Undoubtedly, but, definitely, the Master Craftsman,always, mentally & physically, demonstrated the essential ingredients of perfect design, and precision workmanship.
I haven't been in a wood shop for decades. This is so real, about two thirds of the way through I realised I can smell the wood being worked. I know it's in my mind, but I'm sniffing the air with my nose to get a better smell of it.
In many a mill there is a ripsaw operator, and a ripsaw tail. Greetings to Dave the ripsaw operator. And greetings to the ripsaw tail also played by Dave. Nice camera work too. Thanks Dave and to Dianne and all
In my years as a tool and die maker, I've had my share of "broken part prints". It is what separates the novices from the craftsmen. I am looking forward to many hours of viewing pleasure next year.
Some assembly required... a perfect statement for the Christmas season. MERRY Christmas to you and your Family. And thank you so much for giving us the enjoyment of watching a true craftsman at work. Take care and I look foward to the next installment of "Some Assembly Required"
I like the way that the wagon parts flow out of his pencil! He could make fine furniture with His chainsaw, horse shoe rasp, hacksaw, sand paper and a grinder with a flap disc,and his mallet and chisels.
MR. ENGELS, I have so enjoyed watching you build all the various projects this year and I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas to all And may we all have a Happier and Healthier New Year. I do enjoy watching you work through the process, Thanks for sharing. Do you have any difficulties sourcing materials? I imagine your lumber costs outweigh your steel costs. Aren't you folks due a vacation.
Not a wasted movement. You are a pleasure to watch.not sure what people expected to find when the sent you these "templates" though. You must need to be an artist to see the finished product.
Pretty sure that he could, but the flip side is that a lot of those old wagons were not standard. Each builder came up with there own solutions to issues. I think that we are keeping those various solutions by copying is a great way to preserve the history. Edit: Merry Christmas to you and your family too Gene
Yes, Peter, I believe many of those craftsmen did not work in a production shop, and their approach to building carriages was more like that of building houses than building machines, so no two were identical. As long as they worked and looked good, it didn't matter if they were a little different. The larger shops of course had their cookie-cutter jigs and patterns, and they had established designs and customer expectations to meet, so there was a lot less variation and room for "personal expression".
You are amazing Dave, not only are you a master craftsman but the way you measure up a decayed wooden bolster and then disappear, for just a few moments then reappear with a clean pre milled piece of ash just the right size for a blank. Wow, you must have a storage room full of ash?
Your many years of experience sure shows through in this video! A real old world craftsman at work in these "modern" times. Thanks for sharing, and Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, I would like to say I enjoy your videos and have learned so many things about wagons and buggies. I don’t think there is much that you don’t know about how to make them like new again. I have been in love with buggies since I was twelve years old and went to visit a cousin of mine and found out that she had a buggy in her living room and that it could still be pulled by a horse if she wanted it to. So I am so glad that I found your channel because it has been so enlightening.
Mr. Engels, (i hope i spelled your name right), you showed how you make new out of old material. I love watching you work your magic. I wonder , though, why some parts are bent certain ways or are off center etc. I understand a little about camber and caster but I don’t know why the patterns you are working on on your Christmas Eve show aren’t straight but have a curve. It is prolly cuz it is something you take for granted. Once years ago I signed up for a bear hunt in Idaho. I knew that I knew nothing about horses which were essential for access to the hunting area. I found a man who was a real cowboy here in Georgia. I asked him to teach me what I needed to know to take on a pack in hunt in the mountains on a horse. He taught me a lot. Considering how little I knew then or now that is not surprising. What remarkable to me is that he was able to train me at my level which was zero. He had to go back to a way earlier time when was learning how to ride and handle horses. He taught me basic skills though he was a master trainer of cutting horses. Some people forget the time when they didn’t know and it’s hard for them to go back there. I see you doing the same thing in your craft- that is going back to the basics.
It is amazing that you can take a junky old piece of wood and be able to extract the correct dimensions for the new piece. I have yet to see the end of your talents, skills, and abilities. If I bring you a steering wheel, can you build me a new car?
Now the year is closing I wish to express my sincere gratitude for all the wonderful videos you offered to the world. Not only are you a very talented craftsman, but you are also a very good cameraman and editor. You make your videos with a didactical purpose, to preserve your age old trade for future generations. Being a former teacher myself, I appreciate your work deeply. Merry Christmas, to you and Diane, and may the new year bring you everything you both desire.
Thanks for the video, Dave. Always educational and pleasant to watch. I wrote Santa a letter and told him I want a pencil like the one you use at 11:36. That is slick!
Gotta tell ya Dave, if your sander ever goes missing in the middle of the night, you'll probably find it in my shop 1,275 miles away. I am so jealous of that machine.
Thanks for sharing with us Dave, you do excellent work in making patters from very little that's left for you. Keep up the good work and videos. Happy New Year to you all. Fred
Keen eye..practised hand...observing all nuances and designed intent...forensic and reconstructive carpenter, and engineering the result with amazing precision..!! Your thru drill accuracy -- WIZARDRY STILL THRILLS...LOL.
Another enjoyable and in many ways a tutorial. I always spot something you do that sticks in my mind to pigeon hole for my own use. Thanks for taking the time and making it for us to learn and to enjoy. Merry Christmas Dave. to you and your wife and family. Tomorrow we give out Blessings for his birth and the blessings he gives to us All God Bless. ECF.
Clearly rebuilding a farm wagon undercarriage from one that is so far gone is not without its challenges. Knowledge of what the parts are supposed to look like certainly aids in the recreation of the pieces. Amazing work Dave. Merry Christmas to you.
As always awesome wood skills. I did not enjoy this year to much but watching your channel takes a little stress out for a little wile. Merry Christmas to you and your awesome family Mr. Engels
Thanks for enlightening me on the ways of the old wagon makers. I find it emensly entertaining and a wonderful learning experience. Merry Christmas to you and yours sir.

50% pattern 50% ingenuity 100% craftsmanship
Yuletide Greetings Dave, Dianne and Family.

That transition from solid to cut on the new sand board at 11:30... Just perfect!
I like the way that the wagon parts flow out of his pencil! He could make fine furniture with His chainsaw, horse shoe rasp, hacksaw, sand paper and a grinder with a flap disc,and his mallet and chisels.
This channel never gets old for me. I wait for the next.
MR. ENGELS, I have so enjoyed watching you build all the various projects this year and I would like to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I think sometimes Dave does magic .
I quite enjoy these rebuilding archeology videos.
Thanks for posting. It must take a lot of effort to film, edit, and post. We and history are indebted to you.
Thank you for creating this archive, it's a national treasure
11:30, that was a This Old Tony cut, made me smile.
I never heard This Old Tony cut before. Guessing there is an interesting anecdote for it. I did find a neat element. That must be some sharp pencil.
I prefer when you do the voice overs. I have learned a lot from you.
Another relaxing Saturday show :-)
And thanks for having us! Merry Christmas Dave and family.
Thank you Dave for the gift of your time, patience and knowledge
Merry Christmas to all
And may we all have a Happier and Healthier New Year.
I do enjoy watching you work through the process, Thanks for sharing.
Do you have any difficulties sourcing materials?
I imagine your lumber costs outweigh your steel costs.
Aren't you folks due a vacation.
Just a little Christmas note to remind you just how much I and many others enjoy your work. Many Christmas blessings to you and all.
Not a wasted movement. You are a pleasure to watch.not sure what people expected to find when the sent you these "templates" though. You must need to be an artist to see the finished product.
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR 2022. TO YOU AND FAMILY AND EVERYONE ON EARTH,
You are truly a master craftsmen and I love watching your videos, Mike from WASHINGTON state
Merry Christmas to you and family!
Merry Christmas and I hope to continue watching for many years to come.
Have a great Merry Christmas.
I think that you could build a complete wagon from memory with out any pattern. Merry Christmas to you and you family.
Pretty sure that he could, but the flip side is that a lot of those old wagons were not standard.
Each builder came up with there own solutions to issues. I think that we are keeping those various solutions by copying is a great way to preserve the history.
Edit: Merry Christmas to you and your family too Gene

Merry Christmas Dave n Dianne
Always fascinating to watch you work - perhaps a video on were and how you prepare the large pieces of wood you use. Thank You !
What I enjoy about this channel is I learn these little tips on how to do certain things that I get to put into my mental toolbox.
You are amazing Dave, not only are you a master craftsman but the way you measure up a decayed wooden bolster and then disappear, for just a few moments then reappear with a clean pre milled piece of ash just the right size for a blank. Wow, you must have a storage room full of ash?
You would think someone like this would have the sense to not wear jean shirts with jean pants. He is kind of making a fool of himself.
F M what is your problem?
@@edricoddot I just feel bad for the guy. I am thinking he is on the LGBTQ spectrum. I will feel pretty bad of that is the case.
Well, I can bet he's not.
Хорошо, что есть люди, которым это нужно!...
A Merry Christmas to Dave, Rick, and family.
11:25 I REALLY have to get me one of those magic pencils! LOL
Clean cut every time 🙂 !
A Master Craftman for sure, Take care, See Ya ,Texas
Merry Christmas, Dave and everyone else
Merry Christmas 🎄
Disk grinder with a flap wheel is a serious wood-moving tool!
MERRY CHRISTMAS !

When the woods in that state there's a big advantage to knowing what shape you're looking for.
Thanks for the video, Dave. Always educational and pleasant to watch. I wrote Santa a letter and told him I want a pencil like the one you use at 11:36. That is slick!
Merry Christmas David and Dianne. Thanks for the excellent video.
