Extending the Life of Old Buggy Wheels | Engels Coach Shop

- Being a wheelwright involves assessing the condition of old wood, and sometimes being gentle with old wheels. Sometimes the intended purpose of old buggies doesn't warrant the expense of new wheels, so little repairs, and gently resetting steel tires, will hold a set of buggy wheels together for just a little longer. Eventually these wheels will require new felloes, or even new spokes, but for right now we can bring good sound to these wheels and make them useable for a while longer.

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, very helpful thanks
Not sure how I came across this channel randomly, but I've been enjoying the videos. The first portion where you're talking straight to camera has a high pitched squeal. Like tinnitus.
Wow.!!!! Dave, that is really impressive. Thanks for making these videos.
You know, Mr. Engel, the most important things I've learned from you over the many months I've been watching are patience and quality...thanks.
Rick C And knowledge and skill.
My sentiments exactly. I manufacture a product for Disney World. Mr. Engel's video's have had a profound effect on the way I do my work.
@patrick quinn LOL....apparently not enough.
"If you don't believe in quality, you'll never produce it"
I scoffed at that saying when I first read it. Now I know how true it is after working with and teaching many young guys and gals machining.
I wish more of our Country would adopt the we can fix this attitude and stop tossing things away, it makes me a little sad to see things change (for the worse in my opinion). Great job fixing the buggy wheels!
From the "Good the Bad and the Noisy" to "The Better, the Good, and the quiet" you were 100% correct you can hear the huge difference between "loose wheels" and "Solid wheels. I'm 77 yr along with the average case of Tinnitis, and I could hear the sound difference very distinct!. And I love that leather shim. As a young ladd I worked in a Tannery (16 yrs old) and I learned to value the many uses for leather. But that's a new one to me. Thank you for your knowledge, and best of all Thank you for sharing. I'm a prime example of "you're never too old to learn."
Another geat video, these wheels have been saed for another day before they become wall art
Watching You these years ... every show, I am transformed back to a 40 acre farm in Spottsville, KY, and watching my grandfather work on his equipment and projects. At age 70 now, and having spent my adult life in the rigors of corporate America, watching You, I get that totally relaxed feeling of a time when people had "common sense", a strong work ethic and decency toward their fellow man.
You are a true craftsman an its awesome to see everything you do
So good to see you back after you kinda disappeared from you tube in the short lived snafu!
Dave you deserve more money
It's wonderful to watch a master craftsman someone who takes pride and enjoyment in their work!
Yep! I ain't deaf yet!! watched this video 7 months ago, and I can still hear the big difference in the Before, and After audio tests on the wheels.Still an amazing distinction . Thanks again Dave for all that you do.
I am always amazed watching your videos. You sir are a true craftsman. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and videos with us.
Nice 😊👍 Egypt Cairo yas SAR 👍 سلامنا من مصر نحييكم 🇪🇬💐🇪🇬💐🇪🇬
thank you Mr Dave
Thanks for showing how old things can be brought back to life
Thanks to you for taking the time to make your videos. Greetings from Catania
mesmerising stuff
Mr. Engels, thanks so much for sharing with us. It's always very informative, entertaining, relaxing and educational.
Your wide array of practical talents is amazing, and your demeanor in your videos is comforting. Best wishes to you, sir.
I appreciate the control of the background music
I'm follow with you sir 🙏
Clayton Parks . Many of us viewers also appreciate the very low background music. just the right balance.
i want know early 1800’s wagon train trivia, trick maintenance, etc.. Say 2500 miles, but l guess they started with great wagon.
That rapping on the floor showed the wheels go from dead to live. Flat to bounce. Beautiful sound.
I really admire how you take a few minutes between tasks to clean up your work space. It pays off ten fold at the end of the day.
Even with my constant ringing in my ears, I could detect a difference in sound from before repairs to after.
The bounce at the end was super satisfying.
Well Done you saved a old Pair of wheels and give them back another life
I like your work
Yours Frank
Old man, you taught an old hippie a good lesson with this demonstration video. I am greatly impressed with your skill and technique. I have never heard of the tool "traveler" until now.
Thank you!
Kindest regards,
j
Good for another 10,000 miles. Now all they need is a good sanding and a coat of paint and they will look brand new. Nice work Dave. Enjoyable and educational as always.
Dave is one of few people I see with a sharp pocket knife. Most are about as sharp as a buggy seat.
Entertaining and Educational!! Thanks, Mr. Dave!!
The wheel whisperer lol thank you.
God Bless.
Over the hill and through the woods to Mr. Engels shop we go.
I’ve been watching the various videos as they turn up in my feed, and I have to say they are very interesting to watch, and I appreciate that you are taking time to share your knowledge.
nice work
I look forward to every Saturday morning when I can watch you do your magic on whatever you are doing that week in your shop. Thank you for another entertaining episode x 2.
Splitting up the videos was the right call thank you for sharing. Charles
The sound of the wheels says it all.
*Nice!*
So happy to have two of your videos lined up for Friday night viewing
good to see the new dust collector!
Once again, many thanks for sharin'!
I didn't notice the conversion video last week, so I got 3 Engels videos today. :)
BIG difference in sound.
Enjoyed the video Mr Engel. You sure can tell a difference in the sound. They sound more solid. Y'all take care and God bless.
FANTASTIC! Just the videos I've been waiting for. I have eight buggy wheels that need to be refurbished.
I've never done wheels before, but with these demo's I think I'll be able to handle the job in the future.
Thanks Dave, you never fail to please.
Have u ever looked into an air angle grinder with 2" roloc flap discs?
They would make grinding down those bolt heads after u cut them easy, and they work really well for detail sanding and carving of wood.
Another great pair of videos. It's wonderful to be able to watch a master craftsman at his work. Thank you!
Why are there allways some people making thumbs down. I dont' understand.
Great video again.
I am always fascinated by the great many "small" inventions you made to make your job easier and more efficient.
I love watching a master at work.
Well you certainly can make out the difference between before and after you had repaired the wheels nicely done 😀👍
A Masterclass. Thank you so much
Kudo's to your cameraperson. No waste filler. Just the facts m'am.
Thanks for pointing out the before and after on the repairs. It’s a lot of difference in the bounce and sealing the spaces wow how slick that was. Thanks for sharing with us Dave, always so enjoyable.
Once again, thanks for sharin. I wasn’t sure those wheels looked like they were worth repairing but you worked your magic again. Keep showing us your bag of tricks, we’re just eatin it up! 😎👍👏
Rolling magnet FTW,, Thank you Sir. for the amazing work and great video.
Thank you Sir, 2 more wonderful videos.
You can even see them BOUNCING!!!!!AFTER !!!!!
The doooooo ring, Great video as always. Thanks for sharing
I really enjoy watching you work.
Bugger I do love these videos of your work the methodology the tools the outcome fascinating thank you for this.
Wow retreads for wagons lol great as always!
Добрий день вам.Давновас не било.Мне нравиться как ви по мастерськи делаєте,
Thank you again for sharing this video with us . Something that I would find interesting is to learn more about the tools and machinery that you use and others that you have modified for the shop . Look forward to Friday just to watch yor videos . Thank you .
So we are all experts now at listening to the sound of wheels. I don't think. Thanks for another great video.
Very interesting.
You can even hear the difference when you are rolling them around on the floor.
Cheers from Tokyo
I enjoy your videos very much thank you for taking the effort
Some difference hi ! Thanks for your time and effort.
Good show
Good show
I like the ring of the wheel, sounds like a good tight axe handle I make.
Very similar in concept to voicing an acoustic guitar top. Very interesting, thanks!
Nice job saving those wheels.
Dave, thanks for sharing your extraordinary knowledge, experience, and craftsmanship.
One thing: the wheel-bolts you used to secure the rim to the felloes; the body of the bolt seemed to be fluted. The small screen of my iPhoney, my visual disability, and your speeded-up video made it difficult for me to make sure.
Is this a special item?
BTW, your local scrapmetal-dealer must have an interesting day when you drive in to offload.
(edit: spelling … 😖😣)
Good job brother.
Yessir!
Im follow you sir please🙏
Yup, there is a different sound, tighter
Thank you I’m learning a lot from your channel
Wonderful job but I am confused, Mr Engel. You welded up the old holes in the tire and ground them true. My confusion comes with the existing holes in the wood. Did you hit each old hole spot on or were new holes made and the old ones plugged? Thanks for a great video. I really admire your skills. :)
If you watch the first video you'll see Dave drilling through the tyre using the existing holes in the felloes as a guide. As the tyre (sorry, tire) has been made slightly smaller, the old holes won't now line up with the holes in the felloes.
Either that or Dave will embarrassingly correct what I think I saw :-)
@@webmozaic Pretty sure you are correct. Dave welded to old holes in the tire and then drilled the new hole once the tire was mounted using the holes in the felloes
... formerly known as Webmozaic.
Great vid, thx!
two fer night cool as beans in kansas
Perfect bounce
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I don't see anything moving on the traveler...Do you just count the revolutions? As usual...wonderful camera work...thanks for taking the time
Big Fred. In this type of repair I don't think counting the full revolutions is required as its just a matter to find how much to shorten the old rim , which as you an see its only a very small amount , be different if making new rim up from length of stock material .
@@karlhrdylicka I think he uses one to make new steel for wheels also
@@bigfred1696 If you click on 'Read more' I did say about using it for new stock material ..
@@EngelsCoachShop Thanks for the explanation sir....I watch all your videos, and thanks again for doing them. I find all your equipment amazing also...so much ingenuity
Do you measure the diameter for all wheels to be the same or not? I notice you cut some metal rail. I don't know what we call it. I am new on this.
thanks for all the entertaining an educating shows did you get a new planer?
Curious. Do you match the circumference of the fellows and tire or do you remove a percentage of circumference of the tires to make them pull tight?
You are teaching us so much about the past and about ways to tackle other projects in the future! These techniques are transferable. Thanks.
That one front wheel was "dead" dull on the concrete test ! You can hear the tension in the tire when they are done correct.
Very interesting video's.Craftsmanship i love that.Ask;What beautiful music is in the background.I hope to see a lot more video's from you. Cauwenbergh Rudy Belgum Europe
Great job. I was wondering if you offer free rotation with your warranty? Lol. Thanks again for your videos.
Dont they rotate every time the wagon is moved? ;)
@@here2there880 lol, can't beat that.
look at U go
Thanks Dave Enjoyed both videos
I saw your list of tools you use But what is your source for the rivets you use. Great job Have a good weekend
Around 3:30 , when you were driving out the tire bolts after heating them. It looked like the tire had been lapped over and Forged Welded. Are my old eyes deceiving me.
Is that an Age Identifier?
Modern welders and all....
I was wondering the same thing. On dirt or gravel you probably wouldn't notice that lap joint, but on concrete, that bulge is going jolt you every round it makes.
That third wheel on the initial drop test was 'dead'. Sounds real good after though.
The shrinkage, could that be that the wood for the fellows and spokes wasn't properly seasoned?
Just fyi, your Amazon link for the marking pencil brings up some movie dvd... refill link is correct, as are others I looked at (Not all).
Nicely done.
Do you stay fairly busy with the work you do?
Thanks for the video.
@@EngelsCoachShop That's amazing! I had no idea this sort of thing was so popular. Thanks for the reply.
In Santa Barbara California there is a carriage musurm. It a display of wagons and carriages. Some are driven parades and most for show. The wheels you fixed are for limited use or ? Are they road worthy? Or limited use or for static display or parades?
Dave, these two videos were very interesting and a joy to watch. In this video, was the first tire (lap) forge welded or was that something "unusual" that made it look like that? I'm looking forward to your next videos!
I have noticed that very often, if not exclusively, you use square nuts as opposed to hex nuts. I was wondering if this is purely aesthetic or if there was another reason?
14 minute long video has been uploaded for 1 minute and already has 4 likes
I always like Mr Engels videos , before watching , cause I always like anything he posts and I just may get distracted and forget to like and that wouldn't be right.
@@christophermaurer1271 I know. Autoplay has kept me from liking probably thousands of videos.
how old is that set of wheels?
