Amish Buggy & Carriage Making

[@RuralRevolution]

Thanks Jack for the great visit, We had a quite a chat and you let my boy Jeffrey sit up front with you while you changed the horses for our cookie run. We are from Ontario. I just bought myself an Amish Buggy, it is an old fashion Amish buggy, I will restore it to the best of my ability...very proud to own it...God Bless You and your Family Jack!

Amish the original preppers,, Thumbs up to them. God Bless everyone of them.

[@jrhager]

Nice to hear from you Mika.

[@sharontackett1683]

jrhager why do the Amish have KZbin videos?!!!!

[@juliannedispain1637]

Some really pretty carriages. Lots of work goes into them.

Thursday 2:14 AM. How did I end up here, why am I watching this. I need to be up at 5AM.

[@clydebalcom8252]

I'm always humbled by the innovation and adaptability of the Amish.

[@greglewis2398]

Its great to see American heritage is still alive and well in the 21century.🙂

[@chrisborey1734]

Yes

[@khadijagwen]

My stepfather was Amish and grew up outside Lancaster, PA. Though I have no desire to emulate him. I sometimes long for a simpler life. In many ways my life is quite simple.

[@jrhager]

Take your own counsel. Emulate yourself.

[@donnaml8776]

Emulate Jesus only.

[@chrisborey1734]

I know what you are thinking.

[@youllregretit]

Having a simpler life can no doubt be a struggle at times, but through struggles you learn to have patience, contentment, kindness...etc. Not being as heavily involved with technology lets your dependence on people rise and your relationships with friends and family grow.

[@starblazer64]

I think the world would have been better off without all the technology we have. I think Simple is better and less stressful. My Respect goes to the Amish folks and people that live Simple and Frugal lives.

[@michellemarie1197]

I agree to a point, but what about the harsh winters and ice? Plus how do carriages see at night time?

[@donnaml8776]

Amy-Creicher I completely agree. Modern does not mean better. Even with the medical advances I’d still prefer the old way.

[@trreb1]

@@michellemarie1197 Most of them have lights on the front as well so they can see at night. I bought a really old Amish 2 seat buggy 2 weeks ago from some Amish friends that I'm restoring that came without lights in the front but has the flashing lights in the back.

I have great respect and admiration for the Amish. The Amish communities here in Maine are comprised of down-to-earth folks that I've enjoyed doing business and speaking with. We can all take some lessons from them.

[@jrhager]

....and they are healthier as well. No need for insurance or the doctor/pusher drugs. Drink Raw Milk, love.

I live in Philadelphia PA my last name means Carriage or coach in English. My family name is Carrozza.

[@KevinKimmich44024]

that new style carriage with the disk brakes, air ride, and improved wheels is light years ahead of many of the buggies I see out here on the road where I live. I was just wondering about the "state of the art", now I know. Thanks! There are probably many improvements they could still make with the buggies--especially with regard to safety in crashes. That said, I think their overall approach to skepticism of adopting new technology is pretty wise.

[@oldthudman]

Love the Amish carriages....especially the grey

[@jeremywentworth1833]

The first carriage must be the Rolls Royce of Amish buggys .

[@kennethmccann6402]

Beautiful! I have a question if lights are requires for buggy how do Amish charging 12 volt battery if they don't have electricity?

[@TheNextGoogification]

Wouldn't it be better to use some type of a modern pneumatic type of a wheel? I don't see the point of using the wooden Wheels - 10 times more work to wind up something that's inferior = Change = I'm wrong

[@anthonypoole6901]

Trying to build a buggy here. Im not Amish, but indo need an alternative means of travel. So im here looking for which way i want to go as in what kind of buggy.

[@bencrosbie]

The amish is using technology? no way

[@mike.p.1400]

I love the Amish simple lifestyle.

[@dsanford12]

Since the Amish are not really embracing electricity in the home , how are they recharging the car batteries that are powering the buggy's lights and stuff ?

[@pinkiepie1656]

They use solar and sometimes non-rechargible batteries

[@thecrazycatlady4970]

How much for a basic carriage like the first one I. The video that has a bit of a back with side seats. I would even consider a used buggy. I just need something that has the driver inside and out of the elements since Florida gets tons of rain. Do you have price lists

[@vickikennedy139]

thats a real modern buggy it looks like fun to ride in and it looks real smart

[@bobhostetler8548]

He is actually not amish but dresses kinda like the amish. The amish clothes are actually quite comfortable. I'm ex amish.

[@carl5536]

People hollers about slavery that happened way before any of us was born but what about the Amish horses, I don't never hear anything outa them and when they go by each other they ain't even allowed to speak to each other...A horses life sucks people and always remember, Horses Lives Matter

[@b26maurader]

@jrhager I don't think you meant anything offensive by it, but I hope that you don't think that the Amish are unintelligent because they choose to live life differently. I know quite a few Amish families and they are all very smart.

[@Chas1Greg]

I'm wondering what they would cost if someone was to looking to buy ?

[@juanzingarello4005]

Rearview mirror with blind spot mirrors? That's cool. Next they will have blind spot monitors with rear cross traffic alert.

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

I got a good idea. You should make the windshield wipers work from the wheel spinning so that they dont have to crank it by hand. And you can make fans work that way. Like a belt drive system.

[@jrhager]

super idea, man

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

jrhager Thanks. Its my idea so it would probubly work good.

[@tolgahk84]

Ive got an idea also, im not sure how well it will go down with the Amish in regards to electricity use but i was thinking about their buggy's and the lighting system they use. Ive heard they use 12volt systems just like in a car and there's a big chance for the battery to run out so for keeping the battery charged how about using a car's alternater belt driven off one of the wheels which in turn will run back into the battery to keep it topped up. The system would more than likely need a couple of extra pulleys to speed up the turning rate of the alternator to keep it at optimum speed but it should be simple enough to do.

Do Amish move all of their things by buggy’s when moving?

High tech buggys, nice.

[@elwardmatthews4529]

Very educational . Thank you .

[@Colombia36790]

🧒🏼If you look at the first automobiles, they look very similar to these buggies. Also, those old Stagecoaches. It looks like their ancestors are the original auto makers, but Dimeter Mercedes, Dodge Bros, Henry Ford used their design, but added an engine and built them on a mass scale. If you install a gasoline engine on the front of one of these buggies, it will be identical to what Jay Leno has in his stable.

[@supermacs1]

hold on! amish first of all, didnt think ye uploaded to you tube!!!!???

[@MrLordphoton999]

how much does an Amish coach cost?

[@bellegreycats490]

How do you get horse feed, and groceries for a family of 6 in a buggy that small, with One horse. That is mind boggling

[@karmatt3098]

You take multiple trips. Amish rarely travel more than a few miles at a time.

[@goomba008]

They use a restricted set of technologies because it makes it easier to live by their principles. The real challenge is to preserve your tenets while embracing all of science and technology (and even then, these can often reveal that your principles your flawed to say the least)

[@U.S.SlaveOfficial]

anyone know a site where I can find a light duty wagon frame. I want a tube tire kinda like bikes have for wheels

[@redman7074]

A real innovator.......

[@TheMikevt]

Should put a blown 502 in it with open collectors. Just imagine the look on your Amish buddies faces! Also where are the wheel spinners?

[@remember25october]

I heard the Amish do not use electricity. But why don't they use steam turbine engines and hydraulic drivetrain?

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

I think they can use electric but they are not suposed to have electric wires going to theyer house. So they can use things like the lights on the buggies and its ok. And some even have cell phones for work and they get trucks but need someone that isnt Amish to drive them.

[@jrhager]

Like a fruit basket, they pick what they want to live by.

[@greenlawnfarm5827]

jrhager There are stricter ones and not as strict ones but dont let them fool you, they are mostly all rich.

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Personally, I'm glad they're using an hydraulic brake system and electric lights. To many Amish get killed on the roadway by morons driving their cars and trucks too fast and not paying attention !!! By the way, I'm seriously thinking on purchasing an Amish buggy, although I'm not Amish. If I do, I want brakes and lights for sure.

[@daw162]

I seriously doubt the guy is amish, not with that zipper on his coat and a camera. Amish are different in other parts of the country, but i'm not aware of orders that allow either of those things in central PA. That's not to say you wouldn't find amish breaking the rules and having computers in their houses, i'm sure some do. But I doubt they'd have a channel, and they sure wouldn't wear zippers.

[@Molop87]

Zippers??

[@deanawade5878]

I agree. When I seen the zipper and also the way he speaks. Most have a certain sound to them when they speak "English".... and also when he said the slang sentence about the windshield wipers. Also the camera.

[@louis-vd3ur]

I'm sure there are more car related deaths than Amish Buggy accidents. Considering they stay on country roads and in spacious areas it would make sense that anyone in that immediate area would expect to see them around and drive accordingly. Amish have a way of life worth maintaining and adhering to no matter the consequence. Cars are on their way to becoming obsolete and self driving. Horse and buggy will still be trotting along.

[@ironcladranchandforge7292]

Un grande e immediato problerma che le comunita' Miinonite/Amish hanno oggi e non ha nulla a che vedere con il modo di vivere, e' la consanguineita'. Non entro nel dettaglio, ma e' facile da capire che il gruppo genetico rimanendo isolato e non avendo intercambio con altri gruppi sanguigni/genetici sta degradando fisicamente le comunita' Minonite /Amish ed e' facile notarlo nella loro tipologia fisica. In breve, e' per il loro bene, che uomini e donne giovani si sposino con altri gruppi sanguigni per avere una prole sana sia mentalmente che fisicamente. (Praticamente parlando: dopo tre o quattro generazioni si stabilisce la condizione genetica di sposarsi come fra fratelli e sorelle a causa di un insieme genetico troppo piccolo e che non cambia.)

The Amish do not believe in electricity. It is sad the carriage has to have those lights on it, probably by law. Everyone wants to be offended at something, but I'm just saying.. did it not immediately jump out at anyone else as a tad bit.. idk, imagine if you were Amish, and it's probably law yes,.. but what about the freedom to express your religion? Was a lamp lantern not allowed? Lol just my 2 cents, I didn't see anyone else commenting on this little minor thing to us, but.. maybe to them..
