As the only ones like them in the world, these Borax Wagons are unique to Death Valley California. These were constructed in 2016 and this is a synoptic video of that construction process. The complete process can be viewed in a playlist found on this channel. ( • The new 20 Mule Team B... )
Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles will often involve unique challenges like these wagons, used in the Mojave Desert in the mid 1800s.

Amen Brother. I was stationed in Montana, now in Northwestern New Mexico. Yes, there is still common sense in the world. If you don't possess it there in Montana, you could die. When I want to go off the rails, I think of my neighbor's good sense there and now here, and I straighten right back up. Blessings.

Take my advice: binge watch the entire Borax play list. This was my introduction to Engel's Coach shop. I came on to this channel as they were turning the oak hubs, which is the first video in the series, and, I think, the 5th video Dave posted. I have not missed one since.

Hard believe it was 5 years ago Since that time I have been watching videos on buggy wheels and carriages. When I watched the review of the borax wagon build I got a new appreciation for how massive everything was especially the ironwork. What a job it was fabricating, forge welding and assembling these thick heavy pieces of steel. And they all fit!!! Great to step back and see this build again.

When I saw the video I started not to watch it cause the last one was like watching it in fast forward or time lapse, I think that’s what it’s called. But I really enjoyed it. If you haven’t seen the real videos take a long time and watch them. Like so many others this is where I met Dave. Also hunt other videos about the wagons, where they are kept and several trips they have been taken on, the man that has the mules that pulled the wagons. Dave didn’t show the water wagon being built. Also in one of the videos, not Dave’s, it was told that the commission spent 9 1/2 years hunting a person or company that they trusted with this built. The videos if you decide to watch will show the commitment and CRAFTSMANSHIP that this man has to build a replication of the original wagons. Again thank you for letting us follow along on this journey through history, you are a JOY to watch.

WOW, Goosebumps! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Like many of your followers, the original series on these wagons is what hooked me on your channel. I grew up in Southern California and spent considerable time exploring around the old mines, even had a model of the entire 20 mule team rig as a young kid some 60+ years ago, so this project was (still is) incredibly interesting. Hard to believe it has been 5 years already! As always Dave; thanks for sharing your incredible craftsmanship and thanks for allowing all of us to tag along on this wonderful journey. Best wishes to you and Diane!
