Starting New Wheels for an English Brougham Carriage | Engels Coach Shop

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles of the American west sometimes involves carriages originally designed in England. The Brougham is an English gentleman's carriage designed by Lord Henry Peter Brougham around 1838. Although an English design, many Broughams were built in America and a number of them found their way to the American west, usually acquired by the more wealthy and affluent. They were driven by a hired driver and used for private purposes instead of in public service.

Wetting out both faces of a glue joint gives a better bond! So many details handled with perfection in your shop!
It always makes me chuckle to think that just maybe, in a couple of hundred years a craftsman will take that band off, look at it sagely and say... 'hmm, MIG welded...'
I was thinking the exact same thought.
@@maxnex7676 as was I
He'll look at it say, that an Engels.
Indeed, C Smith. In fact, lots of guys 50-100 years from now will be happily realizing what they're repairing/replacing is an Engels-- and they'll be happy it is because the measurements and etc will be precise and easy to replicate.
@@crustycurmudgeon2182 I think any Engels hub would last far more than just fifty years. I also think Dave should mark them with a monogram of some sort and the date so people in the future would know exactly what they're looking at.
sir, I really enjoy your work I ; am 84 years old I was a treads men you are truly a master craftsman.
That is some amazing work. Only a Master Craftsman could perform.
Please don't ever worry about having too long or too many videos! Plenty of us will watch them and be enthralled the whole time.
Stay healthy.
من مصر نحييك يا رجل انت محترف وصانع جيد للتراث الشعبي والمطلوب لكل المستويات نحييك،🇪🇬👍💐
Gotta be dedicated to a trade to do handcrafted products. In some ways modern is good but seeing these craftsmanship techniques makes one wonder.🤔👍👍👍🇨🇦
I know it is a simple thing, but I do like you glue spreader. Thanks for the video.
It looks like what a French chef uses to make crepes.
Use it to spread marmalade. :)
You are an artist on the lathe.
It is just a pleasure to watch you work. Besides dayjobs in offices I ve done simply carpentry freelance work, I was a theatre major in college . Most fun freelance job I've had was working for a week,( I took a vacation just to have this week) at the Public Theatre in NYC. Simple theatrical carpentry and Electrics for setting up lighting. It's such a pleasure seeing your craft.
Sounds like a fun gig.
@@EngelsCoachShop Brief story, the main show was Midsummer's Nights dream and they decided to do real grass , resulting in tons of Earth on the stage, the platforms which I helped build were triple strength, especially for after watering.

Greetings from Germany
Yours Frank
Very cool... I have always equated "Brougham" with Luxury.. Now we know the rest of the story... ;)
There’s no alternative for basic skills , if precision and accuracy is the ultimate objective.
I've been a machinist/fabricator/mechanic for 55 years and your skills amaze me! Thanks for your videos.
He has a wood stove. Errors are easily dealt with. J/K 😁
Errors, I’ve never seen him make an error
@@genegoodman5233 Theres one on vid. He fouled the math up. Did a nice job of fixing it.
I am amazed by your mastery. As your videos go by, I can see all your material in the background, and I know that each object is precious to you in your work. An incredible library of knowledge, and you, the conductor with your hands. Each tool, each object in your hands, the wheel. Be well and thank you a thousand times. Pierre de Vierzon France.
Je suis éberlué par votre maitrise. Au fur et à mesure de vos vidéos, je distingue en arrière plan, tout votre matériel, et je sais que chaque objet est précieux pour vous dans votre travail. Une bibliothèque de savoir incroyable, et vous, le chef d’orchestre avec vos mains. Chaque outil, chaque objet entre vos mains, la roue. Portez vous bien et merci mille fois. Pierre de Vierzon France.
The old saw, "Jack of all trades master of none", sure doesn't apply here. Now it's "Master of all". Of course after watching four years of your videos this is not a new concept. It sure was nice watching that piece of flat bar steel become a ring. And since wood turning is my thing I can say you certainly did the maple hubs proud. Thanks for sharing Dave. And please stay healthy.
Thanks and keep well yourself.
Artistry! Yep. Artistry.
Back to Friday Night with the Wheelwright. Thanks Dave.
I always like learning new things :)
your videos are so relaxing to watch
If I still smoked a pipe this is one series I would really enjoy smoking to. cheers
Looking good already!
Great job sir I have watched naives (hubs)been made here in the uk 🇬🇧 so it was great joy to watch you sir can’t wait to see part 2 and how you put the bands on take care see you soon 👍
Presente: Cordial Saludo; Desde. Zapopan, Jalisco, Mx. Siempre fiel y Pendiente.
My girlfriend was enthralled watching you make the hub bands. Awesome. And it's our Friday time together watching your craftsmanship
Now there's a girl to grab hold of.
So enjoyable to watch
watching from the Philippines...nice work
The skill and craftsmanship is absolutely amazing! As a pipefitter, welder, fabricator for 41 years, I don't get to make that statement very often when I get to witness actual talent, that can't be taught, and for people like you it is as naturally as brushing your teeth!
I'm amazed by your tool collection, so many specialized things I've never imagined let alone seen. Probably common long ago when wheelwrighting was a going trade in any town. But that tiny glue squeegy got a "wow" from me. Been gluing up boards for projects about 50 years and never thought of that.
Dave showed the details of that "glue squeegy" a while back. It's a piece of bandsaw blade, kinda like what are used when spreading mortar to lay tile floors, etc.
I have no doubt this would have been John Wayne's favorite channel.
Thank you for your time making the video. Always learn from your videos. Stay safe.
I could watch this all day, but it would be more fun to do it all day. Never a dull moment.
You didn't make making the hub bands look easy, but there was no wasted effort; every move was purposeful. A genuine pleasure to watch you work.
Brilliant.....as usual!
I like the way you do your videos!
Excellent, as always.
yep every chance i take i keep watching and learning and yearning for a better quality of life
Thanks for sharing and keep em coming.
few world leaders would do well to take a look at Mr Engels! they would learn so much of what matters in life and the way you live it.
There are not many people like you Dave, and that's for sure. Long may you continue.
Gracias Maestro x sus enseñanzas
Saludos desde México
all ways love your lathe turning videos 🙂👍 almost hypnotic 💖😀
So good to see Mom & Dave back after what both of You have gone through with the channel. I'm so sorry there are people in this world that believe hijacking is the same as working. My wife and I recently had a credit card episode of similar nature. My wife noted a false charge for a soda (test charge) at a hotel in Memphis (we live in Southern California). We reported it not only to the credit card company, but to the local police, who went to the hotel and arrested the bum, after he tried to charge $1,200 for hotel fees. Watching Dave work for a living, especially the quality and skill he applies, reminds us all that there are still people in America worth leaning from and emulating.
Glad you were on top of it. It is frustrating though huh.
As usual a teacher in what you do, we were enthralled until the last second, thanks very much
Dave you are certainly putting on a clinic how to properly carve those on the lathe , a true talented master of your craft , in so many ways it's therapeutic and relaxing to watch .
wow first!!
Good to see you got everything back to how it should be dave!
was missing you when you were hijacked.
Grab the 3/4 socket set, we need to press this apart... always enjoy knowing I'm not the only one. Nice work!
You are so right! Even if it's a cheap Chinese socket set, 3/4 is nice to have available. Can't work on a tractor without them!
Priceless set indeed when pressing things in or out.
Yep, you're not alone there.
Dave, I'm so happy you are back. I will never grow tired of watching you work in your shop.
Thanks again for letting us watch. Blessings on you and yours in these troubled times, Dave.
*Satisfaction* is another Engels Coach Shop video!! That hard maple is some long-running wood, hey!! I seem to recall hard maple was used as boxings (is that the right word?) in some tandem discs for a Ford N series tractors... :-)
I've seen that also Duane
Arguably one of the best shows on you tube. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Woodworking and the blacksmith combined make these shows so interesting. A lost art in my part of the world. I watch as many of these videos as possible and I am in awe of your abilities. I have often said what a hobby to get into, however one would never be able to get the tools necessary to do this work let alone having the ability to do it. That being said I will just have to keep on watching. Of all the shows on TH-cam you would be the person I would like to meet. Thank you for sharing you craft.
Friday nights are normal again!! Thanks Dave!
When you want it done right take it to Mr. Engels . Thanks for posting the video very enjoyable .
Thanks for getting your channel back! Let's all appreciate this content even more since we all missed it while it was gone!
another deep insight into the work of a real artisan, got a problem, no problem I'll just make two new pieces,simple. keep it up Dave..........a ray of light in these interesting times
Very interesting how you used the skue to shape the hubs. It is suppose to not be that easy to learn how to use it. You’ve mater it!
Very enjoyable, thanks
Incredible artistry and talent possessed by one person is so frustrating yet a joy to behold. From the skill of replicating the details on the lathe to the forge work and then the camera work (maybe some assistance here???). This whole channel just exudes quality and is my regular Saturday morning viewing (owing to the time difference here across the pond). So thank you (both) for your superb output and please keep it up for those of us who can only dream of possessing such skills. As they say in my neck of the woods "hywl fawr" and stay safe.
Thanks Steve. Just a 1 man show so nothing too fancy.
@@EngelsCoachShop Well then sir, I stand corrected and even more overwhelmed by your seemingly endless talents. Thank you for putting me straight on that but now i need to add editing and cinematography to your highlights. Take care and keep safe.
Fantastic! I dearly love your work and attitude... Thank you for the videos... I'll be watching.
Thanks Dave, nice to see you back!
Aarghhh... it’s a cliff hanger. Love your stuff. Thanks for all your hard work to bring this to all to us.
I'm really enjoying your efforts,thank you Mr.Angels for allowing me to look over your shoulder once more.
Brougham is a small village with both a Castle and a Hall 23 miles north of me. The Brougham carriage was named after the Lord Brigham. Its now about 25 miles south of the English / Scottish border but a sign outside Brigham Hall said historically that was the border.

Always a pleasure to watch an artisan at work.
Thank you for your time Mr Engles, and thank you for sharing your skills with us.
‘Life isn’t always easy’’. You got that right
thank you for another great video. I think your talents working with metal and wood and everything else speaks for itself; your in a league with few members. The part of your video that I'd like to point out is thhe editing; it's simply outstanding. Your choice of when to go 4x speed and when to completely skip a portion is perfectly balanced and thought out in my opinion. For example, if you are making 4 items, you show in good detail the first one, less detail the second, and may possible skip the entire 3d and 4th. It's never boring and you keep your audience's attention....well done, well done!
Thank you. It is a challenge, but if I get bored in the editing I figure you'll get bored in the watching.
True Craftsman
A master craftsman whose videos I look forward to every week. Thank you for continuing to educate me in these traditional skills. Stay safe and well.
Ahhh. Friday might fix. Thank-you.
Thank you .
Enjoy watching you create your masterpieces. You never cease to amaze.
Always enjoy watching a skilled tradesman. Just so satisfying.
With regards to your comment on video length, you might enjoy watching another skilled tradesman on a channel called "Clickspring".
This guy, "Chris" is also a brilliant videographer. Knows storytelling, framing, timing, when to voiceover, any aspect of putting together a video that people really love to watch.
I find this so relaxing, I can sit and watch this for hours
I feel like I could make hubs after watching you make so many!
I'm liking that tool rest/carriage on the wood lathe. Also nice to see real gouges and skews used instead of scrapers.
American Craftsmanship Dave! It’s sad that that is a disappearing. Excellent job!
Sad thing with the loss of knowledge comes the loss of all the tools. All just fading into the past.
Very nice glue up! I enjoyed watching this, Cliff Wow ~~ The wood turning was over the top. I'm in awe of your quiet talent !
We don't mind a nother video. Bring it on Dave.
Just happened to check TH-cam 44 seconds after the video went up. Love the videos!
its just a joy to watch you Mr. Engels
very cool 1 block 2 hubs nice
If I took up this trade, I'd only repair unicycles..... Excellent video as usual, Dave. Good to have you back.
Thank you
Your videos are very soothing to watch after a busy day at work, thanks
Superb video! The digital technology captures your analog artistry, perfectly! Thanks!
Thank you so much Dave for another wonderful video! You are the best!
Hub pipe--been there & done that. I have a stack of off cuts and pieces laying on the floor in the barn, but it is rare to find a piece that does not need another piece welded on, or something like that. Bolts, nuts, and washers. A couple of years ago I took nearly 100 pounds in several buckets to the recycle place, I could never find what I needed and some of them were 40 years old. Yes, it would be wonderful to have a wall of drawers for all these but there is only so much room in that old barn. Mesmerizing videos you make.
Of course now the next piece of iron he'll need will be 23 feet of 4 inch pipe. :D
I really enjoy watching your channel. I am watching a master at his craft.
I am glad to know that the hubs I made twenty two years ago of Canada hard maple are in fact acceptable material. I made four wheels for a child’s wagon that I had started but did not finish until much later. I had wanted to build a wagon for my children but then found out that my wife and I couldn’t have any. In 2008 God had other plans and our son was born. In 2010 I finally finished it up. It now has many miles on it but is still as sturdy as new. They are traditional dished wheels mortised and tenons.
Really nice camera work and editing. And it's always a pleasure to look over your shoulder as you tackle obstacles. Always learning.
just great... 🥇
Hi Dave. It never gets old. It's good to be able to follow along and remember you having done similar jobs. Next week will be interesting.
Amazed again at the way you choreograph these tasks into a he-man ballet. I would make a terrible blacksmith. I’d be trying to remember where I left the hammer or tongs until the iron was room temp again.
thanks for taking us along on the journey
Once again, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I could watch your videos, one after another. Please keep em coming. 😎👍👏
Was much impressed when you drew out that big cone of a thing to round the hub bands! I can only wonder about the origins of that thing. Thanks for the video!
It's called a floor cone mandrel or floor cone anvil. You can get them at any blacksmith's supply house.
So I was wondering about part of that process... you can see how he makes the first one a bit too small, so the ends overlap, then stretches it back out on the mandrel til they just meet. Is there a reason for that, or was it just how that one happened to start out?
I don't know nothin' about blacksmithing, but every time I see hot iron in a video, it sure does seem like there's a lot of persnickety adjustments to be made. :)
@@Reziac it just happens while rounding it up
JimTheSoundman Yeah Jim, just lie down and have your doctor tell you how much it costs 😁.
The art of using *a cone* to create a perfect, *parallel* cylinder astonishes me..
Thank you for posting , I could watch these all day.
Love watching your videos Dave, keep up the good work! Have you ever thought about doing a blooper video? We all know things don't always go right the first time! 😉
Really? Hmmm. Not everything always goes right?
Любо-дорого смотреть на работу мастера.
What incredible skills you display here and of course on all your other most excellent videos. It's such a shame that you have no apprentice to pass on these skills. I have to say that the State of Montana, the United States and indeed the rest of the world be very much the poorer when you finally retire. Great good health and longevity to you. Thank you for posting such educational, inspirational and enthralling content, it is an utter joy to watch.
