@Quickquiver These projects are to demonstrate how a wagon was fabricated and assembled decades ago. Have you been in his shop and observed his work close up? I have, you are wrong. Oh, did you know latex paint was developed in the early 1940’s?
@Quickquiver Ford generation? It did not exist those times. His work is fantastic. However, I would appreciate to see your works. Can you deliver the link?
I am not trying to compare myself to Mr. Engles, just trying to show a little of my back round. I was a Union Sheet Metal helper in 1962, and over the next 5 years I went to night school for sheet metal and I became a mechanic and welder. Over the years I honed my skills and finished my career in 2006 as a Designer, fabricator, sketcher and superintendent for what was one of the largest sheet metal companies in N.J. at that time. When I retired I started working with wood and love it. I say all this so that I can speak from a position of knowledge when I say that I am very impressed with Mr. Engles skills. I love his videos, thank you so much.
You revived a modern profession that was forgotten for about a century in a very professional and artistic way. Thank you and respect to you, dear teacher. 🙏💙
A reminder of just how much work goes into these projects. I watch each week, but lose track of how many steps have been involved by the time the project is complete. Going back through it all, at one time, reminds me.
At 77, I'm not very likely to go into the carriage trade, but for some reason I really enjoy watching these projects come together. Keep up the good work.
I could watch endlessly how old things are transformed and reborn in your magical hands. Sometimes I really regret that the videos are so short. Thanks Dave!
Mr. Engals, You are without a doubt a true craftsman in every sense of the word. I truly believe you have a great passion for the craft you do. I've heard you say it took several years of trials to get each one right. I am amazed at the way you seem to move thru the cut, glue. Drill. Align, stain, make new wood look old and the assembly. There isn't a car manufacture that can make cars with better seams and fittings. God Bless you my friend. You inspire me with my project. My 1860 Newton which I lovingly refer to as FIGGY. Thank you for all you show and share. I truly love watching you work.
An absolutely beautiful job of American workmanship anybody could ever want. True skills and dedication to workmanship that is always inspiring, but condensed like this you can really see the crafts and disciplines involved.
This man is extremely talented and the all encompassing knowledge to go with it. I'd rather have one of these rather than 10,000 lawyers or politicians.
OMG What a true craftsman Thank you for sharing Like how you used flat head screws versus Phillips head screws to make it more original and did all black smith work and canvas cover
Lucky rancher gets the chuck wagon ! All nice, new, functional and personalized for trail travels. Lucky mules or horses will be privelidged. Great creation Dave...
You sir are a total joy to watch. This is awesome , I came back to this and watched it over and over . I'm 73 years young and enjoy woodworking and this would be the ultimate, thanks so much for sharing . Don't slow down . Can you build a stagecoach sometime ?
I moan when the odd time that I watch normal TV all I get are repeats or reruns but that is never the case with you. I enjoyed this just as much as I did the first time. In fact maybe a bit more as I was just enjoying the action instead of trying to mentally digest all the facts and figures. So dare I ask... as Oliver said "can I have some more please". Thanks for posting
Always enjoy seeing a skilled craftsman at work! Far too often, those who profess to be fall short, cut corners, and otherwise fudge on their projects.
Glad you showed that, Mr Engels, put the whole build into perspective and what a great artisan you are, in so many ways. TH-cam gold standard right there. Thankyou.
PHENOMENAL ! True American craftsmanship, quality all the way. An object all can be very proud of, builder, owner, and viewer. Kudos, what could be more American.
A job well done, thank you. If I might suggest, an interesting addition to the videos might be a clock or calendar of days showing the hours, days weeks and months these projects absorb so that people can appreciate that your time is precious and it doesn’t take a few hours to collect the materials, rework and kit up the parts and pieces before the fastidious assembly even begins. I for one appreciate the archive of your knowledge that you have created. Take care.
Folks who say they don’t make ‘em like that anymore, never met you! I’d like to see it again in 20 years, well taken care of but with all the patina that age and use can put on it. Great entertainment and great job.
Just maybe even better the second time watching this project build. When I watch your videos your attention to detail and expertise you give the feeling you are making all of us one of these wagons. I would certainly be honored to own any one of your projects. Hope the receivers of this wagon appreciate the fine work as much as your viewers.
I'll tell you, that kind of ability only comes from repetition. To make it look so easy, there had to be a couple done before this one. I very much enjoy watching that kind of craftmanship.
The best of craftsmen are not immune to smashed fingers! Absolutely beautiful!!! I wish I could find wood of that quality down in my part of the country. As high as prices are with horseless carriages now days, a covered wagon sounds better by the day. Don't think the wife would like the bumpy ride and open air for air conditioning. Winters would be tough! Hay burners and vet bills maybe the decision point going this route. As always thanks for sharing. Ken
Awesome video Dave, they will be proud to see how you brought the parts and pieces back to life to make an original Chuck Wagon Box their ancestors used. It turned out so great and your work and fabrication was the sign of a real Craftsman. You brought back history to our times. Thank you all for what you are accomplishing for OUR COUNTRY HERITIGE . Fred.
A very multi talented craftsman. We just hope that he has children or grandchildren who can continue what he has started and developed into beautiful historical pieces of art.
Thank you for another wonderful video . I truly appreciate watching a master craftsman at work the chuck wagon is an object of buity . Every time I watch your videos I learn things that help me in my wood working hobbies. Thank you Dan
I love making repairs adding new this or that to my 1860 Newton Wagon. The chuck box supposedly built in 1867. It gives me great pleasure to teach of our Heritage and to show how life on a cattle drive was..there is much more than head em up and movem out....
Impressive. My mind kept imagining the various steps to complete the wagon to the days before electricity and power tools. How hard life must have been for those folks and the contributions they made to our present societies. Thinking on that, I sometimes wonder if the world is really better off now. Having been a cook in my past years I thought about the ones that cooked the food to feed the people on trail drives and was reminded of western bound wagon trains and the likes in movies and TV shows. Great video and work on that Chuck Wagon. Many talents in one.
From watching you over the years you are in my opinion that you sir are the best deffenition of a Master Craftsman. I have enjoyed watching you all these years and never miss a single video ❤
You are a master of craftsmanship in all departments, it's great to see your work done to detail, would love to learn more about your experience in work, Michael Ireland [Eire]
Dear Mr. Engels I love watching your programs and your workmanship the things that you can accomplish with your hands it will be a sad sad day when you are gone from this earth but we will miss your craftsmanship and your knowledge which will be taken with you and the sad thing is there’s no one to hand it to to continue with us work very few do this now but thank you for bringing us this program but I deeply appreciate your craftsmanship and everything you were able to do I wish I was 1/10 the man you are in your abilities God bless sir God bless and take care I hope you continue for many many years to come
As truly amazing as this is, it highlights how incredible it was to do this without the benefit of modern tools. You sir are still a craftsman none the less and it was a joy to watch.
Watched the full series but had to watch this again too, it's just too good to pass up on. She's gorgeous! It's so much fun to see you do all this incredible and beautiful work, thank you for taking the time to take us with you on the journey. The owner must be over the moon with his chuck wagon.
I am so glad when we were out there I got to see this wagon in person as I was watching it be made on utube from NC Tim Stevens enjoyed meeting you guys !!!
Craftsman ... woodworker, iron worker, and seamster. Incredible craftsmanship. Beautiful, well made wagon.
@Quickquiver These projects are to demonstrate how a wagon was fabricated and assembled decades ago. Have you been in his shop and observed his work close up? I have, you are wrong. Oh, did you know latex paint was developed in the early 1940’s?

Exactly what I was thinking... Extremely great workmanship and skills to have

All the steps get overwelming, I agree, but to see the finised rig is great
At 77, I'm not very likely to go into the carriage trade, but for some reason I really enjoy watching these projects come together. Keep up the good work.
Out standing thanks for showing me
Sounds like the best owner’s manual you could ever want.
I could watch endlessly how old things are transformed and reborn in your magical hands. Sometimes I really regret that the videos are so short. Thanks Dave!
My great grandfather built wagons in St.Louis,I am proud of my heritage.I am a Maschmeier.
I'm a retired ironworker and love watching these kinds of videos to get ideas and inspiration. Thank you

@Quickquiver You woke up on the wrong side of somebody's bed. Go away. Even sarcasm taints this channel.
@Quickquiver Oh, you're one of those guys. I wish whoever it was didn't turn over your rock.
This man is extremely talented and the all encompassing knowledge to go with it. I'd rather have one of these rather than 10,000 lawyers or politicians.

Sir you are truly a master craftsman. I enjoyed the attention to detail.
YOU are a man to be envied for keeping old traditions alive THANK YOU.
A study in craftmanship and perfection, thank you so much kind Sir
Once again this brought great enjoyment to watch. A craftsman is a true delight. Thank you.
Isn't that the way Henry Ford started? You are incredibly talented. Absolutely Beautiful. Thanks
You sir are a total joy to watch. This is awesome , I came back to this and watched it over and over . I'm 73 years young and enjoy woodworking and this would be the ultimate, thanks so much for sharing . Don't slow down . Can you build a stagecoach sometime ?
What a masterpiece. Sir, you know your business.
I moan when the odd time that I watch normal TV all I get are repeats or reruns but that is never the case with you.
I enjoyed this just as much as I did the first time. In fact maybe a bit more as I was just enjoying the action instead of trying to mentally digest all the facts and figures. So dare I ask... as Oliver said "can I have some more please". Thanks for posting
Footplate 0--I love how you twisted that around. :)
Great job you have done a fantastic reconstruction on that chuck wagon nice
Great video, and the Bonus that each project gets a copy of the video beginning to end , Thanks for having us along
Always enjoy seeing a skilled craftsman at work! Far too often, those who profess to be fall short, cut corners, and otherwise fudge on their projects.
Would love to apprentice at this shop. This is amazing.
Brilliant craftmanship to be viewed and enjoyed , but a visual demonstration on how to make or repair these creations for the future , thank you .
Thanks to you Mr. Engel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you showed that, Mr Engels, put the whole build into perspective and what a great artisan you are, in so many ways. TH-cam gold standard right there. Thankyou.
A true piece of art and american history!
Your a skilled wood & iron worker. Wishbone would love this chuck wagon.
Sure would like to see this chuck wagon in use at its new home. Great following this restoration, amazing project and craftsmanship!
PHENOMENAL ! True American craftsmanship, quality all the way. An object all can be very proud of, builder, owner, and viewer. Kudos, what could be more American.
A job well done, thank you.

An excellent reminder of a great project, and the skills that brought it to fruition. Thank you, Dave and Diane, for sharing it with us.
Folks who say they don’t make ‘em like that anymore, never met you! I’d like to see it again in 20 years, well taken care of but with all the patina that age and use can put on it. Great entertainment and great job.
Very cool build. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do on your older videos. Thanks!
Just maybe even better the second time watching this project build. When I watch your videos your attention to detail and expertise you give the feeling you are making all of us one of these wagons. I would certainly be honored to own any one of your projects. Hope the receivers of this wagon appreciate the fine work as much as your viewers.
Videos like this just reinforce what an incredible craftsman you are. As always, thanks for allowing usa along on this wonderful journey of yours.
Making it look easy one of the trademarks of a craftsman.
I'll tell you, that kind of ability only comes from repetition.
To make it look so easy, there had to be a couple done before this one.
I very much enjoy watching that kind of craftmanship.

I am your follower sir your method is different from others. I loved it. Thank you
I hope the new owner appreciates the piece of art he now has.
Great craftsmanship in woodworking, iron work and seamster.
Awesome video Dave, they will be proud to see how you brought the parts and pieces back to life to make an original Chuck Wagon Box their ancestors used.

What a wonderful summary of the chuck wagon box assembly to the finial
I don’t know who you are but your craftsmanship is pleasing
As an Spanish, me quito el sombrero.
It couldn't be closer to the original.
Maestro.
A very multi talented craftsman. We just hope that he has children or grandchildren who can continue what he has started and developed into beautiful historical pieces of art.
I often come back to this channel, and am never disappointed. Beautiful work, history being preserved....just incredible!!
