You are the 'James Bond' of coach building and as entertaining to watch. Which reminds me to appreciate the behind-the-scenes work that you and your better-half do like inventory, tool and shop maintenance, billing and paying the bills and the camera set-ups, editing, and sequencing and narration. Yours is truly a remarkable, well-done, production. Thank you.
A BIG AMEN to that !! @michaelwrenn4993 I have been following Dave since I saw him make those huge Borax wagons and have been 'hooked' on his channel ever since !! A truly amazing craftsman, ably assisted from time-to-time by his wife, Diane !!
Your videos are like medicine, always remove negative thoughts. All of my ancestors were farmers and i am IT engineer. Your videos truly reminds me that I am still a farm loving villager. I will pray for you health and wellbeing as farmer from other side of the world.
My heart fell through the floor at 00:14, and I held my breath until ..."winding up the preservation of this old...", which seemed like an eternity, but going back over it was just a few seconds. In a flash, I felt the strength of my deep appreciation and attachment to these amazing and awesome videos coming out of EngelsCoachShop. Please keep 'em coming, Dave!!!! Thanks for all you do.
Too bad there are always those who feel the need to criticize. The way I see it you are the only one in this group who knows what the customer wanted and what you agreed to provide, so you are the only one who can make that assessment. As always; thanks for allowing us to tag along on your amazing journey..
It's like watching the creation of a sculpture , I'm ever impressed by talent and care , smithing , wheelwrights, people who make things of beauty by the sweat of their brow 👍🇬🇧
Thanks for accommodating my advance OCD by aligning all the nuts parallel and perpendicular. That was so satisfying to witness. Maybe I'm not alone in this world!
Ricardo, I also appreciate the OCD, I'm in the same boat. But let me ask you, do you suffer from CRS, can't remember S*ht, cause I set the wrench down then can't remember where I set it down at.............
a laborer is one who works with his hands, a craftsman is one who works with his hands and his head, and an artist is one who works with his hands, head, and heart. you sir, are an artist
Not everyone can appreciate the varied skills it takes to be able to make or restore these piles of iron and wood. These early examples of transportation that got the world moving. It's such a joy watching these brought back to life.
I actually followed this when you were doing the project and enjoyed the following along as you call it. You just don't have to all the time do a full restoration like the Borax Wagon project. It's just the "what does client want and how much to do? Thanks Dave and all for the wonderful "tag along"
Some folks just don't understand what you have to do to make it work, and told not to do to much!! Good job really enjoyed the video!! Keep Up The Good Work!! R and W
At 22:22 we see him place a "carriage bolt" into a square hole in the metal piece, and bolt it to the wood. At 70, I have been doing woodworking, and ALL house repairs, my whole life. I have bought uncountable numbers of carriage bolts from my local hardware store, but I have never used them for the function they were named for. Thanks Engle's Coach Shop. That was wonderful to see.
No two people will think the same and it should be done there way. Seems to me you are the pro at your job and you know what is wright or wrong. Your work is over the top and you have a built in level when it comes to drilling. The best part as of right now no thumbs down. Thank you Mr Engels
I like your projects, always a new perspective for me. I listen to the comments . You are the only one talking to me some days. And it is so comforting listening to your hammer tapping in the background, just like having my own shop.
I don't see how anyone could say you went too far in this restoration. As near as I can tell, everything you replaced was almost dust. I expect the owner will be entirely pleased. Thank you for sharing.
Just brilliant, Dave. Did you go too far? Surely not. The goal is to preserve not necessarily just the materials that you received, but also the function of the wagon; as well as to give viewers a realistic - indeed, an authentic - understanding of what a vehicle like that would truly have looked like. You respected what could reasonably be saved and did an incredibly sympathetic re-creation of the bits that couldn’t. I love it!
You do great work on these old wagons. I am amazed that the knowledge that you have on them. I was a cowboy all my life but not once was I ever acquainted with horse drawn wagons or buggies.
I learn something new everytime I watch one of your projects. Such a pleasure to watch a craftsman restoring and replacing parts for these old wagons. I'm a carpenter/cabinetmaker, but your mastery of the tools required for your specialty are fun to discover. Wish I had a shop and a use for some of the great tools you use for metal. Just would be fun to learn. Thank you for sharing your talent.
You sir are an artist of a trade that is quickly vanishing I'm glad you are taking the time to document what this trade involves and the commitment that it requires so thanks for doing what you do to try and preserve a trade that may soon fade in time hopefully there are some in the younger generations that may pick up this so it'll will never be forgotten
I've ridden on a lot of cotton wagons pulled by the old Farmall B after the mules got old and retired, I enjoy all your videos no matter what they are about. Old farmers fade away when they can't be patched up anymore !
It’s a pleasure to watch your hands work. I have a mechanically-talented friend who has said to me from time to time while itching to take over from my fumbling about reaching backwards around something, “I’ve got pretty good eyes in my fingers, you know.” I think skill can live right there in our hands, and I take pleasure from watching you demonstrate just that.
From what I have seen from prior videos you have done only the required repairs! You have done excellent repairs not to make it not look new. It’s old farm and ranch equipment. You do excellent work!
Dave is the one there putting his hands on the actual materials and knows best what can be saved and what cannot. A piece of wood that may look fine could be punky or rotten in ways that can't be knows to the viewer. Nice work on this project. Looks awesome.
Good evening Dave, been out of pocket a little, lots going on but under control so I’ll get back to watching videos again. You did a fantastic job on the salvage job. You have your standards in YOUR workmanship and they are higher than most because of your work ethics. I admire you for your standards!!👍👍 I understand the not wanting to be to slow, or being to fast and NEVER being halffast!! You my friend leave your signature on everything you do and can be proud, always. Thanks for sharing with us and keep up the great work and videos. Fred.
My Grandfather, who immigrated from Ireland along with my Grandmother, raised a family with four children, during the depression, on a 40 acre farm (the Land Grant) with two mules. In 1949 (the year I was born), he bought a Ford 8N (still around today). For many years, and on weekends, I would watch him cross-use between the mules and the tractor, and cross-purpose the implements that were previously only used with the mules. Large land use (mowing pastures, plowing, and planting) were done exclusively with the tractor, while cultivating growing crops could only be done with the mules. In contrast to today's measure, he was an amazing man, who provided well for his family during some really tough times. I really miss working with him, and his inspiration.
I love to watch work. You have tremendous methodology in all you do. No fooling around just go from start to finish. You have the coolest tools too. I learn so much just watching you and enjoy every minute. Thanks for great videos!
Dave you inspire me with your videos to strive to do a better job at whatever I may be repairing, or making. You are truly a Master Craftsman and it is a real pleasure watching and being in the shop with you. Great job on the time lapse videos with the new camera! It has made your videos the best ever due to the increase in their content level. Warm wishes and may God bless and keep you!
I'm not an expert. I'm a beginner, a novice. In fact because of my benign tremor syndrome (shaky hands) there are certain power tools in the wood shop the Club will not let me operate. (and that doesn't bother me) I just really enjoy watching you fabricate and rebuild the history of the old west. Thank you!!
Watching Dave work on these old wagons makes me appreciate the ingenuity people had back in the day. Seeing it all slide into place perfectly was satisfying to see. It boggles the mind thinking about how they were able to build all this stuff without electricity, hydraulics, power tools, welders, torches, etc.
I am always impressed by your ability to quickly drill from one side of a hole and hit the other side. Even on a compound surface. I guess practice does make perfect
I know very little about the build aspect of a wagon. After watching you i am even more convinced it would take me forever to do what you did in this video. I appreciate a Craftsman. It is fun to watch someone who knows what he is doing. Thank you for continuing to educate guys like me out here that love to make Chuckwagons for everyone.
I laughed at a memory I had as a very young teenageger, when my 2 cousins and myself were allowed to build a canoe. the memory came when my uncle, who was a joiner cabinet maker, drew the lines of the bulkheads onto a plywood sheet, just as Dave was making his cardboard template, but unlike Dave, there were many short lines together to make the curves, which did the job. we were allowed to cut a bulkhead out each on the bandsaw, myself 1st, then my eldest cousin, then finally the youngest. At his turn, there were a mass of lines to follow and he was a bit confused and asked his Dad " what lines do I follow" to which the reply was, " weren't you watching, the last ones I made Son" Isn't it funny how such a small action by Dave, suddenly bought up such a wonderful memory from 55yrs back. Thank you
Good thing you put the cardboard down on the floor before you stained/painted! It looked like the slaughterhouse floor when you got done!😂 Love Friday’s all because of you!
You did a great job, your attention to detail and your ability to blend the new and old is very impressive. Watching you build those old wagons takes me back to watching my dad do some of the similar work and the wagons that we used around the ranch. Ours were modernized to have rubber tires but a lot of the mechanics are the same. Thank you for all the preservation work that you do and for the videos that bring it home to us.
Hey Dave good to see you once again, I have noticed that when you put the final torque on a tap you always place them in matching arrangement, I learned that from my Dad who was the primer cotton gin mechanic from Texas to Virginia (we live in South Carolina) and I worked under him as his apprentice for seven years so right now I am going throughout my house removing the switch covers and receptacle covers and blowing out all the dust and checking all contact points for tightness but when I put the screws by in I make sure they are in alignment to show quality craftsmanship...
Watching you work is really relaxing and enjoyable and not just entertaining, buy quite a learning experience. Reminds me of watching my father work in the machine shop. He was a machinest/toolmaker along with other things. Quite enjoyable.
I watched so many of you videos that I can recognize the sound of you setting wood/psrts down on the table saw cover; it has a unique sound. Thank you for the education and enjoyment over the years.
Before you started the preservation on this old wagon it wasn't to useable but now it looks like an old wagon waiting to be used. Thanks for the preservation series. Keep them coming Dave.
Hi Dave, thanks for the video, it's a nice sympathetic restoration, I think you did just enough to it to meet the required result, full mark's. Looking forward to the next one, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
I get home, fix supper, and sit down to watch when I get a call from my 14 yr old daughter "Hey Dad, whatcha doin?" "I'm watchin' my wagon show" "Oh really? What's Dave working on today?" yep...she's mine alright, raised her right hehe
Excellent video as always. I really enjoyed watching you work your magic refurbishing what needed to be repaired and oiling the old. Keep up the good work.👍🇨🇦
Thank you again for sharing your skills and craftsmanship. It is somehow satisfying to see that our woodworking techniques are so close for so many things, yet I ALWAYS learn something new, i.e. the way you used that hot rod to align those holes. You have the coolest tools for getting your metal to bend perfect. Much more efficient than the "hard way" I've always had to use (don't do enough metal to justify special tools). As always, the finished piece is magnificent. Bravo, master coach builder.
Dave, I think this is the first time I've seen you use a nokogiri. Maybe this was the first time you showed through tennons and blind pegs. Your skills continue to amaze me. Thanks for the lesson!
EngelsCoachShop ... I am a Mr. Fix-It in my own right and I come no where near your level. I have never enjoyed a restoration video as much as watching your series. I look forward to checking out the rest of your library.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work on this. There's no way you're going to do anything other than your way; it has your mark on it everywhere. You are a master at your craft.
Looks fantastic, would be great to see the finished wagon after all your amazing work on the undercarriage. A pleasure as always watching your craftsmanship Dave and enjoy your weekend. Best wishes from the UK!
Well Sir, from me great work. Anyone say you do too much or too little? They are not doing the work and I for one would not try to tell you how to do what you do! Given tHF at a heavy sheep home is going on the running gear, it has to be able to suport it! Plus some one will get inside and or ride in it. So the whole thing has to be safe. You are the right guy for the job! Great work.
What an absolute pleasure it is to watch you work! I especially like the line boring with a hot rod - that's cunning. Also, great job on the editing - just the right blend of stuff left out and interesting material left in. Thanks, keep it up, stay safe.
I have watched your channel for a few years now and I am ALWAYS AMAZED with your knowledge and craftsmanship. I have learned much from you about woodworking and will continue to do so. I also hope that at some point I will be able to take a drive from Spring Grove, PA and visit.
Love watching you do what only a few are able to do, and your work is Beautiful and superb . , thank you Sir for teaching people like me how it is done , and nothing but the very best to you and your health and your great work.
*Thanks, Dave, for showing us the huge preservation rebuilding job; done to the level that matched you and your client's understanding of **#WhatIsNeeded**; and what would satisfy your proper sense of honor. I very much enjoy watching and feeling the work done cleanly and well, with the speed of accomplished craft that can only come from deft experience. It is all very satisfying for me to see you feel accomplished in a job ended and well done.*
Just like in life there will always be someone somewhere, usually that has no idea what they’re talking about, that will say you’re doing it wrong. That’s the time to press the “lalala can’t hear you” button. Great job Dave, a nicely sympathetic restoration.
A well done "just enough" repair job! My dad once called farmers the best and worse mechanics of all time. Farmers are good at making quick repairs so they can get the job done, but they never re-do the job to make it right. Farmers always have more work as soon as they are done with one job, so they just keep going and hope for the best. That wagon is a prime example of a farmers plight; who ever owned it never had time or the material to go back and make the repairs as they should have been made.
I sure am glad that somebody's out there able to make all of those joints come together like they're supposed to. Great job Dave, thanks again for sharing the process to the beautifilul end results.
Thank you for taking the time to show us your work, you are a True craftsman sir!
We need more people like him in this world a dieing bread 👍❤️
That there is a fine example of what ya call CAD! "Cardboard Aided Design"
My thoughts exactly!
You beat me to it, I was going to say "Nice to see you using CAD in your work" LOL
Cheers!
Cyrus Cosmo...my beer slabs come wrapped in cardboard, the best quality and virtually waterproof...I always save it for exactly this purpose...👍🏻
LOL......I HEARD THAT
You are the 'James Bond' of coach building and as entertaining to watch. Which reminds me to appreciate the behind-the-scenes work that you and your better-half do like inventory, tool and shop maintenance, billing and paying the bills and the camera set-ups, editing, and sequencing and narration.

You paint a pretty complete picture. Thanks.
A BIG AMEN to that !! @michaelwrenn4993

Thanks for all you do.
Same here... *whew* !!
I never cease to be amazed at your craftsmanship and ability. I really enjoy your videos.
Enjoyed every minute of it ,the more restoring the longer it will last
Too bad there are always those who feel the need to criticize.

Thanks for accommodating my advance OCD by aligning all the nuts parallel and perpendicular. That was so satisfying to witness. Maybe I'm not alone in this world!
I smile every time I see the square nuts lined up... A kindred spirit for sure.
The mark of a true craftsman who cares about the quality of his work.
No, don't think it's OCD, professionalism and making it pleasing to the eye like lining up the slots on screw heads, making it 'just so'.
Ricardo, I also appreciate the OCD, I'm in the same boat. But let me ask you, do you suffer from CRS, can't remember S*ht, cause I set the wrench down then can't remember where I set it down at.............
You're not.. I OCD all the time
a laborer is one who works with his hands, a craftsman is one who works with his hands and his head, and an artist is one who works with his hands, head, and heart. you sir, are an artist
Not everyone can appreciate the varied skills it takes to be able to make or restore these piles of iron and wood. These early examples of transportation that got the world moving. It's such a joy watching these brought back to life.
I guess I especially like the way you showed the mixing of the oil and oil-based paint. That inspired me to do something similar.
I actually followed this when you were doing the project and enjoyed the following along as you call it. You just don't have to all the time do a full restoration like the Borax Wagon project. It's just the "what does client want and how much to do? Thanks Dave and all for the wonderful "tag along"

I completely agree. We should all strive to be a craftsman like he is, no matter what our respective fields are.
Good job. That wagon tongue is hell for stout and aligned perfectly.
Just brilliant, Dave. Did you go too far? Surely not. The goal is to preserve not necessarily just the materials that you received, but also the function of the wagon; as well as to give viewers a realistic - indeed, an authentic - understanding of what a vehicle like that would truly have looked like.

It has made your videos the best ever due to the increase in their content level. Warm wishes and may God bless and keep you!
Mr Engles, Your videos are pure magic, should be recognised as effective treatment for depression!
I'm not an expert. I'm a beginner, a novice. In fact because of my benign tremor syndrome (shaky hands) there are certain power tools in the wood shop the Club will not let me operate. (and that doesn't bother me) I just really enjoy watching you fabricate and rebuild the history of the old west. Thank you!!
Watching Dave work on these old wagons makes me appreciate the ingenuity people had back in the day. Seeing it all slide into place perfectly was satisfying to see.

I am always impressed by your ability to quickly drill from one side of a hole and hit the other side. Even on a compound surface. I guess practice does make perfect
It's like a goddamn woodworking magic trick every time! :)
Notice how he puts finger opposite the hole he's drilling. It helps you aim.
@@wayneclarke9055 Drill bits are magically attracted to fingers!
We call it a "Carpenters eye".
Actually, practice makes permanent. But when the practioner's goal is perfection, you get Dave.
I know very little about the build aspect of a wagon. After watching you i am even more convinced it would take me forever to do what you did in this video. I appreciate a Craftsman. It is fun to watch someone who knows what he is doing. Thank you for continuing to educate guys like me out here that love to make Chuckwagons for everyone.
It's always nice when you see that there are still people who can master these old professions and also practice Super Explained Thank you👍👍👍👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
The design is unique. The planning is precision. However, the execution is far beyond description.
I laughed at a memory I had as a very young teenageger, when my 2 cousins and myself were allowed to build a canoe. the memory came when my uncle, who was a joiner cabinet maker, drew the lines of the bulkheads onto a plywood sheet, just as Dave was making his cardboard template, but unlike Dave, there were many short lines together to make the curves, which did the job. we were allowed to cut a bulkhead out each on the bandsaw, myself 1st, then my eldest cousin, then finally the youngest. At his turn, there were a mass of lines to follow and he was a bit confused and asked his Dad " what lines do I follow" to which the reply was, " weren't you watching, the last ones I made Son"
Isn't it funny how such a small action by Dave, suddenly bought up such a wonderful memory from 55yrs back. Thank you
Good thing you put the cardboard down on the floor before you stained/painted! It looked like the slaughterhouse floor when you got done!😂 Love Friday’s all because of you!
You just help make America, America. Thank you.
Craftsmanship at its finest. Wonderful work!
You did a great job, your attention to detail and your ability to blend the new and old is very impressive. Watching you build those old wagons takes me back to watching my dad do some of the similar work and the wagons that we used around the ranch. Ours were modernized to have rubber tires but a lot of the mechanics are the same. Thank you for all the preservation work that you do and for the videos that bring it home to us.
Glad it brings back good memories.
Thoroughly enjoyed and a lovely preservation of a tired old undercarriage.
Your judgement is worth more than the critics wining. Nice job, be proud.
You always give the customer more than expected, nothing wrong with that. Enjoyed this series very much!
Hey Dave good to see you once again, I have noticed that when you put the final torque on a tap you always place them in matching arrangement, I learned that from my Dad who was the primer cotton gin mechanic from Texas to Virginia (we live in South Carolina) and I worked under him as his apprentice for seven years so right now I am going throughout my house removing the switch covers and receptacle covers and blowing out all the dust and checking all contact points for tightness but when I put the screws by in I make sure they are in alignment to show quality craftsmanship...

Dave I've been following your videos for a couple of years now and you never disappoint. Thank You for sharing!
Saturday breakfast would not be Saturday breakfast without another masterclass from Mr Engels.
Thank you very much, Sir. Thoroughly enjoyed this peaceful time in your shop. Very Well done.
I watched so many of you videos that I can recognize the sound of you setting wood/psrts down on the table saw cover; it has a unique sound. Thank you for the education and enjoyment over the years.
Very nice work on this old undercarriage. It takes more work to restore and make it look weathered than to make it new.
Keep up all that good work you do on all your video's. I enjoy every one that you make. Take care and God Bless.
Amazing display of old time blacksmithing repair. Beautiful restoration of old running gear. Thanks for your time in presenting this video
Enjoyed the video Mr Engel. Another very nice job. Thanks for taking us along on the preservation. Y'all take care and God bless.
Before you started the preservation on this old wagon it wasn't to useable but now it looks like an old wagon waiting to be used. Thanks for the preservation series. Keep them coming Dave.
Hi Dave,
Enjoyed watching the series. Hi to Diane. Stay safe.
Hi
You can't make a craftsman settle for a half assed job - that's why it's so good and enjoyable to watch.
Hi Dave, thanks for the video, it's a nice sympathetic restoration, I think you did just enough to it to meet the required result, full mark's. Looking forward to the next one, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.
This shows what a master you are in your profession. This is a very beautiful restoration .
I get home, fix supper, and sit down to watch when I get a call from my 14 yr old daughter "Hey Dad, whatcha doin?" "I'm watchin' my wagon show" "Oh really? What's Dave working on today?" yep...she's mine alright, raised her right hehe
I have a niece that is similar. She's as faithful as they come.
Excellent video as always. I really enjoyed watching you work your magic refurbishing what needed to be repaired and oiling the old. Keep up the good work.👍🇨🇦
I've said it before,I could watch you work all day
I admire your workmanship, greatly enjoyed thank you.

That's a lot of work and all of it very well done !
Dave, I think this is the first time I've seen you use a nokogiri. Maybe this was the first time you showed through tennons and blind pegs. Your skills continue to amaze me. Thanks for the lesson!
EngelsCoachShop ... I am a Mr. Fix-It in my own right and I come no where near your level. I have never enjoyed a restoration video as much as watching your series. I look forward to checking out the rest of your library.
Great job. Loved the fact that you saved every bit of timber and iron that was salvageable....well done 👍🏻
I always thank you for the time it takes to make your films for nothing too long a greeting from Catania
I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work on this. There's no way you're going to do anything other than your way; it has your mark on it everywhere. You are a master at your craft.
Great video series with this repair/restoration. Your skills in the trade are amazing, as well as your skill in your video presentations.
Looks fantastic, would be great to see the finished wagon after all your amazing work on the undercarriage. A pleasure as always watching your craftsmanship Dave and enjoy your weekend. Best wishes from the UK!
Well Sir, from me great work. Anyone say you do too much or too little? They are not doing the work and I for one would not try to tell you how to do what you do! Given tHF at a heavy sheep home is going on the running gear, it has to be able to suport it! Plus some one will get inside and or ride in it. So the whole thing has to be safe. You are the right guy for the job! Great work.
What an absolute pleasure it is to watch you work! I especially like the line boring with a hot rod - that's cunning. Also, great job on the editing - just the right blend of stuff left out and interesting material left in. Thanks, keep it up, stay safe.
I was going to post a thoughtful and grateful comment of all your hard work . I see there is a bunch of them already .
best Wishes Always. *
I have watched your channel for a few years now and I am ALWAYS AMAZED with your knowledge and craftsmanship. I have learned much from you about woodworking and will continue to do so. I also hope that at some point I will be able to take a drive from Spring Grove, PA and visit.
Love watching you do what only a few are able to do, and your work is Beautiful and superb . , thank you Sir for teaching people like me how it is done , and nothing but the very best to you and your health and your great work.
gosh did I enjoy the wagon preservation series,you bet I did,without a doubt.😁
*Thanks, Dave, for showing us the huge preservation rebuilding job; done to the level that matched you and your client's understanding of **#WhatIsNeeded**; and what would satisfy your proper sense of honor. I very much enjoy watching and feeling the work done cleanly and well, with the speed of accomplished craft that can only come from deft experience. It is all very satisfying for me to see you feel accomplished in a job ended and well done.*
I think you did a great job. I think you used every tool in your box on that old wagon.
Thank you for another great video. I love to watch you work, your attention to detail!
Yes, you did a wonderful job. That’s what I need done to mine.
Just like in life there will always be someone somewhere, usually that has no idea what they’re talking about, that will say you’re doing it wrong. That’s the time to press the “lalala can’t hear you” button. Great job Dave, a nicely sympathetic restoration.
A well done "just enough" repair job! My dad once called farmers the best and worse mechanics of all time. Farmers are good at making quick repairs so they can get the job done, but they never re-do the job to make it right. Farmers always have more work as soon as they are done with one job, so they just keep going and hope for the best. That wagon is a prime example of a farmers plight; who ever owned it never had time or the material to go back and make the repairs as they should have been made.
Beautiful craftsmanship! Thanks for documenting this!
this is a great example of craftmanship , which is getting fewer and fewer hope it carries on !
I have nothing but admiration for your skills Dave
Thanks for another good series Dave! Sometimes there are no more appropriate words than "it is what it is". All the best from Okieland!
No such thing as close enough with Dave Engels. What a joy to watch your skills are expertise. Thanks.
Great job sir. You should feel proud to stick that Tongue out at anyone.
Dave, You can't please everyone but l believe you did pretty good. There is always the safety aspect to consider, well done. I love your videos.
I sure am glad that somebody's out there able to make all of those joints come together like they're supposed to. Great job Dave, thanks again for sharing the process to the beautifilul end results.
