Positioning the wood top bows into the tapered sockets, and setting the correct heights to the seats, is part of building and restoring horse drawn vehicles so that the top is not only aesthetically pleasing, but functional as well. Each top generally has to be custom fitted to the individual buggy and this is the process of fitting this top to the 2 - seat buggy we're restoring.

For those of us who will never put a top together, it's not all just entertainment. Some of us have an interest in documenting history and are so grateful you're preserving these skills for future generations.

Mr Engels, I don't watch your videos because I would ever put together a buggy. I watch because you are alive and awake and dedicated to something beautiful, and there don't seem to be a whole lot of people who are such.

At age 70 it is pretty clear to me that I will likely never build a buggy or even a wheel, yet I can honestly say that I've learned something from every single one of your videos that I've watched. (I've watched all of them, btw.) Some of the things I've learned I may never use, while others are used frequently as I work with wood and other materials. One of the things you constantly reinforce is the satisfaction that comes from never accepting anything less than the best you can do under the circumstances, and I thank you for that. In addition, your videos are unquestionably the most entertaining 20 minutes on RU-vid, no matter how mundane they may feel to you. Once again: Thank You for allowing us along on your wonderful journey. Garrett

Sir, I am a novice woodworker who will never work on any project in your field. But aside from the "asmr" appeal your videos provide, I like to see some of the techniques that the "masters" use. Watching your work flow from front to back or side to side, aides me in my woodworking projects. The expression "I never thought of that" often times crosses my mind when enjoying your content. Thank You for that.

I watch Your video's because I got hooked on wagons early in my life when I worked in an outdoor musical called "TEXAS" and I drove the wagon for the show. Thia made me want to learn more. There was a gentleman who worked in one of the (many) outdoor musicals, this one was in North Carolina (not sure where) who had a shop next to a running stream, this stream powered his shop. Each week he would build a part to a wagon or buggy and when the show concluded at the end of the season, he would drive either the wagon or the buggy out onto the stage. I watch Your shows because it brings me back to those days

Hi Dave, I thoroughly enjoyed this segment. I little about why I watch your channel. I am the great grandson of Riccardo Garon of Garons Coach Shop that was located at the Seamans-Drake Arch Inwood section of Manhattan. This Coach Shop sold fisher carriage products and also built and repaired carriages for the high social guild of the time. Oddly the building still exists and is now an autobody and transmission Shop built around a Tuckahoe marble Arch modeled after Arch de' Triumph Paris. Built by Dr.Seaman who invented the small pox vaccine. So coming from this lineage I thank you sir Sincerely Robert Garo

Back in the early 1960s he built us a go-cart with tubular steel frame, wood rim steering wheel, leather upholstered seat - better than anything in the go cart magazines, and it could FLY (governor on engine kept US from harm). Thanks again for sharing your considerable skill and talents. I look forward to every episode.

Even though I may never do a top the process that you go through helps out a lot of us immensely thanks for that.

Mr. Engel, your channel is fascinating, some of my favorite childhood memories were taking buggy rides at Knott's Berry Farm in Los Angeles, climbing up in to the seat, bouncing around, the smell of the horses and sound of the creaking wheels left a deep impression on me, so here I am! Fun for me to see how you build them in your shop. I find your videos very relaxing!

Mr Engle, a word comes to mind Superman, I am of the old school as you are and the times i've been called superman in fabricating none existent parts to complete a job is unbelievable I truly think they say that when they have been to numerous workshops who have turned them away, sorry these parts are no longer available, what they are really saying is it's to much trouble what these people are forgetting is the fact that a satisfied customer is worth a fortune to a small business, and you will keep these customers for life. Love your vids thanks you.

I not only enjoying watching your skills at work, but also how everything you create works. This series on the buggy top has me fascinated and will continue watching your videos. Had my first Moderna vaccine injection on Tuesday. You and Diane stay safe until you both can be vaccinated.

I don't have a buggy and while it is entertaining to watch I'd like to add a third reason for watching. I have two products out there on the market right now that the average person on the street is likely familiar with. I have used some of your fabrication and building methods in my prototypes. To say they have been useful is an understatement. Even the complexity of your custom tools gave me the courage to build a few of my own that I would not have thought to attempt otherwise. I'm not sure how to explain it but watching a master craftsman operate in one field helps craftsmen improve in a completely unrelated field.

I watch as I have learned a lot of different ways of getting around a problem by watching you ?. So I can put your methods into my daily work. And of course now I can fit a roof to the buggy on my desert island if I ever get stuck on one 😁. Regards to you and yours Richard 🇬🇧

Pertinent to your final comment, I never expect to even ride in a buggy, let alone set the bows and upholster one, BUT, I have learned over the years that the techniques used for one job can frequently be adapted for another, and that knowledge is never wasted :-). I fully expect some day that what I have learned here today, I will be able to use for another project, so thank you for covering it. (Sorry, that would be the next video I think ! LOL).

I did have an occasion to re-fabric a folding top on an old MG TD ('53 model) when I was about 15 yrs old. The work you show is more involved than what I did then, but it reminds me of it. That was over 60 yrs ago. About the same time I spent summers working alfalfa hay near Bozeman. I miss those days. Thanks for stirring up some memories!

@@ScooterMLS1960 well it depends on what you call metal fabrication? I’ve been a metal fabricator for 40 years building Race cars and one off prototype cars and pieces. That’s what I would refer to as metal fabrication. What he does is more in the realm of a blacksmith, this is no put down in any way. In my eyes they are just two different things. The only real thing they have in common is that they make things it how they make things that is widely different! I’ve been watching him for years and admire Dave very much!

Well Mr. Engels, while I would love to have a buggy like this. And would not mind building one for my own use, I will probably never do that. Now while this is entertainment for me, it is also educational for me due to my past association with a particular group that enjoys recreating and preserving history. As well as that it is educational for me, due to my family history with my great grand parents and grand parents use of horse drawn buggies like these. That's because horse drawn buggies was still a very common sight in 1900, and are still some what common for those of us who have Amish communities near by.

I'm one of those you mentioned that is just interested in seeing how things are made and find it quite entertaining. It is just amazing what you can learn and understand just by watching a true craftsman, such as yourself. Keep up the very informative videos, I do love them.

If there is no book. Perhaps you should write one. As you have said, There should be a record of this for future generations. Thanks for all the knowledge you are passing on.

I enjoy watching your videos and very impressed with your skills and patience you have doing these projects. One of the other things is that while your shop is a bit of an organized mess you always seem to know where everything's at.😀 I don't mean that as an insult we all have our ways of doing things. You are a true Craftsman and I'm sure there's not many that can do the kind of work that you do. Thanks for the videos

You are correct, I’ll probably never build a buggy top, but I learn something from all your videos, mostly patience! Thank you for sharing.

Watching your videos, does wonders for me. Not only learning so much about buggy works. But relaxing to watch. I was fortunate to help build 2 buggy's. Had the parts for 3 more, but those were stolen and hauled off for scrap iron. Sad what people will steal for a few cents. When the parts can't be replaced.

The work you do is so incredible. I have been watching you on this project and its amazing. You are a credit to a lost profession. Funny i had the same miter saw you have! i just gave it to my daughter. I have watched several different versions when you make your wheels. i have no idea how old you are but if someone doesn't become your apprentice we will loose so much talent. Shoot its almost over.

I love this! Won't ever put a buggy top on, but some of your techniques and methods have come in handy in my woodworking hobby. Thanks!

We might not all have a buggy that needs a new top, some of us have early cars that need one! Doing a 1914 car top now! Thanks for the tips!

This series would have been very helpful 7 years ago when I was working on a 1906 Tourist and had no idea how the top went together. Great video.

I'll probably never build a buggy top, but I have used bits of your knowledge to make and repair all kinds of other things. Thank you for showing us.
