- Preparing for winter storage, I'm going to assemble the rebuilt mud wagon body onto the undercarriage and give an update on what's happening - or not happening. I need the space for the coming winter season, so it's got to be moved. Thanks for coming along.
Spring for mugs, tee-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies.

I can only imagine how special it would be to walk down the sidewalk and see your work!
I've been on that sidewalk! Even though he was closed, what I could see through the window was amazing!
I've been to the shop ....his work is fantastic
Watching these projects over the years makes time fly by so fast that it is amazing how many years that I have enjoyed this channel.
It's been a great ride! since Borax days
When he started talking about what year he did this or that, I was kind of surprised how many years I have been watching his work. Naturally, I am here to enjoy the process, like you, but it sure is nice to see some of his completed works like in this video.
I hope the customer decides what he wants. I've been looking forward to seeing it finished.
Thats a big Word hope
Those straps were a fantastic idea for a temporary solution to a problem. Also, that undercarriage looks incredible.
Mud Wagon seems a coarse title for something so elegant.
I bought and watched your wheelwrighting videos in the early 2000s. I've been watching your TH-cam videos now for years and enjoy watching you create and recreate these basket cases for which you are the best and most knowledgeable. I've learned a lot as you share your knowledge. Thanks for continuing on with your videos.
I want to thank you for bringing history back to life 🙏 see you next week
Doing it in stages makes sense! After all it’s a stage coach!,😊
And now there's leathering, and there's lettering to do! One for the mud and one for the muck ...
Thanks for allowing me to come along. God Bless You and Mrs. Engels.
I echo your sentiments. Thanks Dave and Diane.

Black ratchet straps - it's the way forward! Excellent temporary solution Dave
I had forgotten about the mud wagon! The engineering to build these wagons amazes me. I can also see many of the same ideas in the old cars and the names of the parts.
No tiene precio lo que hace este hombre para recuperar y mantener viva la historia de tanta gente. Gracias.
Looking forward very much seeing progress on this build .
I can't wait to see this hitched up to a team of horses. Hope I live that long. Looking forward to your next project.
Thanks Mr. and Ms. Engel !!!!!!!
great video Dave I had forgotten about this one nice to see it back in one piece take care all Rich
Interesting, like to see the leather work done on it. Thanks for update, enjoyed watching and listening.
Watching a game of "Wagon Tetris" is a great way to start my weekend 🤪
Wow that thing is tall, thanks for sharing about this. I hope we get to see this finished soon. That is a long time to wait on the finished product, glad you have such patient clients. Charles
Another wonderful, and absorbing episode. Thanks Dave.
Always enjoy all your videos.Thanks Dave and Diane very much for all you do.
Wishing you both a great weekend.
Regards Richard 🇬🇧
A mighty fine mud wagon if ever I saw one! Bravo Mr Engel!
Always a great episode, 15yrs. and still going, 💯%
Looks good together. Nice when you know what your doing and you do it well. Have fun.
Nice to see what is happening with the mud wagon. Too bad we have to wait a whole week for new episodes ... 😁
Lots of work there for you, but it's keeping you busy doing what you like ! Thanks
The manure spreader still needs "Flags of all Nations"
Thanks for sharing this video
Happy Friday Dave and Diane!
Nice work as usual
Your handiwork is Art.
I am no artisan, nor am I a craftsman. At best I am a technician and all my working life speed of completion was the priority, I'm not sure I could contemplate a project that takes 12 plus years to complete (which you would not have known when you started.)
I'm pleased you are getting paid in stages.
Kinda sounds like the customer has gotten some sticker shock. Hope he decides to finish the project. Love your work. I just watched a re-run of death valley days and upon seeing the borax wagon in the opening, reminded me of your project.
That's a Lot of irons( and wood) in the works. Keep up the great work.
Hi Dave, and Diane, I forgot about the mud wagon. (another great build). The first model my Dad (born 1928) ever built was a stage coach, which I still have was supported by straps as a suspension. This kit was all wood, and leather. Great things in life. Thank you for sharing, and have a great weekend.
Not sure if Dave has played Tetris, but his ability to fit things into place is impressive!
I wondered where the mud wagon was! Thanks for the update!
Ratchet straps! Pretty darn smart!
Beautiful work. It's all incredible.
Hi Diane and Dave, I had quite forgotten about this build. It's nice to see it progressing once more ❤ ....
I swear you could give Dave a bolt and a splinter and he could still rebuild your wagon .
It looks fantastic.
Thanks for posting Dave
It would be wonderful to see the Mud Wagon complete. I came into the action in the middle of the Borax Wagons. I cannot believe how long ago that was. It seems just a short time ago. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Its nice that the straps colour almost matchs th e undercarriage colour. They look great with everything in place.
Watching you move the wagons around makes me suggest that maybe you should get an electric shopping cart mover like those used by Walmart.
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
Wow, Huraw I been waiting to see the Mud Wagon on Wheels,
Very clever idea to use the ratchet straps 🙂
I guess that's what they mean when they say, "Wheeling and Dealing".
Thanks for the update.
Thanks for the update. Say high to Diane.
Hi Gil. It was great to see you.
Thanks Dave and Diane 👋👍👌❤️🙏
What a piece of artwork, I wish I could have worked with you Dave.
I hold a degree in Business and Management. I have never seen a course that covered what you covered. Customer relationships are vital and have to be managed, but I've never seen a course that covered what you just did. Thanks.
The shuffling of projects must become a real struggle in winter. Snow on the ground and losing all your heat when the doors are open add extra challenges
I reckon that's why he wants to get them 'set' for the winter now, so he will not have to open the doors and move them later!
Interesting approach for suspension, and that red wagon is to pretty for it's intended use.
2:14 "condition" - or, as us normal people call it "firewood". I'm still stunned how much you gleaned from that pile. That entire series is unreal. I'll have to watch it again sometime soon.
Thank you
I remember that project!
I am glad to see the mud wagon again. It is sad that projects are just sitting around unfinished because the owner / customer don't know how they want them finished. That is costing you money to store them, and holding up your pay for completing the contract.
Parabéns pelo trabalho! Muito importante manter a história para as novas gerações terem uma idéia de como éra. Interessante que utiliza os mesmos processos de fabricação
Once again thanks for the video.
I started with the borax wagon, so I didn't see the under carriage build. Looking good 👍
Always educational and interesting.
If we had an airplane hanger, we would have to move everything😃😃👍.
We called it a "hangar flush". Loud complaints from the work crews year round, but especially loud in winter
This reminds me why I'm not so sure that I would want to be in this kind of business. When I'm working on something that I own, I can make my own decisions.
That’s great to see it come together. We were there last summer when you were working on it.
ooh boy, that undercarriage is really pretty. I assume that's the primer since it seems to be a matte finish, but I wouldn't change that at all. That aged white/yellowish color (at least how it show on my screen) is my favorite color. It's one of those colors that just makes you feel good and relaxed. It reminds me of an aged polycarbonate sign panel, which is my favorite color lol...hey, I can't help it signs are who I am "that's not blood in my veins, it's PMS 285 red paint"😁
Awesome. Sir
Nice
Engles Coach Shop wagon & chassis, Harbor Freight suspension. Means to an end.
Thanks Dave
Wow! I think you need a bigger shop.
The strap set up is interesting. Never knew about that
I sure hope when your done with that manure spreader, we get to see it in action.
Start over at the Museum then you get doubles of space when people get to see your work two times over
happiness is a full workshop.
I never feel complete unless I am doing what I call the project shuffle. have you ever found if you dig a hole and then put the soil back in there always little bit more than you thought you had dug out.
Thanks for another great video and your craftsmanship.
Rachet Straps, the other Duct Tape!
19th Century valet parking. Moving your stuff about reminds me of one of those sliding segment word puzzles I had as a kid. To move one segment to another location might involve moving several other segments several times. Kept the kids in the back seat quiet.
Very nice projects you have to work on.
Yes, one of the main problems of travelling in thorough-brace carriages was the mal-de-mere (Sea sickness)suffered by passengers. The British Coronation coach has such a suspension and it is said to be the worse ride that anyone could imagine.
Sounds like the customer has refused to pay the bill. You should take possession and finish it. You could then sell it to recoup your money.
One thing I have found that rejuvenates leather is surprisingly PAM cooking spray. I have used it belts and salted out gloves and an old. Bullwhip that was so dry it was making leather dust. Might do for those straps. I don’t eat the stuff ,but a good soaking makes board hard leather go soft.

Avocado green- that's a 70's refrigerature.
If you are not done with painting the signs, last week something bothered me one the word manufacturing: the F and the A should be moved closer, the A nesting under the F so they appear to be at a distance from each other similar to the other letters. The way you prepared it, it looks like there is a wide gap between them.
I admire you restoration work.
oh yea, in the mud again. Here again YAY!
Que carroça legal. que pena não ter aconpanhado desde o começo da construção dela mais obrigado pelo video abraço e gratidão
There is a playlist on the whole build of the mud wagon.
It would be kind of terrifying to drive that coach. That drivers seat is 10’ in the air!
"Just a Mud Wagon", but dang it does have some nice lines to her.
How about making the mud wagon the first exhibit in the new museum across the road with a plaque reading "Part-built Mud Wagon"? Of course, it'll be tomporary but museums are like that; things come and go.
Dave you're kinda like my wife, if there's an empty spot something has to go there.
Mark Twain on his trip to Carson City with his brother Oran, took a good part of their trip in a mud waggon. Roughing It.
Looking at the manure spreader surprised the iron wheels have no "tread" on the iron. Just an old man's curiosity!
I will speculate that there's not much need. The spreader is designed to be horse-drawn, so no need to provide extra traction to move it. The wheels do need to turn and not slide in order to power the belt and spreader mechanism, but if the ground is that slick you might not want to be out there anyway. At least that is my take on it.
You have more parking skills than a NYC Valet in the theatre district.
Have you ever thought of maybe just a slight bigger shop?
I have watched all of them
😎 Mud Wagon. Will you make the 8-10 layer leather straps or someone else ❓
Too bad some customers put things on hold like they do. At some point it just seems fair to say, now that it is taking up space in the working area, storage fees need to apply while it sits. Maybe that is a customer tradeoff for being on the back burner during the Borax Wagons but it shouldn't really come down to that. At least there are other revenue producing jobs to fill in the gaps as customers ponder for lengths of time.
