Thanks for the new video in which we were able to admire an ability to assemble and finally build a hood for the gig. Thanks to your lady for the collaboration on her videos. Enjoy the party, a greeting from the city of Catania.
I’m not sure even Dave remembers his full skill set. The man is quite simply an American Treasure.
Schmied,Sattler,Wagenbauer - ein sehr vielseitiger und guter Handwerker.
Woodwork, metalwork, wheelwright, iron munger now seamstress - so many skill sets I’m constantly amazed by your talent.
Maybe the correct term is not "seamstress", but "seamster", rhymes with "teamster". Anyway, it is indeed an amazing skill set!
Enjoy the wedding and catching up with your relatives.
Thank you
As you are sitting at your sewing machine you reminded me of my Grandfather, a master tailor. In 1950/1960 he had the only contact in the USA to mended the Flag that flew over the US Capital. Ortenzio Grandinetti, Johnstown PA. He was So proud to be an American.
His sewing machine was a peddler with a leather drive belt.
Was it a singer sewing machine
My grand ma had a singer with a metal foot pedal I loved to make the pedal move
That old folding ping pong table works great in your shop. From blacksmithing to sewing. So many skills.
It's great how versatile you are.Love watching you make buggy tops.
Best use that I have ever seen for a table tennis table.
I’m pretty sure a Rolls-Royce isn’t built with this much craftmanship and attention to detail. Simply incredible, not to mention how well it is filmed and edited, all by one man.
Your sewing skills are as good as all your other skills.
How is it possible for one man to do so many jobs so wel?>
Some folks are built to be...many are not.
This man is a national treasure.
Beautiful job, thanks. Do the kids ever ask where their pingpong table disappeared to?
I was thinking the same thing. May Forrest Gump gave it to him--looks old enough. It's sad that so many skills are being lost.
Just when you think you've already seen Dave's full skill set.....
Absolutely agree. All this and a tailor/upholsterer too. Simply outstanding.
How does one man learn so much ?
@@gardenman3 by not relying on computers and doing everything hands on.
LOLz, I was thinking the SAME thing!
nerves of steel for that headliner.
Useful repurposing of an old Table-Tennis table!
Darn,and I thought I was the only one that caught that.
I like the trick with the air hose. Flatten and get rid of stray lint in one shot.
I thought of it as an eraser to remove the chalk.
@@bruceharvey8810 did both
If I ever see you extruding the rubber for your tires for the buggies (or growing rubber trees!) that it I will finally throw in the towel! Because I honestly believe that’s the only part of the buggies that I’ve not seen you make by hand! Or sooty I forgot that you did not weave the fabric (but your wife probably did🤔😜😳!) absolutely amazing work!
A man of all trades!
Many talents of Mr. Engel. JC
Ah, a surry with the fringe on top!
And again we THANK you sir
Amazed at the patience and fine eye you have
I've grown to look forward to your weekly videos, for years now I've watched each week with increasing interest. I find all of your videos very interesting and a delight to watch. So much of what you do I've done myself. I'm a restorer of early cars so much of what you do with horse drawn vehicles crosses over into my area of interest. Watching you make the headliner in this episode made me smile because I've been there myself. It can be really hard to get the cloth to lie smooth. I know from personal experience just how much time goes into making a top (or hood as we call them in England) You make it look far easier than it often is, its lovely to watch an experienced craftsman at work. I envy your lovely large layout table and the great idea of a roll holder mounted on the wall at the end of it. I find myself wondering why I didn't think of doing that before now! Thank you so much for taking the time to make and publish these fascinating insights into carriage making. For me they're the best thing on TH-cam.
Your work is nothing but amazing Dave!
It is fascinating watching you work. You are truly a master at your craft. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks again Dave your videos are always the best I've seen and very informative and fun to watch! Please don't stop making them, THANK YOU!!!
Tip for you Dave, cut fabric for tubing on a 45. It will lay flatter and go around corners better.
Lots of work to keep the elements at bay when riding a buggy. Looks like a fun project. Thanks for the video
my mom was a seamstress for a side gig. she taught me how to sew when i was a kid. i thought it was a little girlie back then. i've used the skill numerous times in my life.
Hi Dave,
I never realized how intricate it is to make a buggy top. Always enjoy your videos. Looking forward to the next. You and Diane stay safe and have a fun holiday.
Great range of skills. I never cease to be amazed.
Watching Dave build the buggy, makes me think of the fact that, since he works alone, he is actually practicing many crafts: wainwright, tailor, upholstery, blacksmith, wheelwright, painter, and leather-worker. It is amazing to watch Dave work at the trades he does not show us often.
It's coming along very nicely 👍👍👍👍
Thanks again Dave....Back to work...!
I wish the videos were longer. Many of us are learning a lot. Great work.
New achievement unlocked : Upholsterer :)
Happy Mermorial day thank you to all that have served.
your a Man of many parts and a good eye to see how things go together to look right, well done
Thanks Mr. Engels for another pleasurable time watching one of your videos
Excellent work, and real scissors too!
A “Jack of all trades” and master of all of them. Amazing work.
It’s good to see someone do it all not farm out certain processes, I’ve built my shop on this way thanks Dave shalom
Jonathan W would be envious of your sewing room!! That headliner really makes the top a premium!!
My grandmother was the alterations seamstress at the Paris in Great Falls... she'd have been fascinated to see this. (She could eyeball fabric, hack away at it, and in 5 minutes have a fitted dress.)
That must have been an awfully big Naga. ;)
I always look forward to your videos. Great work.
One of the best uses for a retired ping pong table,ask me why I know ha ha 🤗🤗
youv'e heard the phrase 'A JACK OF ALL TRADES AND MASTER OF NONE' you sir are an exception to that rule Nice work
Jeez,the guy can even sew!
Such a pity you do not have a youngster there to be taught what you do. You have so many talents that could be passed on. If I was in your area with a working age child, I would cover their wages just to have you pass on your knowledge. Thanks for another informative video.
Thank you, Good show. God Bless
Wonderful as always
So much talent!
Great use of an old ping pong table!
Amazing talent. I would almost bet he made a 3 piece suit to wear to the wedding . This is the best of You Tube !
From delicate sewing to manhandling 1/2 ton wheels...it’s amazing to watch. What a skilled craftsman! I think I’ll have to visit the shop.
What can't he do. Awesome work sir. Looks beautiful
This series is as good as the Borax Wagons. This is a lot of enjoyment for me and my wife. She was raised on a farm in southeast Tennessee, and her family had a wagon similar to this.
Wheel right, wainwright, and upholstery? You da man!! Thank you Sir!!
That is a sweet old Singer power sewing machine. I took upholstery classes in high school. I would love to have a powerful upholstery machine as we had in school but sadly I am no longer able body enough to use them anymore. It is a joy to watch you piece together the top from so many pieces. I wouldn't have a clue where to begin. I enjoyed the work but was never very good. But then who is at that age, about 13 I think.
Once again thanks for the video.
Salve from Minas Gerais, Brasil.
I appreciate your accent 👍
Loved it Dave.
It is difficult to understand just how many different things you need to be able to do just to create/recreate a "proper" coach of any type from the ground up. Then, even taking your time, you handle almost all of it totally by yourself. You are truly one amazing craftsman, Dave. Thoroughly enjoy all of your videos and comments.
Most of these carriages were originally made by crews of specialists, I suppose. It was almost as rare then as it is now for one person to have all the skills needed, unless his primary business was repairs.
Love it when you do the tops. The work involved they are like icebergs. It was good seeing the finished wheels. Amazing skills to get them presentable again. Many thanks.
I consider myself handy in a mechanical way but you put a whole new meaning to Versatile.
What a range of skills you've developed over the years! Great repurpose of an old ping pong table. When you don't need it, just fold it up and roll it out of your way!
I love the sound of sharp cutting tools of all types, great video!!
yes very good work we feel the professional thank you for this video see you soon and good luck.
From one Dave to another.
I take my hat off to you Sir .
Great Craftsmanship .
So many different skills and equipment for one man in one shop.
Those really are a fine pair of tailor's shears. Last pair that I saw was in the 1970's
Dave, There’s nothing you can’t do‼️
A little disappointed that the table saw or a blow torch was not used to cut the cloth :-) Great skills again and a very simple explanation as to what was needed. Thank you for posting
*- Liner and Cover: So many parts and pieces. Phew! I would be lost.*
looking good take care
That makes since. Head liner first. Then the top. I discovered the spray stickem late in life. What a time saver that is.
Dave when you get home the wife has new materials for bedroom curtains 👍🏴
Watching this from start to finish I recognise that over the years a good many experience based improvements are made such as to roller bearing hubs.
Here we have a buggy made how. It would have looked long ago.
But with all that experience I can't help but wonder what a modern buggy would look like if that evolution hadn't been cut short by the automobile.
Just maybe Dave might design one and build it. It would be a 21st century buggy. But a buggy, not a Tesla, to you see what I mean?
After a less than enjoyable week, at least I know that Friday eve I'll get to watch one of these videos. This week I'm not sure it could make for the last 7 days... but it sure made the week a WHOLE LOT better. Thanks! I like 'playing with' the sewing machine and making things on occasion... but nothing like a buggy top. A stuff sack is more my speed.
Enjoyed the last one too The Original Lawnmower Man Need one of those horse drawn Grain harvesters
Covered that subject well.
I’m looking forward to see you putting together the top, Dave, keep up the great work!
Thanks for sharing. Have never seen this operation before.
Great video as always
It's always a joy to watch such a skilled artisan at work.
I still love your work your skills and your videos thank you once again, Dave...
Big "YES!" on everything you accomplish. Great sense of peace at what you do. Also, Big "Yes!" on the acoustic guitar accompaniment circa 14:30 ~ 18:00.
Thanks Dave
I could watch this talent for hours on end. Such a great craftsman.
the breadth of your skills takes my breath away would love to see the finished coach leave the workshop with a team of horses
Such a joy to watch you Mr. Engels
Man those scissors are scary sharp like my knives. Beautiful work as always good sir
I love this series of the buggy top. Your skills are many.
Nice work
Have always thought that upholstering was a useful skill for a lot of reasons. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for sharing with Dave, sure glad you showed those wheels, was wondering how they looked when completed. I know you will be glad to see those buggy’s leave the shop, we are enjoying watching them to their completion too. We sure enjoy your channel. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
The buggy last taucher.. I see the buggy very kemas halus... inilah sentuhan tangan uncle Dave... I like anything you do.. Buggy and another vechile.... Bye uncle Dave.. T. You all of your video in handmake touch
