How to Make Whoa Mean Whoa! | Engels Coach Shop

Having efficient brakes helps communicate that Whoa means Whoa when driving horse drawn wagons. Understanding the leverage ratios in mechanical brakes is helpful in setting up these wagon brakes. I had to build a new brake handle for this chuck wagon, so I go through the ratios related to mechanical brakes.

The title for today's video reminds me of my grandpa. He was born in 1896 and farmed with horses full time until 1969. Sold his last team in 1976. When i spent summers with him in the early 70s His first pickup was a used 1959 Ford he bought in the early 70s. He allways parked it in the garage.One time he forgot to push on the brakes as he drove in at a pretty go clip. He yelled WHOA 2 times before he realized he needed to push on the brakes instead. The back wall of his garage got pushed out about a foot!!

[@danielbutler578]

I had a 67 Ford pickup that I put a 350 Olds Rocket engine in that a guy at a tire shop scared himself with. I warned him that he had to be careful with it because it would take off like a bat out of a very hot place if you stepped on the gas. I told him to just pat the accelerator to move it into the shop. His response was to tell me that he could drive anything and that I didn't need to tell him how to drive that truck. When I went to pick it up after work I heard another guy yell "that guy's here to pick up that truck you nearly ran through the shop in!" I went into the shop over the cashier's objections and said "what's this about nearly running my truck through the shop?" The guy who said he could drive anything was at the other end of the shop looking very pale. I started laughing and said "I gotta see this." One of the other workers started laughing and took me over to show me the skid marks that started about 10 feet in front of the door and stopped about 3 feet from the back wall. He stopped with less than a foot between the bumper and one of the main supporting posts on the back wall. From where I had parked the truck to where the skid marks started was about 15 feet and he slid almost 40 feet with the last 30 feet being slick concrete. The guy telling me about said they heard the engine rev up and then they saw him sliding through the shop. He said that when the guy got out of the truck he was as white as snow and shaking like a leaf in the wind. He wouldn't back it out and one of the other workers had to back it out of the shop. Everybody in the shop wanted to know what I had in that thing.

[@mtacoustic1]

My dad told me a story of when granddad bought his first car back in the 20's. When he came to stop he hollered "Whoa!" and pulled back on the steering wheel. Of course he didn't stop but continued on into a fence; where he did stop!

[@chuckthomas8176]

My first time watching. I’m now retired living in North Texas but grew up in the hills of Northern Middle Tennessee. That’s why I watch Out of the Woods where I heard about you. Your great craftsmanship is fun to watch. Please keep it up.

[@donsundberg5730]

Since your pivot for the brake lever is at the bottom, you actually have a 5:1 advantage on the brake lever (32+8)/8. That should give you a 20:1 overall advantage. Love your videos.

[@dianeengel4155]

Thank you. Dave says you're right.

[@railroad9000]

Dave, You are an impressive craftsman! Your worksmanship is surpurb!

[@lineshaftrestorations7903]

A slick trick I've used to "age" fabricated steel parts is to use a pneumatic needle scaler. The needles give a peened finish that mimics the pitting you might find on original cast iron or steel parts. Once painted it can be hard to tell whether or not it's an original.

[@RobertFay]

*- Yes, Great Solution...{and obvious, too, once you think of it}...I was thinking of all the hammering/peening that would have to be done, or sand blasting...that would have been lots of work and never get to the needle scaler marked finish you came up with would produce, especially if applied to hot iron.*

[@dianeengel4155]

Dave is going g to check that out.

[@duanelundgren7985]

Some of these Keyboard Experts take the fun out reading comments... They are missing the fun of the build series. Whether a braking system effectively works seems to be lost in their decimal points... Still a fun video, Thank You, Dave & Diane!!

[@toddrf]

Many of these “keyboard experts” are actual experts in mechanical engineering. Knowing the true mechanical advantage of this particular linkage is hardly a trivial point.

[@PeterWMeek]

I always get a little frisson of pleasure when I watch you clock those square nuts as you tighten them down. It's those tiny details that make the difference between utility and art. You might want to recalculate the mechanical advantage in the brake system. The ratio is going to be the *total* length of of the arm from the pivot to the handle (the input) divided by the length from pivot to brake rod (the output) - thus 40:8 rather than 32:8, or 5 to 1. At the rear, 20" is the total length of the "input" arm, so that ratio is 4 to 1 as you say. So, over all, 20 to 1 rather than 16 to 1. Now, for the actual pressure at the point where the shoes meet the tires, you are going to have to divide by two since the pressure is shared by the two brake shoes. Thus the pressure on each shoe will be 10 times the pressure on the handle (less any loss to friction in the pivots). If the system turns out to need more pressure, the place to gain advantage will be by shortening the output arm(s). Moving the output holes an inch or so closer to the pivot points will make considerable difference in the overall ratio.

[@thisolesignguy2733]

Love it! I think this is the first time you went into detail about the brakes and was awesome to learn. Also, for those that are like me and pause the video to put your headphones on when Dave starts pounding steel on the anvil (it's so relaxing to listen to) the times are: 7:18, 9:50, 11:20, and 13:55 😁
