- Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles of the 18th or 19th century has a unique challenge of dealing with 21st century technology. Google has risen to the top as an authoritative resource for information at the tips of our fingers. What began as a name of a company has become a verb in our culture - "Google it." However, Google is merely a data base information center, subject to what information it has been given. While much of this information is accurate, some of it may be inaccurate, or incomplete. This dialog touches where Google information is incomplete when it comes down to the carriage trade of the 19th century, simply because insufficient information has not been provided, yet. Here is my little attempt to provide more information to the Google database.

That is the calmest, politest rant that has ever been posted on TH-cam.
And he swept the shop.
I have many such questions spinning througyh my mind now, probably none of them worthy of asking. However if I follow you slightly, then you and I are brothers with different mothers.
Just as I thought the humble man who works wood and iron with his hands, is smarter than most of us. ✌
I waited a couple of days before sending this response. Before I do though, please let me preface with this comment. Ever since finding your work on TH-cam I have looked forward to watching each and everyone of your videos, and more important, the dialog you have with us in explaining what and why you are doing something. You are a true craftsman with a master of many skills!
I was taken aback when you made the comments that you are only "a nobody in a h^ck town". You have demonstrated to me, and I'm sure many of your other viewers, that you have a commanding presence in your field. Your contributions and dedication to what you do is evident through your work. I have always been totally amazed at your thought process and how you use your mind and tools.
With this last video I'm even more impressed with your knowledge of the Holy Bible and how you are able to research and tie your thoughts together precisely and concisely.
I'm glad you made your point and set the record straight for the unknowing. You truly are a somebody in a great little town!
Dave: A master wheelwright and a . . . scholar. Much respect!
And a Gentleman!
Not only are you a master craftsman but a darn good teacher of plain simple facts. I love this video.
Me too!
As I was sitting in church many years ago, here in North East Scotland listening to the Minister's sermon he came out with a quote that I've never forgotten. "I cannot understand a religion that does not question its self." To me these words have many meanings.
Here in the U.K. their is a computer acronym, G.I.G.O. It means, Garbage in, Garbage out.
Carry on Dave Engels with your vlogs & work, you are a Prince in this world of mediocrity.
We use GIGO in America as well. It has many applications, one most don't think about is in reference to feeding ones sole! Sounds like you are giving yours a spiritually healthy diet! When we question we find better answers,
Hey Dave, Dave here, Marci and I stopped in to meet you last summer, great fun!
Your phylosophy and spirituality are like your craftsmanship....
...masterful, methodical, precise, accurate and deliberate.
I wish we had known you are a Hebrew student...so is Marci!
...as well as Bible students!
You remind me of another carpenter....
You are a true Berean! (One who studies to make sure he is getting the right information.) I enjoyed your video.
Your observations are not out of place. I've been making furniture for a while, (after a lifetime of doing other things) and helping friends restore old homes. Us "old-timers", need to be precise and correct to help carry on the crafts to the generations who come after us, from the ones who came before us. I have a glossary of architectural terms from 1906, and another later book with terms typical in home construction. I try to use these terms often, such as when teaching on how to trim out a window, that each board has a name (Sill, Apron, Jamb, etc.). I don't think it's a waste of time, since someday, somebody may want to learn more about the subject, and be lost in trying to find the information because they didn't know exactly what to call it.
Having now had the opportunity to review the comments, I'm especially impressed by the quality of the people who follow your channel and choose to comment, with a few exceptions. You appear to make us all a bit better.
This is an amazing biblical exegesis about a WHEEL; far be it from me to judge but you are truly a universal man. Your videos should be in the Smithsonian. This one should probably be taught in seminaries.
Many years ago (I am 80 so many years is appropriate) My dad, of whom you remind me told me " Just because someone says something does not make it so" 'Believe half of what you see and Very little of what read or hear ' Thank you for the reminder and exceptionally well presented lesson
Mr. Engels, you are not a hick in a hick town. You are an extraordinary craftsman and artist in your own right. You are also a history professor of a sort. In crafting the horse-drawn vehicles of the 18th and 19th centuries, you impart the history and maintain that history. You are also an ambassador for the state of Montana and your town of Joliet. Never sell yourself short in any respect
Holy Moses! I so enjoyed this 'rant'. My father, a minister and missionary, was fluent in Greek and Hebrew, and was a voracious researcher in his biblical studies. It just so happens he was also an old ranch boy from West Texas, so in a nutshell there's all of my upbringing. This video reminded me so much of many interesting conversations we had, and sermons he preached. Thank you!
Men of great skill are most often men of great knowledge. Point proven here. Thanks Dave for allowing us into your thought process, even if just a little.
Hi David I don’t know about you being a nobody in a outback town but to me and your 77+ thousand subscribers you teach use all something new every week keep it going sod google 😀😀🇬🇧
Paul Standing, Excellent comment, Dave was into deep thinking on this one .
@Santina Murphy That may explain the housing bubble, and the decline of the fast food industry in America. LOL
Christopher C. Thank you for your kind comment take care
@Santina Murphy well said!
That was a wonderful ramble. Highly skilled tradesman, teacher, philosopher and polymath. Sometimes it's good to challenge the accepted wisdom. Keep 'em coming.
I just get more and more impressed. Not only a master craftsman, but a Hebrew scholar also. Don't be self deprecating - you're not a nobody from a hick town, you make the world that more interesting with your channel.
Thank you for this lesson sir! A "simple" wheel wright and a Hebrew scholar, it doesn't get better than this! Not to mention the most excellent craftsman in service to our King...
He who does not question, learns little or nothing. Great video.
It is said that if you let His light shine through you others will see it and want some of what you have. Now I understands why I have spent hours watching your skills and somehow knew there was something else shining through. Thank you.
Dave, some day you're going to post an uninteresting video. Or not! Thank you for the rambling and for revealing a different side of someone we feel we know and love. Superb!
David, you are a Master of your art. In the U.K. bob sleds are not used but L find that your patience, skill and ability to show what is a valuable ancient skill, Thank you! As a student of the Word and a user of Strongs shows you to be in the Berean mould. As far as Father is concerned you are a very special man. To many of us your are an inspiration, thank you for sharing your heart. God bless you!
Brother in Christ. I truly appreciate your study in this. I have been seeking the Living God for over 50 years and even though I do not have a command of Hebrew, I do speak German. What I have found in translating is that the translators will reveal their prejudice or their proclivities. When Luther translated the Scripture into German, there are idioms that come out differently if one tries to translate into English from the German. I have always been fascinated by this. Living in Africa we met some translators who were working from the English who discovered for example there was no word in the language they were attempting to write out for sin, and they ended up having to write a paragraph to make that one word understood. I have found the same in the translations my wife and I use daily, that some might call error, while others rightly understand that the original translator may not have had a word in their mother tongue for what was being said. I love this and I appreciate you crafting this. What is so wonderful of all of this is, that when the redeemed are gathered unto HIM, all of this will be understood from the eternal. One thing for sure is this, the things of the Lord will be revealed and the remnant will be giving understanding that we cannot even come close to in our lives. Shalom from Kentucky.
Thank you sir! I learned something that I already knew but had not known what. I knew you were talented and meticulous, I did not know just how meticulous. You educated most every one of us who follow you and in a kind but firm way! You knew you were correct but not in a boastful spirit. I also learned a new resource Blue Bible.
You remain a most interesting person. I look forward to your work every week. You can’t keep calling yourself a nobody because you are not. Yes, the town is very small.
I have long been interested in language. I grew up reading late 1800 novels prose and poetry, and have found that our language has changed. Dictionaries no longer even have some of the "old" words. When they update dictionaries they decide whether or not to continue a word they consider unused. Your points are valid, real in every respect, and non the less, as you said, not a big deal. I on the other hand miss some of the beautiful and "correct" words and terms of my youth. Big thumbs up sir! Regards, Solomon
Thank you for the instructive lesson, and thank you for bringing your art and work pleasantly, in Hebrew we say: "דברי חכמים בנחת נשמעים"- Leisurely wise words are heard, That's who you are, thank you!
HI MR Engels Now I know why I enjoy your videos so much. You are not only a very accomplished craftsman but a Christian. I was familiar with horse drawn equipment as a boy on a farm in Pennsylvania. I have ridden on a bobsled and a one horse slay. Also other horse drawn farm equipment like plows cultivators and hay equipment. I am 87 years young and sort of miss the simple life of long ago. You are also a much more accomplished Bible student than I am. However the love of GOD is the bottom line. Blessings.
Thank you for reminding us that the restoration of this sled is not limited, according to the internet, to the construction of a gliding device for the "bobsled" race. Hopefully Google and all of us with it will benefit from your focus. Thank you Mister for being so "fussy" with vocabulary because it is one of the things that we lose little by little every day: Heritage
Pounds like button repeatedly. THIS people. This is a very timely reminder for us to critically evaluate ALL information we are given and to keep an open mind informed by evidence and common sense.
Love your videos. Your presentation was great, and as a genealogist, I can tell you that when doing research, never take things at face value or it can lead you astray. My grandfather had a Bob Sled so when I saw your videos listed as such, I knew exactly what you were talking about. My grandmother also explained to me why a bobbin was called such in her sewing machine, because of the up and down motion of the needle when she was sewing. Fascinating stuff and well worth the effort to explain. Really enjoy your videos, and just so you know, my favorite people are nobodies who live in hick towns. I am 81 years old and have been through a lot of hick towns and met a bunch of nobodies, and they always are the smartest and best people I have ever met, and though I have never met you, your easy going manner makes me feel like we have been friends for ages. Keep up the good works. We need a whole lot more folks like you.
You are absolutely right we have to become eyewitnesses to the Word and it’s translations ourselves, and as Christians we need to be studying the Hebrew not just the Greek. Thank you
Thank you. You proved that old saying that still water runs deep. I like your style.
You are full of surprises Dave, thank God for positive surprises. And thank you for continuing to teach us, to pass on your personal experience and knowledge to all your subscribers, among whom I was lucky to be. A huge hello and a deep bow from Russia.
What a wonderful video. I can tell your soul is at peace. Your knowledge of Hebrew is amazing. Thanks for the tip on the the Blue Letter Bible.
That's why I love channels like this, you never know what you're going to learn next.
Thank you for furthering our education!!! Glad to know you read God's word as well! This channel just gets better and better!
In the 1980's when I was studying Art History at the University of Guelph in Ontario, I had a professor by the name of Helen Dow. When she taught me she was in her late 60's. When she was a young woman, her job was re-translating some of the original Latin sources that were used for the King James Bible. She was shocked at the mistakes that had been made. She was one of the first authorities that encouraged me to "question authority". Thanks for making this video. You use the narrow focus to make a broader statement. Congratulations on your effort to learn Hebrew as well. You show true scholarship in many aspects of your life.
Hello, your comment caught my attention for it raised questions within me. I am not here to debate doctrine or be an advocate of any English translation of the Bible for I am not even an Englishman, nor do I live in any of the English speaking countries of this world, and I don't read an English Bible.
I'm no Latin scholar either. I'm but a simple man who's able to distinguish simple matters such as night from day, and salt from pepper.
It is known that the Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew, and the New Testament was originally written in Greek, both being languages which precede Latin and their origins have no relation to Latin, which is in fact a dead language.
It is also known that the panel of translators of the KJV (Bible version which you specifically mentioned), translated the O.T. from the original Hebrew, and the N.T. from the original Greek.
My first question being:
Which "Latin sources" of the Bible was Mrs Helen Dow re-translating, when in fact the Old and New Testament derive from Hebrew and Greek sources respectively and contain no Latin?
It is understood, if not an established fact, that when speaking of the Bible we are referring specifically to the O.T. and the N.T. and that alone.
No other theological or religious manuscripts are included in the Holy Bible and that is the standard, the rule, the canon for all churches regardless of the translation they use.
That's not to say that other theological or religious manuscripts don't exist and that some churches don't include them in their broader theology.
Fact of the matter being, the KJV, not only does it not include in it's Bible translation any other manuscript, but it also does not recognise any other manuscript, besides the O.T and N.T., as being the inspired and preserved Word of God.
Yes, the KJV translators did translate the apocrypha from Latin manuscripts, but the point of the matter is that the KJV, as all translations, does not include them in their Bible and does not even recognise the apocrypha (as all churches) as being part of the divine Word of God i.e the Bible.
This brings forth my other questions:
- Since there is no "original Latin source" of what is the Bible, isn't it therefore an established fact that Mrs Helen Dow was not re-translating any part of the Bible, but was most likely re-translating the apocrypha which are not the Bible?
- Given that Mrs Helen Dow's expertise was Latin, isn't it established that she had no authority over the Hebrew and Greek languages, the sources from which the KJV Bible translation derives?
- As I have demonstrated she was most certainly not involved in translating the Bible but rather some irrelevant Latin theological manuscript, which begs the question, what then authority had Mrs Helen Dow to contradict the KJV translation of the Bible with which she was clearly never involved?
- End lastly, are you not going back on your own words by not questioning her authority on the specific matter for which she had no authority?
@@SsiolisP Sorry, but I can no longer ask her for details. Looking at wikipedia, I see that you are correct about the Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and Latin sources. I do remember that the sources that she was using were four or five Irish bibles in Latin. She also mentioned that there were discrepancies between those sources which she thought may be because those monks copying the manuscripts were not necessarily literate.
@@martindonald7613 Thank you for your reply.
Yes, it was well understood that Mrs Helen is not with us. That is precisely why I referred to her in past tense.
Although she is most certainly unavailable for questioning, her legacy handed down to us through your memories is.
The KJV was written by a specific panel of English biblical scholars, not monks.
Also, and of great importance, the authorized KJV was written in English.
That said, it is understandable that the Irish Latin Bibles which Mrs Helen worked on, were not the product of the authorized KJV panel of scholars, but rather an independent translation of the Bible into Latin.
Regardless of the level of literacy amongst those monks, how can the KJV Bible, and the authorized panel of scholars be held accountable for discrepancies found in a later, independent Latin translation(s) in which the authorized KJV panel had no part and involvement?
I had always been lead to believe that the KJV translators were quite good, if not excellent translators, even if their personal lives did not live up to the scripture they translated.
@@clockguy2 I'm sorry but how would we know how proficient the translators in 1611 were? How would we know about their personal lives? My original point was to reinforce what Mr. Engels was saying about authoritative sources. I think that his statements were timely for a modern American. Please lets focus on that.
Didn't anticipate a lesson in Hebrew linguistics and etymology when I clicked on this one; but I'm definitely here for it.
And just think, all this scholarship is present in a small town in Montana. I am frequently impresses that an individual with expertise in one area demonstrates depth of knowledge in other unrelated areas. Good work
Master Engel - Dave if I may. Without question sir, you remain a sterling authority on all horse-drawn vehicles, as well as on all of the vast assorted trades, crafts, disciplines, and tools necessary to create same! Now I find out that you're a dedicated Biblical scholar as well! It's quite fascinating for me to learn just how well all of those disparate ideas seem to merge and blend within your mind! Thank you once more, for helping to open my humble eyes to the wondrous dynamic and potentials of a humble yet learned craftsman who continues to seek out his own answers to his inquiries, unfettered by modern conventions, traditions, or Google!
One of my favorite bumper sticker sayings - "Question Authority!" - "Sez Who?"
Love what you do Dave ingalls. We need more people like you and your ability to demonstrate and show skills and ability way beyond that which is normal for today. I'm grateful for your videos cuz I learn so much. Thank you for the clarifications. This so-called rambling is not rambling at all but, a very significant and intriguing display of information that we should all be aware of. Thank you for all the energy and capability you put into these videos. I'm just from a small town down here in Pindale, Wyoming. I did visit your shop a couple years ago and was so impressed.
Your the man Dave, God bless you and your wife!
I love that you went into kjv and strong's. I bought a strong concordance in 1972. Many happy hours of studying!
I remember a meeting I was in once and a manager wanted to put over why he thought we should do something his way. He rambled on about how many years he studied, the stream of qualifications he gained, awards he'd won and every other reason why he should be supported.
Another manager told him we were all aware of his achievements, showed respect for his knowledge and expertise but.........
"It doesnt mean youre always right"!
Google is the same. The information is mainly there through contribution or as you say, searches educating google.
You sir, are an impressive man. I so wish my son had you for a grandfather.
I just like to watch your videos. Knowing I'm named after your dad gives me a need to get to see what you do in the shop. I've learned a lot of great building techniques. As a lot of our Engel family I love wood working. Thank you for the great videos
Thanks, I really like the points you brought out in the King James 1 King 7:33. I have been reading studying the bible for 40 years and I am aware of many miss translations, like you brought out, things that have been added and things left out. Here is the verse according to the New World Translation; 1 Kings 7:33 And the workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel.+ Their supports and their felloes and their spokes and their hubs, they were all cast. Enjoy and thanks again.
Just my impression: Being a solid cast metal item, maybe the order of how the mould forms are placed when ramming the cope and drag.
God bless you Dave ❤️🇺🇸❤️ thank you for the very interesting lesson✅ definitely things that make you go hmmm!
Critical judgements are easy, but critical thinking is hard.
I grew up in a "big city" in Montana. I now live in a "big city" in a neighbor state. There is nothing, and I know you know this, that any city has on your little hick town. Keep up the great work and I think it's good to change it up now and then on your videos.
Fascinating glimpse into what makes Mr. Engels so fascinating!
This has been very a enlightening video thank you! The more I see of you and your work the more I realize you are nothing short of amazing! You are number one on You Tube for me.
You well demonstrated the difference between a surface scan of information on a given subject; and the in depth quality of research. Actual research finds contemporary and historic sources: not the most popular answer that sits at the top of a list on the internet.
There is no algorithm for truth.
I don't always learn something new from Google. Today I learned something watching this. That hardly makes you a nobody from nowhere. Keep up the good work.
I enjoyed this just as much as watching you build something.
I've watched a number of your other videos with great interest and appreciation for the craftsmanship, but now you have a subscriber because of the second half of this one.
Dave, I am truly impressed with your knowledge both of Hebrew, and of resource material, and of your ability to turn this into a video that even I can learn from. You've been hitting the books in a big way!
Being a brother nobody who builds large scale US Naval ships in 87,96 100 and occasionally 200 scale , I enjoy your creativity and knowledge. You wit is a nice icing on the cake. Thanks for your skills and the courage to show what you do. DK
Well, Dave, another surprising part of you as a craftsman. Learning Hebrew was another unsuspected surprise. I see you as the UNIVERSAL MAN, hats off and thumbs up for you! Greetings from the Netherlands, Bram
I second that.
Renaissance Man :-)
"Man's basic spiritual problem is the integrity of the Word" VPW. Words matter, change a word and you change the meaning. Love your videos. Ramble any time you like!
I really enjoyed this video, and your digging into meaning. We live in a world of instant gratification, and many instantly are authorities, based on how fast they can operate their phone. Love the well thought out explanation. Thanks for the time you put into the research. I enjoy my Bible reading as well!
Not a nobody! More like a giant in the industry. A craftsman, educator and entertainer. Don't sweat the cheap shots. They are meaningless. Thank you for what you do and for allowing us to be along for the ride.
Thank you for lesson in the "Blue Letter Bible." I have not used the Hebrew translation there very much and I found what you taught very helpful. God bless.
Thank you for such calm and interesting entertainment, as well as your gentle educational manner that is never preaching. What you create for us is here is always good food for the mind and soul alike. Be well, be safe, and be happy Mr Engels.
Thank You I always seem to learn something new each week when I watch your videos. Thanks again keep up the good work.
2 Timothy 2;15 says (Study to shew thyself approved) Well done Dave, you did a fine job. Looks like the Lord has a place in your heart. Trust Him and we will cross paths down the road outside of time. Love your videos, the best part of TH-cam. thank you...
Thank you for the class and more importantly, thank you for sharing.
I have watched all of Dave's you tube videos, I constantly look for his new ones, I saw this new one and thought yes a new one. I wasn't disappointed either thank you.
One of the things I learned at university was how FIND information. Long before personal computers and the internet. Obviously it’s now much easier.. pushing the big 70 and I’m still learning. AND having fun! You’re a master cabinet maker on a big scale. Keep up these great videos, I want to feed my brain more info!
Dear mr Engels,
I am not religious but know Hebrew and enjoy the analysis of translations like the one you pointed out in this video. What jumped out at me in the verse you presented is actually the last word. It has several meanings. The first and by far most used meaning of the word is "solid". Both the state of a substance (ice being the solid state of water) and something that was built well, strong, solid. Other meanings of the word are to cast or pour. In my opinion to cast or pour something is a building, creating action while the given translation of molten is a destructive action. Those are complete opposites and without context just that single verse gives me the impression that "wheels were molten (down)" instead of "solid wheels" or " cast wheels".
Thank you for this and all your great videos. Always a joy to watch and learn.
GOD BLESS YOU BROTHER! Not only do you bring to the world beautiful craftiness but also according to Romans 10:15 you do so with beautiful feet! I knew there was something other than your craft that drew me to your channel... The Holy Spirit! Romans 1:16, 1 Corinthians 1:18 and John 3:16 are also truths that have stood the test of times for those who don't believe.
What an interesting mind. Thank you for sharing. The fascinating thing about the account in 1 Kings of Solomon building the temple of God is the 80,000 workers at the quarry hewing the stone so that no sound of the tool would be heard at the temple site in Jerusalem - an unprecedented honor of the holiness of God.
@EngelsCoachShop Mr. Engels: I'll try to keep it short. I teach my middle school students that Google is NOT the information, but an index (like electronic index cards). It only shows the web sites that match your word search. I show my students a fake web page I created and how it shows up on Google. Just because it shows up on Google, it doesn't make my lies TRUE.
The dictionary (dot com you used) is only good at defining one word at a time. It can't handle two different words at once, but it did define BOB² as you described it.
Now the great news for you. When you search for an exact phrase, use the QUOTE marks. I went to youtube and searched for "BOB SLED" ... You appeared ON TOP of the list with many other BOB SLED videos that weren't bobsleds.
Thanks for the fun video. As far as the KJV, that's why I switched to NIV -
Shae Tallent Nice thing about the kjv is the translation problems are well known. The nkjv fixes many of these like it does with this verse and it is based on the textus receptus and not the alexandrian text like the niv and others. The good thing is all 3 get the essentials correct.
@Shae Tallent Hey Shae. While I, too, heartily dislike the NIV, the KJV was itself not a word for word translation. In fact, if I remember correctly, it was last updated in 1785, or thereabouts. An original KJV would be unreadable for most people today, since the spelling, grammar, and syntax are Elizabethan English. I keep a KJV on my desk, along with a copy of the Geneva Bible, an English Standard Version, a Greek New Testament, and my concordances. As Christians, we are to carefully examine the text. Comparing the different translations can be helpful, especially when you see the differences. Oh, and I highly recommend Stephen Charnock's "The Existence and Attributes of God" which is well worth your time. Take care.
Ah, never disappointed! Thank you for being discerning.
Thats a good example of why we should question and not just accept things we read on the internet, or in a book. Its also a good example of how each of us has our own speciality, knowledge and experience and together we are the resource, not Google. Thanks for the video, i didn’t expect to learn a bit of Hebrew today, you’re full of surprises.
Amein Dave, I'm glad to see you are a Hebrew student, I attend a Messianic synagogue and study the Hebrew language. I believe in the same God you do, see ya this summer I hope. We are planning to be your way probably in June Abba permitting.
When in college it was rare to challenge professors, but I found that is often how one really learns in the quest for truth.
WOW Dave !!!!! I waited 3 weeks too long to enjoy this Blessing. As a fellow multi-trade craftsman and Christian, I too encourage people NOT to believe everything they "google" or "hear" to be factual BUT to study the answers out to find truth or more indepth knowledge and do they "line up". I've shared on a few wood sites BUT found facts weren't what most are after BUT a quick fix to their quick fix to their quick fix of a mess they created by refusing the truth /facts (not studying BUT just accepting). I also encourage older books (1920ish and older) for more quality info regarding trades. I AM NOT discrediting newer info or books as some are great but I find alot of basic info is left out and that is the critical part of the trade/craft.
Same with the Bible. I am still learning to get more indepth of who the people, culture, trade/craft, religion the book or verses are speaking to as this also has meaning of why most of it is spoken to and whether it was specific as Bob or sled OR to be taken in whole as bobsled and group all into one.
Blessings Dave as I have thoroughly enjoyed !!!!
Dave you are a wealth of information as well a wealth of trades and know-how , a person can learn alot by watching your techniques and listening to your self explanation with the history lesson thrown in , it may not be everyone's way of doing things but I can tell ya as a general handy man, gunsmith , Brick and stone Mason for more than 30+ yrs myself I've learned a thing or two just seeing another person's perspective of the trades you Sir have Mastered , we are never to old to learn and never too young to stop learning . Keep up the excellent videos.
You Sir, are without a doubt, one of the ultimate authorities on anything related to Wagons, Sleighs, Wagon Wheels or any related items. period. If I had to choose between a Historian with a PHD or You, you will win.
Well Dave I have been impressed by your skills as a a Wheelwright, as a welder, as a carpenter, as a machinist. Your ability to create from almost any medium, wood, steel, and others. And I have been mesmerized by your uncanny use of the Peen hammer, as you buck those hand-made rivets. (You never seem to miss). But with this Video, you top all of these deeply honed skills with a deep-dive into "The Word!" Kudos to you good brother, you are a breath of fresh air. Phil....
You just blew my mind. You are a craftsman and have a burning desire and passion for truth. You also pronounced the Hebrew very well. To hear you say where you are and your humble statement of who you are or not just blew me away. I cant get away from certain skills and I absolutely enjoy your videos. Just recently I became deeply interested in my Jewish roots and going to synagogue and learning Hebrew. The depth of meaning from each letter and word is so profound. Why are we gathered together to learn from one another and what draws us together? God definately exists. I am beside myself in awe. Its 3:22 am and I had to finish watching your video. And I knew there was some reason that made me want to hear what you had to say.
Always learning from Mr.Dave.
Technology is good but...there's so much information that was compiled years ago before there ever was a Google. I remember having to research at the library, encyclopedia, Webster's, etc. More effort required in opening a book, but there is a good feeling when you do.
Mr. Engel, you are a man of many letters. I very much enjoy your videos.
In my area Eastern Ontario we have sleighs cutters and Bob sleds. Often I see bob sleds with chains in an x pattern connecting back skies to front. Four way steering which is very maneuverable in the dense forest.
These bob sleds were mostly used to move logs out of the forest. Good stuff Dave.
I appreciate your knowledge, both in your craft and your biblical knowledge! My dad was knowledgeable of the Greek and Latin. I enjoyed listening to you dissertation Dave. Have a good weekend...Pete
I’ve never put a comment on any of the many videos that I enjoy on youtube but this one I had to. Your programs reaches back to skills that were commonly know or appreciated by my grand parents and grate grandparents but are mostly lost on my generation (l’m a great grandfather) and younger, however now seeing a deeper aspect of what makes you tic, brings me to another cherished touchstone that seems to vanishing in our day and time. This video helps me to understand more completely why I’ve been attracted to your programs. Keep up the good work and don’t be apologetic for it.
Mr. Engels, you are a man or great depth and many facets. I never expected find you parsing out Hebrew. I'm still smiling!
Dave, irregardless what anybody thinks or says. You desgined it, built it & even put the oil finish on it. I guess it deserves the name you give it.
For 54+ years of my life, a Bobsled has been a team competition vehicle.
Normally used in Olympic sports.
Just call it Daves Bob sled or Dave's slay,
That removes any questions folks might have. Great series....
I have never viewed Google as an authoritative site, but merely as a "search engine". You have a bunch of limited educated Millennials, who needed their diapers changed last week, running the day to day operations of Google. Thus, with your age, experience, knowledge & wisdom, I find you more valuable than the kids in Silicon Valley.
I'm a little older than you and I think that a lot of the old open mindedness is dying. I think that is a shame. Please don't let them beat you down. I love your videos, and I have learned a lot. Blessings to you.
You're a somebody, somewhere, just like all of us in podunk USA. Don't apologize, or forget that we make up this country. Thank you for another great video.
And I'm going to keep on watching because I enjoy your posts.
You found it interesting and so do I and most others here. It was a very good episode. I'm also impressed by your knowledge of Hebrew. My bible (Ignatius edition, revised 2015) "The wheels were made like a chariot wheel; their axles, their rims, their spokes and their hub..."
Have a good weekend.
Old computer saying " garbage in , garbage out " - applies even more today ! Really enjoy your videos , and thoughts !
Dave, Thanks you for the Hebrew class. Very impressed!
Wonderful video! Thank you for showing how we depend on the internet too much and seem to assume it is allways correct. Looking forward to you doing more like this! Never too old to learn!
I like it when someone who Questions things explains his or her point of view as well as you do.. thanks for the lesson..
