How To Make New Weld Repairs Look Old | Engels Coach Shop

[@BobVogel-t1u]

I wasn';t too excited about 'preserving' the wood, to me that was pretty well rotted away. (Though I'm content with making the new wood look old.).But, seeing you repair the old twisted metal, and preserving them (with the minimum repairs required for functionality) seems like a good choice. Looking forward to seeing this 'old' sheep wagon when it's done. Friday eves are the best time on the internet! Happy Holidays to all!

[@johnking8679]

It sure makes it look more authentic looking !! Dave, you are Master craftsman !!

[@fordfan3179]

It'll be something to watch alright. Always entertaining!

[@PendeltonWhiskey]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Engle family and all of their fans

[@OddBall1958]

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanuka and Happy Holidays! To All May everyone be blessed with the very best New Year! Peace!

[@karlhrdylicka]

Invisible mending , can I see some please.? Excellent repair Dave .

[@theoldbigmoose]

Dave your eye for straightness is unparalled!

[@HBTwoodworking]

When I do antique repairs and restorations, it is very challenging to get repairs to disappear, but you can blend them very closely so you eye is not drawn to them. Again, Dave, you’re the master. Great job! - Phil

[@richardsurber8226]

Good instruction for someone who may be interested in preserving the look of old irons. Thanks Dave and Diane For all you do for this trade/craft

[@brh4115]

Great work on keeping and simulating the patina on the wood and metal work! This is going to make an excellent museum display.

[@VanguardSys]

incredible set of skills!!! All perishable unless you have an apprentice!!

[@jerrygillette854]

Most anyone can make something old look new, but you have a definite talent in making the new look old. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

[@KennDungate]

Happy Holidays Dave. Staysafe,Staywell. Thank you for the wonderful videos. Kenn

[@antiowarr9467]

More than just a pleasure watching these vids and understanding very old and sick man to day but never a boring split second in these vids, ever Cheers to every one who watches.

Watching rust dry 🙂 Looks good to me!!

[@arnhemseptember2009]

Best wishes from Holland!

[@brucematthews6417]

That's a very slick trick for aging the steel that you had to repair or otherwise heat up. That blends beautifully. A very Merry Christmas and New Year to you and your family.

[@jeffclark2725]

Thumbs up great video, the preservation is coming right along

[@glencrandall7051]

Thank you for sharing.🙂🙂

[@tomtruesdale6901]

Science meets knowledge, skills and abilities to make old rough iron new again but then look old again. Great job Dave, enjoy watching you work your magic.

[@arthurirwin8235]

I enjoy watching an artist at work. Merry Christmas to all!

[@michelbrodeur6055]

I am amazed by your knowledge of wood working and metal work. The ability you have to make old new and vice versa is a testament of the knowledge garnered along the way. Thanks for the great videos and all the best to you and Diane now and in the New Year.

Need to take a chunk of old chain and antique those boards with a few dings, gouges and whatever

[@jamesdavis4124]

Merry Christmas to you and yours 🎄

[@thomaspospiech6764]

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Your work and videos are a great gift!

[@careyallen8225]

I think it looks fantastic

[@markdamm7715]

I hope the sheep appreciate all the hard work you're putting into this wagon

[@user-ce7bj4rk8r]

Awesome aging process. Truly a craftsman

[@corwinchristensen260]

I remember watching my Grandpa do some of this ... weld up parts, old tools, bolts, nuts, screws, chains & links, etc. Make 'em rust, then he'd boil them for quite a while, dump them on the table and I helped rub as much rust off as we could with a brillo pad before dropping them in a pan of kerosine. They would come out black and didn't want to rust anymore. Later I've found that it's a form of bluing that used to be done as a quick preservative of steel.

[@KeeferT]

This makes better sense to me than trying to save wood that is very nearly too far gone.

[@johnberryhill8106]

Dave, I can't help noticing that the vest is looking FANTASTIC!....It's getting broken in real nice !.......looking good!

[@rockishere6760]

[@hefy2jefy]

Fascinating to watch as usual. Also just wanted to mention that the camera work is spot on, you always get to see exactly what you need to see, whoever is operating the camera has a good feel for the work!

[@byronjuen616]

That floor looks great!

[@stg6186]

Brilliant tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas to you both. Slainte.

[@jimdee5003]

Great oxidation technique

[@Crewsy]

Vinegar and steel filings or steel wool like I used works great on wood but not all wood. Oak takes it really well but cedar just looks muddy. Surprised but not surprised that it works so well on the fresh repaired braces and brackets.

[@bigoldgrizzly]

you can try to remove surface oils in the wood using acetone and applying a solution of tannic acid and allowing this to dry, before treating with the vinegar mix. It is the natural tannin in the wood that reacts to give the dark colors. Oak has a lot of tannin but some woods like cedar, have very little natural tannin. You could try some test pieces, using tannin from boiling up a few tea bags in water, to make up the solution.

[@accessiblenow]

Merry Christmas

[@bertieb9510]

I so much enjoy watching you display your wood and metal skills whether it is making the old look new or the new look old or building completely from scratch. You are a master.

[@clarencegreen3071]

Excellent camera work and editing! Thanks, Dave and Diane. Wish you the best!

[@gerhard6105]

Nice job. I inspected your welds from many kilometers away. They are 👍. Merry Christmas and regards from a 🇳🇱 in 🇧🇪.

[@NoNamegone]

I have watched a number of your videos now and I find them to be most interesting, educational, as well as very captivating! You are extremely good at what you do and have much to offer in passing your knowledge on to another generation of folks who do or would like to do what you are doing. I've learned a number of things by watching you. Very much look forward to each new video! Watching you make the repairs and replacing pieces of the project is the next best thing to actually bring there with you, in my opinion.

[@garthbutton699]

Pretty slick time lapse on that rusty iron work,not everyone can do recreation of rusty iron work,appreciate you and yours efforts🤗😎🤗😎

[@davidbohner692]

Thanks for a wonderful year 🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✅✅✅✅✅⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎅🏻🎄 Merry Christmas

[@gordbaker896]

In your next life Dave, you should apply for Curator at the Smithsonian. Great Press. Quick and precise. Wishin Diane, Daughter and You good Health and Happiness during the Holiday Season and beyond. Merry Christmas.

[@davidbishop4015]

Repairing the old parts with new metal and returning it to the old finish. Remarkable work Dave. Stay safe.

[@kevindakin3847]

It would be nice if you could do a video about the history of your shop! And do you have an apprentice? Really appreciate what you do it is a pleasure to see a craftsman at work. Keep up the great content.

[@colingraham1065]

Another skillful video. I love the fact that almost entire engineering world stresses about stopping steel rusting and corroding but you are bucking the trend, excellent.

[@ellisc.foleyjr9778]

Well once again I come away learning something new about the old and the new! And what's that old saying "That you're never too old to learn" that's true! I'm 80 and I just learned something new. and plan on using it too! (its called Positive thinking! my friend!) ECF

Your shop is amazing. I hope I can get my shop at home half as cool as yours.

[@scotty2307]

I really like the way that wagon bed turned out. I will definitely be using that method of aging if the need should arise in a project. The creative rusting reminded me of something. I have seen a few antique engines with a rust finish. Instead of removing the rust and re painting, the owner just used light oil, and probably some very fine steel wool, and buffed the rust to a smooth to the touch sheen. The effect is of a slightly mottled, rich maroon color that I find to be beautiful. I much prefer that sort of look to a freshly painted and pin striped 100 year old engine.

[@BillErickson-zw8zo]

Dave, I have been following along for 5 or 6 years now. I enjoy your videos enormously, the content is fascinating and the production/editing is masterful. Well done! Most of all I enjoy forensic analysis of how these old vehicles were built and in the end fell apart. You sometimes discuss the new timber you use, and a I remember few years back you compared the strength of various species. I would be curious to know more about the original timber, from which the wagons were made, was it good or bad, local or special, was it built to last, and what do you learn from this.

[@rickcline2762]

As always, great work Dave. Happy holidays to you and Diane and your family.

[@stephenrice4554]

Marvellous demonstration , a real eye opener. Merry Christmas to you , Diane and the geranium . 🎄🎁🌟🔔🥳🥃

Really enjoy watching how you can make a pile of rotted wood and rusty old Iron look like it's still a usable relic of yester-year. Merry Christmas and all the best to you and family as we all slide into the new year. As always Looking forward to your next video.

[@GypsyJvan]

thanks.. ..Black Art Forge..

[@goodgrieflouiser5807]

Just found your channel when you started this sheep manure cart. You have an amazing shop and even more amazing skills. I’ll be following this rebuild of this old wagon. Thanks for sharing.

[@1pcfred]

The manure spreader and sheep cart are two different projects. They are a bit hard to tell apart now though. As both are in rough shape.

[@PendeltonWhiskey]

Make sure you see the Borax wagon series! It's all on one playlist. I think Dave might have referred to it as his signature project. Each one is a masterpiece

[@kennethrajspis1595]

Another fantastic job. Your work is the best.

[@DASBookbinding]

I think the heat results in a combination of ferrous ferric oxide rust with the ferrous component being better bound to the metal and more stable.

[@1pcfred]

Heat gives metal an affinity to take on oxygen. It's why you have to shield when you're welding. Otherwise before you're done you'll just have a pile of rust.

[@stevewoodard527]

Interesting, as always. Merry Christmas to you and Diane! All the best -- Steve from Circle

[@stantilton2191]

Great tip to pass along for the patinas you may need. Some of that stock is most likely wrought iron. It stands the weather quite well. Thanks for sharing..

[@annnnonnymous]

Merry Christmas and Happy New year! Thanks for another year of entertaining and educational videos, not all of it applies to everything I do, but Im constantly noticing little tricks to incorporate in my work and projects. The weld aging from this video is likely to end up making an appearance in a car restoration Im doing.

[@PaulKilpin]

Such a pleasure to watch a master of his craft. Thank you.

[@ShouldersMoondog549]

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

[@terryrogers1025]

Very interesting, nice to see the effort you are making to keep everything as original as possible, I am following this project with much interest, thanks for the tag along video, enjoyed it.

[@Reziac]

The dings and imperfectly straight spots and repairs kinda add to the aged authenticity ... and I keep thinking those irons look like maybe they were salvage when they first went into the wagon.

[@bertbergers9171]

Thanks for another warming and insightfull video Dave! Merry Christmas to you, Diane and family!

you do amaizing work sir i enjoy your show and i think the daughter would hope they would bring some of that stuff back👍🦘terry

[@petert3355]

Merry Christmas Dave and Diane, hope you have a great holiday from Australia down under. This wagon is looking great.

[@strokerace5468]

Man O Man that looks so good the way the wood turned out

[@petegraham1458]

The mix you make with vinegar and iron ends up to be iron acetate , on the wood it reacts with the tannins and produces the gray color you want the acetate has a relatively low PH and etches the iron and oxygen in the air quickly rusts it in the micro cavity produced in the etching so it doesn’t rub off . I use this mix for aging / ebonizing wood too, I make mine with % 45 agricultural vinegar and course steel wool , wash the oil off the steel wool with a degreaser and make sure the vessel is vented and away from sparks or flames as the gas produced is hydrogen.

[@phillipsmith7081]

Happy Holidays Brother Dave and Sister E from Tennessee. God Bless!!!

[@johnthreefifteen]

Merry Christmas!!

[@oikkuoek]

What would've been the preferred method back in 1930's? Bronze brazing? Holes, pins and braze? riveted metal splinters? riveted pipe sleeve? brazed and riveted pipe sleeve/splinters? Forge/hammer welding sleeves/splinters? Showcasing pre-welder fixing methods would've also been a neat addition to this project.

[@stephengunnell5048]

Your rusting method seems similar to how they used to get the patina on Brown Bess muskets. And Merry Christmas!

[@daveo.6659]

They used aqua fortis (dilute nitric acid) and iron filings instead of vinegar and iron filings to brown the barrels. I used to make custom muzzle loading rifles professionally. I've browned my share of rifle barrels.
