The Second Boot on a Stagecoach | Engels Coach Shop

- We finished the driver's boot, but there is a second boot we need to build to carry the passenger's luggage. Everything was missing so I have to forge the hinges from scratch and determine the size this boot should be. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles is always interesting, because each vehicle has it's own history to discover.

Thank you Dave, ... watching you at the forge is better therapy for my PTSD than any of those creepy drugs my psychiatrist has me on
Same. Keeps the demons quiet.
Once again thanks for taking us along on this reseruction its getting more and more interesting each episode🤗😎🤗😎
Thanks for sharing with us Dave, got it going your way on the rear boot. Really enjoying the build. Stay safe and keep up the good work and the fun that you share with us. Fred.
I sometimes wonder if you have any idea just how peacefully a stressful week is transformed into a peaceful weekend when we have a chance to take a step back and watch the work you do. Learning, watching - and most of all relaxing, you bring your expertise to us. It's valuable, and some of that value is the reminder that craftsmanship and dedication to authenticity are a true American tradition. Thank you Dave, and thank you Diane for your editing expertise!
Thank you for the nice comment, Curt.
Thank YOU for allowing us to look over you shoulder while you reconstruct the Stagecoach. God Bless YOU and Mrs. Engels.
That explains I think why we here in the UK call the luggage area in cars the boot.
Superb job
I've started watching your videos 3 years ago and it doesn't stop to amaze me how satisfying it is to see you overcoming all the problems and getting all the little details researched.
You bring back a lot of great memories of my Dad.
Your videos make my Saturday morning. Thanks both.
Happy Mothers day Mrs. Dianne. Dave Thanks for another insightful video. I think we the viewers should start a petition to have yiu Declared a national treasure :)
Thank you.
I concur!
So interesting, educational and just plain fun to watch. Thanks Dave and Diane.
It's an absolute pleasure to watch you figure this puzzle out and make the pieces to fit.
The fireworks were good. Making the hinges for the luggage boot was very interesting to watch. Your attention to detail is amazing. Stay safe.
Watching you forge weld is awesome, get the feeling you might enjoy it too.
More pieces of the puzzle falling into place, thanks Dave.
You are lucky to have a very diverse job. No way to get bored doing repetitive things, every week is different.
Thank you for allowing me to see you makke those hinges. Pure craftsmanship!
Thanks, Dave, for the forging lesson, and for letting the old sparks fly! Impressive, Dave doesn't need a power hammer, he IS ONE!
Thank you , I enjoy watching! The dinner table is where my family would here stories of my Grandfather doing the work you are doing. My father spent time watching him as a wheelright, blacksmith and ferrier. Many memories of the things he did and I see them come to life on tour channel. Blessings from a greatfull heart! Love the slow mo weld!
Sir, I seriously love your attention to detail. I have been following you for quite a while now. Thank you.
Making those hinges looked pretty simple when it was just one. Of course I think the skill was making them look very much alike. I always enjoy watching you work through the process of solving the mysteries of this build.
All I could do is clap. But don't let it go to yer head! I'm a little taken aback on a lot of this. Thanks Dave and Dianne
Someone that knows what there doing and has a good grip on things can consistently make things that are nearly Identical.... but the experienced masters makes it look easy.....
Watch and observe 🙂
It is a job like this, where you are drawing from your years of experience where you are so valuable to your customers.
Always fun to watch that Engels variable speed power hammer in action!
My favorite is the variable volume hammer!
Thank you, Dave. Very interesting and typically (amusingly) soothing to watch and listen to. You're one of the few people for whom "having a hammer" doesn't necessarily mean that "everything looks like a nail." Cheers!
Craftsmanship and problem solving! Always amazing!!
Another great video Sir. Really enjoy watching the way you figure out how things work and go together and then make what you need. Looking forward to the next video
Incredible craftsmanship.
Good to see blacksmithing at normal speed , mate ..thanks,,, from down here in Aus..
A master craftsman at work!
Ring...ring...ring goes the Hay Budden as you form the carriage bolt into a square head. Love that sound of a very dense finel casted anvil !
I do wonder how often those nuts/bolts need to be retightened as the wagon gets used.
Thank You Sir. Looking forward to part 2 of the aft luggage
Your blacksmith skill never fails to impress!
Dave I was just about to write to you and tell you almost the same thing that Mr. Albert Einstein just said, I too suffer from PTSD from when I was in Vietnam, but while watching you with your voice is just takes me to where I want to be, all of these suitcase psychi should watch your show and learn something, for all veterans past, present and future, thanks...
Loved the slow mo effects. As always great craftsmanship
Nicely executed forge welds!
Love every step of this mud wagon's reincarnation!
I wish I knew and could do half of what you can, love watching and learning from your vast knowledge of wagons and the old hotel
Thank you for another great video. I think watching you has made my son want to do black smithing.
I have mostly been an occasional watcher until you started this build. I am still in awe how you use a pile of rotten wood, and a few pieces of rusty iron and somehow saw that coach.
Brother Dave, as always, thank you for sharing your skills with us. I always look forward to Friday afternoons. AND, good afternoon Mrs. Diane. May the good Lord bless you both! Phillip
Thank you for the explanation on why the driver's boot is hinged.
Forge welding is interesting. Maybe consider doing a feature on it some time.
Can't wait to see the stage come back to life.
I saw a wagon movie prop with a similar drivers boot made of stacked boards in the Movie Quigley Down Under, starring Tom Selleck, which I watched on TV last night.
I sure do like watching the sparks fly when you forge-weld. Very satisfying. On another note, I think it is somewhat ironic that the flux you use in the welding process most likely is borax. The same stuff the 20-mule-team wagons hauled in the old days. Seems there's a circular history in the old west.
Love your work and channel, you are the first American I have heard use the correct term ‘boot’ for storage space on a buggy or car instead of ‘trunk’ 👍
Can't wait to see the wheels on it
COOL slow mo on the flux welding. Still much work to do to finish the Mud Wagon.
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
You made it look so easy. My arms sore just watching.👍🏻
Great work. This project is certainly moving along nicely. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
More of a wonderful build !
You are so much fun to watch
What an amazing skill set and on so many levels!
Hi Dave as usual very insightful video as usual keep them coming Regards from Liverpool England
As I watch you heat, hammer & bend. It makes me think of y’all’s daughter. And wonder how she’s doing on this upcoming Mother’s Day. It would be great to see another something or nother her from her hand forging skill’s for her lovely mother. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Dave. I think that's the first good example of weld forging other than guys doing damascus. It's good to see how simple hinges were made.
Looks like you've hung up the vest until next Fall. Time to keep cool. 🥶
I very much enjoyed your forging work.
Happy little hinges 🌲🌲🌲
You were measuring the rear boot. So I ran into the spare bedroom where I have an old trunk with arched lid. Base measured 16"X 28". So it would fit nicely on the boot.
Thank for posting video 🙂🙂
Thanks Dave it's coming right along
I think it more likely the extra wide hinge pieces on the front was to allow for the one bolt to be shifted to avoid the support. It might have been weak at that point so the wainwright made it a little wider to avoid that.
Hi Dave.!! I never realized that the driver’s boot was actually a hinged boot rest for the drivers comfort. I will have to go back and watch some of the old westerns and take a closer look at some of those coaches. Thanks for taking us along on this interesting project.
Oh! You're not quitting! You're just giving the stage coach the boot...........Good!
I love when you do blacksmithing it's always extremely enjoyable. 👍👍
Coming along nicely, I never new how forge welding was made and is quite interesting.
Once again thanks for the video.
Thanks for an awesome video it is always a great Friday for Engels coachShop
Great watching the progress.
this has been such a fun project. can't wait to see the next episode. slight aside... your video editing just keeps getting better and better. It was always pretty good, but lately you've added those little extra slow motion shots that has really bumped it up to another level.
Thank Diane, I do believe she's the editor in chief and I completely agree, she does a fine job
Another interesting video, Dave. As McCoy said to Spock, Captain trusts your guesses more than some people's facts. Great job!
Hey, Dave! It's a good thing that I don't live there in Joliet; I'd be hanging around trying to help, probably just getting on the way. I love watching each and every thing that you show us, shop, farm and even the old Hotel. Keep On!
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts while working through the designs and sleuthing the answers from what was left from before. And in this case, even using some imagination to fill in the pieces that don't have their own clues. Remarkable work, well done!
Thanks for explaining why the driver's boot is hinged. That was quite a puzzle to me.
I absolutely love your videos. Your attention to details is amazing. And good enough is good enough.
Great Video - Wonderful project to watch to completion.
Nice work. Thanks for sharing.
I’m kinda surprised that boot wasn’t designed to have enough hinge clearance to fold upwards & out of the way held with the chains 🤔 love the videos, thank you
I was thinking the same thing. That way it could also be pulled tight so it doesn't constantly bounce.
Very good lear ing experience thanks.
Thanks excellent as always
Thanks Dave
Hi friends enjoyed the video have a day love from TEXAS
Very Awesome, I love your Blacksmith skills!!!
Thank You for these videos!!!
Magic.
Great work
Отличная работа.!
Good stuff!
Excellent as always.
I just love the sound of an anvil. Thanks
Buenas tardes.
Me gustan mucho sus videos y admiro su conocimiento y habilidad de sus expertas manos. Que tenga un buen fin de semana.
You are a master love watching you.
I liked the slo-mo!
comme toujours une super vidéo que j'attend avec impatience toute les semaines.
De verdad que me gustan mucho sus trabajos señor Dave que Dios los bendiga y los cuide para seguir disfrutando sus videos, saludos desde Nava Coahuila Mexico
Lots of smith work!
I just saw the video concerning how you did the Borax wagons for TH-cam and how you kind of "fell into" buggy and wagon building and repair without a bit of difficulty as to customers, even though you had to start your career from almost nothing as far as prior experience is concerned. You succeeded superbly! Congratulations!! I am going t9o ask you a crazy question: Did things related to your work, from the start, ever seem like you had "help" with important things just "falling from the sky", as it were, just when you needed them? I have an odd-ball hobby: Armor and Ordnance of the Age of Ironclads", which is unbelievably successful in my study, much of which I did all by myself over more than 35 years, also from nothing as to ever studying metallurgy. I had to "ad lib" the whole thing. My "luck" at this was beyond phenomenal, in many ways, much like a movie for Indiana Jones. Too phenomenal to my mind.
Did you have such things happen to you that assisted your success? If so, then I am beginning to believer that this world is not what we think it is...
Dave absolutely agrees. He feels that his talents were given to him by God.
Great video
Thanks 😅
