I wasn't kicking the TV out, but had the same thought about bringing it into living room as center show piece! It would take quite a big check to pull something with that much time and attention away from me. Separation anxiety!
Even if I had detected the “mistake”, how would I dare mention it? I am still in awe by the beauty of the process and of the outcome, as well as the breadth of skills you demonstrate week after week. Nowhere else could one watch striping and find it spell binding. It’s all fantastic!
wow Dave is there anything you cant do. First i was impressed with you just changing tyres on a wheel and everything that went into that, then i saw your black smithing skills, wood workign skills, welding skills, paint booth skills, tailoring skills, electrical skils, machine skills. filming skills, video editoring skills and now striping skills. you make everything look so easy and after all that and you still manage to share some of your knowledge on the history of what you had just completed. all while staying grounded and humble. Thank you for sharing you passion and knowledge
I totally agree! I have often cited this channel as a reference for perfect balance of volume to others who had attempted to split my eardrums with blaring noise (that I refuse to call music) and as a drummer I am otherwise not too easy to impress with loud music where it belongs: in an open air concert!
My uncle rebuilt and painted some old coaches. He got the jobs because he was the only coach builder who brush painted. Nineteen coats of paint and ten of varnish with flatting between each coat. The dozen or so crests were hand painted.
Back in the 'good ol days' I used a older guy for pinstriping that would show up with his tattered box of brushes, paints and rags. His hand were well worn and would shake like the dickens. I would have a half rack of his favorite brand of beer ready for his consumption. After about an hour his hands were steady as a rock, and he would proceed to lay down beautiful lines and designs that would make ya smile with pride. His master pieces are works of art. I miss him and his work these days. It is a dying art, as he has past on, as many like him. Thanks for sharing Dave/regards.
In 1987 I paid a guy $40 and a case of beer my dad had to buy (because I was too young) to lay down a single stripe down each side of my old Pontiac. I live in town with a good car culture, and don’t know of anyone who can stripe with a steady hand and a brush. You’re right it’s unfortunately a dying art.
@@judsonr1 craftsmanship is a dying art, cause most people are after the money they don’t care about the piece they are making.If you are good enough and pay attention to your work the money will come.
Wow I didn't think the paintwork would look like glass, I thought at the beginning of the build that it would be a shame to cover all the beautiful wood and metal work with paint, but I should have known better, I didn't expect it to be so good. All the best Richard 🇬🇧
Many years ago I worked in the Royal Mews where all the Royal coaches and carriages were stored , I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to the guy that did all the day to day painting repairs to the vehicles , some of which were used on a daily basis so needed constant maintenance .The ease with which he did the lining was a testament to his years of experience ..All the solid paint was brush applied as was all his lining work , it never ceased to amaze me the mirror like finish he achieved with a brush .The brushes were all the finest quality and were meticulously cleaned after use .If I remember rightly the lining brushes were camel hair ..watching you brought the memories of forty tears ago right back ..
Camel hair used to be common for very good artist's paint brushes, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear of someone using them for detail painting on a coach.
Stunned - wasn't expecting that. Guy on the 'Art of Boat Building channel' always says' whatever you make - make it beautiful'. Dave, you certainly achieved that.
How is it so mesmerizing watching you stripe? It’s amazing that there is enough of a market for such a niche. I’m so glad because, the world needs more craftsman like you to bring beauty.
Mr. Engels, you have respect for the old craftsmen - well you truly are a craftsman yourself! Your incredible repertoire of skills (I still am amazed at what you are capable of doing and to the level you achieve!) on everything... there is no better way for you to show respect for the old craftsmen then to continue as you do! Your videos are close to being as amazing as you truly are. You are a joy to experience!
A buggy made in the late eighteen hundreds would have had paint that was made in the late 1800s. Also in the late eighteen hundreds there wasn't paint guns or paint booths so there would probably be dust dead insects and visible brush strokes in the paint
@@canaan5337 You don't understand your past nor do you understand real painting. If you know what you're about, you can achieve a near-mirror finish with a brush and the correct paint. Until the late 1800's each painter made his own paint, and because the materials came mostly from nature there was no specific formula involved to follow- you had to know how each ingredient acted and reacted with each other from experience. You had to learn the feel of laying-off with your brush to avoid lap-marks. Humidity and temperature variations required changes in the paint. It was a near-art, totally unlike today where anyone can do a half-decent paint job by throwing enough money at it. They also used things you can't get today due to laws regarding hazardous substances and pollution. Spend some time looking at original finishes found on museum pieces. Look at the deep beauty of antique Japanese lacquer-ware. It was all done by brush without paint booths and it is often flawless and even unmatchable today. Maybe then you'll understand that knowledge and skill can make up for a lot of technology and sometimes even better it.
That is a 10,000 dollar paint job . it is beautiful Dave . I love your channel you are the best in the land . I can do most anything but not good at none of it . You are a true ARTIST.
I like to think of them as the "Craw" of the job. I used to paint homes for a living and was considered the "Cut Man" on the job. and i can go back to homes I painted 40 -50 yrs ago, and tell you all the mistakes I did on that job that "Stuck in my Craw" no days they cover them up with the term Patina! This generations excuse for honest mistakes. etc. There are no mistakes. just tiny memory loss of concentration. Great Job Dave Thank you so much for sharing.
Dave, we all wish you good health and a long life! You can't get sick because we always want to watch your great movies. Thank you, and see you next week :)
Me personally have never been interested in horse drawn coaches, but I find myself watching your videos and am in awe of the absolutely beautiful work you do. As for your mistake, Ha ha I don't think so, I call it Engels Touch..
One of my best friends was a sign painter and striper. Incredibly talented with the long brush, he would use nothing but Painters One Shot paint because he could still get it in a lead based formula which he said was far superior! When painting, he would constantly groom the brush hairs between his unprotected fingers to get the optimum shape for whatever he was doing. Sadly, he became a victim of cancer. As far as your work, I don’t know why it surprised me that you did your own striping, you’ve mastered every other facet of buggy work, but it did! Your talents are unbelievable Sir! WOW!
Mistake or not, I’d didn’t see it. What I do see is the skill, attention to detail, care and patience you have in doing all the different things you do, especially in painting and the details after painting. Not only is your work beyond compare, you have made me and I feel many others who watch better craftsman in our own shops. I know since I started watching you many years ago I have improved in my shop work, attitude to the work and the final product shows of these efforts. Fridays are almost holy days waiting for your video to come out and then watching it a few times over. Thanks again.
Dagger Lining was my Grandfathers job. Story goes that he was renowned for the flourishes he could flick at the end of the very straight line he would apply. Further to the story I was told was that he could replicate from memory both sides of a carriage or vehicle such that it looked a mirror image. My Great Grandfather was a coach and buggy builder and blacksmith so naturally I am totally engrossed in your workshop being that this is a rich part of my family's oral history. Just remembered something else I was told about how they would paint back in the day before spray guns. They would heat up the paint pot till it nearly boiled and then dip a paint brush in and apply a thin very runny coat which they would wash over the surface and allow to drip off as they would work from the top down.
And with pinstripes in particular you get to know you are carrying on a tradition that goes back to ancient Egyptian war chariots. Which is a super cool history tie in
Your array of skills and your craftsmanship is just astounding. The list of things that you know how to make and fabricate is almost endless. I am in awe of your experience and knowledge in working with so many different types of raw materials. Wonderful videos. A historical museum on video. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your projects and restoration adventures!
My parents' first car (and the first car that I remember) was a used Packard ......... that shade of maroon. I loved that car, the back seat was like sitting on a sofa.
Just beautiful!!! I think I saw a mistake on the hub striping but I don't know diddly about detailing a buggy, so I'm not going to insult you. You are a master at what you do!! Truly awesome. I hope the owner appreciates it. It's a work of art.
Visiting your channel every Friday evening is like visiting an old friend and asking: -So, what have you been up to this week? No matter what you have to show it's always a joy to watch what you have done. I guess that everybody caught your mistake with the differing height of the stripes. You did an extra panning just to show off. :-) The quality of this build is amazing.
No. The idea of Dave making a mistake, even if he says he did, simply goes against the grain. I'd maybe notice it and decide it was artistic licence and something to add interest.
Truly astounding, I had absolutely no idea of the many skills You have mastered . I see why you are self employed, no one could afford to pay you what you’re worth.
Hello Sir This striping is amazing and i am very astonished about your skills . That striping by Hand only a handfull of people can do this today Thank you for sharing this with us Take care greetings from Germany yours Frank Galetzka
A Craftsman, always see the flaws. But they also blend them in, where everyone else will never see it. Built a big bookcase. Every time I look at it, just shake my head. While everyone that sees it. Thinks it perfect, when one piece is off enough to almost make me tear it apart to fix it. Almost but not enough to redo all that work.
I build things too. One relative just had to have a 6' x 2' x 2' spice/storage cabinet I built on the fly. All I could think was "You want that junk"? Lol!
The paint work is brill , It just goes to show that all that sanding is worth while even though it is not seen or even thought about after seeing the finished work of art.
If I were building this wagon, I think, for me, the hardest part of the build would be to part with it at the end. Awwwwe, it's looking so beautiful and that striping is such a small thing but it adds so much. Awesome work as always.
Thank you for the lesson On stripe ,line and pinstripe I will no longer say I pinstripe I now line or stripe !2hat a beautiful work of art and machine!
Bob Ross of buggy painting. Incredible paint job. A real joy to watch a master craftsman at so many different crafts. Thank YOU for allowing us into your world.
Whew! What a job. I sure hope you are compensated for your work and artistry on this puppy. I know, if it was me, the owner of this wagon would think he bought a Ferrari when he got the bill!
Wow!! what a beautiful buggy color and finish. I really appreciated the joinery and metal work including the design. I was impressed with the top fabrication as well, but never expected to be so taken by this seeing that chassis and undercarriage looking so amazing, and my favorite color as well. Sometimes words can't express seeing something like this as it would have looked right out of the factory over a hundred years ago. I know of many that are good at a few fabrication disciplines, however I have never seen someone that is so versatile in his entire trade. Keep the great works coming.... Joe
I haven't missed an episode going back to those incredible Borax wagons (and that includes every minute of sanding). This has to be my favorite. This buggy is an absolute work of art and a joy to behold. Being allowed to follow along as it comes together is a true gift. Thank you for bringing us along.
Forgett this mistake. Nobody can see both sides at the same time. I am astonished how many items you put together for this carriage. It looks so simple and light. Great work!!
EXCELLENT work as usual! This project has been a great build thus far. As an engineer and furniture builder I take great pride in watching you do what you do every week. Thanks much for sharing.
13:54. The stripe is on the inboard end of the Hub's outboard-most "plateau" rather than the outboard like the other two stripes on that hub. That said, it is clear that the prep work certainly shows up in the quality of the final finish. The multiple cots of primer and sanding surely makes a difference. I've learned much in watching.
I have done my fair share of striping myself and know what it is like to have your work scrutinized to the minute detail so I won't list the "mistakes" that I noticed because that is some of the class that a hand striped job has that makes it so special in my opinion. When it comes down to it absolute perfection is impossible anyhow so we should only strive for what makes us proud to say we created it anyhow. I don't think you should say what the "mistake" was in next weeks video either but that is just me. Lol
Stunning. The flexibility of your abilities and hand control are awesome. These people don't realize they can do many more things that they are willing to try and you don't just try, you achieve
My grandfather in Reno was the Cadillac shop manager. Back in the day I'm sure you know Chome was seldom used. Striping was the touch. Anyway they had an old boy who did only striping. My grandfather told me that first thing in the morning the old boy shook to much so he had one of the clean up guys go and buy half pint of hooch. Then the expert came out of him!!
Why did TH-cam recommended this to me, is a really strange thing, but I thank it did! Tour painting skills are astonishing, and watching the finished wheels going round is hypnotizing. Best regards.
A old man told me 30 years ago..a real proffesional make small misstakes on will. becours only Good is perfekt..??!! i didnt see your "misstake" and just love your work loooks perfekt 4 me!!

Bob Ross used to say there were no mistakes, just happy little accidents.
Your work is awe inspiring.
If that buggy were mine I would have it in the living room and my TV out in the yard, who needs a TV when you have a work of art like that to look at.
agree
You joke, but i know a couple that has a converted buggy into a bed. It's quite ornate and well painted.
I wasn't kicking the TV out, but had the same thought about bringing it into living room as center show piece! It would take quite a big check to pull something with that much time and attention away from me. Separation anxiety!

Well I do believe I heard Dave ask to tell him of the “mistake”.
The Von Dutch of Stripe painters.
Wow. I wish I had a magic paint booth where all I needed to do was close the doors and then re-open them to reveal a painted piece.
In my 76 years I've never had the need for a 2 seat buggy. Now I want one ??? In my living room , in a glass case .
Brilliant video Dave
wow Dave is there anything you cant do. First i was impressed with you just changing tyres on a wheel and everything that went into that, then i saw your black smithing skills, wood workign skills, welding skills, paint booth skills, tailoring skills, electrical skils, machine skills. filming skills, video editoring skills and now striping skills. you make everything look so easy and after all that and you still manage to share some of your knowledge on the history of what you had just completed. all while staying grounded and humble. Thank you for sharing you passion and knowledge
Also, his use of music is, at least for me, perfect ! I can hear the sounds of his shop and machines not some god awful noise.

Your attention to your camera angles and details are great as usual. thanks again!
My uncle rebuilt and painted some old coaches. He got the jobs because he was the only coach builder who brush painted. Nineteen coats of paint and ten of varnish with flatting between each coat. The dozen or so crests were hand painted.
Even with the alleged mistake it is still the most beautiful wagon I've ever seen in my life

That's a Rolls Royce of a paint job, such patience a dedicated craftsman.
Somehow I have a feeling that the paint job on this is far better than what they had back in the day.
Great comment! My thoughts are this is the "custom shop" of buggies!

That cherry red is spectacular!
Master Engels; you are a National Treasure!
I watched it twice and still didn't catch any mistake. The beauty is in the overall appearance and this wagon looks great!
Craftmanship is always a joy to watch.
Dave, you ARE one of those old-time craftsmen and I admire you greatly.
Always in awe of your workmanship and attention to detail. I’m always jealous that you can sit on the floor and do that work and still get up🙂
Hand painted stripes are not "machine perfect", that's the appeal for me.
And with pinstripes in particular you get to know you are carrying on a tradition that goes back to ancient Egyptian war chariots. Which is a super cool history tie in
You. Can’t see both sides so if there is a difference who cares
Detail oriented craftsmen. How do you suppose Mr engels got so good?
Jack of all trades, Master of All! One of a kind.
Dave, you have the patients of a saint.

Good night this buggy is just gorgeous.
Beautiful work and I am sure the new owner will be highly delighted with his new buggy. Super work.
Also my wife who watches with me said “ he must have a steady hand”, to which I said “and experience”. Love to see the paint going on
I have the utmost respect for the work you do, sir.

I just now realized its going to be too beautiful to actually use when you are done.
13:54. The stripe is on the inboard end of the Hub's outboard-most "plateau" rather than the outboard like the other two stripes on that hub. That said, it is clear that the prep work certainly shows up in the quality of the final finish. The multiple cots of primer and sanding surely makes a difference. I've learned much in watching.
yep, still looks fantastic
You have like hundred different jobs in one. Its really impressive to be able to master so many different arts !
I have done my fair share of striping myself and know what it is like to have your work scrutinized to the minute detail so I won't list the "mistakes" that I noticed because that is some of the class that a hand striped job has that makes it so special in my opinion. When it comes down to it absolute perfection is impossible anyhow so we should only strive for what makes us proud to say we created it anyhow. I don't think you should say what the "mistake" was in next weeks video either but that is just me. Lol
Stunning. The flexibility of your abilities and hand control are awesome. These people don't realize they can do many more things that they are willing to try and you don't just try, you achieve
My grandfather in Reno was the Cadillac shop manager. Back in the day I'm sure you know Chome was seldom used. Striping was the touch. Anyway they had an old boy who did only striping. My grandfather told me that first thing in the morning the old boy shook to much so he had one of the clean up guys go and buy half pint of hooch. Then the expert came out of him!!
Now we see the benefits of all that sanding, that "sculpting" of the primer coats.
I found myself subconsciously holding my breath as you meticulously striped.
OMG 😱 Great job, I love 💕 that color……
