The rear luggage support irons were missing for the right side on this stagecoach mud wagon. Using the left side as patterns I am completing the duplicates needed for the right side. Thanks for following this Okanagan Washington rebuild project.

Nice of Makita to acknowledge the value you bring to their product by choosing their tools. Cheers from Australia.

@ricksizemore8102 Год назад

Dave, I personally have no problem with you doing tool reviews. 1: I know if you don't like the way it performs you have no problem saying so! 2: As a craftsman, and you are a craftsman! You know the difference between a gimmicky tool and something that is genuinely useful! So please don't hesitate to let us know what you think if you get a useful new tool. Great project and as usual! I am learning something new with each video! Thanks again!

@Reziac Год назад

Agreed. And I had no idea Makita made a stand light. Useful info, especially as I know someone who could use one...

@edbelledin9600 Год назад

I really enjoy watching the steps you take in researching and then, the construction of what you’ve determined to be needed. You’re a true craftsman and artisan in their execution and watching you work the metal and wood to form what is need is for me, pure joy. Thank you for taking the time, and expense to document your craft to show how it was done in the past and for those who hopefully, will follow in the future.

@haroldcoots8433 Год назад

At 6:43, placing the strips of wood between the clamps and the uprights, is a true sign of being proud of your work. After all, this is a mud wagon.

@davidbishop4015 Год назад

As always, it's a pleasure watching you figure out lengths, angles and reassembling all the parts of the coach. Stay safe.

Well said always enjoy watching and catching on , he stays so relaxed and keeps it real

@onlyeyeno Год назад

@EngelsCoachShop Who ever came up with the saying "A Jack of all trades but master of none" clearly had not seen Dave at work :) It's both inspiring and intimidating at the same time to see how seemingly effortlessly he "conjures up" what he needs. From wood or metal, cloth or leather using wildly different skills, and techniques. But always working in a straight forward efficient manner to arrive to the exact shape and fit that he needs the "part" to be to beautifully fill it's intended purpose. It's always a joy to behold. Best regards.

@aserta Год назад

I'm of the idea that Dave is just very good at his job and all the trades that it encompasses. Remember, back in the day whilst people like Dave did indeed exist,... it's also much more likely to find that a wagon, coach would've been made by several people, either working in concert under the same roof or entirely separate businesses. Dave has to do it all himself because he's alone in his trade, there is no blacksmith to work with across his street, there's no wheelwright to make his wheels or an upholsterer. Back in the day, there were people trying to do it, but very likely... they started that saying because whilst trying to do everything (and fast), they'd end up screwing the pooch. Probably even otherwise good tradesmen, would've gotten it wrong, as back then, wagons, carts and so on... they were the cars of today, and as much as we need cars today to be made in sufficient numbers, it was equal back then for those. So it was better to have many, all knowing in their trade, bunch up in to work on a primitive production line (which indeed existed before Ford) and come up with a product that's good, rather than one person, either willingly or forced by circumstance trying to make a product that... doesn't quite add up to the standards. And there certainly are such survivor items that show us that's the case. That's why Dave's special, and he's worth listening to. He's become all that's required to create the item he's in need. If he'd get transported back in time, he'd be the one that everyone comes to in order to learn the trades. They'd be begging him from young to old.

@kiksforge Год назад

That full expression goes " A jack of all trades is a master of none but still better than a master of one" and I think that's very fitting of Dave, from ironwork to carpentry to leather work, the man has the whole spectrum covered.

Makita makes great tools. My first experience with Makita was in 1986 I move to Lincoln NE and started a job as a framing carpenter. We had a very large retirement condos to build. There was over 30 carpenter on the job. The boss Allen Brant showed up with 25 new Makita 7 1/4 inch circular saws in the back of his pickup. For the next year those saws got one rough workout. I don't remember any of them failing.

@waynep5902 Год назад

Good evening, Dave. I have been watching your videos since coming across the Borax wagons. On our way home from Arizona a couple of weeks ago, I was so drawn to swing by Bishop, but the wonderful winter weather prevented that. I have been greatly enjoying seeing all of your self built tools for the things you do along with the antique tools you have collected that are still greatly serviceable. Especially the device for sizing and welding the beads for rubber tires. Your techniques are all so familiar to the way my father taught, such as transferring a dimension with a pencil tip and a knuckle. I can really relate to having to figure out how to work solo, using stands winches and clamps and other supports to do the heavy lifting and holding things in place while match drilling. I have been drawn to blacksmithing but have never taken the plunge. If I do get that far, I will already have a wealth of knowledge amassed just from watching you work. Thank you so much. You do use some modern materials such as Titebond III. I was wondering of the original assembly was just bolted or nailed or if hide glues were employed? On a recent trip to Connelly State Park in Washington, there was a carriage on display from the pioneer days of Washington, with which I felt immediately familiar from watching this series. I very much look forward the next installment every Friday. Thank you for this video documentation. Blessings.

I saw the fold up stool you used to hammer the mud wagon angle. We all have our favorite stools, tools and items but those fold up stools are dangerous ☠️. Save yourself an accident and turf that fold up Hazzard. Had a workmates who had one of those collapse on him, tore the tenon right of his heel. I enjoy your content greatly and as a professional benchwork joiner I can relate to alot of what you do. Please turf the stool and keep the content coming no matter how dull you may think it is. Watching you go through the motions as a tradesman is satisfying enough. Thanks Mike Magdzik MKM Woodwork

I loved how you can take the stress out of iron with heating it in the right spot, pretty awesome!

@ellisc.foleyjr9778 Год назад

Well Dave you just confirmed an argument I had with a fellow empoyee back in the late 1960's when I worked for an Elevator company. we had some hoistway brackets and braces that came and the bracket was not bent correctly and I suggested we bolt and clamp them into place and heat the turn the same way you did to allow it to "Conform" was the term I used into place. Then he had to go work on a service call elsewhere and did not get to see the results. and never believed me. So I just sent him an email with the URL for this video to validate a 56 yr old matter of opinion! Thank you! and for sharing ECF

@mwaynem Год назад

My brother in-law does finish carpentry and I asked him what brand of tools he uses for fine finish work and he said Makita. He said that the other manufacturers are good for rough carpentry but the tolerances on Makita are tighter and produce more accurate results. He said that the way to test a miter saw is check the side to side play when it is locked down and can see the difference between brands. He is right. There is a big difference in accuracy. Thanks again for sharing.

Morning Dave and Diane. I've been looking for a work light, as a breakdown mechanic half the time it's overnight, you have given me another one to look at 🙂. Lovely to see you make the missing bits, you give us an insight into what goes into making a wagon pre modern tools. Love the series. Regards Richard 🇬🇧

GOOD TO SEE YOUR VIDEO TODAY STAY WARM IN MONTANA

@rossbuchanan7632 Год назад

For a "mere" mudwagon, the art and sophistication of the original ironwork is surprising. Those flat bends, and crisp 90degree square internal angles are really tricky to achieve. It appears that some of this mudwagon ironwork is more testing to achieve than that on the borax wagons- that ironwork was massive, whereas this is finicky. It is very interesting watching you replicate the missing original parts with such skill and attention. Hat off to ya!

@Dave-ty2qp Год назад

Watching you come up with solutions to puzzles one step at a time is fun. It remends me of one of the jobs I had repairing Flight Simulators decades ago. There was what was drawn up to be built, what was actually built, and then what was built and repaired several times. What a puzzle I could run into sometime. LOL Thanks as usual Dave for an excellent video.

@markhelseth253 Год назад

My buddy also repaired the original Flight Sims. If I recall the boards were huge. No surface mounts back then! He was like you and Dave and basically made what was needed. The sims were so old the "younger" techs didn't have a clue how to repair if it wasn't plug n play.

@winstonsmith9740 Год назад

I sort off feel like I'm slowly completing an intensive multidiscipline virtual apprenticeship with your video's Dave. It's approaching the stage where I can sometimes guess what you'll do next. Great viewing BTW. Just another realization; this is probably why I like the whole process of making Wood fired pizza's so much, from making the dough onwards, to preparing the fire and oven. It feels thousands of years old, no buttons, no electricity, just your experience and a keen eye.

Hi Dave and Diane ☺, nice easy in situ adjustment of the iron using the torch, clever, sure saves alot of time, a good thing to know. You might already know this Dave , that 12 point sockets will fit square nuts , or squares of any kind, you probably have your own reason for using the end wrench , I suppose it's easier to feel just how much compression your applying to the wood, ?. The gift of the makita work light was nice, it looks well thought out, and very useful to have on any job.

Something I have seen on old (motor) vehicles where there is a carriage-bolt into a steel or iron part is that three corners have been filed off the bolt square, and one corner is filed into the hole. That seems to work pretty well to stop the bolt spinning.
