Replacing the Brake System on a Farm Wagon Undercarriage | Engels Coach Shop

[@jeffreymartin1892]

Very nice work. In this day and age, it's rare to see this kind of craftsmanship. Thanks for the video.

[@MikeRichard-ng4in]

Once again I have enjoyed your retoration project on the old wagon, you did a super job on it.

[@alfiversen7023]

You probably hear this every week: Nice to see carriage bolts be used on an actual carriage. I admire the care and detail put into a piece of farm equiptment. Thank you for another interesting and inspiring video.

[@gregbozard3319]

I never get tired of watching this craftsman work his trade. Whether it's blacksmithing, wood working or fabricating this man is one of a kind. Great job Dave!

[@deweyadkison2415]

Been watching him 2 years now..Rebuilt a Weber Farm Wagon & an old Farm Wagon for the town of Greenwood, Louisiana.for their annual pioneer days parade held every September.just from watching his videos.

[@Uswesi1527]

The Master Craftsman demonstrated the importance of protecting and maintaining the integrity of the heritage and traditions by reusing the original hardware.

[@vincentwesolowski459]

My wife doesn’t see what I get our of this channel. I say there is nothing like watching a craftsman at work. Every time I watch your videos I learn something new. Keep up the good work. Take care and stay healthy

[@frankgaletzka8477]

Hello Sir A little late but better to late as never It is a pleasure to see you working The nuts all in the same Direktion all the little Details great I now can imagin how my grandfather work in his Stellmacher Werkstatt We all see an old waggon but the work and the skills to build one we dont see and can not know Thanks to you that you gave all of us the ah in German Möglichkeit to see it All the best greetings Yours Frank

[@Aussiehomestead1965]

Just me......or did anyone else watch to the end , just to see how that darn brake system worked..?....Truly inspiring work Dave...Thanks so much.

[@michaelvanvleet998]

Amidst all the current chaos, I sure do enjoy this channel.

[@DieCastoms]

While watching your videos, I am regularly surprised at how few specialized tools you use ... common hammers, common saws, common wrenches, a tablesaw, there's nothing really exotic in your day-to-day work. Sure the rim heater and the tire setter machine, and maybe your wood bending press, but pretty much everything else we see you use often can be had in a trip to Lowes! It makes me feel I could do more in my little garden shed than I previously thought . . . and for that, I sincerely and truly thank you!

[@EngelsCoachShop]

Very true. Each tool can only do what the holder asks it too. Fancy tools are not always the a answer, though there is a place for them at times.

[@waynelewis881]

An observation: It seems unlikely to me that there’s another human being on earth that can drill a hole freehand several inches deep and have it come out on the other side right where it needs to be every time! I’ve been watching you for a couple years now, and I don’t remember ever seeing you miss!

[@michaelbirmingham4111]

Mind eye.

[@evanpenny348]

@@michaelbirmingham4111 Not really. You will often see him put a finger on the spot where he wants the hole to come out. It is rather amazing how accurately the hands can sense if the drill bit is going toward your finger, or not. The other aspect is not to try to drill all the way through from the one side only. By drilling from both sides any slight misalignment is corrected by the drill bit "finding" a good path into the opposed hole. The flutes on the rill bit sort of ream a straight path. Long practice plays its part also.

[@nevets7152]

That's why he drills from both sides through the part that is going to be held with the bolt. Steve in Thailand.

[@VAXHeadroom]

Heh - I think that every time. Definitely a muscle-memory skill learned over a very long road!

[@brw3079]

@@VAXHeadroom i just watched a video of a guy here in Brazil that tried that trick, even with drilling from both sides, his bit came out the side of his 2 x 8. It's not easy.

[@MMitchellMarmel]

The perfect antidote to the stress of modern living...

[@frankoesterreicher6907]

My thoughts exact.

[@freddiebates5539]

I remember my uncle's jury rig all kinds of parts from neighborhood barns together to fix their cotton wagons before picking time not every neighborhood had a blacksmith or the tools to make the repairs needed to keep these old girls rolling in the fields, my grandpa was pretty good at plucking parts and making new ones for the family that didn't know much about that sort of thing, I've still got old tools he used and I keep them clean and oiled up just for the precious memories. I love your videos.

[@larrykeenan598]

Watching you work never gets old. So much knowledge that really needs to be passed on.

[@davidjames5577]

He sure is an amazing and humble craftsman and problem solver. I love watching his videos.

[@mitchilito99]

It doesn't matter in the least to me what Dave is doing - I watch every single thing mezmerized!

[@maxwebster7572]

Watching this while my boy is in the hospital getting checked out for the thing. It's going to be a long night. THANKYOU!

[@michaeltuckerman6983]

I am amazed how some of that Hardware could have been made 200 years ago. People think they have skills nowadays shaking my head. Craftsman didn't even have light bulbs back then. You and your projects never cease to amaze me thank you Jesus

[@xenaco]

It is one thing to make new parts but you have to make the new parts look old. Excellent video.

[@schrottmax5099]

Ein sehr guter Handwerker,es ist eine Freude ihm bei seiner Handwerkskunst zuzuschauen.

[@JesusTorres-qr1gz]

Your skills are so great that even your tools can do the job without you in the shop. From the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.

[@wayneg5296]

I really enjoy the way you work and replicate the old equipment, in this case the wagon, I would also appreciate you commenting, or narrating what you are doing, while doing it, like when you showed us positioning your newly made wood component, based on the weathered marks on the old one. You have the sound running, so how about some comments while you work? Aside from that, your videos are first class!! And educational!!

[@zig6234]

I really like the style of your older videos with just showing the process. I pick up a lot of information on producing the finished pieces. Thanks again Dave.

[@johnday7362]

David, you are the only person I have ever seen weld a bolt back together. I am unsure what that says about modern man. Although, I doubt it says anything good. Thank you for the time you put into these videos, I am grateful for the look back into history.

[@EngelsCoachShop]

I wanted to keep the original heads.

[@philbohrman3918]

David, it is a real pleasure to watch you work and try to outthink you. I cannot do it. You are way ahead of me and where you're going.

[@dustysrandom5079]

The first time I’ve ever seen bolt cutters used to cut a bolt. A+ sir.

[@davo999]

I like that you welded that bolt back together to reuse an original piece.

[@joepie221]

Gives whole new meaning to the term ' Brake job '. Well done as usual.

[@ahvavee]

A little whiskey and a lot of engles this evening. Life is good. 👍

[@tbandikoota]

Beyond your amazing craft and skills, your video production and editing skills are truely amazing. You produce what would be a very good PBS production with every video you post. That side of your craft is equally admirable and inspiring.

[@thedevilinthecircuit1414]

Dave, there is so much to learn from your videos--even for people that go nowhere near wagons. Simple things like how to clear a drill of chips so it keeps drilling, how to free a frozen bolt, etc., all basic and useful skills no matter what a person is working on. Cheers and be well!

[@EngelsCoachShop]

Very true. Thanks.

[@willdennis2722]

Great video! Looks like a peaceful place which we all could retreat to (but not to many)

[@kevinlesch9656]

With calving season then fence to fix and now middle of hay season it's nice to get a rainy night forecast to sit down and watch your videos. Thanks for sharing them with us

[@johnbosco8209]

your work is totally unique. I never see anywhere. Very nice art, which you have had.

[@fletcher3913]

I have come to a conclusion there is as much art and craft in making new parts look old as there is in doing a restoration. Nice work, Sir.

[@davidhuston6677]

I've often heard the words " Jack of all trades " well I can honestly say I have seen one . Thanks for sharing Dave .

[@fasdfdsafsdafdsafdas]

Thank You Sir for the video. It's always a pleasure to watch making a piece of History. When I was young my grandparents used a cow pulled carriage for agriculture and work. I loved the feel of riding one. You remind me of a simple happy past

[@jakepekarik7772]

Dave, you are a national treasure, Iam sure you were told that before but its worth repeating. Thank you for posting.

[@garrettswoodworx1873]

And another crazy week is returned to some sense of normalcy, even if only for 28 minutes and change, by this refreshing, entertaining and educational video. Once again, Dave: Thank you for allowing us to tag along on this wonderful journey!

[@michb7414]

It’s crazy how watching videos like this I somehow get mesmerized / hypnotized. It’s relaxing & my wife thinks I’m crazy lol hahahahaha. I have always liked beefed up wagons that will last for a hundred years

[@scottfindlay2625]

a little light sandblasting will raise the grain also and make it look closer to the original weathered wood texture after your staining. I stumbled on your channel a few weeks ago and have binge watched them now. LOL.

[@jeffclark2725]

I like the way you save the old hardware ,it takes some refinishing and repair, but still good

[@ВиталийЛукьянов-п3ц]

Beautiful work. With great pleasure I watch your channel from Russia. Good luck with your business.

Dry nice minimal repairs on the brakes system and using as much of the original materials as possible.the timber you cut to get the bolts out of was very surprised how good it was not rotted away you all take care 😀

It was like the bolts grew roots, they didn't want to come out.
