Hand painting lines and stripes on carriages is an old traditional method used by artisans for centuries, or longer. This skill is a combination of years of practice and having the right brushes. While I can get the task at hand accomplished, I still marvel at the skill levels of old-time craftsmen & women who have perfected this trade before me. I observe their trade through the vehicles I endeavor to restore today. Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles involves being a wheelwright, woodworker, blacksmith, upholsterer, painter and striper, along with the ability to conduct the business aspect also. Thanks for following along.
These are the string brushes I use;

Bob Ross used to say there were no mistakes, just happy little accidents. Your work is awe inspiring.

If that buggy were mine I would have it in the living room and my TV out in the yard, who needs a TV when you have a work of art like that to look at.

@tanyramos8045 3 года назад

@aserta 3 года назад

You joke, but i know a couple that has a converted buggy into a bed. It's quite ornate and well painted.

@gregorycross612 3 года назад

I wasn't kicking the TV out, but had the same thought about bringing it into living room as center show piece! It would take quite a big check to pull something with that much time and attention away from me. Separation anxiety!

Even if I had detected the “mistake”, how would I dare mention it? I am still in awe by the beauty of the process and of the outcome, as well as the breadth of skills you demonstrate week after week. Nowhere else could one watch striping and find it spell binding. It’s all fantastic!

Stunned - wasn't expecting that. Guy on the 'Art of Boat Building channel' always says' whatever you make - make it beautiful'. Dave, you certainly achieved that.

@quinntalley1681 3 года назад

I haven't missed an episode going back to those incredible Borax wagons (and that includes every minute of sanding). This has to be my favorite. This buggy is an absolute work of art and a joy to behold. Being allowed to follow along as it comes together is a true gift. Thank you for bringing us along.

@RandomStuff2024-j3g 3 года назад

wow Dave is there anything you cant do. First i was impressed with you just changing tyres on a wheel and everything that went into that, then i saw your black smithing skills, wood workign skills, welding skills, paint booth skills, tailoring skills, electrical skils, machine skills. filming skills, video editoring skills and now striping skills. you make everything look so easy and after all that and you still manage to share some of your knowledge on the history of what you had just completed. all while staying grounded and humble. Thank you for sharing you passion and knowledge

@richardcole9558 3 года назад

Many years ago I worked in the Royal Mews where all the Royal coaches and carriages were stored , I had the pleasure of meeting and talking to the guy that did all the day to day painting repairs to the vehicles , some of which were used on a daily basis so needed constant maintenance .The ease with which he did the lining was a testament to his years of experience ..All the solid paint was brush applied as was all his lining work , it never ceased to amaze me the mirror like finish he achieved with a brush .The brushes were all the finest quality and were meticulously cleaned after use .If I remember rightly the lining brushes were camel hair ..watching you brought the memories of forty tears ago right back ..

@lwilton 3 года назад

Camel hair used to be common for very good artist's paint brushes, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear of someone using them for detail painting on a coach.

@canaan5337 3 года назад

A buggy made in the late eighteen hundreds would have had paint that was made in the late 1800s. Also in the late eighteen hundreds there wasn't paint guns or paint booths so there would probably be dust dead insects and visible brush strokes in the paint

@P_RO_ 3 года назад

@@canaan5337 You don't understand your past nor do you understand real painting. If you know what you're about, you can achieve a near-mirror finish with a brush and the correct paint. Until the late 1800's each painter made his own paint, and because the materials came mostly from nature there was no specific formula involved to follow- you had to know how each ingredient acted and reacted with each other from experience. You had to learn the feel of laying-off with your brush to avoid lap-marks. Humidity and temperature variations required changes in the paint. It was a near-art, totally unlike today where anyone can do a half-decent paint job by throwing enough money at it. They also used things you can't get today due to laws regarding hazardous substances and pollution. Spend some time looking at original finishes found on museum pieces. Look at the deep beauty of antique Japanese lacquer-ware. It was all done by brush without paint booths and it is often flawless and even unmatchable today. Maybe then you'll understand that knowledge and skill can make up for a lot of technology and sometimes even better it.

@pkav8tor 3 года назад

Back in the 'good ol days' I used a older guy for pinstriping that would show up with his tattered box of brushes, paints and rags. His hand were well worn and would shake like the dickens. I would have a half rack of his favorite brand of beer ready for his consumption. After about an hour his hands were steady as a rock, and he would proceed to lay down beautiful lines and designs that would make ya smile with pride. His master pieces are works of art. I miss him and his work these days. It is a dying art, as he has past on, as many like him. Thanks for sharing Dave/regards.

Visiting your channel every Friday evening is like visiting an old friend and asking: -So, what have you been up to this week? No matter what you have to show it's always a joy to watch what you have done. I guess that everybody caught your mistake with the differing height of the stripes. You did an extra panning just to show off. :-) The quality of this build is amazing.

@jonwatson9765 3 года назад

No. The idea of Dave making a mistake, even if he says he did, simply goes against the grain. I'd maybe notice it and decide it was artistic licence and something to add interest.

@tomt9543 3 года назад

One of my best friends was a sign painter and striper. Incredibly talented with the long brush, he would use nothing but Painters One Shot paint because he could still get it in a lead based formula which he said was far superior! When painting, he would constantly groom the brush hairs between his unprotected fingers to get the optimum shape for whatever he was doing. Sadly, he became a victim of cancer. As far as your work, I don’t know why it surprised me that you did your own striping, you’ve mastered every other facet of buggy work, but it did! Your talents are unbelievable Sir! WOW!

@johnbucher3009 3 года назад

Mistake or not, I’d didn’t see it. What I do see is the skill, attention to detail, care and patience you have in doing all the different things you do, especially in painting and the details after painting. Not only is your work beyond compare, you have made me and I feel many others who watch better craftsman in our own shops. I know since I started watching you many years ago I have improved in my shop work, attitude to the work and the final product shows of these efforts. Fridays are almost holy days waiting for your video to come out and then watching it a few times over. Thanks again.

Wow!! what a beautiful buggy color and finish. I really appreciated the joinery and metal work including the design. I was impressed with the top fabrication as well, but never expected to be so taken by this seeing that chassis and undercarriage looking so amazing, and my favorite color as well. Sometimes words can't express seeing something like this as it would have looked right out of the factory over a hundred years ago. I know of many that are good at a few fabrication disciplines, however I have never seen someone that is so versatile in his entire trade. Keep the great works coming.... Joe

Dagger Lining was my Grandfathers job. Story goes that he was renowned for the flourishes he could flick at the end of the very straight line he would apply. Further to the story I was told was that he could replicate from memory both sides of a carriage or vehicle such that it looked a mirror image. My Great Grandfather was a coach and buggy builder and blacksmith so naturally I am totally engrossed in your workshop being that this is a rich part of my family's oral history. Just remembered something else I was told about how they would paint back in the day before spray guns. They would heat up the paint pot till it nearly boiled and then dip a paint brush in and apply a thin very runny coat which they would wash over the surface and allow to drip off as they would work from the top down.

A Craftsman, always see the flaws. But they also blend them in, where everyone else will never see it. Built a big bookcase. Every time I look at it, just shake my head. While everyone that sees it. Thinks it perfect, when one piece is off enough to almost make me tear it apart to fix it. Almost but not enough to redo all that work.

13:54. The stripe is on the inboard end of the Hub's outboard-most "plateau" rather than the outboard like the other two stripes on that hub. That said, it is clear that the prep work certainly shows up in the quality of the final finish. The multiple cots of primer and sanding surely makes a difference. I've learned much in watching.

I have done my fair share of striping myself and know what it is like to have your work scrutinized to the minute detail so I won't list the "mistakes" that I noticed because that is some of the class that a hand striped job has that makes it so special in my opinion. When it comes down to it absolute perfection is impossible anyhow so we should only strive for what makes us proud to say we created it anyhow. I don't think you should say what the "mistake" was in next weeks video either but that is just me. Lol

One could equate the building and assembly of a buggy as to a fine Italian sports car, the engine is assembled by one man, the drive train assembled by another. Each vehicle painstakingly put together with utmost precision with attention to detail. Now the fine sports car has a value of $350,000. So, does the hand built buggy have the same value ---- Maybe. At any rate both of them are absolutely beautiful. Keep building those one horse power sports cars Dave. One man, one buggy at a time.
