Yellowstone Park Stage Coach & The Devil's Tongue | Engels Coach Shop

[@EmilyGOODEN0UGH]

Thank you for opting to teach us, instead of trying to just impress us. We are impressed enough already.

[@mariomarchigiano528]

I love your workmanship and craftsmanship. Thank you for all the videos. I enjoy them and thank you for bringing back all these wagons. I would like to meet you and visit your workshop one day. Thank you

[@glencrandall7051]

As others, I am amazed at your knowledge of over 100 year old technology. Plus your superior workmanship and attention to detail. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@BarryOlson-g4t]

Each video I watch just amazes me with the craftsmanship and history contained within.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Love the history lessons that you share along with your incredible knowledge, skills and abilities on coach building. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@BillOwens-vt2wi]

There are a lot of parts its a nice build it will look great when complete. Interesting how well engineered they were in those days. Thanks for taking us along.

[@thomasbraeking6225]

I imagine a lot of the bits and pieces of iron, like the two short braces Dave couldn't put in until the rest was in place, have a tragic OSHA-like story behind them. Some of the other irons were a compromise of iron's weight/cost against the bulk of wood for the same strength. Definitely an interesting/captivating puzzle!

[@simon-d-m]

I was thinking a week or two back, "why not just weld on pieces of allthread?" Now I realise that you would lose your thickness reference. You are a clever man, Mr. Engel!

[@richardthornhill4630]

Interesting ... "the Devil's tongue." Guess, it's good to always be learning.

[@gregorythomas333]

It's really cool how the builders incorporated a safety device into the design to help keep people from getting hurt or killed in case of a failure :) My mom has 3 Devil's Tongue bushes in her front yard...the only ones in the entire state!

[@JAdams-jx5ek]

I'm learning. Thank you for teaching.

[@donwilliams3626]

Thanks for the explanation about the length of the bolts signifying the correct width of the wooden pieces.

[@tomwhelan9872]

Great vid Dave. I'm amazed you can reconstruct those wagons. The guys who designed them were geniuses. Necessity , mother of invention. That kind of thing. Thanks again

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Good lesson on reading the iron to fine tune the wood to optimal shape👌

[@pambrewer9082]

Thank you for explaining the devil's tongue..better than Goggle.

[@enosbyler664]

Always enjoy your talents and explanations,as to why !

[@brucemeller2794]

Love these videos. You are the consummate master, Dave. I could think of ten easier ways to fix the braces than taking the thorough brace off again. It’s your care and integrity I like so much. Probably relates to the well-worn black book that shows up from time to time. 🙏👌

[@steveaustin4118]

look forward to not only another video but plenty more I enjoy them so much

[@paulsimmons9579]

Your accuracy drilling a plumb/level hole is unmatched! Thanks for taking us along.

[@davidanderson2915]

Thank you very much Dave. I learn something new from each one of your videos

[@daniellarrivee-ic3lg]

Thanks to you Mr. and Ms. Engel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheErnobo]

I'm always amazed at the quality of the wood you have.

[@billmillar7234]

My favorite Friday evening......thank you,Dave

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting Dave

[@johnbuchholz313]

Hi Dave, Glad you explained the “devil’s tongue”. Interesting to see that years ago, they recognized a danger in operating the stage and came up with a solution. Thanks for the video.

[@kearnsey64]

After a long and cold week outside, these videos warm my soul!

[@markg1882]

Love watching your videos. Can you tell us more about how long it took to make these wagons and how many people were involved in the manufacture and painting. Thanks

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Really enjoyed today's video Dave, Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe up there and keep up the great work and videos. Fred and family.

[@mfreund15448]

Happy Friday Dave and Diane!!

[@UncleMelB]

Your videos make for a great Friday Night! Thanks for posting.

[@oldspokes]

I have never seen or heard of a devils tongue until now.

[@cotton-Dave]

I married one in 1968. Cut it off in 1968. And a wonderful life I have had. :)

[@davidchisham]

Great video. Thanks Dave and Diane.

[@brownmilligan1936]

my brother sent me a link to a video he saw of your table saw. he was shocked when l told him i had seen your saw. thanks for your time. a watch them all.

[@curtisanderson1830]

I love watching your videos, I will some day replay all your videos.

[@jpkalishek4586]

Getting Quality TV production vibes from this. Lighting, quality/clarity (actually better than a lot of TV even at HD levels) and sound. It all seems so spot on.

[@Odin029]

Going to the internet and typing in something like 'devil's tongue' is really brave. Lots of stuff on the internet that you can't unsee

[@TheBest-ob1kj]

❤love watching your videos tks for teaching us as you go, and for taking us along ❤

[@rogerdeane3608]

Thank you David.

[@Ham68229]

I'm not a wheelwright but, as a retired farmer, I'm very familiar with the term "devils tongue". There are many horse drawn equipment that use it. If my memory serves me correctly, there used to be many stories about how often it's the "devil's tongue" that has kept "things" together until it made it's way to a black smith. As always, another great video, thank you for sharing, cheers :)

[@johnbarker6703]

I think the Devils Tongue is also there to stop over steering, commonly known as jack knife.

[@billschmitzer9159]

There’s a lot to carriages, thank you for explaining.

[@SST11B]

Every time you cut a carriage bolt, i ducked😂

[@KubotaManDan]

When I read "The Devil's Tongue" I thought it was about the tariffs on Canada & Mexico starting tomorrow. Sure glad this was about your wagon!

[@amateurshooter6054]

Thanks Dave

[@pauldrowns7270]

I especially enjoy you sharing your thoughts as you work. I'd also like to know about the files and farriers rasp you use.

[@Lee-qp6gf]

I wonder how much such a wagon would cost back in that day and how much that would be in today's money. We have to think these were the bus of their day.

[@danielortigosaaraiz5139]

Viendo trabajos de mucha paciencia lo que me falta paciencia para hacer cosas para uno mismo , ya que es trabajo es otro mundo de todo me toco mas malo que bueno con sus trabajos de paciencias.

[@edmcelhone4501]

again nice work u good teacher

[@fredhogaboom9147]

Thanks to you "devils tongue" is explained om You Tube!

[@FRG-my3qf]

Mr Dave, I can’t imagine how the simple nuts would stay in place with all the rattling these coaches would be subjected to. You are not even using loctite!!! How are the irons not falling off after extensive use?

[@thomasbraeking6225]

Dave usually peins the exposed bolt end after cutting to length. Better than Loc-Tite! 👍

[@beulahalestick8297]

Typed Devils Tongue stage coach into duck duck go, Mr. Engels video pops up first.

[@shrumittofarmer439]

Nice Dave!!

[@ron827]

Details, details, details!

[@WarblesOnALot]

G'day Dave, Great stuff ! I'd never heard of the "Devil's Tongue"... But I'm wondering what Parable the term was originally referencing...; and it's good to see that the Olde-Timey Wheelwrights were building along Fail-Safe Design principles, with a Leather Strap as a Backup in case the 5th Wheel Pivot breaks - and a Steel "Last-Ditch" Hook to engage and capture a breakaway Front Axle Assembly, slightly before it actually departs from the Coach. As I heard it, the term for something which searching Google yields no result is a "Google-Whack".. And, if subsequent searches then Only show the previous Search ... ; then that's what they call a "Google-Whack-Blat..." (!). Very "creative" are the Computer-Heads, Apparently. So they do say, as they Tell themselves that Same old same old story, Fine-tuned to taste ever better In their own Ears, Every single time they Rehash it...(!). Apparently the market is currently Booming, in the field of CyberTulip-Bulbs...; but I dunno what they're actually supposed to be "good" for, Beyond being obviously very efficient at illustrating how easily a Fool and their Money may be parted, by a shiny smooth Sales-Pitch (!). Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao ! Such is life,

[@SteveBrecht]

2 minutes since it was posted, already 53 upvotes. Dave and Dianne, we really look forward to the new video launches! Have a great weekend.

[@demonknight7965]

Im hour late. But immediately liked video

[@TheWrena440]

cool!

[@johnthomasriley2741]

I have been taught that 4 threads showing for maximum strength. 🎉

[@Hertog_von_Berkshire]

Thanks as always for the video. I'm in for a 2nd viewing so I can better understand the purpose of each member and the forces they transmit. Stand by, I may ask for a diagram. 😁

[@almaxie342]

Hi Dave, Can you please tell us what kinds of wood you are working with on these projects? Thanks

[@sopcopotoptop]

I'll ask you Dave. With most square nuts you'll have a concave side and convex side. One side seems to have a bit of a crown. Intuition tells me that the crowned or domed side would be up but in many antique items I have worked on over the years I do occasionally find originally placed nuts with the domed side down against the item being fastened down. Maybe something like 10 to 25 percent of the time while the majority are crown up away from the fastened item. Does it really matter? When I re-assemble such items I usually turn the nut with the crown up. Always wondered that and I figured you may have some insight on this. Thank you for entertaining my silly question.

[@paulgar8]

What wood are you using? Also, could you add ball caps to the store? Thank You!

[@milt7348]

Stay safe.

[@jimlong527]

My question Dave , I am sure there is no inspection but with no lock washers does the owner need to tighten bolts often?

[@glencrandall7051]

Dave cuts off the bolts with bolt cutters after tightening and then peens the bolt ends over the nuts. That should keep the nuts tight.🙂🙂

[@jimlong527]

@ thanks Glen I see Dave do that but was unsure it was enough on those old dirt trails, thank again.

[@bdradley1]

If Im not mistaken I believe this is the one you said you were going to sell or maybe its the next one? Either way I also believe I remember several videos back that you said you were going to have approx 900 man hours in it? What is going to be a ballpark figure on sales price with that much labor? I would love for my Percherons or Belgians to pull such a piece! Thx

[@cratecruncher4974]

Commercial tractor trailer rigs still use the terms fifth wheel and kingpin. The kingpin is so strong in modern time that 15000 pound tractors can hang from them in mid-air. So, not much need for devil's tongue in the current jargon.

[@JF-fx2qv]

No “mistake,” just part of the process.

[@orvillevoyles9451]

Dave can you share how many shop hrs it takes to make a n episode

[@BarryRudge]

I like to see you are using slotted screws and not tempted to use modern Philips type. All the more for authenticity.

[@waynespyker5731]

I noted he used square nuts several weeks ago, wonder if they were manufactured in his shop?

[@frank64409]

Dave, at today's prices, isn't the cost of the leather going to be more than the cost of the wood that is required?

[@ThePbird1]

Never heard “ Good enough for government work”

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

👍👍👍

[@redmeeko]

Why not use small router to get the right depth then finish up with chisel?

[@harleyb.birdwhisperer]

I have a succulent plant called ‘Devil’s Tongue’.

[@DavidSellars-b8l]

Dave, I believe that I spotted a misplacement of a piece by a shy 1/8 th inch. And how many years have I been watching? I'm not going to say where. dave

[@davesimmons8640]

I don't understand. But there's a lot of what you do that is beyond me. What difference does it make whether the extra 1/8-inch is taken from the top or bottom of the front bar (other than having to re-chisel for the iron fittings)? Wouldn't the bar be the same height regardless where the extra was taken from? As an editor, I know about split infinitives and dangling participles, but I'm clueless about woodworking and construction.

[@randyhughes5160]

You are dedicated

[@davidgibson5756]

Can someone make a Wikipedia entry for devils tongue? There may be a section on stage coaches.

[@ferguscosgrave7510]

Looking for to it

[@richardfisher3253]

Why is the bridge block called a fifth wheel?

[@donwilliams3626]

I believe it refers to the four wagon wheels and the pivot for the front axle turns making it the fifth wheel.
