watching him work almost makes you sad when you realize whats been lost as a civilization. you sir are an artist. please teach someone what you know.
Dear Mater Craftsman, I am from Asia. I am a wood and metal worker and I am 75 now almost all the skills are well known to me that are needed for Surrey building, I wish to make one before I kick the bucket 😂 I watch your videos several times times and I am so grateful 🙏 for the knowledge you share with the rest of the world. Your work is admirable and the skills you have acquired over the passage of time. Some one said:
One who works with hands is a labourer.
One who works with hands and mind is a Craftsman.
One who works with hands, mind and heart is an ARTIST.
YOU ARE AN ARTIST.
SALUTE TO YOU SIR.
They should be showing your series in every single grade school across the country to show kids what hard work and perseverance outside of the digital realm can accomplish.
I love watching people who are just on a whole other level of skill when doing what they do
Best Post on TH-cam, bar none!
If you watch carefully you see all the slotted screws facing the same direction and orientation of the square nuts all match. A sign of a true craftsman.
I like that. It was a nice touch.
Standard practice in coachbuilding. In construction the same principle was used so paint had less chance of filling screw slots in door hinges, when slots were horizontal instead of vertical. Now lost to the philips head screw to name one.
bear in mind that sometimes it's more important to have proper equal tension on the fasteners than have them look nice.
@@calinguga Yes, however both can be accomplished.
to some degree yes, by removing material from a countersink, or when one end of the bolt is hidden, and i believe it's especially doable with fine threads and in wood. but you almost never see it in watchmaking for example.
anyway, i have come to appreciate it more since i made the original comment :)
Living in the day and age where everyone demands "instant gratification" it's such a pleasure to watch and appreciate this process! Thanks so much for your work and too, for bringing it to a world wide audience.
This man is fun to watch! He can make anything from nothing, all in a little town in Montana...I would sweep his floor for free just to be there watching in person. Thank you so much for this video. You are a real craftsman! From a
farmer from Iowa
There are Jacks of All Trades and than there's this guy, A Master of All Trades that's just a incredible piece of work.
If I only had 10% of the skill this man has I would be a happy camper. Excellent video, nice to see that kind of skill and craftsmanship still around.
All those trades executed to the highest standards of workmanship. And a pleasure to watch. Extraordinary.
And I just am left wondering how he gets those screws to turn in all by themselves! Truly pleasurable.
Totally agree, a real master of his craft. Lets his work do the talking.
Mr Engles you should be a national treasure !
'Jack of all trades master of none' Yep, I think they got that wrong.
I've watched every one of your videos and am still stunned at the variety and quality of your work.
I'd be happy if I was as good as you in just one of those disciplines.
Gotta remember that the entire idiom is: "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."
@@Shatteredworld True enough, but like Steve I would gladly argue that Dave Engel is indeed a Master of many trades.
Having mastered a couple of trades I can honestly say that if one puts their mind to something, one can do it to exacting standards. I have no degree in electrical engineering but I am a master locomotive electrician and master cabinet maker. Skills I use every day in my composite locomotive mechanic job. I love this channel because of the high level of finish that I expect from my own workmanship.
I agree Steve Dunford. He is a master of all the trades he uses. I wonder what trades he is a master of that he does not use in the carriage trade? I have a feeling he also does some farming which requires mainlining farming equipment and related barns.
There's also, "Be a jack of all trades, but a master at one."
You don't let the history die. great skill!
To quote the five year old, "Amazing."
The "ULTIMATE" furniture mechanic / engineer !
this is not restoration or repair , this is reconstruction, recreation, god skils manifestation
this just takes your mind off all the darkness all around us at the moment.
i watch a lot of restoration videos, mostly cars, boats and airplanes but i also like tool restorations and furniture restoration videos..... The borax mule wagon series and this series were the most enjoyable to me.
Every time I see those magic screws it makes me smile! I sure would like a box of those!
I love the magic screws
Now I know what is really meant by "self assembly".
They would be handy when the battery dies in the driver.
Reminds me of Tony Hart and Morph very well animated…hang on my age is showing 😀😅
Wäre ich 30 Jahre jünger würde ich bei dem Mann in die Lehre gehen. Hut ab, ein echter generalist.
Ein sehr guter Handwerker Es macht Freude diesem Mann bei seinem Handwerk zuzuschauen.Da sitzt jeder Handgriff und zum Schluß ist alles wieder gebrauchsfertig gemacht.
A true master at its craft🌟🐅🇬🇧🌟 the talent is priceless. I would absaloutly love to be this gentleman's helper in the work shop ... For free. A super buggy maker ...🌟🇬🇧🐅🌟
Almost watched the whole video before realizing i had seen it before, but it's been a few years since i last watched it. Was Almost like watching it for the first time. Think i learn something new or catch something i missed before, each time i watch. I love the skill, quality, and craftsmanship that goes into each project. This buggy looks amazing. I hope you take pride in your skills and achievements!
I'm really not qualified to properly compliment you on your phenomenal mastery, but I certainly appreciate your showing it. Thanks.
I feel great privilege to be able to witness your work. Thank you.
I simply cannot imagine doing a job like this without power tools!
I followed the whole series episode by episode as it came out. But I've just watched this again for pleasure & to refresh my memory. So many skills.
Thing of beauty
I am watching these people doing their work. Table saw, router, planer all power tools… Not complaining I use them myself. I try to imagine what it would be like back then, they did everything by hand!!! They were/are most certainly expert craftsman!!!
A "master craftsman" from a bygone era! "Old timer"! You're one of a kind. İ can't imagine what you must charge for a piece of history buggy! Btw...i ain't never seen a table saw with a 'tilt' fence before either. Hooot dang!😜
Dave turns a handful of sticks and some scrap iron into a beautiful buggy...
Now we know how Cinderella's fairy godmother turned a pumpkin into a coach!
I am constantly amazed at the different trades you show such proficiency in.
That beautiful buggy will be around for 200 years as long as some nitwit doesn’t turn into a lawn ornament someday
A buggy like this is literally priceless. But it is the result of many hours of beautiful craftsmanship.
Hasn’t been released long enough to have watched the whole video, and we all so far are just punching ‘Like’, because we know it’ll be ace.
a perfect moving pictograph of the time, the effort, the materials but most important the skills of the artesan. the depth of knowledge and drive for quality is beyond question. the final product lives in the realm of the top quality car bracket attracting prices circling the 500,000 bracket (£or$) so this must be the equivalent to the rolls royce of 'buggys'.
the series has been compulsive, saturdays mornings UK, and a joy to watch day putting out a beautiful product and superb;y watchable videos along the way.
Mr & Mrs Engels the winning team in Jolietm Montana..........
This is a nice little recap, you see things that you missed or forgot and it makes you want to go back and rewatch the series. kind of reminds of those "in the making of" recaps you get at the end of DVDs lol. thanks! i know where my weekend is going :)
Why is it that I know you're the one that did all the work, had all the skill, and knew all the knowledge but strangely I get a sense of accomplishment just being there to watch it all come together? I guess this is admiration in it's true form. Everyone of us appreciates it!
Beautifully stated.
Good grief.. the skillset required. Wonderful execution, thank you for recording these videos.
I took my granddaughter to Studebaker museum, been there several times. this time my attention was on wagon wheels and the iron that you work on. thanks for the education at 73 years old
This has to be one of the most amazing displays of pure craftsmanship I have ever witnessed,excellent vidio 👍
this guy should bee teaching all the skills i have seen him do, it is a lost art and he should pass it on too many generations to come he is so special in his art👌👌👌
in Japan they have a title of “National Living Treasure” as an top experts in their field, and pay an apprentice's to learn from them, so that old skills live on… Watched this in AWE.. Magnificent work.. seriously. would love to do that myself..
My great grandfather started out as a coach builder. After serving his apprentice years he struck out on his own in a small farming community in The Netherlands. Around the turn of the century he realized horse drawn carriages would go the way of the dodo.
In 1907 he auctioned off his shop, tools,templates, wood the lot.
And started anew selling and repairing bicycles, motor bikes and cars.
Watching this video reminds me of all the skills he had to learn while being a young apprentice lad. Impressive.
It's a lot more fun to watch a buggy restoration than it is to do a buggy restoration.
In the beginning I guessed you would send the upholstery out to be done.....how wrong I was........stellar work.
Es usted un orgullo para su país
Usted es un tesoro.....!!!!!
" your people has to be pround of you....you'r a tresure......!!!!!!!
Enjoyed every minute of the whole series. I cannot fathom how one person can acquire so many varied skills. I can see master the iron working and the carpentry, but add to that wheelwright, and upholsterer, painter, and videographer. I give up.
I didn't watch this until 2/22/22 but I had to pause it after I saw the time lapse of the screws screwing and the brads hammering. What a great addition to the know how you provide.
Thanks
You are quite the talented individual. I am privileged to watch you work. Thank You.
2mins in..this guys good. 5mins in..ok this guy's exceptional. 20mins in..holy bleep, dude's 100 different craftsmen from the 1800s!
I'm in awe of this man's ability
I loved watching again the seat back stitch work. The diamonds and buttons. Loved it
You are the best and real artist
in your work .
I don't think there is any person
In the world can much you in your skills.
God bless you and your entire family .
You are a life great legend .
I’ve many words, yet they all fail. Magnificent, well done!
The burgundy buggy is amazing. And it's all because of that paint. And that is all because of the sanding.
You are a maisig MAN 🙏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍💎.From National City ;Cal.your Friend Silvestre m.
Fantastic skills, in one man! I don't think any project is beyond his ability.
This is so interesting. I like to see how people made things long before the computers and CNC did take over. And they made things that worked for a very long time. And it worked good for the old things and was beautiful.
This reminds me of my great grandmother.... she was a horse
Stopped by the shop on my way through Montana today... This buggy looks AMAZING through the window!
Wow, wow, wow! I have 4 to rebuild, and if I get one done, I will be doing great. Excellent work sir.
This is beautiful, a real work of art. I loved watching it being built by a real craftsman !
Thank you!greeting from China!
Just wondering if it's possible to show anything you can't do. Your craftsmanship is simply amazing to watch. Extraordinary.
For those of you who have only viewed this condensed version, remember that some of us watched Dave just sand wood, metal, primer, etc. for hours.
Thank you for this video. It brings back alot of memories of helping my neighbor build stage coaches/ mud wagons/ and buggies.😊
Its now about time for us to get back to the old ones to save the earth. Que tingas un bun dia guyz
Far and away my favorite TH-cam channel. thank you for Sharing your talent skill and craftsmanship
I am truly looking forward to seeing your next project Chuck wagon.
Dave, in the role of credits you forgot a really really critical activity - a highly skilled craft no less: Sanding!
Dave, I keep forgetting to tell you that I like your choice of music that you use in your videos it coordinates with your work and what you do.
That is a beautiful Buggy. I use to watch and called myself helping my Grandfather do repairs and refinish the seats on his 100+ y/o buggy about 60 years ago. He would hook up old Daisy and we would go to town to the grocery store for my Grandma. Man I think about how things were different back then.
Thanks Dave 73 AB7RR Bob God Bless America
The whole thing is such a delicate construction. No dimension is any bigger than it absolutely need to be. That for instance the step irons were still attached to the old box after so many years with only three small screws each and almost no leverage is testament to a very optimised design and solid craftsmanship.
Хороший дядька. Живи долго. Будь счаслив.
Beautiful job. Every video I am just baffled by your wide range of skills and talents!
Thanks for your interest ! Such a pleasure to watch …..except that sanding !! He hee !
The stop-motion screws at 5:20 were precious. :-)
This is the best video I have watched in a very long time, maybe ever. Would love to ride in the wagon.
Excellent workmanship in so many trades. So nice to see a master at work.
This video is great but it's not long enough lol.. true craftsman. I think I've watched all the videos, I could watch you work all day, like the guy with the broken wheel. Lol
I love the old craftsmanship, not a nail gun in sight. Always a pleasure watching skilled hands doing amazing things.
What a video thanks sharing it. You are a craftsman for sure, very impressive you made everything except the horses.
Brother, I’m truly IMPRESSED! 👍🏾🔥
Very good summary of all that work that went into restoring a worn out buggy into something that looks like it was just unloaded at the train depot yesterday.
That's a ton of work! Looks awesome! Thank You!
Your skills simply put Amaze Me
What a absolutely beautiful buggy! 🏜️🌵 🤠 🇺🇲
Most enjoyable fantastic work by a pure craftsman.
Sean from Ireland 🇮🇪
Boba,koca dünyada böyle yetenekli kaç kişi vardır? Maşallah maşallah.
A true master of those trades. Excellent work and video.
Truly an amazing exhibition in craftsmanship. Job well done.
Leaves ya speechless! Awesome
All I have to say is Your Great!
This man is insanely talented and amazing no amount of money would give me his talent to create things out of wood and other materials he truly is a brilliant man I love this its art
Man, I hope this guy is training some young dude to come along after him and keep this art alive.
I can't think of anything else to say that hasn't been said
Thank you 😊
Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it! Unreal! 👍
Thanks for the synopsis of this project. I followed it all the way thru its journey before and nice to see it again thanks for doing this again and letting us see the whole thing once more. ECF
I wish I could train my screws to drive themselves in like that. Your work is truly amazing, and you've taken it to a high art form. You even make sure all the square-head nuts are turned the same way. I enjoyed seeing the old-fashioned way of seat upholstery with pleating and the hog-hair seat padding (at least, that's what we called it in the furniture factory I worked in that did colonial-style furniture).
The other channels I'm subscribed to are all feeling left out and abandoned (and they are😄), because I haven't watched them but a couple of times since discovering this one.
