- Hidden under the wagon box is a set of boards and cleats that are necessary in the function of this chuck wagon. These boards help prevent wear to the wagon box floor, while keeping the box in the correct position on the undercarriage. I also have to change the brake ratchet to fit correctly to accommodate the width of these wider standards on the bolsters.

Being a retired craftsman it is such a pleasure to watch another ply their craft. Thank you Dave.
That wagon is a museum quality piece of art.

Just like everyone else who grew up watching cowboy movies and seeing wagons like this, I had no idea how they were built. Our ancestors were remarkable in their trade. It amazes me how much mechanical ability and woodworking knowledge it took to build a wagon or buggy that would function properly and have a long useful life. I appreciate your videos. Your production is great.
Ya , but how did they make the wheels turn backwards like in the movies ? lol
@@Pocketfarmer1 film frame rate compared to speed wheel was turning.
@@gbwildlifeuk8269 forgive my ignorance , I had thought that when a comment ended with”LOL” , it would be understood as a joke.
@@Pocketfarmer1 well considering that "lol" can mean a multitude of things, within the circle of the grammar lacking text speakers, it seems your assumption is incorrect!
@@Pocketfarmer1 this is due to stroboscopic efect. Learn about
*- Nice details, Dave.*
*- Intelligent way to do things...but who would have thought to think of it without seeing it.*
I appreciate watching a craftsman working in his shop.
It was an honor to speak to with you the other day when my friends Dave and Julie visited you.
Nice to have them stop.
My Great Grandfather from Poland repaired Wooden Boxcars for the Erie Railroad Line and was an amazing woodworker / fabricator .
Thank you for providing an oasis of calm and rational thought in this crazy world!
The master craftsman at work again. Wonderful work. God Bless You and Mrs. Engels. Thanks YOU for allowing us to watch You at work.
Once again, today's class session was over altogether too soon and we find ourselves already waiting impatiently for next week's installment! As always, thanks for allowing us along Dave!
Never carry Grain again, but it carries the Wood Grain really nice!
Enjoyable watching you work.
Aces Dave Have a great day love from TEXAS
My Grandad who drove an old truck on a farm when he was young used to call those side extentions 'greedy boards' so they could squeeze just a bit more on what was probably an already straining load! As always another superb video!
Loving this chuckwagon series. Can’t wait for next Friday. Thanks Dave!
THANKS YOUNG MAN DAVE...ans old man Shoe🇺🇸
Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 15 Jul 22.
What a gorgeous box , beautifully done. And your junk pile has just been elevated to possibles pile , nothings junk in my shed only things I haven't found a use for yet . Once again , it's been a pleasure 👍🇬🇧
A master at his work.
Once again thanks for the video.
Didn’t realize wagon beds were rated in “bushels”
Very, very interesting series. You are really a master craftsman.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You build a fine wagon Sir!
As usual Dave, you hit it out of the park. Thanks for inviting us along for the ride.
Another great video Dave .
That is a beautiful wagon you’re making. Thanks for taking us along. John
Love the use of the mayo jar lid as a compass. I've been known to raid the dishware, pot lids and tuna cans for an arc guide. :)
Thanks Dave!
Ahh... the time honored tradition of adding side boards. I can remember more than once dad being surprised at the scale receipts I brought back... when I was 14... driving some late 1960's to early 70's trucks in the late 90's. What neither of us spoke about is how I made it across the scales before they closed. I often dropped the hammer on that last run. Now that I'm pushing 50 I look back in disbelief. But then I get the occasional interaction with a farm kid.... and I know it was right back then, and still right today.
Hi, Dave. I've enjoyed watching you and your wide range of skills. My first comment here. So nostalgic to watch you work using so many of the techniques I actually learned from watching my father growing up.
This has been a really interesting series. A little more familiar type of wagon than the big borax boxes.
Sir, I love how you bring the old back to life. The ultimate recycler in using the old parts with the new. Excellent craftsmanship!
Thank you, Dave. A couple of videos ago I asked what those uprights on the frame were. Now I know. In addition you have explained to me the mystery of "Body by Fisher" on all General Motors cars at least through 1980, and still today for all I know. Clearly 130 years ago, one trade made the "frame" and another trade made the bodies. In this chuck wagon we see the body dropped onto the frame which has the axles, wheels, steering, and power source. When wagon making changed to automobile making the automobile body was made by the Fisher Body Co. and the frame, engine, axles, and wheels were made by Oldsmobile. When I worked for General Motors in the Final Assembly Building at Oldsmobile in 1974 this was still the case. The bodies were made in a separate factory three miles away. They were trucked to Final Assembly, and hoisted to the second floor. Then, after the entire frame was assembled the body was lowered onto it. In fact the same frame could be a sedan, station wagon or a hatchback version of the same model
Thank you, always learn something and enjoy the careful attention to deal.
Hello,
I watch you very regularly from France. Because of you I have started to make models of horse-drawn carts from my region (Franche Comté, France), your explanations are very precious to me. Unfortunately, I did not learn your language at school. Your translations into French, even if imperfect, were very useful for me to understand what you were doing and especially why you were doing it. I would appreciate it if you could restore it. I am sending you this message through a translator, so it will be imperfect and I hope the meaning will not be changed too much...Whatever your decision, thank you for all your videos...
Thank you for letting us know.
Hello, I just red about your Horse-drawn Carriages you are building in a Modell-scale. That very interessting. I'm a Modell Maker of Horse drawn Carriages in Scale 1:18, too. Best wishes and good luck from Germany.
Dave uses his craftmanship to make carpentry look effortless, but I often think about the person 100 years before doing the same job but without the modern tools. I think of the builder with blacksmith drills and a brace and just a block and tackle lashed to the beams in a barn.
It's a true testament to the skills people acquire over the years.
True, but the old timers also thought they had it made compared to their dad and granddad with even fewer tools. It's not really so bad, what they didn't have for tools they made up for with brains. And they were VERY smart.
Its all in the details! As in life itself!
Thanks for sharing 👍
So refreshing to watch a master at work! Your techniques and knowledge of your craft are reflected in your finished product.
Thanks, Mr. Dave!! I'm not a great fan of wood use in airplanes.. but wood sure is a delight for many other applications! Love it!! Good stuff!!!
11:45 something I thought I would ever see a mechanic creeper and a chuck wagon in the same shot.
Patrick--I saw that and thought that maybe it was the 1823 version (12th gen?)
It's really coming together. I like what you've done so far.
It's lookin real nice!!
Never owned a horse or wagon but your videos fascinate me. Maybe it's because I come from a long line of blacksmiths. Keep them coming.
thanks for sharing blessings to you and yours ✝️ stay safe
finally! something not made outta of a god damn pallet!
Thanks Dave
Looking forward to the next installment of the Chuck Wagon series,thanks for your efforts🤗😎🤗😎
Truly shape and fashion these;
Leave no yawning gaps between;
Think not, because no man sees,
Such things will remain unseen.
In the elder days of Art,
Builders wrought with greatest care
Each minute and unseen part;
For the Gods see everywhere.
Let us do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
Make the house, where Gods may dwell,
Beautiful, entire, and clean.
From The Builders, H.W. Longfellow
thanks for sharing video
Fantastic!
Dave, it looks great my girlfriend and I enjoy every one of your videos as you explain the house and lies even if we aren't into wagons or whatever will own one the craftsmanship and the knowledge is important
❤️ Lovely!
Очень нравятся ваши видео.

Thanks for the 10 reason steam bending go wrong i tried out your tips and bent 3 bow for min. Cover wagon out of ash it turn out grate
Again thank for loan of your brains you do grate work in your shop I have learn a lot watching you thank !!!
Whatt an interesting video. I'm a fan of the Borax-Wagon and just building a Modell in Scale 1:18 for myself. It makes a lot of fun to do that. Best wishes from Germany
Great one.
Big thanks Mr. Engel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another one of your outstanding videos Dave. Really impressed on how you extended the side boards, learned something one today. Thank you for making and posting these videos
It's a small world . I sent a link to a friend of mine that is also a TH-camr Kieth Rucker . He also has a web site Vintage Machinery as you probably already know . I was sure he would be interested in your table saw . Only to find out he was aware of you and your channel but in addition to that you done some work for the Ag Museum down here in Ga that he volunteers at . Another great video thanks Donny
Guess that was Mrs. E. we saw in the background at about 1:00
The wood tapping at 12:13 reminded me of Woody Woodpecker.
The details are amazing too watch. A beautiful chuck wagon.
I am amazed at what wood and steel and a skilled craftsmen can do.
.. Cheers to you. ..
Very nice, it's turning out great. Thanks for sharing
This episode was also enjoyable to watch.
Your garage creeper really needs to be fitted with tiny wagon wheels. Excellent and enjoyable film as always, thanks!
Great video
Bravo Respekt Meister 😊👍❤️❤️
I had no clue to how much went into making wagons
The people working on them earn the name mechanic
Always Love watching your videos, thank you for sharing.
Another excellent video on making a wagon.
Once again Thanks for sharing with us :)
thankyou Mr Engals, do like thje wagon your building. good luck....
Once again, absolutely fascinating. Thank you.
Amazing skills.
Presente: Cordial Saludo; Desde. Zapopan, Jalisco, Mx. Siempre Pendiente.
Great job! About how many man hours do you typically put into a project like this?
Hi Dave, I did not realise how much work went into building a wagon like this. Perhaps it is living in UK haha. Many thanks for ALL your superb uploads teaching us some transport history and what went into making travel possible.
I love your content, I am jealous
Wow the waggen is coming along nicely 👌.
Ofcorse there is a purpose as to why there is all the parts on waggen or anything tips of mechanical or machine's.
Kind regards from London UK 🇬🇧 to all.
Please consider making a "short" video on riveting. What I really want to know is... How long do you shape the rivet with just the hammer and when do you bring in the shaping tool. 2:38 💖🌞🌵😷
Always impressed, Do notice how the boxes were so big 10 ft on the wagons back then and motorized trucks shrank down to the 8 ft standard box for so long
I have read that the sizes had to do with turning radius and street size - which led to standardizing street sizes, tunnel sizes, lane width, turn banking, parking requirements, etc.
@@robertbamford8266 uoh I'm sure alot went into bed size standards, way more than a couple of people want to comprehend
It looks fantastic!
Fantastic results.
Another day at the shop,hohum..never fail to impress..still hav to complete my bed sideboard inside runner ..glued clamped what two weeks now. lying on the ground thats the kicker..mattress still on bed frame..I'm tired..add 3 more screws..eventually..hohum..
Hiya Dave
The devil is in the detail, or something like that. Your chisel work near the end reminded me how dull mine currently are. :)
Really enjoying this series. I have an old running gear to rebuild this winter, I think I'll try to make a box like this for it. Thanks for your insights.
just hours and hours of work.
You don't need a gym subscription, you do one every day......
Why is it important to start the rivet setting with the ball side of the hammer?
Striking with the peen moves the metal from the center of the hemisphere outward in all directions
The additional capacity boards. Call 'em "Hungry Boards" here in Australia. But I've seen some doozies on utoob, in Asia etc. I mean, when do we stop putting extra boards on...?
@EngelsCoachShop love your videos. I have a quick couple of questions. Where do you get your rivets that you used in the wood wagon box? What type of paint/primer do you prefer when restoring your irons? If there are videos that answer these questions, then just point me in the right direction.
I would like to ask a question about your rivets please.
Do you use something specific for the rivet, or is it a brite nail with the tip cut off.
Thank you for your time and what you do.
I am a master wood finisher
And journeymen carpenter and
I learned some tips and tricks from you before but honestly I never knew about the rivets. I love the concept and would like to learn more about it thanks again
If you own a shovel, you (likely) own a tool with riveted construction.
@@horacerumpole6912 Yes I understand that.
I am more interested in the larger wood working projects
It's called a box rivet or truss rivet.
Im from finland and i love your vids. Friday night i stay up until 12 oklock just to see what you up to this week. Im coming to visit you. Do you have any hotels in joliet?
Yes, the Bott's Family Motel.
At about 3:00 where he's attaching the verticals the long box boards, are those long rivets he's using? They look just like regular nails, but if you've ever tried to peen over a cutoff nail like a rivet head, you know that this doesn't really work. Nails are hardened, tempered wire, not the relatively soft steel used for cold rivets.
They were rivets.
I had no idea the boxes were removed and repurposed with other boxes to the drivetrain. I wonder what they used for glue back in those days or did they ?
What is your favourite part of building a wagon? I like the metal working sections
He likes the variety.
