No, thank you, Sir. This has been a real journey in woodworking, blacksmithing, history and detective work. Every little detail of what was, what might have been and Dave's way has been a true pleasure to watch and experience.
From a pile of kindling contaminated with junk metal, to a recreated functional wagon. It has been an amazing journey and a privilege to watch a true master at work. Thanks, Dave (and Diane, for reading comments). Have a terrific Independence Day.
You ain't kiddin' it really looked like a pile of kindling.
I couldn't have worded this complement any better,thanks a million.
I wonder how many people appreciate the strength and endurance you have. You make hammering those parts look so effortless that I suspect most people who've never swung such a hammer so repeatedly think little of it.
I DO worry about his hearing ... I hope he stuffs ear plugs in when he's hammering like that.
It looked liked enough hammer strokes to make your arm feel like a wet noodle. I feel for a brother that works that hard. Thanks for sharing this build
@@harpomarx7777 What?
I'd say around 43k 😊
Thank you Dave for allowing us to ride along. 🐎🙏🤠
It is amazing that you took a pile of almost gone parts and ended up with this. Your craftsmanship and attention to detail is incredibly good. I really enjoy your videos.
What artistry! It's been a real treat watching you restore this wagon.
I dare to say most folks (including me) never even heard of a mud wagon. It's bee a real privilege watching you.
Thank you
I would love to see the axles, wheels, and any other suspension done on this project. Even though I will never build a mud wagon or any other wagon every step of this video journey has been a joy to watch. Thanks so much for taking the time to capture the whole process including the investigative work needed to reconstruct and present this !!!
Somehow, I don't think I'll lie awake tonight and reflect upon that unoriginal bolt in the side board.
It would be hard for the owner of the wagon to notice the difference.
You’re hard man Bob Blarneystone, a hard man
Dave: You are a master at making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear! Love Friday’s and Tuesdays. Keep ‘em coming!!!
It was one of the biggest jigsaws ever, with bits missing and incorrect , yet you took us along and made it perfect , thank you .
The ending shots of the finished mud wagon and the pile of junk you started with tell it all. What a story. A magnificent piece of work. Thank you Dave for allowing us to ride along.🙂🙂
Amazing amount of iron works supporting the mud wagon craftsmanship.
Thanks Dave for making this whole process available to us through your channel. It's been a wonderful experience to see the transformation of a mud wagon. Stay safe.
I thoroughly enjoy watching all the thoughtful work you put into restoring the mudwagon. It dawned on me just now that time and materials add up for any project. I'm wondering what something like this might cost someone who would want this much work done. Needless to say the results are priceless. But your time and expertise are, too.
Not bad for starting with a rotten pallet of pieces. Truly amazing recreation.
And he only hadthose really old black and white photos that he had to figure he could go by with the people on it for scale, always honored to see what he creates
It looks great Dave, it's hard to believe that you actually found a Mud Wagon amongst that pile of wood and metal but you worked wonders and brought it back to life and fixed the repairs that were made and mistakes that might have been made and came up with this gorgeous Mud Wagon Build/ Rebuild with your personal handy work. It will be beautiful when it rolls out your doors to it's new home. Thanks for sharing with us all during the project. OLD DAWG DREAMING Fred.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts while you were puzzling out the original construction. It was inspiring to see you acknowledge mistaken directions, let go of completed parts done in error, and start again. This resolve is easily applicable to many tasks we set out to accomplish in life.
I just told my 84 year old uncle about your work .I think he will like it.
I maintain the original mud wagon was repaired by more than one person, possibly hurriedly, just to get the coach back in service.
But I know nothing about building anything, so take that for what it's worth.
Love watching you work, Dave, and learning from you.
"Kind of made a little bit of a transition" You are a master of understatement.
Having watched every episode, it's great to see the mud wagon nearing completion.
My visit to chat with you and see the shop was a highlight of my trip two years ago. We’re glad when we get the chance to visit!
Like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon! Love the power hammer, that thing is a beast.
Thank you for this journey. My Dad left his grandfather's farm because he was tired of plowing behind two horses.
It has been a genuine pleasure watching this Mud Wagon take shape! Dave, and I give you great credit for your reasoning to put this wagon together, and Dianne for capturing the key elements of the build! "I like the "Machine gun" effect of the power hammer in quick mode" Well done Dianne. I know this wagon is far superior to the original wagon for your care in measurements, But I also have to give credit to the original designers and builders of the wagon! They sure were not dummies in that time period!
I live in Louisiana so it’s a long way to meet you, but I would dearly love to shake your hand. Been watching for a while now and I have never seen anyone as talented at so many different trades. Love and peace to you and yours.
I looked up 'craftsman' in the dictionary... I saw your picture! Well done. Kudos.
A Pleasure and a Delight!!! Thanks to you both, Dave & Diane!!!
In today's world of plastics and 3d printing. I believe the younger generations could have no idea just how much time and skill it takes to makes that tapered and s curved brace you documented forging. It was truly a piece of art all in it's self . And to think that was just a commonplace thing in its time. The new "I changed my mind mud wagon"looks fantastic. Thank you for sharing not just the footage but the explanation of the whole process.
It has been a pleasure and an honour to watch you at work Sir. Thank you.
I have to admit when you started this project my thought was, there’s no way you can rebuild a wagon from that pile of junk.
I am in awe of your skills sir.👍🏻
Dave, I may NEVER build a coach, wheels for wagons or other animal driven vehicles but I have enjoyed learning the work, effort and original realism you have tried to convey to the Next Generation. Thank you so much for all that you do to try and keep a "How to for restoring animal drawn vehicles". Your love for as much of the authentic craftsmanship and reconstruction from leftover deteriorated remains has been amazing. I have enjoyed your videos and the process you have gone through to the restorations completion. I will hate seeing you end this journey one day.
I just showed my wife the before and now the almost done work. She was like me and everyone else that's watched you do this wagon, she was amazed. I enjoy watching you bring those old wagons back from the dead.
Your skill at turning piles of rust and splinters into functioning coaches never ceases to impress me.
it amazes me to see what can be done to raw steel with heat and hammer! The pneumatic hammer helps get the job done faster, but the fine touches require the third 'H'... the hands. Such a master of so many arts. Thanks, Dave.
17:30 - 18:15. Machine gunning that complex part. The steps, and the order of steps in the fabrication, is a glimpse of the talent of a master. Thank you.
Nice to see the power hammer at work again. We really appreciate these videos. Thank you.
Wonderful work. You are truly a master of your craft. I'd love to see it really finished, painted and with a cover over the roof slats, and upholstered seats.
It’s great to see an ARTIST at work,Beautiful is not enough to describe your Detail .THANK YOU SIR 💐
I hope it's possible to recreate some of the photos you used to repair this wagon. It would be a lot of fun to dress a bunch of people up and pose them like the old photos!
Didn't know that you had a power hammer. Truly a piece of equipment needed to forge the parts missing to complete the build. After watching the Swede's blacksmithing videos, it was refreshing to see you had one tucked away out of sight.
Wow that was a lot of blacksmith work you did on this wagon and the before & after views is truly amazing. Thanks for bringing us along & Happy Forth of July to you & the Mrs.
Yes a little bit of a transition alright. A true pleasure to watch a person that truly enjoys going to work everyday.
What a wonderful completion, it reflects your abilities, the high skills to apply those skills, and manifests your inherent respect for those who previously worked on this vehicle. My thanks for sharing this project. Paul, Johannesburg
You, sir, are a consummate craftsman! Your ability to meet every challenge on a project like this, is simply amazing!
you have made a great job of this wagon when I think of what you started with a true craftsman enjoyed watching it
I live in the UK. It's always a pleasure and an education to watch skilled crafts people at work. I am in awe of your range of skills both in wood working and in black smithing. I hope to see the finished wagon painted and on its wheels in the not too distant future.
It is always a bit sad, as we approach the end of one of these projects. These wagons, carriages, etc. become like 'old friends', and we know that soon they will be 'moving away'. But, then there is always the question... "What will the next project be?" And that goes a long way toward making things OK. THANKS for letting us follow along.
It looks awesome, I truly admire your blacksmith Iran work, blacksmith is a work of art .
Thanks for documenting this amazong journey from a mish mash of "Scrap" to a recreation of an historical horse drawn vehicle.
Another excellent example of a very skilled craftsman exhibiting how & why things are done.
Stay safe & well Dave & Diane.
Two hundred thousand of us have a chance of looking like we know something if we run into this wagon!
A beautiful piece of work. I've enjoyed watching the build of this mud wagon. The detail you put into all of your projects is a treat. History comes alive!
You are a master craftsman in wood and iron! Terrific anvil work!
*_Sir!.....I love your work._*
So good Dave. I hope we get to see it painted up and upholstered.
This has been such a wonderful series. I'm looking forward to the completion but then , you know, I'm not, if you know what I mean.
Thank you. Sir.
If only 1 in thousand who watched this creates something similar instead of buying short living plastic vehicles that in 10 years be pile of trash, and in its lifetime will produce more pollution than all wooden vehicles together that would be a good way to continue this amazing fantastic journey!
Wow, I don't think I've ever been described at "discerning"! Thanks Dave!
It was the utter cleanliness around your pneumatic hammer which drew me to see how very clean your whole work areas are.
Your talents keep me in awe, thank you for sharing your amazing trade with us.I fear it may be a fading art.
back in the old day they did not have the tools to make every thing perfect like today thanks Dave
I have enjoyed this project and all it entails. Looking forward to seeing what you have next in line
Wow, what can you say ... from the grave of waggons to the 21st century ! Well done Master craftman ..
You always enjoy seeing a job very well done, but the journey is so enjoyable!
Ten lifetimes of skill and knowledge packed in one person.
Yes Sir Mr Dave, your work is absolutely incredible!!!
I appreciate you sharing your lifelong experience with us. May Gods continue to bless you with good health along with all of His blessings for you!!
Your videos are one of two channels that I look forward to every week. The other one is another fabrication shop that is in Australia and does metal fabrication. I hope that you will continue to make these in the future. Oh and by the way I still love watching you build wagon wheels.
CEE?
Theseus' Mud Wagon is coming along niceley!
It's really amazing that you were able to reconstruct this 'Basket Case'.
Dave...it is amazing what YOU can do with a Hammer, an Anvil, Hot Metal and a Hammer
Craftsman, Artisan, so many terms can be used to describe your list of skills Dave. Thank you for sharing your vocation with us.
Kind regards from England.
Enjoyed the thought process you went thru to restore this mess of a wreck. Beautiful job. Thanks for all of your hard work.
I love it when a plan comes❤
My gosh, if someone had walked into the shop and asked for a rear bracket like that one to be made, I would only guess that the cost would be rather insane just because of the time it takes to hand forge one out, not necessarily because of the cost of materials. Having a sample piece to guide the process was a pleasant supplement. Now for the leather and upholstery work...this will be real interesting to witness.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us.
🎬 Dave, hello from Wren, Oregon. Your videos are always fascinating to watch, 👀, in fact if I were a few years younger (I just celebrated my 71st lap around the sun), I'd be moving so I could be located a lot closer to you and become a fixture in your shop. ⚠You are a master.⚠ It would have been quite an adventure, to have been alongside you in the shop, as it seems that everything you do has the touch of excellence crafted into each and every move you make. I'm pretty sure that no matter what you're sharing, whether it's rebuilding a wheel, cart, wagon, fixing the apartments or creating a freeze proof watering system for the cows, you will have my utmost attention, watching and learning as you continue creating each and every masterpiece.
Keep up the GREAT WORK‼ and stay healthy.
🛠🪚🗜🪛🔧🔨
Thank you.
I enjoy watching all the ways you build and the tools you use .
I am currently working on a bent wood panel, sewing machine cover. Which has cracks and a small hole knocked in it...
made me wonder how you would repair such damage.
A curved surface thin wood, with a hole broken through.
.
I stabilized with wood glue.
Filled with putty.
Sanding and a skim coat of glue again.
Then , covering the outside with leather to help protect it in the future.
Dave this has been a pleasure to watch and a little bittersweet to see it coming to an end
Hello Diane, Thank you for all your work helping this great channel. We will be coming up to visit both of you, lovely folks. Jim, Portland Oregon.
👍
She’s such a beautiful piece of engineering
Beautiful work sir, you deserve a place in history.
I love the power hammer being made to sound like a machine gun.
Your attention to the details is very refreshing! Thanks for sharing!
👍👍❤️
A pop in would definitely be on my itinerary should I ever get to your part of the world. I am sure just by being there some of your wonderful skills and knowledge could simply be absorbed, nice thought , thanks again Dave
The amazing part of this project is the fact that someone is willing to invest the kind of resources it takes these days to restore something such as this mud wagon. Sad that more folks out there do not consider the facts and keep some of the past still part of today. Like an old car from 1930, there's just something about old things that have their place, even in our modern world. Not only that but their simplicity makes them just about last forever and fixing them doesn't require specialized parts, just make one !
What a historic trip you have brought us on, you are truly a master craftsman!
The answer to Dave's early question about why some of the bolts were parallel and true while most were slightly off is easy. They were drilled by ordinary mortal men, not by a wizard with a radar controlled drill. Amazing stuff as always thank you!
Another excellent example of hard work. Appreciate your explanation of how you accomplish these challenges.
I hope this isn't the last we see of this coach. I've enjoyed watching the progress, your explanations and attention to detail is really a joy to watch.
I was thinking that an Engels Coach logo would really dress up those square head bolts.
Thanks so much for sharing.
Is that a new hammer?
3:48 Am in awe of the original designers of these wagons. Ask a modern coachbuilder or auto designer to come up with a multi seater vehicle made of wood. Able to traverse rocky mountain roads and last longer than a mans life span. Today “we” make tin boxes with wheel each corner and scrap them not long after. Thankyou sir for videoing your work. I’m a 1940’s model and have always been drawn to grey dried out wagons beside the roads I’ve travelled. Always wondered how a wooden spoked wheel could take side loading. Cornering at speed with loaded wagon and the hub doesn’t punch out through the spokes! Now you have opened up my wonder when I see the engineering of an entire wagon. Reckon modern construction of anything is folks standing on the shoulders of giants who tackled the impossible. Back in the day of horse drawn sleighs or sleds what percentage of men could come up with a wheeled wagon with suspension? And it had not been done before. Well there were chariots and apparently wagons mentioned in the bible but someone had to begin the process for those too. Am convinced that we are blind fools to not notice our mathematics are based on very ancient people and we are devolving not evolving. Not only mathematics but metallurgy and high rise construction water pumps and so on and on. We have almost “ruined” the earth and I am intensely interested in our future based on what I’m seeing of our past. I see hope. But that’s another story.
Stumbled onto your channel, you sir are a true craftsman, I will definitely be following you from now on. Would be a pleasure meeting you in person, but at my age and health that will never be possible. Thank You.
What an amazing journey this has been. I am a fabricator and do some blacksmithing from time to time and I just can’t stress enough just how much of a true craftsman you are. Your level of skill and eye for detail, and vast amount of knowledge is at a level many of us aspire to get to but a good number, myself included, probably never will. My hat is off to you sir. Thank you for this amazing channel.
Extraordinary! A most enjoyable and illuminating journey for me.
Thanks Dave.
That mud wagon turned out great. You attention to detail is first rate.
My first comment, but I have been watching your amazing skills for a very long time. You are truly a craftsman in every way.
Thank you for watching.
It is such a treat to watch craftsmen work, who enjoy the work and are dedicated to high standards not just slap it together. On another note, Dave we must talk about that shinny power hammer you got. I did spy it in the back ground a while back but we were never properly introduced.
Thanks for making these videos they are an abundance of information and some beautiful craftsmanship with everything you do
Guten Morgen Herr Engel
Ihre Arbeit ist absolut phantastisch.
Eine Reise in die Vergangenheit zusammen mit Ihrem Wissen und Können.
Die Vergangenheit hat durch Sie eine Zukunft bekommen und ist nun wieder für viele Menschen sichtbar.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Arbeit.
Alles Gute und viele Grüsse aus Deutschland
Ihr Frank Galetzka
Thank you, Frank.
Dave, as usual, you create something from practically nothing but remnants of a wreck or a disentgrated wood carcas. Just the old frame pieces, a few pics to go by and your experience and knowledge and voila......a "new" mudwagon. And Dave, it is anything but a muddy mess. Excellent work. I like this as much as the Democrat buggy and the bob sled.
I am looking forward to the finish on this one. I am sure that the wagon, once painted and fitted with the top will be an amazing change from that pile of remnants that you started with. EXCELLENT WORK
The craftsmanship is, to say the least, phenomenal.
*- Wow ! Almost finished.*
