  • For some reason, stagecoach passengers think they need to stay dry. Mud wagon roofs are unique with their bent wood bow frame. This coach's top was missing, so we're reconstructing it from scratch, and from pictures. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles always brings it's challenges, but that's why it's so interesting. Thanks for coming along!

    Dave, there better be a parade to put this wagon in. Because everyone should see all the work you have put into rebuilding this wagon. Always a pleasure to watch. Well explained content. Stay safe.

    It's getting closer to being on the road. I'm hoping there will be some notice when it's complete and heading back to Washington state. It will be worth the drive from Seattle to Brewster just to see it arrive.
    Thanks for letting us watch.

    I'm amazed at the pile of scrap you started with then using your vast knowledge of wagon construction and photos you've come up with what i shaping into a beautiful end product. I am really looking forward to seeing it's completion but no doubt we're a few episodes away from that. Then afterwards I wonder what the next project will be from the pile you have out the back.
