Wear out your welcome? No way you can wear out your welcome with these video's. OMG that is beautiful work, I think "modern society" has no idea of the true beauty, love, talent, experience that goes into doing this.
Basic knowledge, experience, willingness, ability, determination , courage, and , attention to minute details, mixed all together , results in one and only one outcome, I mean, precision and perfection.
Every evening my 80 year old father-in-law and his 78 year old brother come to our place for a cup of hot tea and evening snack. Whenever you have a new video we watch it as our entertainment while we drink our tea. We get lost in conversation and of course my FIL reminisces of those old days when they used some of these old style hand me down wagons here on the ranch.
There are even some old parts and wheel hubs around here. We all marvel at all your tools and equipment and the detailed work you do and for me its a great time just hearing history and the conversation while learning from your masterful work. Thank you for the videos and being part of this special time I share with these old timers.
Unfortunately, I can’t find the exact words to describe your magnificent achievement.
I must agree with a number of viewers. I've been watching your videos since the borax wagons build. You could never wear out your welcome. From Cody, JW
It takes a lifetime of work to have your knowledge. There is no wasted motion and your work is perfect. I am a weekend wood butcher. I salute you.
Too cool. Merging wood working with blacksmith, very inspirational
Forgive my bit of hero worship sir, but I’m not worthy to lick your boots! 😂 I have never seen such a combination of old world craftsmanship and journeyman level carpentry, not to mention your skills as a blacksmith fitter! Wow! I always wanted to be a carpenter but never got the chance, thanks for taking the time to make both the video and the beautiful wagon. A true heirloom for the next generation! 🇺🇸🙏🙏💪🤘
I worked on a ranch in the Kansas City area back in the early 70's and we had a blacksmith there that, at that time, was the oldest living blacksmith in the country. We had a collection of wagons that he kept up plus an 1880's stagecoach that he rebuilt from the ground up. Didn't get to watch a whole lot because of work but it was awesome to see it take shape. His name was Fred Weaver and he was in his late 80's or early 90's. He still rode, rolled his own cigarettes and drank 1889 whiskey and attributed it all to his old age.
Whenever a new video is posted it’s like all my Christmas’ and birthdays rolled one. It’s like you’re inviting me into your world for an all too brief stay. Also, it’s my opportunity to remember my Dad, his tools and skills-not on a par, or even near yours, he would be first to say. Still, the sights, sounds and yes, even the smells; are like a long cold drink after the dry, dead desert of this technological world (I do appreciate the irony of this statement).
You could never wear out your welcome with me!
What a fantastic piece of ironmongery !!!! Thanks and greetings from the UK
What a fantastic bit of both craftsmanship and knowledge. I am awestruck with each video. Thank you, thank you, for being willing to let us come along on this journey.
I can't get enough of watching you work, you are a master at what you do and your work is nothing short of beautiful! I envy your skill and knowledge!
I admire your craftsmanship. Wood working, ironworking, wheel wright; you're clearly a master in each discipline.
New Subscriber!
Reading through all the comments left so far , I cannot think what else I could possibly add. Thank you for the time you spend making these video's so others can share your work time and learn from your vast experience and skills that many of us can never hope to achieve.
P/S I see there is the usual 1thumb down. Must be from some one who hates to see skilled work being done.
A joy to watch. No risk of wearing out your welcome as far as I can see.
I never put much thought in to exactly how much work went in to building a wagon by hand before. Speeding up the video doesn't do the craftsman any justice in how much time is actually required. Thanks for taking the additional time to video the process!
Yes I think these should be put in a valt for future reference, this is better teaching than a trades college could offer. I say this from the advantages of being a blacksmith, cabinet builder, and
a stick builder of residential homes. I build homes from futtings to ridgecap on roof. These guys have done excellent work and video could not have been better. Sirs I give you a BIG TEN THUMS UP. GOD BLESS!!!
@6:49 I've always found the proccess of fitting metal to wood a very special thing to do. I have mainly done this when working with guns but love to watch you here. Reminds me of shoeing a horse.
These are the best videos on RUclips...
J Altenburg These vids are what youtube is about. Amazing talent and skill.
I just found this channel While you were building the Borax wagons as well and have viewed a lot of your videos since. They are fascinating and I will not tire of watching them.
It’s amazing to watch you shape metal and wood with ease. You are so precise in fitting parts together that I think those wagons will last much longer than he originals did.
Wow... there's a lot more metal work than I'd have thought.
Thanks for sharing. When you said sheep wagon you got my attention. Always impressed with your skill and your shop as well.
I sure wish I could apprentice under you. I've been a farrier and trainer for 27 years but I still no so little about the draft end of things. I love wood working but there are just so many intricacies to what you do to make them work correctly. I love your work.
Wonderful! I'm addicted to your channel!
My dad and brother are hobby furniture makers and they always say “measure twice, cut once.”
But this guy is a true Master….his eyeballs do the measurements. Truly amazing.
You aren't wearing out your welcome.Another outstanding vid.
My goodness, your skill and knowledge keep surprising and impressing me every time! I get why you're making these videos. Such knowledge is far and few between, and as with many other trades and crafts, (mine too over here) computers are taking over manufacturing and the knowledge is lost and dies out. You say thanks for watching, I say thank you for making these phenomenal videos.
I am a restoration sculptor, I copy old weathered stone sculptures into new stone. It requires a lot of skills and knowledge as well, just as your profession. Styles, anatomy, ornamentation, materials, etc etc.... Ever new, I love my job. Greetings, Koen
Congratulations, a jack of many trades and master of ALL. , whether woodwork, Blacksmithing , and anything else inbetween.
Regards
No, you can't wear out your welcome here either. I just really enjoy watching your amazing skills with wood and steel. Thank you
I agree with the comment below it is not possible to wear out your welcome with me please keep the camera rolling I could watch you for hours.
You are still very welcome here. Fascinating - the wheelwrighting may be the hard part, but the video-wrighting is top class as well. If I ever find a spare sway bar I think I will mount it on a wall as piece of art and a lesson in 3D design. Honestly I didn't even know wagons had sway bars before this, but they are very beautiful things.
This is high quality stuff . I can never get enough Mr. Eagles. Thank you so much for sharing. Rich in Illinois.
There is some old guy who makes wagons.
He posts videos of himself making the wagons.
I watch em.
I'm more impressed and inspired with Dave's mastery of his craft with each new video. He is a National Treasure.
You're very skilled with those electric hand tools ....as well as the non-electric!
I was mesmerized by your manufacture of the metal work, especially the sway bars.
I'm truly enjoying this wagon build, just keep producing your fantastic crafts' abilities....and sharing your knowledge, please!!
Thanks for the video.

Sir, your work putting all this on video has saved an amazing history of Wheelwright Cartwright etc for generations to come. And you give the rest of us such pleasure
i can watch what you do all day was a welder and mechanic for a mining company and a boiler maker in the navy for 10 years your abilities facinate me i also do wood work as a hobby
awesome, look forward to watching you every Saturday morning over breakfast. top workmanship
Dave, you are always welcome in my home. I watch you every week, and I am grateful for the knowledge you pass along to us.
You are amazing. I could watch you for hours...
You Sir are a true Craftsman of your art. Love watching the videos as I see things now in the way they were made many years ago. No way you could ever wear out your welcome here. Tom in Montgomery Texas.
he is the only man who knows what the angle of the dangle is
you wont wear out your welcome with me. even though it is in high speed most of the time watching you is a thrill. would love to sit and talk this stuff. I just hope there is someone you will pass this down to. not many people has that hand eye skill. thank you sir.
Truth. I'll never get tired of his videos, and feel the same about his knowledge. We're watching, but i hope there's an apprentice.
Yes I agree . I guess I am a sucker for things back in the day..
I have never been able to achieve the speed of your hammering and rasping, but I'm older than you. Thanks for the memories, as I have gone away from the hand work and into letting my machines do much of the fine details for me. One of my teachers once told me, the only reason for machines is for speed, you can do anything by hand. It took awhile to soak in, but that said I haven't cut a keyway with a chisel since I don't know when. You will never wear thin here with me. Mahalo [thanks] and I look forward to your next one. Aloha Chuck
Cartwright by name, Cartwright by occupation?
Any relation to Alexander Cartwright?
(You did say "mahalo.")
Alexander Cartwright brought baseball
to Hawaii, and some think HE was the
true "Father of Baseball.
Mahalo Nui Loa!

Awesome job Dave, sure glad I got to see this one, thanks for sharing with us. Now back to the rest of the build 👍👍. Fred
Functional art. Beautiful craftsmanship. If I needed a wagon, I would order one from you.
You are welcome to stay as long as you want. The craftsmenship you put into making each and every part is excellent and fits like a glove. This is truly a labor of love for the trade as seen in the care put into each piece. Thank you.
John from Wisconsin
Can’t wear out your welcome here. Just let the camera role. Thanks for sharing. I always wanted a Hossfeld Bender. Awesome tool. Used one many times. Highly versatile.
I never would have guessed at the intricate construction of these wagons. Thank you for sharing.
Yet another great video!! And thanks again for sharing your shop and putting the videos together!! Both take TIME and are much appreciated!!
Thank YOU! The visit was, indeed, a pleasure and a treat! It was nice of you to share time from your day with us. We did have a good visit with family and then went to retrieve the Project... The wings fit nicely on the trailer racks and the inside was completely FULL as well as the pickup box. It traveled well on the road, too, for which we are appreciative! Who can say when our paths may cross again :-) :-)
Fantastic workmanship !!!!!!! Have to be amazed at the builders back in the day that planed it all out then did it with the tools they had. Never be to long a video :) :)
Much more complexity in there than I would have expected. The basic concept seems so simple, but obviously years of experience demonstrated where enhancements are required.
Evening Mr. Engel. I know i've said this before but you sure do nice work. You truly have a God given gift to build wagons. Enjoy the videos. Thank you for taking the time to produce them. Take care and God bless.
Wonderful! God given talent and hard work.
Thank you very much for posting these, I have been watching them since the Borax wagons. My mom told me that her father built wagons and did both the metal and wood work. She also told me that he 'invented' the brake that is applied with a screw at the drivers seat instead of the lever that I see on your wagons.
Unfortunately I was never able to meet either of my grandfathers, this one passed away in 1945, three years before I was born but watching you work makes me feel as if I am able to know him a bit.
Thank you very much.
BTW I am no longer able to just see a wagon go by on the old TV shows like 'Laramie' or 'Death Valley Days', I look for the design features that I see in your wagons.
Carl
Thank you for the time and effort you put into making the videos showing the coachmaker's skill and artistry.
It would be great to take a tour of all the tool shop sometime :)
@@sustainableliving880 🔴 What Is Islam?
🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚
🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.
I've watched quite a few of your videos, one thing is becoming clearer, there is a huge part of what you do that comes from your eye and experience. You've shown us patterns and jigs galore, but in this episode it was obvious that the fit and shaping is coming from you. I'm guessing that back in the day, each wagon carried the quirks and foibles of its maker that could be recognised years after. Bit like a chair is a chair is a chair.
Thanks again. I remember looking at plenty of wagons and wondering why the suspension was the way it was. This helps out a lot to my understanding. Its good to realize that the suspension for these was as sophisticated of design as today's car suspensions. The use of materials available at the time (and without computer assistance) is spectacular.
I have a feeling you have done this work before! Love you videos! You are a wealth of information, Sir!
I was just going to ask what was nice looking bending tool and there it is in the comments below, a Hossfeld Bender. What a handy looking tool. Yes just keep that camera rolling.
It is somewhat amazing at how complex a simple thing like a wagon is.
You will never wear out your welcome on my iPad. Stay safe my friend
I am simply amazed every time I watch one of your videos, because of the level of craftsmanship over many art forms.
You're a true sculptor with that angle grinder. Love watching you work your magic!
Cant believe the amount of tools,jigs and fixtures you have Dave,acquired over many decades I presume,some bought, some made I would think.....Lovely work, I'm green with envy
dude u are the best ive seen at wood and steel work both ,wow
es admirable la habilidad que tienes, tienes barios oficios en uno, eres ,herrero carpintero, diseñador, carrero, " en mi país carrero se denomina al que fabrica, wagon" no me canso de ver tus vídeos, te felicito y te envió un gran abrazo desde Argentina continua así, larga vida al rey.
Amazing craftsmanship. Thanks for showing this build.
Absolutely excellent !! I've made those exact same parts myself, and they take time to make right. I must admit, I didn't know about the pins in the axle hounds. I learned something today. I'm retiring and moving to my ranch in Eastern Oregon in about two years. At that time, I plan to work in my blacksmith shop almost full time. Also at that time, I would really like to travel to your shop for a visit and meet you. That is, if you accept visitors :-)
I look forward to Fridays, Love watching.
Fascinating to watch a skilled craftsman.
You make it look so easy which is an indication of much experience and talent. Keep the videos coming.
You could never wear out your welcome here. Your craftsmanship and skill set is amazing. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you for another great video. You are a extremely talented craftsman.
I doubt that I will ever do your kind of work but I see a lot of great ideas that have other applications useful to me. Love the videos and you craftsmanship.
It occured to me that you appear to be building this wagon entirely from memory (minus plans), with templates and measurements of course. Very nicely done sir.
You will never wear out your welcome. Thanks.
Dave, you a quite a master at your craft well versed in all things that you work on.
It is indeed a pleasure to watch you practice your craft.
thanks again. can't wait for next video. thanks.
Fascinating details, such a broad set of skills!
Awesome craftsmanship ! Thanks
Wow, this is just amazing, There is not a material or tools this comfortable and calm man can`t handle or master. If lack of tools he make it. Whatever material you trows to him he do it to perfection. By watching these hypnotic videos I can`t stop wondering how these old craftsmen back than understood materials property, construction, torch, twisting and so on with the limited technology comparing to what we have to day. Is it a secret or could you share with us the refurbishment cost of this wagon or the Borax project?
Beautiful. You are a true craftsman.
Wonderful trade and your skills are top notch. I love watching.
Amazing. There is certainly a whole lot more technology in the basic wagon design than the average viewer of 1960s TV westerns (me) would have imagined. I have to wonder how quickly or slowly wagon technology developed.
You are an amazing craftsman!
You truly are a great craftsman, sir... A great joy to watch.
Its even worse, I have hackneys :-)
Excellent explanation, thanks.
Outstanding craftsmanship
Excellent video, very well edited, in addition to excellent vids you know a thing or two about building wagons. You do beautiful work. Thanks for taking the time to provide us who wish we had your skills with very entertaining lessons on wagon building. Thank you. JD in Missouri
I wish we had, like Japan, the ability to nationally recognize and acknowledge craftmanship of this caliber.
truely inspiring work true craftmanship
Fascinating to watch. Really enjoying your channel!
great iron work, thanks
There is a lot of metal work going in .love the way you make every piece fit .also love your mini anvil .keep up the good work .great watching hand made parts .👍👍
Absolutely fascinating. So clever of you.
Fascinating , hope there are apprentices to learn this craft
Fantastic work, a joy to watch and know these skills are still out there...
Sir. Your always welcome !
What wonderful work. An absolute joy to watch. Thank-you.
