- I am forging the Piedmont wagon new brake irons and sawing the tapered dovetails on my 1908 Faye & Eagan table saw for the brake blocks. Thanks for watching!
I never knew there were so many different parts to the brakes of a wagon. The care you took making the brake blocks fit perfectly is why you are an artist to me and everyone I share your videos with.
Hi Dave, Shure enjoying watching you do some Blacksmith work on Wagons parts. This is the way my ancestors Grate Grandfather William Henry Forrest and Grampa John Allen Forrest and Grate Grandma Sara A,. Weir Forrest did things with the exception of Propane and Oxi Acetylene. Shure Educational, and relaxing. Thanks
Ive been a master carpenter for 33 yrs and your all round skills and the level of your craftsmanship really do amaze & impress me, carry on the great work. look forward to new episode every saturday
You're my hero Buddy!!!!
Really like all the metal work,i would have ended up with a pretzel,need to try some more,Great video
To a guy that sometimes gets confused which end of the pencil goes into the sharpener your skills are enlightening.
There's a lot more to building a wagon than people think. Nice job on the square headed bolt conversion. The wagon is coming together nicely !!
An amazing bit of knowledge and craftsmanship sir. As always, the sharing of your work to us laymen is appreciated.
You are a true master of your work. You are fabulous at editing you videos and if that was not enough your videos are a pleasure to watch because there is no loud distracting and obnoxious noise (music) in the back ground. You sir should be getting paid for your video work. Thanks for sharing!
I have to agree with you I think would enjoy my shop time more relaxing and comfortable that trying to create a good video. But then again I'm not up on the technology with making a good video, however it seems you have a knack for doing both.
This man is really great at his trade. The tools he uses are old but a ton better than the new one.
Never knew wagon brakes were so complex - very interesting to watch
Man, what a craftsman.
Truly amazing work and fantastic skills. Thanks for sharing with us Dave, had a rain day here but I sure enjoyed my time on your channel. Fred.👍👍
Yet another excellent video, an absolute pleasure to watch, thanks
Enjoyed stay safe
Good afternoon from SE Louisiana 3 Mar 21.
Thanks for sharing your hard work that you make look so easy
Enjoy all your videos
What a craftsman !!!!!!!!!!!
New lamps for old. Invisible mending, can I see some please ?.Just like watching a magician revealing how it's all done. Once again thanks for letting me share part of your working day .
Your a master of all trades!
Very addictive.
Always impressed and that fence adjustment on your table saw is jaw dropping 😉
The speed of the hand held drop hammer!
Always enjoy your videos, you make it look so easy !
It is nice to see that you turn hex head bolts into square heads. To buy premade square head bolts is so expensive.
Great job again!
Again very impressive and taken in by the technology

Great wood working and designing!

When you showed the repaired iron I thought, "that won't show under a coat of paint", but then you said, "that's not good enough!"
Great Work!
Congratulations.
fun brake job
thats a memory of dad, he calledem Brake Dogs? do not ask why but he said it many a time so i never foregot his terminolagy
Good day Mr. Engels, You sure are gifted. You made the newer parts blend right in and making square head bolts from hex head. I guess every part has to be authentic, even right down to the bolts. How long have you been making wagons? Have you ever built a stagecoach?Take care and God bless.
was a video ever posted that showed the final painting of the piedmont wagon? would love to see it all finished. thanks for the wonderful videos.
Thank you.
class
wow that's all i can say. thank you
as usual, great
Is any of the wood you use indigenous to your area or do you "import" it from the East?
I realize at one time almost every town had its own wagon builder, however have you ever run across an Owensboro wagon?
I truly appreciate your skills,

Good morning Mr. Engels. Its Ron again. Did you happen to video any work on the stagecoaches? Id sure like to see some. Take care and God bless.
Thanks
I was going ask if they still make square head bolts but that was very interesting way of making one. Can you do that with a hex nut too?
Nice !!!!
@6:32 was your placing of the rivet in the twist deliberate. It seems as though you give a lot of forethought to everything you do.
Really enjoy watching your videos. How do you size the head of the bolt after you modify it from hexagonal to square? Just file?
Very nice job there, I was starting to wonder why you were cutting the tapered dove tails in the blocks then it all cam to together in my mind: slip fit brake shoes.
I like the square headed bolt. Now how do you make the square nuts?
@00:44 you must really trust your welding! Was it mild or wrought?
do you use Borax as a flux or something else?
I'd guess Rock Auto doesn't stock these!! :-) :-)
new gloves!
