Please don't refrain from making wheel videos. You may think they are repetitious but they are a joy to watch, even if they are the same style wheel. I will never tire watching a master craftsman at work.
I have been a machinist for 34 years and have built or machined many things but what you did with those hubs is amazing. Craftsmanship at it's best..............
Your comment at the start about things being repetitive I don't think is an issue. I don't own a wagon, will never own a wagon and will never repair a wagon. I watch you channel, like a number of others, for the enjoyment of seeing a craftsman at work.
I am impressed that you can complete all that work without talking/yelling at yourself all day. It makes the information more valuable to those who do not speak english, a real gift to the world.
Great stop-motion on the mortising machine! Nice work on a challenging set of hubs. I’ve been watching this channel for a couple years now, and feel I’ve learned enough that if I lived about 700 miles closer, I could stop by sometimes and lend a useful hand. I’m impressed by all the skills you bring to your work; carpenter, cabinet maker, wheelwright, wainwright, smith, welder, machinist, videographer, editor, host, historian, teacher and so much more. And all delivered with remarkable patience. You are a great example to all. Thank you very much sir!
You, sir, are a magician. There were at least 8 different variables that I could count in "averaging" a solution. Most people use computers to manage 8 variables. You do it with pencil and paper and your memory. Like I said - a magician. Thanks for all you do.
In my trade I travel all over my county to do work on farms and ranches. Because of this channel I often go look at the wagons people have, just to see the different styles you have shown being repaired. It is fascinating to see all the woodwork and metalwork and how it goes together. Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
I race an old wagon for fun. That got me into watching this channel and because of it, I look closer at all of the wooden wagons to pick out different changes between the antique wagons we race, and the newly built ones.
I’ll be 76 in a couple of weeks and wish that I had seen your videos way sooner. So many tricks I’m learning and want desperately to try them all. Thanks for the incentive.
Jeff, we have no wagons in Ireland but your skill set is very much appreciated. The great lady in the back ground is so important in your success story.
I think the main thing is in abundance of content most people don’t care if it’s repetitive we just like new content actually we just like you and watching you work in this world of Covid I feel like the more videos you could put out would probably help the masses. As it gives us something to watch and appreciate
I could watch you building wheels or any other farm implement all day long. Oh, wait, I just did. Always fun to watch no matter how often you do the same thing.
15:36 Gauging the circumference and then adjusting for the gap is simply fascinating - and something I had no idea about until I started watching these vids. The talent and skill I see, every week, in these videos is satisfying in a way I would have never thought.
Me too. When I watched my first of these I though that there must be an easier way to do that. Then, as I watched more and more of them I began to appreciate how much more accurate that method was over any other I knew of.
I have watched so many of your videos and never get tired of watching you work. I work methodically and organized and seeing you do it similarly is cathartic. the big difference between us is you, sir are a true artist in many different facets of your trade craft! My compliments to you, sir.
My hat goes off to You Sir.... The patience You demonstrate and the craftsmanship is superior... Loved how You broke the video down today... some interesting camera tricks... Thanx for the vid
I dont mind repetition, you have a relaxing voice and great presentation, I suspect I would watch you peel potatoes as long as you narrated as you went. Just mt thoughts.
In the motorcycle industry, I lost count of how many times I had to lace up a custom wheel to a stock "or stock type" hub, then fit it to a customers bike. I've laced up everything from a 14 inch to a 27 inch on old hidden brake, spindle or drum hubs.... often time having to custom cut my own spokes to get the lacing pattern right. Then the fun of getting them lined up on the right center for the frame they go on..... nobody teaches this stuff, it's a learning experience every time! Just like you're wheel building, there is a base knowledge that has to be in place.
Man, the montage effect you did with the hub mortising instantly made me think of a Jan Švankmajer film. I'm pretty sure the Venn diagrams of people that love Engels Coach and Švankmajer doesn't overlap very much, but this is nothing but a yet another compliment.
I loved the stop motion mortising sequence. It had a distinct 1930's 1940's instructional movie vibe. Just a vote of appreciation for that, it was terrific!
Remember to hide a note in the hub, "Don't blame me! It's what the customer wanted!" so that 150 years from now the next poor slob won't go. "Why are all of them DIFFERENT?!"
I'm a structural designer, been doing this for over 40 years. I never realized the amount of "irons" and how complex they can be on wagons and wheels. Thanks for showing me!
Doing things a tried and tested way that works is the true sign of a craftsman. I always learn something new each video. Thnx for sharing your knowledge
Great Series. I love how a skilled craftsman just seems to do the job in the best order in the fastest most efficient way. When asked why they do this or that, they can tell you the history and why it’s done that way. Decades of practice and information passed on from multiple generations, we truly stand on the shoulders of giants. Love to see info being recorded for future generations.
I think, Dave, part of your particular draw to your channel is your editing and storytelling during your builds. You have a charm and a presence that is enjoyable to watch, even if it *is* the 4the hub rebuild in 6 months, or whatever.. Only half is the subject matter, the other half is your presentation that is just so enjoyable to watch. There are other YT'ers out there with interesting subject matter but unfortunately their presentation makes it less interesting or even a slog to watch thru the entire episode. Thank you for what you do and how you do it; I always get excited to see that you've released a new video, because I know I have another 30-50 minutes of good, informative, sometimes historical, but always enjoyable entertainment.
That pre-drilled hub shape reminds me of a large LEGO head piece. You should paint your face on one. Your videos are always a treat to watch! Thanks for making my day better!
Another fantastic video. Now you need a friend/relative who makes leather horse/ox harnesses to go with the Lamp man and you have the horse, the wagons and the light to go on them!
lt's very pleasing to watch you....Work many thanks....From my old Kentucky home...Built in 1885 here in my little town in Middlesboro Ky...l am about 2 miles from Cumberland Gap...!
I have watched all your videos, and enjoy watching every part of your trade, including wheels. Watching a job be done with skill is not repetitious. It never gets old. Thanks!
Loved your old metal lathe & how you used it to turn wood as well. Pretty sure I glimpsed Noah’s initials etched into it from when he had it in the Ark. 😜😂😂👍👍👍🇦🇺
That is amazing how different all the hubs were, lots of hands working on that thing over the years. Thanks for sharing, The Luminary Shop is great also thanks for convincing him to do it. Charles
Never a dull moment. Your work might seem to be the same, but you make it unique and interesting every time. Drilling out the spokes was very clever editing, thank you.
Speaking as a mechanic & machinist, we're a dieing breed. Keep up the good work, there's still folks out there that appreciate fine craftsmanship and quality.....
So much depth in your profession!! I love to watch you match and move the parts as you line them for measuring. I can almost hear your Thought process!! Thanks for another great video👍👍🎩
What with all the multiplicity of camera angles, segues, stop-motion editing, &c.; I have to say your cinematography skills must be the envy of craft videographers everywhere! That being said -- and quite apart from your mastery of materials and craftsmanship, extolled elsewhere -- it is the consummate skill with which you approach analysis, creative problem-solving, design, and then, once prepared, your throughput that I find truly remarkable. I mean, last week's running gear video was a joy to watch -- how on earth you managed to average out the differences on those four hubs and then build them in such a short time (I do realize you multi-task across jobs) -- and *then* create the perfect video record of the work is quite amazing!
@@EngelsCoachShop Well, I think I can speak for everyone here when I say that you have not only risen to the challenge, you've surpassed it by a country mile!
Hello Sir It is good to see that this pair of wheels belongs her personality and that you handle it with care and love for your work I am working in my grandfathers shop now to build a new piece of wood that fit in a rotten in german it is called Schwellbalken at my house So as i work in the shop i feel the presence of my grandfather in my imagination It is a good warm feeling i like it All the best wishes and greetings from Germany Yours Frank
A friend recovers old gummed-up paintbrushes, stuck together by water-based paint, using a strong solution of bio washing powder (detergent). I was surprised to find how well this works. Simply soak then use a scrubbing brush - even masonry paint succumbs eventually. It works as a paint stripper as well. Obviously this encourages rust too, but you have a sandblaster!
The "COVID Phase 3 compliant" contactless mortiser unveiled. Thanks for the chuckle, along with another entertaining and educational video, Dave. I sincerely hope you, Diane and your entire family have a safe & happy 4th of July! Garrett
I enjoyed the video as usual, at first I thought you were going to refuberish the old hubs and just cut down the bands to fit but after my cup of coffee I saw what you were doing ! Make a flower pot out of the old ones and get rich fast, lol keep the videos coming, nice work !
All old wagons must eventually become a Chimera in one way or another. It's not as though you could just order replacement parts from the manufacturer's website (ha; or eBay). Nice that you were able (and the owner willing) to at least make the replacements look the same.
Mr. Dave ...Editing and production skills are #1 and improving every week... No wonder you're at 120k subscribers... Have a happy 4th Mr. Dave... Also give the Misses a hug and a smooch for the holidays... TC...
said before and I will say it again ,you are one very very skilled guy like myself you like working on your own which leads to an end of a era and skills lost , take care
Haha, this reminds me of when I was a kid. My mom had an old beat up pinto with 4 different used tires on it. Poor folks got poor ways. Anyway, it was all fun and games until we had a blow out on the ice.
*Ugh! Thank goodness you made them all have the same shapes and didn't replicate all the different looking hub designs. True, they have many differing boxing designs, but as you said, the customer asserted they all fit the replaced axles.*
Turning a sows ear into a silk purse...u don't no how long I waited to say that...but u no THEY say He's nuts....thank u.. u and urs have a great ' Fourth '...
We love watching you build wheels, even though you've shown us this many times before. There is always a different twist to many of these videos that make it interesting. When you couldn't sandblast off the latex paint, my first thought was burn it off. The mortise video bit was pure genius!
Some really fine video editing! Oh, and some great carriage work, too. (A great video for Independence Day reminder of our country's heritage. Thank you.)
The stop motion on the cutting of spoke pockets was very cool. Then seeing all the work in the first hub then nonchalantly grabs the parts and then brings back a completed hub. Amazing work to get the hubs to match each other even with the mismatched stuffing boxes.
Dave, Have you though of contacting colleges and museums and seeing if they would be interested in archiving your videos? Seems to me that your work should be preserved in multiple locations for future generations to reference. Watching work being done is by far superior to simply reading about how to do it.
I wonder what the wagon these came off looks like, puts me in mind of Johnny Cash song “I got it one piece at a time”. Its a 47,48,49,51,52,53,54 model wagonobile...I really enjoyed watching you make the new hubs and somehow make them all the same but different, from design to finished article this is a very good watch, please keep posting wheel builds, even those that are the same size.
You never fail to supprise .cant belive that much differance in the hubs on that build .i would have wanted to see the wagon and check the axels myself
Please don't refrain from making wheel videos. You may think they are repetitious but they are a joy to watch, even if they are the same style wheel.
I will never tire watching a master craftsman at work.
No two wheels are exactly alike, nor is the repair required the same. Keep going buddy.
My thought too!!!
No video you have ever put up has ever been boring. It doesn't matter what the subject is, I'm gonna watch it.
I could watch wheel making video’s all day. Please don’t stop making these video’s even if they seem repetitive, I learn something new every time.

I thought laser as well
Mr. Engle, I appreciate your judgement. Thanks for not boring us. Peace, Love and Happiness to you and your wonderful family.
I don't have a wagon or a desire to ever own one but heck did I enjoy watching this! Thank you!
I like how your mortise bit didn’t seem to move but the holes were scared into appearance,Great presentation as usual.KEEP THE GREAT WORK,SIR!!!!!!
Its the new laser guided magic mortise. I'd like to get one that cuts like that!
That stop motion was pretty neat. Dave is a great cameraman, getting the necessary details, then editing with perfection.

Well, that or do the stop-motion. Show a 25# sack, peel one or two, then all of a sudden the entire bag is peeled and diced or quartered.
Yes please. In high heels...!
Neat photo trick with the stop motion sequence, looking cool.
Is patience, the secret of work?
I was thinking I needed/wanted a mortiser like that!

Your workmanship and experience never cease to amaze me. The Video title is 100% accurate.
Once again THANKS for a enjoyable 25 minuets of pure craftsmanship
Remember to hide a note in the hub, "Don't blame me! It's what the customer wanted!" so that 150 years from now the next poor slob won't go. "Why are all of them DIFFERENT?!"
In 150 years the person that works on them may have learnt their trade by watching these videos.

A friend recovers old gummed-up paintbrushes, stuck together by water-based paint, using a strong solution of bio washing powder (detergent). I was surprised to find how well this works. Simply soak then use a scrubbing brush - even masonry paint succumbs eventually. It works as a paint stripper as well. Obviously this encourages rust too, but you have a sandblaster!
