It is just amazing that you take in a project all out of sorts, dismantle it into iron and rotten firewood and then turn around and rebuild the coach from a memory to restore it to its formal glory. This is an art that is going to be lost when people like you and I pass from this world. Very impressive work, I can tell you get great joy out of the rewards. I hope someday you do a video of some of your past works, that I am sure you have photographs of, and do a recap on how some of these are doing today. That would be one amazing video as a testimony to the craftsmanship you install into each of these vehicles you have done the care as well the owners of them have done over the years. That would be an amazing video that I would sit and watch all your other subs as well would. I hope they show likes on this comment to back that statement up. Thank you for years of documenting your craft on forgotten relics of our past and Montana's past. May you and your family have a very merry and bright Christmas and may the Lord bless each and every one of you.
It amazes me that you get a pile of stuff that looks like it belongs in the scrap pile and you transform it to a working wagon, stagecoach or whatever. great job,, keep it up.
Can't wait ... I've not actually went and watched all your other restoration podcasts. But here starting new and with so little of the actual vehicle it's going to be a fun series. Looking forward to this.
This coach is something way different than the buggies and wagons we've seen. Full frame chassis instead of a single reach. These builds will be a learning experience.
One thing that I noticed as you disassembled the undercarriage is the number of parts, both wood and metal, that go into making a coach work. It is sophisticated in its engineered design. Even our earliest forms of public transport were manufactured to specifications that included safety of occupants and to some degree comfort. Thanks, Dave.
The iron never lies and neither does the wood if there's anything left of jt,I think this is going to be a good build,thank you Dave and Diane for your efforts🤗😎🤗😎
Dave you are building a Coach for many parades. All you need is the horses to pull it when it is complete. This Yellowstone Coach will be beautiful. Thanks for history on their use.
So great the way you tell us about the stage coach history at Yellowstone as well as educating us about the parts of the stage coach. I will certainly be watching this all the way through. Thank you so much for doing what you do and showing the world all about it. I live in the top end of Australia in Darwin.
It's pretty incredible the builders were able to create such a.strong and lightweight structure. They knew exactly how much steel was needed and where it was needed to make the wood very strong and durable, yet as light as possible. The roads were rough and every bit of the stage coach had to be capable of performing about non-stop. The design was impressive!
Incredible. We see a pile of rotten timber and rusty iron, while Dave can already see a gleaming stagecoach. This is going to be a great project to follow. And as always, I have learned something new. I never knew the actual meaning of 'Stagecoach', but now I do. Thanks Dave.
one thing that always impressed me about and kind of coach or wagon. even a simple chuck wagon. or wagon for ranch hauling etc. was the amount of design and engineering that went into them . They are a lot more complicated that I ever thought about. I've said this many times before in comments but it just still fascinates me. so I have to repeat it often. Just one of my fetishes. Thanks for starting a new endeavor and for sharing Dave. ECF.
To me, it is amazing how these were built with all the braces, straps and other hardware! From the design to the fabrication! Amazing craftsman who them after all the years!
Thank you for sharing your projects Dave. It's fascinating how you figure out what, the who and where, especially the manure spreader. Best wishes from the U.K.
Hi Dave, and Diane, that is an amazing story. I would not have thought they had that many coaches at Yellowstone. I never knew about the meaning of "stage" in stage coach. It all makes sense now. As usual this will be a fun project to watch. It's going to be beautiful when you finish. Thank you for sharing, and have a great weekend.
It's great to come along for the ride. Thanks for sharing. If it's not too much trouble, could you please review how you treat the metal parts after sandblasting? Thx.
Away we go on the next adventure. I'm in for the long ride and looking forward to it Dave. It will be another great History Lesson for sure. Stay safe and Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year around there. Fred.
I’m glad to see that you got some Kroil, But to really take advantage of it. Soak those rusty parts about a week before you decide to take them apart. That will give it time to dissolve the rust 👍
If I am not mistaken, the Coker Tire Museum in Chattanooga TN has a beautifully stored horse-drawn Yellowstone coach that is displayed in their museum. When I visited, I had never seen one before and was fascinated with the size of the coach. I have pictures but cannot find them in my mass of pictures. I remember it was painted yellow with the park name on the side. I am looking forward to seeing this one brought to life again. If you are ever near Chattanooga, I would highly recommend a visit to everyone. There are several one-of-a -kind restored and vintage vehicles/motorcycles in his warehouse and displayed very nicely. My office was very close to his shop and again, if I am not mistaken, he bought the name and rights to the Great Race. I saw lots of vintage vehicles leave the place beginning the Great Race tour. I have since found an online picture of the "Yellowstone National Park Transportation" coach at the Coker Museum! You can Google "Yellowstone Coach at Coker Museum" to see it. Thanks for your work!
Здравствуйте привет из Нижнего хочу поздравить вас с новым проектом будет хорошим и интересным у нас говорят ломать не строить поговорка такая дай вам всем здоровья да хранит вас всех господь спасибо за ваше видео жду новых Нижний Новгород Юра
That would have been a real adventure for a city dude to spend 6 or 7 days riding in a coach through Yellowstone. Even the urban softies were made of stouter stuff back then.
Lots of iron on this model compared to some of your earlier ones. Lots of forging making new reproduction parts. This will be a very interesting series !!!
When the parts were intermingled, I suppose that means that during production there was a standardized pattern. Mass production making interchangeable parts a necessity. It seems commercial concerns had removed the single shop craftsman.
When I visit Home Depot to buy wood, I note that for the last several years that all the wood us harvested from quick growth trees with the wood being a lot less dense. Do you have a source for old growth wood that is much denser or does that not really matter?
Dave, have you ever shared the details of your sandblasting rig? Sure am curious about it. If you've discussed it before, maybe you can tell me which video it was.
Got my eye peeled for a soft lead or brass hammer for beating those bolts out. I know you probably chase the threads, but I cringe seeing you beat on the ends of those threaded pieces with a steel hammer.

I find that listening to your stories transports me back so that I can ‘see’ the coaches rolling down the dusty roads.

I didn't know it was possible to buy sockets for antique square nuts. It certainly makes disassembly much faster.

Amazing craftsman who them after all the years!
Happiness is, a new wagon build from Dave.👍
And, so begins the process. Watching with interest.
Satisfying loosening a nut/bolt that was last tightened over a hundred years ago.
Annnnnd we're off , on another voyage of discovery with Dave and Dianne Engels . Yeah !!!
Glad to see more use of those 8 point sockets in your demo work. Sure beats swinging an open end wrench...

Nice to see you got yourself a 1/2 inch impact to get those stubborn bolts off.
Wasn't expecting this project till 2025!!
Thanks for sharing 👍 and Merry Christmas to you and your family 😊
I was surprised at how much iron works there was there. I'm looking forward to the restoration.
It's great to come along for the ride. Thanks for sharing. If it's not too much trouble, could you please review how you treat the metal parts after sandblasting? Thx.
Dave I swear you could look at a box of matches and find a buggy!!! Great video!!
Away we go on the next adventure. I'm in for the long ride and looking forward to it Dave. It will be another great History Lesson for sure. Stay safe and Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year around there. Fred.
My dad always told me I could take the USS Texas apart but….. i am always amazed how you are able to resurrect these coaches and machines!
I watched so many of your videos from begging to end never gets boring always something different love them all
And we are off !!
Yup, looks like another good one.
Maybe you could offer stagecoach rides from your motel to the museum / shop one day.😊
This one is practically new compared to past projects. It will be an interesting restoration.🙂🙂
I bet Dave has a great Library!
Really looking forward to this one, Dave! Thanks for taking us along.
Great intro history lesson!!! Really looking forward to the building sequence!!
This will be a fun restoration to watch. Thanks Dave.
Amazing how many of the old bolts survived.
Basket case start gives you lots of info!
Thanks Mr. and Ms. Engel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
off on another adventure thanks Dave so exciting
Thanks for bringing me along your journey.
Happy Friday Dave and Diane!!
A lot more parts than it looks like. Big project very time consuming. It will turn out nice. Thank you have fun.
I’m glad to see that you got some Kroil, But to really take advantage of it. Soak those rusty parts about a week before you decide to take them apart. That will give it time to dissolve the rust 👍
Marry Christmas to you and your family... this is going to be a great since of escape ...

Wow a lot of irons and hardware
👍👍👍👍 a a great project to followgreat project to follow
Oh boy cant wait. Fun to watch you work!

Gonna be a nice build for sure

Compare this with the pile of sticks that was transformed into a chuck wagon. This looks like it’s almost ready for paint.😅
❤️🔥

The 400 coaches that were burned: It would be cool if at least some of the irons survived.
Like Dave said, if they were still around, this one wouldn't be an antique.
I lost my wife on November 3rd and I was desperately needing you to take me on another journey.
a los 9 minutos no es mi día por lo menos lo he recordado,, otro la proxima sera.
Able to get a socket on some of those nuts. Wondering if they were machine made or hand made.
How awesome! A new wagon/coach project to follow along!
Did I miss something? Are there no wheels for this coach?
What is your plan for the finished coach?
We'll keep one and maybe sell the other one.
Dave, have you ever shared the details of your sandblasting rig? Sure am curious about it. If you've discussed it before, maybe you can tell me which video it was.
#1 -- 12 seconds
This coach obviously needs restored, but that being said its in worlds better shape than that manuer spreader
😄👍🤙
Pulsing the trigger on your impact gun defeats the purpose of the impact.
those who wonder where he gets a square socket any 6 point or twelve point socket will work
12 yes, 6, not so much.
Got my eye peeled for a soft lead or brass hammer for beating those bolts out. I know you probably chase the threads, but I cringe seeing you beat on the ends of those threaded pieces with a steel hammer.
What's going to happen when Historian Craftsman like you are gone forever ??? I hate to think about it 🥺😭😭😭💔💔💔
