Forging 3/4 x 2 1/2" Steel Bar into a Step Casting | Engels Coach Shop

- This Smith manure spreader was missing the left side step casting, so combining forging, a 50 ton hydraulic press, and some flap wheel shaping, I can come up with a viable solution for the missing step mount from the remains of the right side step that was still there. Thanks for coming along.

When Dave said "I wonder if I could fabricate this" how many of us already knew he could & was only playing with us? There wasn't a doubt in my mind.
I was thinking exactly the same thing.😊
Dave says: "I wonder if I could fabricate this" and I get comfy because I'm about to watch a chunk of cold-rolled steel get turned into a 100-year-old iron casting.
Mr. Engel mooshes steel around like a sculptor mooshes clay!
Every visit to the wainwright's/wheelwright's shop is a good visit.
Never a question
Well, I am a little disappointed that, apparently, he isn't going to include the casting number in his version. :-)
@@thomasbraeking6225 " . . . Iron casting" or steel forging?
Forging - that sounds like we are in for some fun - and Dave is too!
Not a statement on age, but watching you makes me feel like a little boy at my grandpa’s garage watching the magic of making something useful and sometimes beautiful for a specific purpose. That’s been more than a few decades for me and that’s the magic I love!
Gotta love those pneumatic hammers! No wonder blacksmiths of old had arms like tree trunks and shoulders like Hercules! This forging is definitely going to be stronger than the original cast part! Great work Dave!
This has got to be one of the greatest forging videos on RUclips...
Great job! One of the underrated skills of a blacksmith is the ability to understand, not just shapes, but the effects of streeeeetch… 👏
OK, Dave, now you're just showing off! Don't stop. It's glorious!
That's quite a power hammer
Happy Tuesday Dave!!
It never occurred to me that Dave would not accomplish this task wonderfully.
Great piece of black smith work. Thank you for that video.
THAT my friend is a piece of Art! On a Manure Spreader! That will probably go unnoticed. BUT WE know it's there. On a side note, could you imagine what an 17th or 18th century Blacksmith would have created with a power hammer or press???? 🤔
Trip hammers have been around for a very long time: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trip_hammer
@@AllenMorris3 Yep. Chinese examples go back thousands of years.
All I can say is "What do you expect when you are put in the hands of a Master!!"
Another learning episode, Dave !! Thanks for sharing !!
Once again, a real pleasure to follow along Dave & Diane . Creativity at its best. Look forwards to next week👍
You are surely a jack of all trades and a master of most!
That turned out really well, certainly way better than what was there before.
I am always amazed at how many areas you are a Master Craftsman of. Keep up the amazing work
My ancestors were from Germany from the research I've done they were wheelwrights so I started watching you a few years ago just to see what it's all about thanks Dave
The blacksmithing is my favorite part!
Really enjoy the other parts too!
Once again thanks for the video.
Hi Dave, and Diane, I haven't seen you get stumped yet. You always figure out something that will not only work, but work with such close accuracy that you can't tell the difference once it's installed. Always look forward to all of your videos. Thank you for sharing, and have a great evening.
Dave, you work very well under heat and pressure with your way of engineering missing pieces, well done sir!!
I have said it before, but it is worth repeating it.
You are a master craftsman.👍
Just a beautiful job making that silk purse.
That was great. Looking at that block of iron, I couldn't see how you would make that elegant bracket, but you did! Thanks for taking us along. Thanks for letting us watch!
You never cease to amaze me. Well done.
Beautiful work 👏👍👌 great job ❤ God bless you and your family ❤️🙏
When Dave sings "If I had a hammer" look out, no telling what he can make!!!
Fantastic Fabrication Dave, that was awesome watching you figure out what you needed to remove with your hammers. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.
An artist with a hammer and a grinder. Beautiful work as always!
Hi Dave and Diane ☺, that's a fair mirror image of that original one. As always it's a pleasure to watch you manipulate red hot metal into a new shape. No wonder in ancient times smith were looked on as magicians of the black art of metalworking, and if I may I'd put you into that same category, not just as a smith though, but in all the things you do, and take your time to show us, many thanks Dave, best wishe's to you and Diane, Stuart and Megan UK.
That master craftsman's humility is exemplary. It's a beautiful thing that these videos are digitally immortalized. It's soothing, inspiring and meditative to witness you work. Thank you!
Wow, that was an amazing job of forging.
Power hammer shop press and a cross pein , job done . Way to go Dave
Dave you NEVER cease to amaze with your creativity and skills.
Could watch you all day, never ceases to amaze me!
Thanks for posting Dave
Wow. Ingenuity gettin it done!
david, you are a master-fabricator.
thanks for the video.
I wonder how Torbjörn Åhman would do that? He has all the tools and an unbelievable talent at smashing metal into useful shapes.
Last week he was all thumbs, now he's back at it, hammer & tongs! I miss the manual shaping when he's got that hammer just singing away on the old anvil.
Who needs a foundry when Mr Engle is in the house. That is looking quite nice for a replacement piece. Job well done, Sir.
Outstanding work!
Just when I think I can no longer be amazed, I get amazed all over again. Beautiful work. I can't wait 'til next Tuesday.
Don't forget about Friday's😊
I once took an art history class and the professor was talking about Michelangelo and how he was such a great sculptor for creating his famous "David'. Being a young smart alec, I said he wasn't all that great of a sculptor because the David was already in the block of marble and all Michelangelo did was chip away the stone that was covering it.
😊👍👍
Dave, You may not be the best practitioner of the individual trades that go into restoring antique wagon, but are surely the DECATHLON CHAMPION!
And you must be a top 3 wheelwright and carpenter.
I asked a sculptor the same thing as a teenager. He said the same thing. When I became a barber I understood perfectly. Just cut everything away that doesn't look like a good haircut. 44 years later, it still makes perfect sense to me. And like a tree, every haircut is different.
Right away, as I was thinking,"Why not fabricate out of steel and weld up a replacement", I knew Dave was going to fire up the coal and bring some cold lump of steel to life; just did not expect that much ofa transformation from a block to the artistic curvaceous footplate bracket. Thanks Dave.
I figured you could do it, but I couldn't see how. Dave, your skills are amazing!
Well done, sir. Well done, indeed!
It takes talent,determination and creativity,I think you got all the bases covered ,thanks Dave and Diane for another outstanding video🤗😎🤗😎
The AMAZING MR. Wizard does it again, works his Magic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always a joy to watch you take me back to my youth. Thank you Dave for taking us along on this journey! You are a true craftsman!
@4:39 Nice jump cut edit Dave!
bringing peace to my mind
Great work so far!
WOW ! Great one, Diane and Dave ❤
Thanks Dave for allowing me to watch over your shoulder as once again you reveal your skills. God Bless you and Mrs. Engels.
I'm astonished that Dave lacks a sand casting setup. No matter; he has elves. I know he has elves, because I'm quite certain that hammermill runs on magic. :D
Dave Engel is a master of MANY TRADES and Jack of the BLOODY LOT Gday from down under
Coming along great Dave regards from Liverpool England
Amazing forging skills, We all knew your on top of it.... Cheers
I’m pretty darn close hey come out a lot better than I was expecting that he gave me a guestroom ideas on a few projects I’m coming up against thank you very much for illustrating that
Yep, looks just like a tree. Magic work there.
The thing is, that twisted piece of flat bar took the Smith probably 15 to 20 minutes to make from start to finish. And for a manure spreader, that is perfectly fine step support. To be able to duplicate a shape is one thing. To be able to fix the problem during lunch brake is a different thing.
Engels Coach Shop and Foundry. 👍👍👍
Thank you for making some of the most interesting videos on you tube. You are truly a master of, if not all trades, most of them!
That's a fantastic bit of fabrication 👍👍👍👍
You bought a new press. That power hammer is quite a tool as well.
Brilliant craftsmanship.
"Better to have to much iron than not enough." Yes sir, I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.
knew he could
Brilliant.
You can beat anything into submission with the right hammer.
I have seen youtube videos where they 3D print an item then produce a mold from it. They mostly do that with Brass or Aluminum because it requires much less heat that Cast Iron, but that is something that you may want to learn. It could open up a new dimension to the way you do your job.
I just love watching you work amazing
Not the best idea to watch this with a hangover, but an excellent video as always. Thanks!!!
That looks ambitious.
Dave my wood carving buddy teacher told me the same thing I've been carving for about 16 year's
With big hammers you can turn metal into any shape the leson I learnd today
Priceless shot at 15:57.
It sure doesn't look like a step in that shot. lol
What a great video.
It's so much better than the 'lets make another knife or axe' that most 'blacksmiths' have on You Tube.
Takes a lot of skill to not just forge it but in reverse for the other side, very impressive.
For a wheelwright, you sure do need a lot of other skills. 👍👍👍
The power hammer is so sweet . Wish I had one
There's just something comforting about a blacksmithing video, you can almost smell the coal forge. Dave is incredible in his skills.
For me it was the smell of all that grinding!
The old saying , if you put your mind to it you can do it, Dave is just that example, and look what he has done so far.
Well done my friend,well done!! Keep up the good work!! R and W
Ha ha Dave the tree carving story never grows old 🎉
Great work, ❤ as usual 😂
😅
@@dianeengel4155 is this Mrs Dave ??? 🖖
@@soylentgreen326 Yes. 😀
@@dianeengel4155 you are both an inspiration ❤️🏴
I've been following this channel for a few years now, and I find that if I am trying to fabricate something (be it wood, metal etc), I start thinking to myself "How would Dave approach this?" Great stuff
It looks great, and no one will be able to do a side by side comparison once they are installed on the coach.
I like Black Smithing. I did it for years
Like the little tree, I think I can, I think I can..and he does
That was The Little Engine...
You are amazing.
+AMAZING!
Very impressive.
Don't forget to add the sand texturing at the end.
He will run it through the sand blaster before pickling the patina.
20:35 The saying is, "Good enough for Government Work!"
Always amazed and impressed 👍! Had an eighth grade art teacher t
Carving Steel!❤
What is next? Making horse shoes? Ha Ha Great work Dave making one thing into something useful.
great job looks nothin like it first did
As i have said on one of his other fixes; - Just like a Bought one!
