I watched you build this from start to finish and what a beautiful job but you do need to have a considerable knowledge on where and how all those rotting wooden frames together with the associated ironwork actually go together. You not only have to be an excellent woodworker, but a blacksmith, wheel right and a truly broad knowledge of numerous horse drawn vehicles. I just love all your videos
True. Here in UK sourcing quality timber is very difficult. Its all chipboard, MDF and pine now! When you do source it, the likes of oak is around £70 cubic meter, plus delivery, plus vat (20%)!
Thanks for taking the time to share with us your professional ability to create wondrous memories of what the past did to make it all happen. Your skills are very much appreciated by all of us. Thanks for sharing.
Dave as always you make it look so easy. I want to thank you again for taking the time to see me last week, it was an honor. PS you were correct about bear tooth it was closed.
Dave, There is no doubt in my mind that you are a “Craftsman,” however, with this project I think you were a “Magician.” I see it but I don’t believe it. What an amazing job.
This was fascinating to watch. I kept pausing the video so I could absorb what was happening during the building process. Bird's eye view was a wonderful idea. I am enamored by your skills.
A wonderful way to spend a beautiful day, oiling the the undercarriage in partial shade. Wowzers, it doesn't get much better than that (well, if you added barbeque and your favorite beverage then it'd be better).
I just had a thought that I think is relevant- I watch your videos because you are a master at what you do. But that is only part. Another part is that you don’t just represent competence and sanity - you ARE competence and sanity. What weird times we live in. Bizarre time doesn’t do it justice. Watching a master at work and enjoying it knowing there is no hidden agenda or political intrigue etc- you renew my faith in humanity. As long as you make videos I will watch. Idea: I don’t know what your favorite charity is but what if you made something out of the pieces of steel you cut of the borax wagon wheel and sold it for yourself or for charity? I could see you forge a beautiful knife out of some of it. That would also make a great video that showcases your metal working skill in a slightly different light
I recently read something on Facebook that takes things up a notch. When a craftsman puts his heart into what he does, he's an artist, It's obvious that Dave puts everything into, what I'd call, masterpieces. He is a true artist of the trade. Even if the viewer never builds even the first piece of a wagon or wheel, he is inspiring everyone to be the best craftsman and artist in whatever they do.
I'm 71 and it is clear that I will never build a wagon wheel, let alone an entire wagon. but I eagerly await each of Dave's videos. I have learned an incredible amount of history along with considerable skills transferable to the woodworking I do and a sincere & deep respect for Dave and the work he does. Dave's steadfast dedication to his trade and to craftsmanship inspires me to be the best I can at the things I do.
I've been watching your channel for years and I'm always amazed at the number of parts there are in the undercarriage. As always beautiful work and thanks for sharing.
Good to see this the second time around and faster. Like bricklaying, one on top of two till the wall is finished. Of course, we did a lot of special stuff, too! Good to see you again, Greg.
love watching the tree video's as you take so much pride in the details, and the forest video at the end putting the trees into place was an added bonus
Hand full of parts and pieces of wood and this is what you came up with! Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it from the beginning. You are a Master Craftsman for sure Dave. Thank you so much for your continued involvement with documenting History so well. It's great. Fred.
I grew up in south central Nebraska in the ‘60’s and you used to see these old wagons rotting away all over the countryside. It brings me joy to see that some of them are getting saved.
I never get tired of watching skilled craftsmen who really know how to do a job to perfection. And it is not that often that you can find one as skilled and experienced as this gentleman.
Thumbs up,i am in tat group watching all the details,and look forward to the whole finished project,The black buggy was one i found all the videos and watched, the other was the sheep wagon you delivered to Idaho,,Want to sit and watch the Borax some time this fall
It is amazing to see the irons and the wood come together. Not only does it give it strength, but flexibility as well. It took centuries of innovation and design improvements to create these vehicles.
It strikes me that the cleanup after the handtools is also much easier than with power tools, not to mention the better tactile experience. Really enjoy watching your work.
I am a Sri Lankan carver. Very valuable videos. Watched many videos. Learned many things. I also wanted to build a cart. I will definitely make a cart and post a video. You are my teacher. Thank you very much.
Enjoyed the individual videos when I watched them, but really appreciated the “Reader’s Digest” version. Particularly fine editing. Very professional I thought. Thank you.
Thanks, Dave and company. I enjoyed the individual videos but particularly appreciated the “Reader’s Digest “ version. Very well done. Nice editing. Very professional.
I was amazed when I watched the original videos. I am even more amazed now, regarding how you took an "old rotted out undercarriage," and turned it into a quality piece of furniture!!!
So very cool... The amount of work that goes into this is incredible... Detail everywhere... I'd bet the Wheelrights back in the day would love to have your duplicator!!
It truly is a real pleasure to watch you work on these projects Dave, I wish I had your patience and skills. God bless you and your family and keep up the great work.

I watched the build series, as well, but this was an nice overview. Excellent craftsmanship, Dave. Well done.
@@jerrygillette854 I like it when he does condensed single video of a whole project
Me to!
love to see new wood and iron finished. Your work is amazing Mr. Engels
The quality of wood you can source is incredible and is only surpassed by your craftsmanship.
True. Here in UK sourcing quality timber is very difficult. Its all chipboard, MDF and pine now! When you do source it, the likes of oak is around £70 cubic meter, plus delivery, plus vat (20%)!

Dave nothing you do or show over again ever gets old.
Thanks for having this channel. God bless with as many years as you desire to do this work.
That was a wagon of fun...
Thank You From La Pine Oregon Our Grandfather was a Wheelwright in Denmark Love your craftsmanship
That's a heck of a horse you pulling that wagon with.
Love the accuracy and craftsmanship of your work
MR ENGELS, GREAT VIDEO, GREAT JOB...SEE YOU NEXT WEEK...
This was fascinating to watch. I kept pausing the video so I could absorb what was happening during the building process. Bird's eye view was a wonderful idea. I am enamored by your skills.
A wonderful way to spend a beautiful day, oiling the the undercarriage in partial shade. Wowzers, it doesn't get much better than that (well, if you added barbeque and your favorite beverage then it'd be better).
That was some nice forest-ing😉 & a great example of how much work goes into each step.

You do excellent work. Love watching a craftsman in action.

That turned out stunning. Love the look of the black iron on the lighter wood. Beautiful work there Dave. Beautifully done
not sure if I have ever seen this 'Forest For The Trees" video. This makes a lot of sense. Thanks Dave
Once again thanks for the video, so basically you cut away every thing that doesn't look like a axel
I've been watching your channel for years and I'm always amazed at the number of parts there are in the undercarriage. As always beautiful work and thanks for sharing.
Same for me.
Once again, thanx for sharing!
Whoo hoo! More sanding! I'm always amazed by your attention to detail and perfection on a piece most people won't look at twice.
Master craftsmanship…enjoyed
Good to see this the second time around and faster. Like bricklaying, one on top of two till the wall is finished. Of course, we did a lot of special stuff, too! Good to see you again, Greg.
love watching the tree video's as you take so much pride in the details, and the forest video at the end putting the trees into place was an added bonus
It's nice that the wagon owners get to look back on all the shows.
Hand full of parts and pieces of wood and this is what you came up with! Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it from the beginning. You are a Master Craftsman for sure Dave. Thank you so much for your continued involvement with documenting History so well. It's great. Fred.

Your should open a trade school. The wealth of knowledge you can past on is overwhelming!
Great restoration as always God Bless have a great day 🙏
