- Stagecoaches had their place to store you luggage while traveling, much like airliners today. Not quite as complicated however. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles is a fun journey to another time and lifestyle.

I've watched your videos for years and don't often comment but I'd just like to say that it is a privilege to see a proper old school craftsman at work
Isn’t it just? Dave’s super mellow persona helps with the watchability a lot as well.
Absolutely amazing how Dave can duplicate. He has the tools, the knowledge to use them, and the expertise of a skilled craftsman to make it look simple.
According to Dave, all you have to do is heat and beat!
Dave works red hot steel better than I can form PlayDoh😢
99% of the planet doesn't even have the hand strength to do a single days work that Dave does.
Agree. I don't think I can make 2 of *anything* look exactly alike.
Just an artist!
Nobody in the world appreciates great blacksmithing like yours. I could watch it for hours.
Accurately duplicating that clevis was nothing but pure raw talent. AMAZING!
Dave's devotion to his craft and his willingness to share his knowledge in this series of videos is priceless. These skills may have become extinct otherwise.
As always, thank you for allowing me to witness a craftsman/artist applying metal working trade. God bless you and Mrs. Engels.
Watching you work , I can understand why these wagons are around 100 years later.! Thanks for sharing!
Dave & Diane you are by far the best of Norm Abrams New Yankee Work Shop and Forged in Fire combined. Way better in that you capture the real old world functionality of the craft. I appreciate very much. Blessings Peace and Love to you both. ✌🏻❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻
Two hundred thousand subscribers is just around the corner Dave and Diane which means you have made a lot of people happy, cheers and well deserved your devoted follower tony
Dave, really enjoyed watching you forge that iron. I always wondered how such pieces were made---and now I know!
That seemed like a whole lot of work for something we buy at the hardware store for $5. But, man does it look awesome when it's handmade! There's no comparison.
Yessiree...it has to match regardless of the labor
I don't think I could make a duplicate like he did without having a dozen pieces scrapped.Just a true craftsman.
Maybe, years ago he threw of lot of them out . But no more
You make it look so easy, but I know it's not--- years of just doing it makes it look that way.
Just like an artist makes it look so great. Thank you for your masterpiece.
after watching for years I now believe you are indeed Bob Ross's long lost Coachbuilding cousin!
best wishes to you and your beautiful wife
have a great day
and thank you for improving mine!
Dave you have the most calm speaking, and clear voice. I never get tired of hearing you talk.
I am so enjoying watching the process on this wagon. I just recently found out that you built replicas of the borax I remember from my young childhood the TV shows Rawhide and Death Valley Days. I was always fascinated by those wagons. The advertiser who sponsored the shows was Twenty Mule Team Borax and they always showed the image of the two borax carts and the water cart being drawn by the 20 mules.
That's what I remember, also!
@@PendeltonWhiskey It's a great series and well worth watcching!
Here is his playlist of his Borax wagons build --> th-cam.com/play/PL3Qu3GIvx73EgVa8dYcN_e9ps2BDMO9j3.html
What a great trade.The fact that you are making a library of your craft will insure that future craftsmen can keep this trade alive.Great contribution to mankind Dave.
What can a person say that hasn’t already been said, I am just in awe! Wow what talent!
Another incredibly interesting and informative episode finished altogether too soon. As always, thanks for allowing along on this incredible journey.
The quick, confident work of the professional.
I have a lot of TH-cam videos that I watch over the week varying in subject matter but yours is at the top of the list. I am 80 years old and also a woodworker and find your talent exceptional and wish I lived closer as I would enjoy seeing your tools and work.
Interesting how many are amazed by basic joinery. Just goes to show you how correct my employer was when he said, "We're a dying breed."
I grin when someone comments on you clocking nuts. Every screw in my house - from window pulls to switchplate covers to cabinet hinges- is clocked. Take pride in your work and especially the details.
My favorite thing to do well before dawn with my coffee is to watch Dave and his mastery of so many skills! Other than feeling grossly inept. Please don’t stop!
Jack of all trades master of none.
Dave is Master of all Trades and excellently done.
You must be the world rasping champion. That whole piece is better than most bespoke cabinet furniture.
That is one expensive custom clevis for the right side ! But she's a diamond for the era ! Very strong design for the boot floor...love that type of woodwork.
The volume balance of music to the sounds of hammers and work being done is very nicely done! Makes the video flow so smoothly
The power mortising chisel is truly one of the great inventions of the Industrial Revolution. Chopping those things out by hand is a real pain.
Just fascinating the process to create matching pieces.
Folks now days don't realize what a blacksmith was worth now we just go to a big box store for our clevis,thanks for taking us down that path🤗😎🤗😎
Remaining masters in coach making are rare. Those with the will t and the capacity to rebuild historical coaches rom scratch , or even more challenging from scraps, are even rarer. But one who can explain every choice he makes in such a clear and interesting way, and who demonstrate such a skill in every step of the making is definitely unique .
The Bakery Boys robbed a stagecoach yesterday.
They came in buns glazing.😀
We will hold the door for you.
Always relaxing to watch a master craftsman at his work. Thanks.
I loved that line "We'll see what we can do." , when talking about that clevis for the rear boot. Then you
proceed to produce an exact duplicate of the clevis. Watching you do blacksmithing work is probably my favorite part of these videos.
By far and away the cleverest man on TH-cam.
Another nice it of work! Thanks for all the effort you put in recording, editing and posting this!
I was very privileged to take a woodworking class with Roy Underhill this past weekend and recommended this channel to Roy and all my classmates.
For Roy in particular, to think of putting his videos on YT with the same goals as Engle's.
A craftsman at work. What a pleasure to watch.
Great to see this craftsmanship displayed. Don't think you have to worry about being replaced by AI.
I've been watching Dave and his geranium for some years now and I'm still immensely impressed by the all round talents of this man . Wheels , carriages , geraniums , cattle , hotel , look forward to the net one . Thanks Dave . 👍🇬🇧
The very definition of blacksmith art!
Watching Dave blacksmithing always reminds me of the story of the organ tuner that charged $4000 . When the owner said you only hit it once with your hammer, why so much money? Hitting it, $1. Knowing where to hit it,$ 3999.
I so love to watch you create a part from iron. Heating it up and forming what you need. Love it
Dave I have learned so much about working with metal and hot You have made my projects so much easier, Thanks..
Great camera work! Editing was perfect to show the progression from raw stock to finished piece. Thanks for sharing!
I always enjoy the woodworking, especially watching you handle a farrier's rasp and a second cut file as well as others might handle a paring chisel. I could watch the forging of that shackle over and over and never get bored, though. That was just lovely to observe. Thanks for continuing to share.
This is a tremendously wonderful show of workmanship. Thank you.
AMAZING so as always. Every move you made my friend saw me moving my hands in the same way. That's the old ways of working. I'm an 63 year young ;-) construction and furniture maker (Bau und Möbeltischler) and also the and Iron handling who learnd in the real old ways. When i die 2 minutes later all that will be lost because the young people around my place have no interests to laern it and that gives me sometimes bad feelings.
Maestro with the hot metal...and everyhitng else, too. Beautiful work and well made video. Thank you!!
I just love watching you do your thing. I have a machine shop, much different animal, but I like the roughness yet accuracy of your forging.
Indeed. The word accuracy means different things to a blacksmith and a machinist, but the end results are both beautiful.
@@jimnelsen2064 So true.
I really enjoy watching your craftsmanship. It’s impeccable with attention to detail. Thank you!!
Man after My own heart, taught by good people to make an honest product and actually hand built. Us Craftsman will slowly die out, and really hate to say that. We need to keep up putting out the information for everyone to try. Thank you for doing what you do 🎉🎉🎉
Hi Dave,
I feel really lazy sitting here watching you do all that work HA!
I really enjoy your channel thanks for all you do!!!
Great demos on the woodworking and black smithing!!
Some serious skill to copy that forged eye/clevis!
The original smith had it easy, by comparison, making two new ones; he would not be constrained trying to match existing dimensions, could have just forged eyes on the ends of two equal length bars and folded them, copying that old one adds a lot of challenge!
Amazing and fascinating work as usual!
Always amazing, all your videos. Thanks for bringing us along Dave!
Really liked the glue on the putty knife trick for the mortises.
Even better, some use splinters of wood to smear the glue !
@@Garth2011 Even better broken Saw blades - the teeth spread out a layer just like a grouting knife.
such a pleasure watching a MASTER at work.
Another fine job of forging parts for the wagon. And your attention to detail on the luggage boot is amazing. Stay safe.
That was done with knowledge, skill and style.
EXCELLANT smithwork, your a real craftman Dave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how in this video, but especially in the last episode you can see how you're forging at pretty high temps with a bright orange glow. But the welding heat is a completely different level of brightness.
I enjoy watching you do your masterworks you all right very good blacksmith carpenter and seamstress
Every time I get to the end of your videos I’m disappointed that it’s over already.😬
Another great demonstration of how things were done before factories began producing parts. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂
gotta say i love to watch your wood working...its amazing
Great video!! The only thing I regretted was that it came to an end way too soon. Love these videos that show you working in the shop creating.
Excellent blacksmithing as always. Mud Wagon is about done
Thanks for taking me along
Wood and iron working! What a treat!
Howdy from Sacramento! I appreciate your skill and craftsmanship. Could watch you work for hours (and I sometimes do)!
I am trolley love the way you work with the iron is truly inspirational thank you for sharing with all of us.
Sure enjoy the duplicating process, easy to watch yet difficult to do….great video, and fun to watch
I hope in the future I get to see this wagon in person !
We had a fantastic woodwork teacher at school, we made blind mortise and tenon joints then cut some wedge shapes slots in them and made some wedges for them. When the joint is assembled the wedges hit the bottom of the tenon pocket and spread the tenon as it is driven in. This means you have a glued joint with a tight tenon that is spread at its lower end. Impossible to pull out. Thanks Mr Parry! Fantastic work following you for years. Learnt a lot!
Life in the countryside is calmer, more relaxed and you live in your own time, but that doesn't mean it isn't full of work.
Can’t say if that would have popular back then, but it’s definitely poplar now! Love your content, keep it coming.
Beautiful iron work and forge welding of the eyelets.
Some 53 years ago I had the pleasure of working with a master ornamental iron worker. Al Ericson he worked foe Richmond Town Restoration. They were looking to get a replacement for him, My guess they did not want to pay him what he was wealth. They brought me in as a summer high school apprentice to learn his trade as a replacement but I hade no intentions of doing that. I just thought that what he did was cool. It took me half the summer to convince him I just wanted to learn not take his job, before he started to teach me. What an artist. There should be a few gutter hooks. gate latches and 80# of reheadeding cut nails in to rose head hails that I made there. What a great time I had learning from a master.
Fantastic the way you can fabricate the way you do . I am in awe watching some of the amazing things you do . Stay safe and keep up the good videos and the fun you have working. Fred.
Not much interested in the yard work and fencing episodes. Anybody can do that, but I so enjoy watching you make your magic happen in your shop. Makes me wanna go out an by a ranch just so I have an excuse to to have a wagon that you either built or repaired. Great job, as always. Love your work. Gotta admit, I might be a little envious.
Another masterful job Dave!
Nice video.
Those Irons are called "Lyre-Shackles" in direct translation from Swedish. They are commonly used in the mooring of boats. Nowdays they are made out of stainless steel.
Truly excellent craftsmanship in so many ways! The assortment of skills are impressive as you apply them on this project. It's so good that you are documenting these elements of your trade for future generations to appreciate.
Your working with that iron looks like you know what you are doing; bravo!!
Coming along nicely Dave! Very much enjoy watching your video's!
I am impressed with the forged eye, you hit it dead on from the view I see. I would have had to run to the hardware store and try to find something that would work and then it wouldn't look at all genuine. Great work, enjoyed the video.
! buggy, 1 pair of boots. sounds right to me. excellent work
Nicely done firewelds on eye!
Another superb masterpiece of a video. I love the fact that here in the UK we still call the luggage compartment of a modern car the 'boot' whereas in the US it is known as the trunk?
Trunk, because that's what you put your belongings in. 🤠
You would have been a hell of a shop teacher
Another wonderful learning experience, thank you for sharing such a skill.
Craftsmanship on another level!
Hi Dave and Diane ☺, talboot is coming along nicely, and we'll done on forging the shackle, looks just like the original one, quite a fiddly bit of metal bashing , thanks for another interesting video mate, stay safe, best wishe's to you and Diane, Stuart and Megan UK.
I always enjoy watching your videos you’re such a good craftsman
Brilliant as always. I love seeing you working with the forge and the anvil. Wonderful! 👌👍
l really like watching👀 you work....Thanks Dave 👍
Shoe🇺🇸
Looks Great Dave.
Coming together nicely. Customer must be champing at the bit.
High quality craftsmanship Dave have a day love from TEXAS
