- The top of this mud wagon was totally gone! This top is the last piece of the missing puzzle pieces. From historic pictures, and past experience, we are rebuilding this stagecoach from Washington.

I look forward to your video's just like a kid at Christmas.
Fascinating stuff. I really enjoy it.
It's getting so close! Every episode, I am getting more excited to see it finished! 👍😁👍
Pushing in on 200K; well deserved when it gets there. Cheers Dave
I have loved watching you build this wagon with nothing but a few rotten timbers, rusty irons and grainy old photos to serve as your guide.
I am constantly amazed by your knowledge and ability to make accurate assumptions based on previous work and a faded picture, and also your ability to work unaided.
I love this guy! He would encourage me to do blacksmithing, but I'm way too old.
Love watching you work the puzzle! Very impressive! Beautiful work!
Yea, what Michael said!!!
I admire your craftsmanship you are the first person I followed on you tube and I still enjoy your content 3 years later ❤
The excitement to see the finished project is building. Wanting to compliment Diane on the editing. 👍👍👍
Wiley Coyote Thank You, but Dave does it not me.
Sure would like to see that coach being puller around by a fine team of horses when it is completed. Maybe a follow up later?
Thank you for sharing, Mr Engels. It is allways a pleasure to watch!
`Figuring out the puzzle one piece at a time. Very nice job you are doing Sir.
What a neat series; I had never even heard of a mud wagon before you started with a pile of broken wood and rusty iron. WOW!
Great craftsman work and you are very skilled in what you do.
Once again thanks for the video.
THANK YOU
Beautiful reproduction !! Your videos are always very interesting !!
Excellent figuring based on a photograph
Lots of decision making and experiment making to get things just right. thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
Loving this project, thanks
It's remarkable how you can configure everything from a photograph. You make the process so easy to understand. It's always a pleasure to watch you work. Stay safe.
Dave. This has been so Interesting and fascinating to watch you build the mud wagon My grandfather Far Far was a wheel right in Denmark He went by the name of Wheelwright Nielsen Thank You Sur. You are a true craftsman
Great work. Love the thought process. I would say there isn't really a right or wrong way as the fine details were left to the blacksmith to create the end product based on the function of the coach. Thanks very much for sharing.
I love watching the process you use to determine exactly where to place the hoops and irons. It demonstrates how an inch more or less and + or - 5 degrees can improve the flow of the wagon design.
I often mockup custom pieces also. It helps me build confidence that the finished work will be pleasing.
My creations have a !it of trial and error!
Thanks for taking some time to visit a few days ago. Would of enjoyed to visit a couple hours. Great work as usual.
The spatial relationships are tricky. Fascinating to watch you sort them out.
Looking sweet. Thanks!
I love watching your program. Reminds me a lot of my Dad. Union carpenter for 46 years, finish carpenter the last 15. He got me into wood working.
I, too, would like to see this mud wagon pulled by a four hitch team of horses 🐎 when it's all completed 👍. I really like how you tell how this fits together peace by peace.
Gonna be an awesome coach
This old Miles City boy sure appreciates your work and beautiful craftsmanship. Burch Ray Palmer
Have fun and we'll see you next.
This has been a fun adventure!
I'm all caught up with the coach updates... time to watch them all from the start again I guess.
thanks for teaching
Lookin' good brother, some nice progress right there. ✌🇦🇺
Excellent work at your calculations and design!!
Thanks Dave
Won't be long now. Excellent ideas Dave . Looks better all around. Thanks for sharing with us, keep up the good work and videos. Fred.
Sure enjoy watching your progress especially your Blacksmith work very good Dave.
I really am fascinated with the blacksmithing. You are really good at it.
It is good you have the ability to design and modify while building the coach.
Coming together!
Hey Diane your husband's work at inspiring others has succeeded when I went to Weaver wagon and told them I wanted to start a carriage shop and talked with everyone there and showed them some of the stuff I've done they want me to try my laser engraving to place their logo on the hubcaps of the gypsy caravan they are building
Nice!
Waiting patiently for 3:15 minutes!! I am glad you are here!!
Hi Dave, getting closer to mounting the Body on a Under Carnage, doing a little Upholstery and Canvis work and this HITCHING HORSES or MULES TO IT, LETS GO FOR A DRIVE DAVE!, YOUR GETIN ME EXCITED AMIGO!
The coach is looking better all the time!
You are an amazing craftsman. The videos of your work are wonderful; however, they don't compare to seeing it in person. I recently had a chance to stop at Laws Museum during a trip to Nevada. Seeing the Borax wagons up close and personal really is a sight to behold! I hope that I get a chance to visit your shop someday before you retire.
thank you
Lookin good.
very nice cant wait to see the finished product it has been a very interesting build
Dave I know you think this is a simple build but without your expertise and flat out knowledge it would be virtually impossible to build this beautiful showpiece and as you explain how you demise these items is almost wasted because only someone with your skills would understand, we as your fans just love to watch you work, have loved every second watching you on this build, hate to see it come to a close but life goes on, we all wish you the very best in life Dave a man that lives the way he works...
Great work again Mr Engels, thank you for showing.
I do love to see how you address the change of angle on those rear support irons.
It is probably going to be a fight and maybe even stretch out the material inside the passenger bench, because of the corners being in the iron allready.
Or you cutting of the existing curved bits and welding on some new material and start from scratch.
I am curious!
(Plumber who had to redo some bends in copper pipe once in a while, always difficult choice between fight and more new material)
Seu trabalho é de um verdadeiro artesão , poucos fazem isto mesmo ai nos " Estados Unidos " . Meus parabéns pelo lindo trabalho . 🎉🐈🇧🇷
As a lifelong woodworker and cabinet builder I know the need for some serious math skills in layout and design. This project would be a challenge to develop the plan and not waste material and time. This was a very interesting video.
¡Magnifico!
tres bonne video merci
For what we can see is all most on the home straight.
Thank you for all you do, but I particularly enjoy the iron work.
No need to thank us for watching your videos. Those of us who own various wagons and buggies appreciate you posting these videos.
I have a 1865 Studebaker wagon that’s my Chuck wagon and I have an 1870 doctors buggy and an unknown age stage wagon. One wheelwright friend of mine guessed my stage wagon was built somewhere in the 1870’s.
Bravo Respekt Meister ❤❤❤
12:29 a bit difficult to pull off, but you can use the foot of the anvil to curve that piece. I've a similar one, and always use that rounded section to form tight bends, works really nice tho you do have to reach over the anvil.
I love to stop in and say hi we usually stay at Cody then we have to wait for the Bear tooth to open
It opened Memorial Day weekend.
Your mind is like a steel trap when it comes to design and measurements. Beautiful work...and...I don't know if it was a coincidence or y'all actually saw my comment on the last video...either way, thanks for bringing back one of my favorite background tracks of yours- "Chocolate Cookie Jam"! Yes, I noticed.
It was for you.
Спасибо.
Wish he was still around to show me more. Thanks!
Nice work Dave
I love your videos! You're a true craftsman. At some point in time everyone makes a mistake. Would you care to opine on mistakes you or someone else have made?
👍👍👍
looking great
👍👍
estocraft work build it four to five times in your head estimate take good guess and bite the bullet and do it. just do it you can do it.😁🤠
Brazil presente
I have been watching you for a while and always wondered how it felt to repair or replace parts of American history?

It appears to me, when examining the photo, that the rear Irons run top to bottom, with the wood to the inside. At the top the irons curve inward and attach to the panel on the rear bow. That bracing would give lateral stability, preventing racking side-to-side at the top. It looks like there are two fasteners (bolts?) in the rear panel, left side to attach the end of the top irons ( right side of photo has a damaged/blotchy area where the other two fasteners would be, given a symmetry for mounting both irons). Maybe? I first thought these thin lines in the photo were ropes or strings, but they could be irons on edge.
🐣🤗
Hi Dave. Are you going to put the cross brace irons back in the drivers seat box? I remember seeing them earlier on. Regards.
As you mentioned previously, that seat seems wrong. It should be 6" wider at the seat and 6" higher at the back. There would of course be Cushions. To me, visually the entire seat seems 6" too high. Galvanized chain? I think not.
Amazing craftsmanship.
The galvanized chain will help prevent what happened to the first one. A cosmetic change in furtherance of durability is good in my book.
@@scottgoodman8993 true, but not historically accurate.
@1:58... Not Galvanized... But chrome Mr Baker.
Though he's not done with it yet either...
Don't be so quick to judge every little thing my man...
@@RickOshay... Chain is NOT Chromed. Hydrogen embrittlement could occur.
Don't comment on things you don't fully understand.
@Baker... Alright Mr Know It All!
😎
Remember small adjustments are part of the original builder mane the same adjustments that you are doing. Like a steam locomotive may be the same plan but no parts will enter change and I think your original craftsman’s had the same problems
😎😎😎👍👍👍cool
Just watching 1953 western called "the silver whip" and in the first few minutes is the identical wagon you are rebuilding
Dave, you must have fire-proof hands.
@6:20 It appears there is an iron hoop across the two rear top struts, possibly for structural rigidity?

Hi Diane and Dave ,you're definitely going in the right direction, what padding will you put on those seats? Thick canvas or leather?
It would typically be canva, but Dave hasn't talked to the owner about that yet.
Do you seal the wood before painting it?
He'll prime it.
John Keane ,Did those seats never have padding?
They did and will
here lil late.
From the photo, those uprights almost look like steel conduit tubing to me. I know that's not the case because they would've been in the materials and you can tell if you look closely enough, but I'm curious if any wagons were made that way? I know conduit was invented around 1900, so I'm just wondering.
Have seen solid steel round bar bows. Trail Creek Ranch, NW Wyoming
No offence, but I think the top is easily liftable (to make it possible to get hight for the passengers when embarking/dissembarking). I think the other photos advocates
that too.
Hi Dave, I'm assuming this mud wagon went out in all kinds of weather, Summer and Winter, wind, Rany and snow whatever, any thought on how they kept the US Mail and Passengers dry?
My Cowboy Hore Loving Granddad John A. Forrest June 9, 1894 - July 1976, my Mom Margaret Ruth Forrest 1926-1969 and other Family and Friends taught me as a Kid that when riding in Cold wet weather or driving they were lots of Warm wool Clothing and used lap and Back Blankets when Driving. I can see Canvis or Oil Cloth rolldown side panels. Yor Shure storing my Curositry, Thanks!
What is your table saw arbor size, I have a crescent that has a 1 1/8th inch arbor. I have a hell of a time finding blades
Are wagon/coach rebuilds ever sized up? It seems the people in the old photos are so much smaller as adults than today, and I don’t mean today’s overweight people, but the wagons look built for smaller build people
Just report that at timestamp around 14:33, I noticed your mouth was moving but no caption appeared.
Ok, my curiosity is piqued… in your shop you have a hydraulic press that you are seen hand pumping, but it has a motorized pump as well. What is the deal with that?
