@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?
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.
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. 🙏💙
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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 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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ?
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 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
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....
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.
حقيقة أفضل شخص في التصنيع لهذه العربات خاصة العجلات من متابعين اعمالك وايضا عند إعادة الترميم أيضا عمل رائع ... وتعجبني بعض المعدات الخاصة بها .. ومتابع أيضا لعملية البخار في طي الخشب 👏👍 شكرا لك وشكرا لخبراتك في هذا المجال ... ولا انسى إنك قمت بترميم عربات القطار الأمريكية القديمة 👍👏
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
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.
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.
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
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]
It is Very Beautiful* I Congratulate you for creating great works like these Carts* I love old carts* Thousands of applause for your great talent* Thank you very much for sharing your video* A thousand blessings for all* 👏🥰 👏🥰 👏🥰 ❤❤❤
Outstanding craftsmanship once again Dave! Always a pleasure sir. With the Good Lord willin and the creeks dont raise, May we continue to be blessed with the knowledge you share. Thank you!....Bless you and yours.
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 ❤
I absolutely love your work. I never tire from watching your videos. I don't think I've ever seen such detail and perfection. Thank you for all that you do and for bringing us along. Cheers
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 !!!
Thanks Dave for this overview and summery. It has been in my opinion one of the best and most in detailed so far. As always I am throughly impressed with not only your skills, but craftsmanship.
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.
Craftsman ... woodworker, iron worker, and seamster. Incredible craftsmanship. Beautiful, well made wagon.

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
Thanks to you Mr. Engel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Out standing thanks for showing me
My great grandfather built wagons in St.Louis,I am proud of my heritage.I am a Maschmeier.
Sounds like the best owner’s manual you could ever want.
I think Wishbone would approve.
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.
@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.
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...
Once again this brought great enjoyment to watch. A craftsman is a true delight. Thank you.
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 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!
Isn't that the way Henry Ford started? You are incredibly talented. Absolutely Beautiful. Thanks
Great fun to be able to see that project come to conclusion, thanks for posting.
YOU are a man to be envied for keeping old traditions alive THANK YOU.
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.
Coming to PBS, This Old Wagon.......... They would be so lucky. :bow:
A true piece of art and american history!

Thank you for all you show and share. I truly love watching you work.
I'm a retired ironworker and love watching these kinds of videos to get ideas and inspiration. Thank you
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.
Brilliant craftmanship to be viewed and enjoyed , but a visual demonstration on how to make or repair these creations for the future , thank you .
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.

A study in craftmanship and perfection, thank you so much kind Sir
Great video, and the Bonus that each project gets a copy of the video beginning to end , Thanks for having us along
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.
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 ?

Back in the day, I am sure who ever gazed upon this beautifully constructed Chuck Wagon would have soiled themselves. Amazing functional art. :)
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.

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.
Great talent my friend!! I’m sure, in the old days it was built by multiple professionals, each with his specialty.
Thanks for sharing!!
I hope the new owner appreciates the piece of art he now has.
I often come back to this channel, and am never disappointed. Beautiful work, history being preserved....just incredible!!
As an Spanish, me quito el sombrero.
It couldn't be closer to the original.
