Not only are you amazing at making wheels, you are amazing at making videos.
I don’t believe this channel exist to make money from views ...etc. ....this gentleman has pride on what he does. A real multi skilled master craftsman. Amazing hand skills
I have watched only two of your videos so far Sir. I am deeply moved by your skill, craftsmanship and knowledge. As time permits I will be viewing each of your videos. I am a retired Steam Turbine Millwright and fully understand the satisfaction you feel in performing your craft. The first video I watched was the Borax Wagon Wheel build, 8 total. Absolutely amazing. If I were 45 years younger I would work for room and board to apprentice in your shadow.
How long before the knowledge and skills to do this kind of work is gone? Knowledge of steamboat technology, the vehicle that built America in the 1800s, is almost non-existent today. Great to watch a craftsman.
There is nothing on this Earth more satisfying that working wood with your hand tools. Very relaxing video! .....And I thought truing motorcycle wheels was difficult......
Learn something new with every video
Man them old wheels was cool as hell good work
A Craftsmanship level I hope to gain one day. Wood working is a passion of mine but it is difficult to transfer the ability from head to hands..... Thank you for your time and inspirational thoughts...!!!!!!
God given patience and talent
If you need a halfway job done, Dave Engles is NOT the guy to do the job. His craftsmanship and artistry are rare and a joy to see.
Grandpa mentioned how it was a bad day when a spoke gave way while driving the wooden wheeled fords,Another great video,its 2022
what a great presentation cant Believe the great workmanship
You have become my new favorite TH-cam channel. I don't know what you charged to rebuild these wheels, but seeing all the meticulous craftsmanship you put into the job, I can't imagine you charged enough.
Great Craftsmanship Thank You ❤
Love watching a craftsman at work! As a small boy visiting Silverton Colorado my grandad would take me across the street to watch the blacksmith work. Thanks! Rye
The craftsmanship of building a wagon and a wheelwright carried on for a number of years into the horseless carriage era and your skill saved the wheels
This brings back so many memories. My father was a master wheel wright in Oklahoma. I remember back in the 50's as a child, watching him build and band buggy wheels. Wish he had lived long enough to teach me the skill.
@@EngelsCoachShop My great-grandfather was a wheelwright but I never knew him.
A cup of coffee, a comfy chair and an Engels video is my favourite Saturday morning wake up. Thanks again.
I'm so glad there's still someone out there who can do this.
So many years of experience in one 22 minute video. An absolute joy to watch
Grew up with an antique car and coach museum over the fence, the guy that owned it was a magician in my eyes, he died many years ago bless him , thank you for bringing back the memories
Very interesting. I almost hate to hear your "Thanks for watching." I do not want it to end.
I feel the same way
It is we, your viewers, who should thank you. Your channel and your presentation is a pure
joy to watch.

I'll 2nd or 3rd that comment. !!!!!!

Yeap.
You have that mark of so many real craftsmen - a quiet, measured unflappability that comes from years of experience. Thank you!
It is amazing that you have to clean up what someone else had done poorly, but you always find a solution that works and makes it like it was suppose to be from the start. You are a true craftsman.
These videos are my new obsession. Rare skills and nicely demonstrated. I’ll never tire of watching excellence and find this relaxing.👍🏻
Wood shrinkage is a pain, no matter what your profession. This guy thought he had a simple job on his hands, and then wound up throwing away everything except the hub and the outer band because the parts had shrunk unevenly.
@@WardenWolf Grandpa mentioned keeping the wheels wet,soak in the creek back in the day
Agreed these videos are addicting,enjoy them all ,no matter what he is working on ,its march 2022

I worked in my younger days erecting agricultural & private house fences and, at the end of the week, my 'mel' (Scottish 16/18/24lbs heavy fencing hammer) would be placed in a bucket of water over the weekend ready for Monday morning.
I used to see other contractors who never took the same steps and their hammers were always loose and needing re-shafted.
It's a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. It's no wonder why them got busted up so bad. Thanks for allowing us to see how it once used to be done!
I am old joiner myself and I always want to do the job right first time don’t cut corners as my dad used to say 😊
There’s no manual or computer that show a fix like you have just done Good old experience and ingenuity as always Thanks for sharing your Talent
On the other hand, less informed people can leave problems until future parts are damaged, we wouldn't want that at highway speeds.
I have wondered for years how these old parts were made. I was raised on a farm in the 50's and we had three teams of draft horses and horse drawn equipment for all of the tilling and harvesting. All of the neighbors had tractors and "modern" equipment. It was embarrassing for me at the time and I resented being so poor that we had to use the old stuff to get the crops in. Now, several decades later I would be proud to be doing the work with that old equipment. Time certainly has a way of adjusting one's attitude. All of the old equipment has since developed feet and walked off during the night. Now it's being used for lawn and yard ornaments all over the country. Thank you Mr Engel for the fine videos, they are much appreciated.
I have spent timless wandering in this Museum. It is seemingly a long way from the beaten path. They have a old Jennie from WW1.
You are not only a master craftsman but an artist as well. Your work shows it. Thanks.
Dave, When you test spun the wheel and it ran that true, that's a drop the mike moment. My work here is done. Enjoyed watching your skills. Gary
So glad you video all of these wheels, Everyone of these are unique jobs that need repair. It's so nice to learn from such a true Craftsman on what seems like a long lost art of wheel making. Keep videoing and sharing.
Clock. Thanks for what you do.
I have been watching you for some time now and enjoy your videos
Every video is like a masterclass in craftsmanship of the highest order. Absolute respect for you workmanship.
My wife and I visited Western Antique Airplane and Automobile Museum (WAAAM) in Hood River, OR and this is a very interesting museum. This is a world class museum and folks from all over the world come and view the unique vehicles, planes, guns, etc.
Incredible craftsman ship, my grand father made and repaired wagon wheels and I have all of his hand tools but I have never tried to do wheels. I do use some of them in my work. Great job and I enjoy the videos.
@@EngelsCoachShop if I crippled up with this Agent orange in my back believe me buddy I'd be in the shop doing something, I love working so much.

I hope this guy has like 5 apprentices, because we need more artists like him working in wood.
he actually likes to work by himself
My Friday evening treat watching your videos. Thanks for letting us come into your workshop.
Thanks Dave for the masterful repair of the buggy wheels. I am glad your company still exists and the craft art is not lost!
WAAAM thanks you for helping to bring the Everybody's car back to life again.
Dale Nicol, Hood River, OR
At each step, each adjustment, I can only say: "perfect, sir". Thank you very much!
Every time I watch your videos, I learn something new. Thanks
You are a master craftsman with lots of talent, knowledge and patience. These are all in short supply today. Your tools are awesome as well. Keep the videos coming.
Very nice work by a great tradesman
as a 3rd generation carpenter/contractor and an engineer and part time machinist, I can appreciate and respect the "old fashioned/oem" craftsmanship; I'd be too tempted to improve and/or "modernize" the design...
Growing up I enjoyed working for people that really knew what they where doing and would teach you. It would be awesome to learn how to do this, it is a skill that not many know anymore. Amazing skills.
Mr. Engel, I have enjoyed all your videos and this one especially. In it you are a detective, master wheelwright and machinist too. Thank you so much for exhibiting for us all crafts that you have mastered so well.
As a person who works at a craft myself (gunsmithing), I find it enjoyable to see a Master at work.Your work is exquisite. Thank you for sharing it.
Beautiful pair of wheels , such a joy to watch them come alive 👍🇬🇧
From the other side of the pond I admire not only your skills but also your sometimes down to earth solutions to a problem you don't try to baffle us with complicated solutions to a simple problem long may you continue to do so my sincere respect to you sir
You do a wonderful job and I am extremely impressed, and I am a regular. I had a wheel (dished), for my De Dion Bouton remade, and it was great for about 6 months then felt a little loose, so I dismantled it and placed some heavy canvas washers soaked in linseed, between the fellows and the spoke shoulders, it tightened the wheel, and many years later is still sound, I guess that the lumber (hickory), wasn't quite seasoned long enough.
I find it interesting how you use simple fixtures to repair the wheels and the lack of specialized equipment.
Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us.
Always interesting and now I know how it’s done thanks
Amazing! If people only knew how many years it takes to get that good.
Yes, many years, and a very good brain to match.
Yes many.
*decades
I enjoy these videos because there is a level of measuring, an accuracy that very few people, myself especially, can achieve. Mistakes here are costly. Also, the guys have room and equipment to do the work. Love to see them build a boat.
Beautiful craftsmanship; amazing that all parts were put together to end up with a wheel that turned out in a balanced perfect circle. Thank you ECS.
A joy to watch a tradesman at work. Best Regards from England.
I remember my grandfather telling me how incredibly involved the old wheels were. Great Job!
Not that I know how the wheel should be made, the rubber gave me a what the hell were they thinking moment. Having worked on cars and forklifts if one wheel goes the other's not far behind. Thanks for sharing Dave. You've got snow and we have rain. Los Angeles is a desert, without imported water and rain to fill the aquifer we're cooked.
The museum should be grateful that you video documented this. Very interesting too!
A unique build. At the transition from horse and carriage to horseless carriage! Very much enjoyed. Thank you.
Im glad we have youtube for knolowdge like these can go over more generations.... men you are a master grettings from merida mexico
Beautiful work
This looks so easy but it is an amazing skilled person with decades of expierience hope this craftmanship will passed on to the younger generation.
wheel building is such a beautiful ritual
I used to do the same thing for my bikes
spoke orientation, slowly adding tension and finally truing to perfection : )
Building spoked wheels is like knitting for me. Soothing but productive.
What greater way to start the weekend than sit back and watch your superb work. Thank you.
I'm just blessed to be able to watch an amazing and wonderful craftsman like you. I can tell that you have a lifetime of experience and knowledge. I'd give a lot of paychecks to be able to spend some time in this guy's shadow. Thank you for this
I'm amazed at how much you know about all of the various wheels. I really enjoyed the wagon you made. My grandfather apparently had one, which I found in pieces in the woods. I gathered all of the pieces (axles, what's left of the huge wheels for references, and side pieces. I never knew it was there until I went exploring. I have thought of recreating it.
Thank you Mr Engels for another demonstration of the wonderful skills you have.
I would second that. It's wonderful to get a look at how things were done 100 years ago. Thank you very much.
The circumference measuring tool is really nice
Thank you for letting us see the work it takes to fix things right. Craftsmanship all the way.
This is just a fantastic video!! I've driven my antique truck to the WAAAM museum in Hood River Oregon for a visit. It's an excellent museum. The work you've done on those wheels is top notch. I've been around this blacksmith and restoration game for a long time, and I mean it when I say that you are probably the best wheelwright in the country!!
I'm sure that there are a couple of Amish guys that are pretty good too. ☺
absolutely outstanding.
Binge watching your channel , getting a history lesson along the way , at same time it feel relaxing and therapeutic trying kick off the hard winter blaws we experience here in Atlantic Canada over last couple months , the 6 ft high likes of snow are melting and just can't wait for the temps to rise slightly to get back into my little shop and put some these trucks of the trade I've picked up over the winter to my own use .
Mr Engels. your background know how is something. you seem to have a jig for everything. I am just glad you take breaks between videos or I would never get up off my well you know. thanks for the sharing
I have the highest regard for your ingenuity and patience. You,sir are a MASTER of your craft! Thanks for making these videos. I could watch for hours.
It's always a pleasure watching a master craftsman. Thanks for posting!
You are slick at what you do,very enjoyable to watch,, there aren’t to many real craftsmen left. Job well done, thank you.
I like the fact that you're so close to where I live, just two states to the east of me.😁 love watching these videos, I don't ever plan on doing this but appreciate that it is still done.👍
Quelle maîtrise du bois, du métal. Très beau métier. J'espère que quelqu'un prendra la suite pour un métier aussi passionnant. Moi je dis bravo. 👏👏👏👏👏
What an absolute craftsman!
Just found your channel , it's been a real pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work , well done sir, very impressive👍
I was raised in Wyoming, and on our ranch, we had wagons and buggies and sheep wagons, and this all brings back memories. You are indeed a master craftsman and it is such a pleasure watching you create, rebuild and recreate all of these wonderful things. I remember when they put truck wheels and tires on our sheep wagons. I was so disappointed. They just looked odd and so out of place. Again, thanks for all of your videos and for sharing.
Big thank you once again for a Friday night treat in woodwork and wheels . If you were a chef the talent you have would be good enough to cook a 3 course meal from a pan of boiling water.
Sir, you are totally amazing. I'm in awe whenever I watch you work. The knowledge and craftsmanship you exhibit is at a whole other level.
Again another great presentation of Historical preservation. Thanks.
I had no idea that wheels were that complicated. Thank you for showing us all that you do .
As I watch these videos, I continue to be amazed at the craftsmanship shown. Outstanding work!
That was cool to watch. “Simple” craftsmanship that’s been almost lost to time.
Amazing, an actual wheelwright. a true craftsman.
I can now see what I should have done on the Model T I once owned. Very informative
I agree. The rear wheels on my wagon were a lot easier than the smaller front’s. Thank you for taking the time to record and pass along this awesome skill I wouldn’t of been able to do without your knowledge. 👍
i did not see this before but am happy to see it tonight. thanks
Another delightful look into preserving history. Thank you for sharing.
65yrs ago as a boy I loved the wooden wagon wheels but could never understand how they withstood side loading ie a ton wagon rounding a corner or traversing a slope. Now I have my answer. Thankyou sir.
Extraordinary effort sir. You bring history to life in these captivating videos. I never fail to learn at least a half dozen things with every one.
I am amazed at the product you produce. Thanks for sharing.
Thank goodness for utube to document this lost art.
