like to travel around now. And so many detail work which make the waggon very unique. Good Job!!!
OOOOOh too much open projekts. Brick BBQ, Stove and oven; Lancaster longrifle aso.But in three weeks we go for a viking reenactment with the tent. That will be good too :-))maybe I will make a vid for the channel.
Awesome job
Enjoyed this series on the rebuild of the sheep herders wagon very much. Your skills and those of the people that helped along the way are most impressive.
the handyman will watch all you do to learn more. that is why i love this channel. handyman after retirement. thank you for all you do. a man can never learn to much.
Hey, i’m still watchin’. Show me all of it. I can take it🤩
I have enjoyed all of the videos I’ve watched wood working, blacksmithing and upholstery. They have been very educational.
Your using those really long scissors, another great video
Awesome! Would be a great tiny home. Well done! Beautiful loaded on the trailer and in the grass, wish I could just move in...clothes, few cast iron things, grub , water and firewood!
Love your videos. You sure do good work
please keep posting i just enjoy all you videos thanks for sharing your skills
Nicely done!
It's interesting that the viewership drops when sewing. I think most guys are intimidated by a sewing machine, assuming that only girls use them. I spent 30 years or so as a theater tech, and while I spent most of my time working with wood, metal, and paint, I sure spent a good amount of time using various kinds of sewing machines, grommet tools, and the like. It's all part of making things.
Fully glued to this episode as in, my interest in this is high. :)
Amazing restoration! Love the incorporation of new materials.
Very nice job
Nice, very nice! Thanks for showing.
I injoy all your videos no matter what it takes from start to finish. Always wanted to know how to refurbish the old wagons and carts and even buggies. Thanks for giving me an insight on the work it takes to get the job done. Wish I could spend sometime with you.
I found the whole series interesting, even the upholstery! Thanks for taking the time to upload your work😊
Nice work. Its always fun to see all the different trades that most people wouldnt think of with rebuilding and repairing wagons.
Nice to watch
