One of the things I like is that you left the "Sing" in your Anvil Dave. lots of smiths deaden them to surpress the Ringing. Im not a smithy. but that has always been music to my ears. No it's not my Tinnitus either!. And like so many others I just get so relaxed and enjoy every second of each video. I also am so glad that these video's are a testament to your skills and are being saved for the future Coach builder to come. Thank you for doing it and most of all for sharing. I always come away learning something from every one of them. God speed.
@@JSAC66 you're probably right. I think Dave is a few years older than me but when I was out of school, I and many of my classmates joined companies that gave a broad engineering training plus skills you pick up along the way gives you not only direct skills but transferrable skills so that you can turn your hand to most things. I don't think this happens these days. You may not have seen this but Dave is pretty handy with a sewing machine too.
I've been watching this channel for more than 3 years now. The knowledge, skills, tools and patience you've amassed over the last 40 years in the buggy restoration business can never be duplicated, even if an apprentice wannabe were to walk into your shop tomorrow and was willing to pay great sums of money to learn the trade, they would never succeed. YOU MY FRIEND ARE A ONE OFF and should be included into a Registry of one of Americas Greatest Master Craftsmen (if one such registry does exist).
Adam Booth (abom79), Eric O. (South Main Auto Repair), Richard (Precision Transmission) and Leo Sampson (Sampson Boat Co) all are Grand Master Craftsmen. The first three regularly are paid to fix things already worked on by Master Craftsmen, thus the Grand.
I gave up my TV several years ago, so I now watch a lot of TH-cam. I have several favorite channels. But there are two that I eagerly wait for: Bad Obsession Motorsports, and EngelsCoachShop.
Have always wanted to build a wooden wagon....we have many skeletons of same scattered round in Australia. May have to wait until the new world when I’ll have more time.....the last 73yrs have gone so quickly and I still have so much to do I’ll need the 1000 yrs...
A fully loaded wagon(~2000lb) + 2400lb of horse flesh. Those pins look awfully dainty for the only interface between them. Now I see why the hero in the old western movies raced like hell to capture those runaway wagons. 😊
I've been watching your channel for almost three years now and I'm always learning something new. I'm from southern Germany, where the old trades of the wheelwright (carriage wheels), locksmith, blacksmith are almost extinct. Your auxiliary machines inspire me because I come from jig-construction as a mechanical. Through my woodwork I came across your channel, where many professions go hand in hand.
Thx for video. Came here by accident and have no interest in carriages specifically, but enjoyed it. I respect skill and value things of old. Keep up the good work and ty again!
I love watching your videos. Not going to lie, I get a little nostalgic thinking of how much pleasure my late father would have gotten watching videos like this. I hope that everyone enjoys them and finds them as interesting he would have.
It is mesmerizing to watch you patiently incrementally bend, twist, or straighten the components as you fit them to all work together. You take old weathered and even possibly wrecked mismatched iron parts to create a masterpiece as you match them to new wooden components. I enjoy watching you ply your craftmanship. I am so thankful for you taking the time to create this library of the buggy and wagon trade. So much hard-earned experience vanishes every day as people either retire or quit the trades.
This is the only Channel I watch without fail each time a new video comes down every week. I don't know what I would do without my weekly dose of Dave. Thank you for providing such valuable entertainment
Hello Sir All this work and the Man hours you spend on this buggy i think this buggy always belongs in a Museum or always run only in the sunshine 😀😀 Thank you for sharing your skills Have a good weekend and a wonderfull New week Yours Frank Galetzka
A lot of mechanics wish they could remove and replace two bolts and double the horsepower of their vehicle. Makes a supercharger look way over-rated! Still lovin your vids. 😎👍👀
I lived many places in Montana. My mother was born at a homestead in Alder. You are the essence of the Montana folks I remember. Although I'll never leave Alaska, I get a little homesick for Montana when I watch your videos. It's like hanging out with an old friend in his shop. Can almost smell the wood stove and coffee.
To the folks asking about the tongue fitment of the forks and why there's irons. Always remember; if a man can put it on a horse can rip it off. Horses are insanely strong beasts.
I could watch you do this kind of stuff for the rest of my life. I never get tired of it, and it makes me wish that I was young enough to follow in your footsteps. Thank you for one of the most enjoyable things that I have left to do during this most trying times of mine or even our lives. God bless you for taking the time to put this in a format that we can share with you.
I find it amazing how he can look at the shape of the irons and wood and bend the irons so it matches the shape of the wood perfectly. Dat’s talent and patience.
Smile - Hand-formers do it everyday in the aircraft industry. I would assume body-shops, welders and such folks, too. The really good ones have elevated beating-on-a-piece-of-metal to an art form. I was adequate at it, but never brilliant.
Dave love the way you use your hands to show issues you must correct. So many TH-cam channels have people droning on about what the issues are and how to correct them. You just point and do it. I’m guessing you teach the same way! Keep it up!
David, I'm torn here. Do I want to watch this video tonight, after a long day at work, or wait until tomorrow, when I have most of the day off. Not, should I do it now, but do it tomorrow, when I can relax and enjoy it. Then, it will be the highlight of my relaxing day. steve
I have been watching your videos for some time now and don't think I have ever made a comment. Your work is nothing short of magic. The detail and skill shown is amazing. Thanks for sharing your work and cataloging your skill for future generations. If you ever feel like taking on a 61 year old Irish apprentice I'll be on the next flight to Montana..... :-)
I almost didn't recognize you at the beginning without the bandanna around your neck. Must be warming up out there. Always enjoy your work and attention to detail. Exceptional!
I watch you make those tiny adjustments in curvature on that multi-peg-hole curvature bender and I think of an advertisement for "THE BENDOMATIC 5000!".
Mr. Engels sir your skill at what you do amazes me beyond belief!! Such a craftsman at your trade and attention to detail. I love watching your videos thank you posting them.
Such patience and painstaking attention to detail- you, sir, are a challenge and an inspiration to improve my temperament and workmanship. I honestly think watching you has made me a better carpenter.
Your excellent craftsmanship is second to none. Your teaching style is fantastic. Your quality control is top-notch. My question is back when the original was made did the pride of what the buggy builder made with his hands was all of the quality control needed? I can picture the shop floor boss, wearing his wool suit complete with his well-worn shirt and tie. He would be glancing over his shoulder at his boss who was looking thru the 2nd story shop facing windows, all while he was looking over the shoulders of the buggy factory craftsmen, who knew their craft very well. The floor boss had to look like he was worth the $0.25 a day higher salary. Pitty the poor apprentices who had 3 more years of work to go before they could be true craftsmen, Personally, I think that some things never change with time.
I just wish it was so easy to fix things. Just hit it with a hammer or heat it with a flame. Just wonderful watching you work. A man and his craft. Cheers...
l was a little to far down the road to get here on time.....An so l finally got back a few days late cause my horse is old and a little bit slow.....So l watched your video and l might add it was a good one....Thanks...!
As I watch, I try to imagine the 'load pathing' in the wood and metal structure... Easy to see why both wood and metal are used... Wood being lighter and metal for 'hard points'... I 'get it' that wood separates the metal pieces, rendering substantial strength improvement... and the metal reinforces the strength of the wood... So it does seem like there is a symbiotic relationship that might be difficult to improve on. One works much better combined with the other! I LIKE it!! Thanks Mr. Dave!
I'd like to know how he can clock slotted screws. A lot of the time when I try to do it, where it first lines up isn't tight enough and it's to tight to make the next half turn.
If any of your customers should ever complain about the price of their job, just refer them to the video to show just much work and craftsmanship goes into such a seemly simple job.
Dave You have thought us a lots of way to bend / straighten iron today. Hoosfield bender, anvil & hammer, hydraulic press, vise with crescent wench, vise free hand, vise with torch, torch free hand, I am sure I miss a few. THANKS Dan H
One thing Dave was doing that really didn't show was when bending/straightening metal with drilled holes is to not apply force on those opening while doing it. Indeed since metal where a holes are is weaker it can crimp is pressure is either on top of it or the opening is so large that the metal near its edge doesn't resist as well. I've found that if a hole is 1/4 or these than the width of the metal in the center it's less likely to deform but it larger than this it will almost wants to fold yet there's a trick to make it less prone to do so. I've found tha a nut/bolt with either thick oversized washers or plates sandwiching the hole can prevent this tendancy but of course a bit of heat is often best especially if the metal is needing to be curved along its edge not its face.
At first glance it seems like a buggy pole should be pretty easy to make, but the amount of iron and the curved wood shatters the "easy" thought very quickly. Since whatever is going to move the buggy must transmit that force through the pole, it must be very sturdy and resilient.
Thanks for sharing Dave, I watch you videos even though I will never use a single skill you share, I watch because I love to see what I could have done if I just practiced a little more.. [;~) Not really Dave my Father was the one who could have done about anything you do and if he couldn't he was a quick study.
thanks for all your hard work in producing these very good videos. Do they ever run horses in tandam ( one behind the other ) I do not think I have seen any ref to it in the USA but here in the UK it used ( long time ago) be common for the young "rakes " of the day ( the rich show off types) it was considered faster than a pair ) many years ago ( I am 74 ) my uncle who had a farm where I spent my young days had the contract to mow the local grave yard he would not take the old fordson major but we took the horse ( to be peaceful) so I have used a horse to mow with . but don't ask about the Jersey Bull he had ,he could control it but no one else could ( he was like other Jersey Bulls a killer )
Your timber is always of highest quality. Do you hand select yourself or rely on a trusted merchant. Would be a good video to show how you select materials.
David, I always enjoy watching you at work teaching all of us. I wait for every Friday to come so that I get to see the teacher at work teaching. Thanks for sharing
Dave, is it as satisfying to make as it is to watch it being made? I'm envious of your skills and your eye for how to create or re-create the metal and wood pieces to match.
Usted es el mejor...Dios lo bendiga "You are the best....God bless you" Este país debe de estar orgulloso de usted.. "this country has to be very pround of you "
Great job Mr. Engels, and I like your eye for the details, Including the one with regards to welding up the holes. As a lot of people on TH-cam, do not realize that welders and camera's do not play well together. So I am glad that you put forth the effort to compensate for that while still letting us see what you was doing.
For decades, the most popular movies made in Hollywood were westerns, probably in the thousands. Inevitably in these movies there would be a stagecoach chased by outlaws or Indians or pioneers in covered wagons struggling across mountains and deserts, breaking axles, tipping over, washed away in rivers or going over cliffs etc. They must have had a huge industry in Hollywood for the building and repair of all these wagons.
One of the things I like is that you left the "Sing" in your Anvil Dave. lots of smiths deaden them to surpress the Ringing. Im not a smithy. but that has always been music to my ears. No it's not my Tinnitus either!. And like so many others I just get so relaxed and enjoy every second of each video.

My cat likes to sit next to the TV and watch your videos. She likes all the movement.
There will always be a fascination for buggies and carriages. Now are there any young people learning this skilled craft?
After years of making buggies and wagons for other folks this man should have one of his own !
The cobblers children were barefoot. I do have a number that I hope to share someday also.
@@EngelsCoachShop What's style of wagon or buggy would you prefer if you did have one ?My guess would be a working mans " buckboard" !
I'm in Australia and I get breakfast out of the way early Saturday morning for my weekly fix of Engels. Mate you are a Legend!
It's half an hour before midnight here in Germany. Thanks for this perfect bedtime story. :D

Add to the above tradeoffs of material availability (wood/iron) and costs and ease/difficulty of fabrication.
Sometimes there is no substitute for a big old Crescent wrench as a cheater bar.

Do they ever run horses in tandam ( one behind the other ) I do not think I have seen any ref to it in the USA but here in the UK it used ( long time ago) be common for the young "rakes " of the day ( the rich show off types) it was considered faster than a pair )
many years ago ( I am 74 ) my uncle who had a farm where I spent my young days had the contract to mow the local grave yard he would not take the old fordson major but we took the horse ( to be peaceful) so I have used a horse to mow with .
but don't ask about the Jersey Bull he had ,he could control it but no one else could ( he was like other Jersey Bulls a killer )
Im a fan of your craftmanship and the bluegrass music you have in the backround.
so much blood, sweat, and tears... I hope you get a test drive ;)
Another talented and beautiful job. I could watch all day long.
Man, I just love the way you work.
Very nice work
Your timber is always of highest quality. Do you hand select yourself or rely on a trusted merchant. Would be a good video to show how you select materials.
It has to be a premium grade to be bendable so that really helps.
Dave, nearly every week you show new tricks, so simple, but effective. You are an amazing man. Thanks.
If I had a teacher like Dave 50yrs ago when still at school pretty sure I’d have followed his footsteps.
Excellent video again 👍
