What your giving to the future generations is priceless. I really like these "Teaching Style" videos! In the future somebody will be referencing your videos to build a wagon wheel. Your knowledge "Needs" to be past on. I truly thank you for making these videos.
My Granddad worked like you from 1900 to 1935. I never understood, what exactly he was doing. Through you, I now have a hell of a respect and understanding of his work and it makes me appreciate him and his work so much more. Bless him and you.
It was so good to see you making wheels again. In the past it got to a point where I knew what you were going to do next, which was great. Seeing this again I still could follow along with an idea of what was the next step.
I never had any idea how much work goes into to something so simple looking.. I have been following since you built the borax wagons and enjoy every video you make.
I REALLY enjoy watching you work !! Ever since I saw you building those Borax Wagons, way back, I've been following you on your channel !! You are certainly a very gifted man and God has blessed you accordingly !! Keep 'em coming my friend !!

Like you said: you couldn’t finish all the hub because you ran out of week before you ran out of work, but my question to you is you will like all of us eventually run out of life, is there someone that you know with this same passion for what you marvelously do to take over, because like a lots of old and very old trade we lost the way to do
A LONG time ago, my Freshman machine shop teacher told me, if you ever need to turn wood, use a metal lathe. (Oh, 1972.) Good to see David following his advice. steve
Once again your craftsmanship is outstanding. So much had work goes into these wagons. I would think that for the original builders, without all the power equipment this would have taken 3 to 4 times longer. But maybe they had specialty tools that aided them as well. Possible belt driven. Thanks very much for sharing.
Hi Dave, I've built a lot of things, with a lot of different materials. From one offs, to production, and a wide variety of construction. The way you do things, jigged up, fast without cutting corners, absolutely impresses me. There are a lot of "tinkering" channels when it comes to old tech. Sir, you get it done. Thanks for sharing, it's gotta be a PITA dragging those cameras around.
Hi Dave, I think you need to make another clever tool to add to your arsenal . I suggest some sort of press adapter to press on the rings onto the hubs rather than hammering them on by hand . It would speed up the operation and possibly reduce the amount of scorched wood that can be seen. I find the fusion of wood and metal work in your videos facinating. Best wishes from Wales.
I have always liked the way you have fabricobbled things together to make the things that you do. Necessity is a mother! I like the way that you use the machinist lathe to turn wood. Thanks for the entertaining videos.
I agree. What I find really amazing is that wagons and wheels were around long before lathes. At least before lathes like we think of them. So people were essentially doing it by hand and thinking how can we make this easier or quicker or stronger or more repeatable and so on over a lot of years. It required people to pay attention to details and pass what they learned on to others while wiling to accept their best efforts could be improved on by others. It's a trait not commonly found with today's workforce with engineered lifespans and wrote assembly work. But to take modernish tools like the lathe and accomplish much of the same of the past while keeping parts made 100 plus years ago in service at the same time is rather remarkable to me.
Is great to see history come to life once again. Is very interesting, I can see that is a lots of work, at the end is worth every peny. Thanks for sharing 👍God bless. Kind regards from London Ingland 🇬🇧
Gives new profound appreciation to those who built them centuries ago...wo the modern tools! Can't imagine punching out the spoke holes (rectangles) back then! Would they have used a hand crank drill then squared off w a chisel..bit by bit? 🤔 😳 It was all HARD WORK!
Love your work. I have used my metal lathe at times for wood. I can't imagine back in the frontier days the blacksmith having such equipment. Thank you so much for sharing this bit of historical work.
This is an very interesting video for me and i like watching your progress in building the hubs. I think in Germany the wheelwrights used oak instead of ash.Great, Thanks
Good day the more I watch this the more I like wood turning ,,You must have a good brain to remember all and the tolerances are unreal ..I really enjoy watching ❤️👍👍👍👍🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸
Your wood working skills and metal working skills are absolutely amazing. how you can look at a piece of kindling and know what it looked like new.hope you can pass on your gift.
That was really interesting, seeing hubs made from scratch like that. Wow that's a lot of work. Seems like good, old, stable blanks would be worth a lot too. Those were some hefty chunks of wood.
I've been watching you make wheels & all that it takes to machine the hubs out. You are very good at everything you do. To me making the hubs has got to be the most time consuming and pain in the BUTT to make. Now I know why they made the C&C machine for (*.*)
a vanishing art and still cool to watch ... simple .... just a ton of fiddly little things to add up into one complex part . the art KNOWING which little thing to do in what order
"I ran outta week before I ran outta work" You're the best, Dave!
"Ran outta week before I ran outta work" Boy if that ain't a phrase for the ages right there!! Love the channel, love the vids sir. Hats off to you!
Amazing Godly gifted; thank YOU for allowing us into your world. God Bless you and Mrs. Engels.
Once again, Dave: Thanks so much for allowing us to tag along.
Some of your jigs are probably the only ones in existence. Very enjoyable time spent!
He did have to modify that mortiser special to suit his needs (he even did a video on the process).
Clearly one of the best channels on RUclips.
It’s a pleasure to watch an artisan create those beautiful and useful works of art. Thanks!!!
As a retired Industrial Arts teacher, I always take pleasure in watching your videos. No computer technology, just good basic skills. 👌
Always a pleasure to see you at work.🍀
Always a pleasure to watch you at work, Dave. Please keep up making videos for us!
Doesnt matter how many times he does the same thing, it's as interesting as the first time you saw it!
I miss the wagon wheel builds. Always fascinated by your work.
I'm always amazed how much abuse all those wheels can take, and yes, they are rough when he takes the old ones apart
I always remember to like the video even before I see it, because I love every video Mr Engels puts up.
You are the king of homemade jigs!
Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 25 Feb 22.

dont you just love it when they do something really with ease but it has taken a lifetime to learn
My Granddad worked like you from 1900 to 1935. I never understood, what exactly he was doing. Through you, I now have a hell of a respect and understanding of his work
and it makes me appreciate him and his work so much more. Bless him and you.
Love to see all the hand crafted jigs and fixtures!
Spellbinding. I see so many little details in the work process that ensure a successful end product. Thanks, Dave.
It was so good to see you making wheels again. In the past it got to a point where I knew what you were going to do next, which was great. Seeing this again I still could follow along with an idea of what was the next step.
Thanks Dave. I never get tired of watching you build hubs. Hope you and Dianne are thawing out up there. LOL See you next week.

Seems like every job I do around my place, I run out of week before I run out of work. I really like watching you work, you make this look so easy.
Very interesting, very educational, very informative, very knowledgeable. Thanks

Two years later and I get an answer for someone wanting to know what the metal shaft was . Thanks for mentioning the " boxing "
Thanks for taking the time to show this. Seeing the mortiser and your indexing jig was a treat!
Absolutely fascinating, really great to watch, thank you.Bob Bristol ,Great Britain.
Another reminder if it were needed, of the breadth of your skill set. Making hubs could be a trade on it's own.
And another outstanding episode, you are one handy fella,thank you for all your efforts🙂😋🙂😋
You are an amazing craftsman. Live the videos

Buen dia,desde argentina!!!gracias maestro por estos videos,cuanta enseñanza,lo veo siempre.
Best minutes of the week! Enjoying some wonderful craftsmanship!! 🤩
Appreciate all the hard work you do a n for sharing have a day love from TEXAS
LOVE WATCHING YOU WORK YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY!
Dave, really enjoy these short videos which serve as a refresher to me on how you do things in the shop. Thank you for putting them together for us.
Thanks again my young friend...🌬🌠🙏🤩👀👍
If you ever decide you want an apprentice it would be amazing to learn from someone with your experience and skill.

Such accurate dimensions turned out of wood.

Once again thanks for the video.
There's alot involved in making a Hub but you make it look so easy, thanks for sharing Dave 👍
Thank you, sir, for once again sharing what is almost a lost art.
Fascinating to watch you build these wagons
That was amazing you are a master craftsman!!!!!!
I have always liked the way you have fabricobbled things together to make the things that you do. Necessity is a mother! I like the way that you use the machinist lathe to turn wood.

Dave, thanks again for information and entertainment
Great stuff....as usual....Thanks Dave!!
Nice episode, thanks for that.
great device for measuring internal and external circumferences!
Really interesting process. So beautiful
I googled wood wagon wheel and you were there. I think that is neat!
It's amazing what you can accomplish with a lathe. a machine of many task's. thanks for sharing. ECF

lots of hard work and skill. back in the day they had no power tools and had to do it all by hand. great video. take care, be safe and well.
Have a great weekend, Thank You for the education.
Thanks for the video! I definitely learned something new today.

Thank you so much for sharing this bit of historical work.
Very interesting and informative. 👍🏼
I have always wondered how one of those hubs was made! A heck of a lot of steps. Very cool process!
Always so nice to watch you Sir
Респект мастеру!!! Здоровья и удачи!!!
very good video excellent work.
Beautiful work.
Why does nobody tell him not to wear Jean shirts and pants together!? He is making a fool of himself.
What a amazing craft, craftsman, your a pleasure to watch.

Шикарная работа! Я в восторге!
FIRST CLASS !!!!!!
Amazing how it all works to make a strong wheel
Your wood working skills and metal working skills are absolutely amazing. how you can look at a piece of kindling and know what it looked like new.hope you can pass on your gift.
Always a pleasurable and fascinating experience to watch your videos Sir!!! Thanks for sharing!
Very nice work
This never gets old, wonderful craftmanship!
It all makes perfect simple sense when he is done, I guess i over think some of this stuff
Very Educational
Love your videos
Thanks Dave 73 AB7RR Bob God Bless America
GREAT JOB, TELL EVERYBODY HELLO...GREAT VIDEO
That was really interesting, seeing hubs made from scratch like that. Wow that's a lot of work. Seems like good, old, stable blanks would be worth a lot too. Those were some hefty chunks of wood.
Love the faint background music.
I love watching! Very interesting! Makes me wonder how it was done back in the day without an Engine Lathe??
I've been watching you make wheels & all that it takes to machine the hubs out. You are very good at everything you do. To me making the hubs has got to be the most time consuming and pain in the BUTT to make. Now I know why they made the C&C machine for (*.*)
Thanks for posting. Love these videos
Probably go through a lot of gasses for the torch and forge,Great video
