Rolling Again on New Wood Spreader Wheels! | Engels Coach Shop

[@barthanes1]

It's got the Carolina squat. Nice to see her feet on the ground.

[@Horst-j9y]

saw the drink of water from the hose ; )

[@davidhudson5452]

Well done looked like a fire in shop

[@ricco8733]

Been watching you for years. I am a woodworker as well. I always enjoy your content and have learned a lot over the years. Thank you for sharing your talent with me.

[@TCW-hw6iw]

Seeing the spreader on its wheels and now a piece of rolling stock is quite a treat. You are an artist.

[@harveypost7799]

When those wheels hit the ground a moment to stand bac and b satisfied

[@rickaser2383]

watching you build wheels from scratch is almost hypnotic. completely enjoy your videos. thanks.

[@alhart6126]

You dont bend metal..you MOVE IT!

[@jeffwisemiller3590]

Even though Dave is tired of wheels, he still gets 'round to it. (20:48 never too old to drink from the hose!)

[@harpintn]

Him taking a drink from the hose brought back many memories of my childhood. It also made me miss the sweet, cool water from our limestone well.

[@janhellinck6830]

it gets done

[@jerrygillette854]

The sign.of a true craftsman, is Dave telling us the small wheels are a bugger to make and then proceeds to make it look easy. Well done, sir. Well done.

[@Reziac]

It's like tiny screws. Way more trouble than big ones!

[@duanelundgren7985]

That "First Roll' is a satisfying delight!!! Thanks D & D !!!!

[@dianeengel4155]

[@skeets6060]

OUTSTANDING,,, all we need to see now,, is it spreading cow pies,,, ;)

[@howardnielsen6220]

It’s an amazing art building wheels Dave thank you so interesting

[@dhscts]

The smell of fresh baked wagon wheels. Thanks for sharing.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

The smaller front wheels: because that is the size they need to be. Sometimes I don't think we give our Forefathers enough credit for being the smart resourceful folks they were. Great job on the manure spreader Sir. I will never get tired of watching you build wheels and mount the tires on them.

[@toddrf]

I imagine most people weren’t questioning the original builders, but just wondered why.

[@Kristoferskogsberg]

@@tomtruesdale6901 I live in Sweden and here many smaller wheels have more fellies.

[@stephenrice4554]

Like , ditches , wheels , window latches , early spreaders , our fore fathers knew what worked , here farmers filled in the dykes to get a few feet of land , now their fields sit in water and they're moaning . Put the ditches back and you'll stop your ancestors laughing .

[@deejackson1565]

​@@Kristoferskogsbergsame in the UK. Really surprised and impressed by steambending the large section timber to such a tight radius. I'm more familiar with shorter, sawn felloes... Maybe one every two spokes. Skills.

[@stevenb5510]

You are amazing with all you do to rebuild or restore these timeless classics. Lost craft for sure. Thank you for sharing all you do. I enjoy watching.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Beautiful work!

[@GeorgeEllis-q1u]

Dave, love how you "back-hook" your spoke tool with your foot when you set the first spokes. The human body is the most versatile tool of all.

[@louGriggs1944]

It sure is looking good now. Thanks for explaining the wheel diameter differences.

[@hdibart]

It is a joy and a privilege to watch you work,thank you.

[@Cheggley45]

Remarkable skill and craftsmanship. Fitting these wheels together so perfectly is a marvel. Great job Dave.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

It's alive ! Moving over so the other build can go to the museum and then it will be wrapped up too in time. Looking great Dave.

[@jimhowardbatey410]

the manure spreader is so cool. I'll bet you'll be sorry to give it up.

[@chuckthebull]

I've watched you set tires so many times and still find it fascinating to watch and how you have the calculations so well done to even make it look that easy when i know its a lot harder than it looks .. It truly is an art form. and you drank from the hose....That made my day!

[@OXFORD486]

THE BOSS...

[@1musicsearcher]

I remember the episode when you said you were going to stop making wheels. Boy am I sure glad you still do. That’s just fascinating.

[@kaywalker4433]

wow...looks so good...

[@Zzyzx--]

Never fails to amaze me, how you take a pile of rotted, sun-grey wood and rusty iron and turn it into a brand new 19th century wagon as good as the day it first rolled out of the workshop. You're the very definition of the American master craftsman!!

[@chonzie16]

Great job

[@davidsecondine]

Just wanted to say I have been following your channel for years and have enjoyed every one I have watched. You keep a tradition alive that is important. I grew up on a farm in Oklahoma and can relate to much of what I see. It was my job during haying season to keep the sickle bar for the haymower sharp and replace the broken teeth. Keep up the good work. I have really enjoyed you rebuilding the manure spreader. Everything you do is educational for me if only in my mind and memory. Thanks a lot.

[@gregorymacneil2836]

Great Video to finish the week with! It was either the Olympics or Engles Coach Shop - I choose the Coach Shop!

[@causewaykayak]

ME too. Somehow the wheelwrights are more real.

[@tomtruesdale6901]

I’ve watched both but watching wheel building was much more enjoyable. Great work, as ever. Cheers from Scotland.

[@guysmith1946]

Absolutely Awesome!!!! It doesn’t matter if it’s Wheels or Wagons… Sir you are absolutely amazing.. I am very glad that I found your channel!!!

[@dougfurman3265]

I love it, it just grows. Your not kidding. its a constant battle for free space to work.

[@andrepienaar6459]

Another one of your 'children' completed, Dave, and, as always, a beauty! Thanks for sharing. My bicycle I rode to school on in the 60's also had 28" wheels.

[@Gena_1309]

Спасибо.

[@simonolsen9995]

If my bucket list wish of a visit to the US ever came true, I would have less than zero interest in Disneyland, but a visit to Dave's workshop would be a dream come true.

[@c185pilot3]

Building wheels make the best videos

[@edbelledin9600]

It’s fantastic how you’ve so carefully documented and beautifully reconstructed this rare antique manure spreader. Explaining the making of the wheels and tires was an added bonus. I can’t wait to see it being used. Thanks you both again for documenting and taking us all along on this educational and interesting experience.

[@Richard-rz8gt]

One man performing every task then on to final assembly. This is what the guilds were designed to produce. This is the way.

[@anthonylautzenheiser3802]

This is the Way.

[@markpeterson663]

Great ASMR videos.

[@paulwhitehouse3690]

Watching Dave applying his special skills and tools reminds me that we have been making animal drawn vehicles, addressing very different needs, and from different local materials available to us, for a considerably longer period than we have been making engine powered vehicles. Thank you Dave

[@walterschaap5821]

love when you took a drink of water from the hose that is what i did growing up

[@Hey_Its_That_Guy]

Tip for you, Mr. Dave. Get yourself a hockey puck to use on your floor jacks. They are usually small enough to fit inside the jack bracket/cup, but can easily be sanded down to fit. They provide a good, non-slip, cushion and don't mar the surface of the thing you're jacking up. You can also cut a groves in them to accommodate round surfaces (axles, etc.).

[@dianeengel4155]

Thank you

[@SuperZmeister]

Once again I have realized a deeper appreciation of the use of c-clamps. I understand the mind numbing nature of constantly building wheels is to you, but truly, I can speak for the masses watching you is always educational. Thank you.

[@DavidKutzler]

I have a hobby machine shop. One day my wife asked me why I have so many clamps. I told her that you can never have enough clamps. To say that she was skeptical was an understatement.

[@garthbutton699]

Can't ever have to many C-clamps

[@mayforddavis9291]

The God given talents and abilities of this man is truly amazing. Always enjoy being invited to "look in" on another adventure by Dave. God Bless you and Mrs. Engels.

[@mcransley]

Why give God the credit? Dave is very good at what he does because he’s put thousands of hours and practise and thought into what he does.

[@JánTkáč-r7z]

Nice job

[@suzisaintjames]

8:53 thanks for showing this leg trick on the persuader. I'm just 110 pounds and this is something I can do. My dad told me, when I first started to drive, if I ever had to change my own tire on the side of the road, to stand on the tire iron to loosen the lug nut. Thankfully someone always was there to help me, so I've never had to do it myself, but watching you today, reminded me that there's probably a lot of things like this that I can do with my legs instead of arms where I don't have as much strength. Thanks Dad! 💖🌞🌵😷

[@raymondhorvatin1050]

Nice wheels

[@jasonscott8844]

The spreader is the most practical piece of art ive ever seen.

[@jakobrebeki]

I think this one is one of the best little projects you have done in a long time....

[@jimharris6545]

Hello Diane, thank You for all the work you do for us, and the videos. Jim in Oregon

[@dianeengel4155]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@2_dog_Restoration]

Dave That feeling of watching that beautiful spreader roll for the first time in a 120 plus years!! Had to be as exciting for you as it was for the guy that originally bought it.Then Unloading it at the train station way back 120 years ago!! He had only "seen" it more than likely from a black & white drawing in a catalog.

[@ron.v]

It is such a joy following along as you create things almost from nothing. Hats off, also, to Diane for her generous contributions. If I had done even half that in such heat, I'd be sweating bullets. You are one tough gentleman.

[@massoud999]

Another masterpiece 👏

[@Alan2E0KVRKing]

That's turned into a beauty, nearly a shame to fill it with muck now! :)

[@danielbutler578]

Hey Dave! Seeing you snag a drink off your water hose reminded me of a job where I worked 3 hours in 2 HOT apartments where I drank 2 gallons of water and never needed the bathroom. It was almost an hour after I got home and a quart of Gatorade later that I finally had to visit a bathroom. Please be careful when you are working in that kind of heat. Don't wait until you are thirsty to get some water. If you feel thirsty then you are already dehydrated. Drink small amounts frequently before you're thirsty so you don't overheat or make yourself sick.

[@michael-dm2bv]

Replacing the tire on a tiny lawn mower tire way more difficult than on anything larger, dependently....🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Super troopers.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@mikewillegal682]

Your honey wagon is beautiful.

[@babargreenleaf3871]

Hi Mike. Your comment about the honey wagon brought back a lost memory. When I was in high-school, our big copper mine would hire you to work there for good pay for the summer ... if your Dad was employed there! My sister even got hired, but she got to work in the office and wear a mini-skirt! I did work underground for 2 months, and the bathroom was called the honey wagon, a very small mine-car tanker, with a toilet seat on top, and a ladder to up to it. We were told if we ever got caught peeing in the drifts, we'd be instantly be fired, and it woul be published in the local newspaper!

[@babargreenleaf3871]

Anyway, the honey wagon had to be cleaned out every 1 or 2 weeks, and I thought, oh no, that's why they hired us students. But the old-timer miners would fight each other for the privilege of cleaning out the honey wagon because they did it on the surface, they got double pay, it would take half a day, then they got to take a nice hot shower and go home way early! Sounds like you might know this already!

[@kevinbalmer427]

"Stuff" expands to fill the space available. It's just one of life's truisms.

[@cliftonsnider1520]

You’re pretty darn agile when the tire is cooling and stuck. Thanks for setting a good example Dave. 🤣

[@alanward7308]

We love watching your videos. Once again you showed your craftsmanship in this manure spreader. We'd like to detour on our upcoming trip and visit.

[@StrokerStevens]

I've been following you for quite some time. I live down in Florida. My Father-In-Law lives up in Northern Arkansas, and in one of his barns he has an old horse drawn wagon. In the 35 years I've known him, I've never seen it out of that barn.

[@timeflysintheshop]

It was cool to see the belt tension changing on the band saw when it was loaded and unloaded!

[@amateurshooter6054]

Congratulations David she rolls again, how many years do you think it's been since the spreader has functioned on it's four wheels, always amazing watching you saving/recreating another piece of forgotten history. Thanks for taking us along!

Well, Dave bought it 40 years ago and it was quite a while before that.

[@BillOwens-vt2wi]

Nice work and thanks for the info on the size of the front wheels. Not an easy task putting those together. Your still teaching and I'm still learning. Thank you and God bless.

[@Grandpaw2511]

I have wondered about the front wheels do but I figured you would clear that up before you finished with the spreader.

[@EmilyGOODEN0UGH]

20:46 Thirsty work! Gave me a giggle. :D Glad to see the reason for the tiny wheels.

[@Randiego]

Wow Dave ! From that pile of rotten wood, rusted iron, and a rough idea of what this machine was like when new, you sure have surprised a lot of watchers. To those of us that have been following you for all these years, it is the master coach and wagon builder showing us not only the skills in fabrication, but puzzling out how this machine goes together and works. My favorite build to date had been the Democrat buggy, but this, Dave, is a magnificent example of your craftsmanship and logic. I had no idea that from that pile of lumber a functioning impliment would emerge. From the ashes, the Phoenix has risen ! Just masterful. Well done, Dave.

Can we take a minute to appreciate the shape Dave is in. To handle the things he does all by himself,and how many blows with that 4? Pound hammer just to assemble this one set of wheels.

[@bullettube9863]

When I was a boy we had a wooden manure spread out behind our barn. One day my dad pulled it out to the middle of a plowed field and for the rest of the week we piled old wood and apple tree prunings on top of and around it. Then on a Saturday night my dad set it all afire, it was a huge bonfire and was quite a sight. On Monday I collected all the metal parts including as many nails as I could find into the back of Dad's pick-up and with some other metal junk took it to a scrap dealer. We got three dollars for all of it and my dad gave me a dollar as a reward for helping him. I kinda kick my self for all the antiques we got rid of but to us it was just junk and at the time I doubt anyone really cared for any of it.

[@richardcole9558]

A fair bit of time has past since that last rolled …superb job as always ..
