Old Looking - New Wheel For a Grandma's Kitchen | Engels Coach Shop 

You did right by saying "yes" to this one, Dave! ❤❤❤

I don't know about anyone else but I enjoy watching Dave build new wheels. He truly is a master of his craft! Thank you for helping to preserve the past and those special memories all of us old people cherish.

I think I understand your feelings towards wheel building but I just want to echo what others have already said: There is ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE that I would ever consider watching you build wheels to be redundant or even remotely undesirable! While I thoroughly enjoy watching you do just about anything requiring your level of craftsmanship and dedication to the trade, I'm especially captivated by both the science behind being a wheelwright and your personal application of the considerable knowledge and skills you carry around inside your brain. If I could only watch one RU-vid channel I have no doubt it would be this one. As always Dave: a sincere thank you for allowing us along on this wonderful journey of yours.

This is a true testament to your work ethic! This a decorative wheel for a woman who, God willing, will enjoy it for 10 or 15 years, but you constructed like it was going on a wagon for real use (minus a shortened hub!). You, sir, are a National Treasure! Thank you for archiving your knowledge for the craftsmen yet to come!

"Blessed are those who give without remembering and those who receive without forgetting." She may have paid for the wheel but you willingly gave your talent to this lady who will not forget what you did for her.

I know wheelrightineg is repetitive for you but I can watch it all day long. There just aren't many left who can do this. Please keep it up.

Well done Dave , you have made many more people happy besides the Grandma as we all got to witness the magic of creating another Dave Engels wheel, I could never tire of watching you building wheels, thank you.

You are a good man, Dave. Only a good man would help make an 80-year-old lady's heart happy. I am so glad I found your channel.

It would take someone with a really cold heart to tell an 80 year old Grandma no. This is one of those things ya just do, whether you really want to or not. And the greatest reward will be the smile on her face, cause that's one fine lookin wheel.

@EngelsCoachShop It's always the "Lill-Old-Ladies" that getYa ;) Thanks for another great and enjoyable video, that was one beautiful little wheel. Best regards.

I know we've all seen you do this before, but it's still fascinating to watch

You are simply a good person and a good member of your community 💪🏻

Great job! Thank you for helping your community. Like we all should.

It’s still nice to see the odd wheel made. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

I think I've seen every video you have on building wheels and honestly, you're not in any danger of being repetitive posting another vid on building a wheel - It's never a tedious thing to see a craftsman at work - 🛠 That's why I'm subscribed.

Beautiful, the elderly lady should be chuffed right up with that wheel 👍🇬🇧

Awesome job Dave, you made us and an 80 year old lady happy with your excellent craftsmanship 👍

Nice of you to do this for the woman Dave. I hope it evokes many good memories for her every time she sees it.

I can understand you not wanting to do any more wheels. I, on the other hand, never tire of watching you make them. Of course I enjoy watching you do other things too. Doing this wheel just goes to show you truly are a nice guy.👍👍(We "You Tuber's" already knew that.) It's a great looking wheel. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

As an older woodworker watching you build a wheel is relaxing, I love it again and again, we use a steel wool pad soaking in steel wool for a dark surface. Hey it’s a good thing saying no sometimes. Love your shop.

The things we do for Grandmas. Nice Job! Hello Diane!

Don't worry about us being bored with you making another wheel. We all appreciate your craftsmanship so much it doesn't matter if we've seen it before. There isn't anything much better than watching someone at the top of their game doing what they do best. Obviously, if you become bored with it, stop, but don't think your viewers feel the same.

I have seen you make wheels before,, but never heard of how long it actually takes you to make one pretty much from scratch, I know you had a lot of parts already done on this one,, but wondering how long it took you to make this for her. My wife is 80 and not sure she would like it if I said she was older,,, LOL, Keep up the good work.

The wheel work videos are my favorite videos to watch . I am suffering table saw envy. Fortunately, I don't have space for one like yours. My work area is filled with mostly warn out tools that I purchase new . I need to start moving them to new homes because of my advanced years, but every time I decide to start disposing of toolsand equipment, a project comes up, causing me to use the items I was about to liquidate. Just last week, I found myself purchasing replacement toolsfor some that no longer functioned to do a job I needed to get done. I no longer purchase the top quality, just good enough to get a job done. Lollol.

Really nice to see your wheelwright skills again it looks great Regards from Liverpool England

You are a darn good man. Thanks Dave

Great job Dave, you did the world more good by saying YES to the Lady wanting to remember what it was like years ago and also preserving remembrance of you and your shop and what it did for Joliet. Stay safe and it never is tiring to watch your videos about wheel making. Fred.

I hope you don't get bombarded with people begging you to make a special wheel for their 80 year old grandmother...LOL Excellent video as always.

After it's placed, ask her to let us see it.

Done as only the MASTER WHEELWRIGHT could do it Dave. I hope that young lady appreciates the beautiful job you created for her.🤩👌👍💥

When i first started watching your videos quite a while back i made a comment about how often you have to replace the cover you have on your table saw and you said you have never had to replace it. I can tell that you still haven't replaced it. That tells me just how good your level of workmanship is. Keep up the great work.

I've been making sawdust for over 50 yrs and I don't like to do the same thing over and over. It becomes boring and almost automatic. I'd much rather take on a project that takes alittle head scratching. That being said, I never tire of watching a true craftsman work even if it's watching them do the same things such as building wheels. I appreciate your talents and thanks for sharing.

Dave, it just goes to show us faithful that you’re a softy😉 as many have said, “we never grow tired of watching you build anything “ I know that she will enjoy that tire as long as she can! Thank you for keeping her precious memories alive. Tom in Ceres, CA

Nice job for the old lady. Ya big softie !😂😂

Yay a new wheel video. Always a good watch.

That looks a lot like my old oak rocker. Still comfortable after all these years! Good work, bud.

It’s was such an great honor to get to meet you today and see where the magic happens, and to see the mud wagon in person! Thank you for taking time out of your day to talk with us and show us around the shop. It’s great that you made the wheel for the young lady. I can’t wait to see what’s to comes in the future videos!!

I know you don't do wheels anymore, But thanks you for doing one more for the 80 year old women . I'm sure it made her day , and kitchen remodel look great. Your the best!!! 👍

Dave I had a similar problem when I sold my HVACR company a little over 2 years ago. I had a one year commitment to the new company that bought me out. But one of my best customers had a Spiral freezer project that I was the only one that knew how to put it back together after moving it. What was supposed to be a 3 month extension turned into a year plus extra project! So I lost one year of retirement.

Couldn’t have said no to her either!

Great work Dave, as always. It's always good to keep your hand in with the old skills from time to time.

id sure love to be there when she brings that APPEL PIE in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, you are great! Fantastic job as usual. Just love your work, and Video's, Thank you!

We all appreciate your compassion and generosity. Good looking wheel. Thanks.

For those that don't have a sandblaster, a wire brush wheel does the same job, taking out more of the soft grain and leaving the harder, giving the same weathered character. Many people do it this way to make "old barn wood" for picture frames, etc. Great job, Dave. It really looks nice...an old wheel that's been taken care of.

You Sir, are a good man.

Dave, you have a big heart. Your prowess as a wheelwright has grown a little as a master craftsman, and you humbly satisfied her desire. You have also made our hearts grow as we watch you build the wheel.

One of the auto mechanics on RU-vid does a lot of brake jobs. It has gotten to the introduction of "Well, folks here is another ...", so far it has been different vehicles each time.

I love the fact that you don't do anything halfway. Even for a wall decoration. Great Job Dave!!

The patina paint job would look terrific on your mud wagon

My mother would say you earned som feathers for your wings making that for her !

I'm sure the Grandmother was pleased with your efforts, as is ALL of us watching a Master at work!! THANK YOU for doing it.... again!! =).

MAY THE GOOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU AWAYS IN HIS LOVING CARE🙏

I love the video before it even loads…lol

personally i could watch you build wheels every other week

You old softy, you 😃. Love the vids.

I love watching you show how a wheel is built. Thanks for granting Grandma's wish; you're a good man!

I’m just finishing a complete interior remodel of a 140 yr old farm house. The client wants an old farm house, not a new house that looks old. Unfortunately certain things cannot be saved, like the door threshold that was so warn down it had only splinters holding the two sides together. I took a section of the old salvages flooring from upstairs and made a new threshold complete with the diagonal wear pattern the the clients grandfather had worn into every doorway in the house. I feel like I know that old foot dragger in some way. We matched his trim work and kept to his original style in the new addition to the house. The family had an open house last weekend for friends and family to see what we’ve been up to. All are please with how we kept everything original… even though the entire house was gutted back to the studs. I’ll take that as a compliment. Nice job on the wheel.

🤫Don’t give Diane any ideas. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Not that I am trying to turn you into a museum curator, but if you ever get the inkling, it would be a wonderful gift to future generations to have an example of some projects from start to finish. By the I mean the raw material, then an "unfinished" piece after each step all the way to a completed project.

god bless you

does not become redundant for me.. i'll watch you build wheels all day!!!!

Wonderful thing you did for this lady and it is beautiful. Not only are you a craftsman and artist but you’re a gentleman with a big heart. This will look so nice in her kitchen and bring back those memories of her youth and when life went at an easier pace. ❤

Kinda comforting to watch something so familiar

I've been watching you make wheels since the borax wagon days and I still find it interesting. Thanks.

Nice job

Please keep doing wheels and show us your day to day wheel work. We like your old videos but current videos showing wheel work are so enjoyable.

The level of care for an ornamental wheel. Amazing.

I always thought of you as a very nice guy , but now you changed my mind , God has blessed you with your talents and given you a heart to match.

Good on you Dave. I’m sure she will love it.

I perfectly understand why you chose to cut back on wheel making. That said, it is still a pleasure to watch you make one. Cheers!

You are such a Good Man there Dave. Thank you for doing this for her.

Mr. Dave, You Are a “Mensch” !

Gostei da sua apresentação . O desafio é constante nunca para , o nosso cérebro precisa disso . E o cérebro de um mestre artesão vai alem de tudo isso .Você vai construir a roda , não é só porque alguém pagou pára ser feito . Mais sim o instinto primitivo do desafio , falou mais alto dentro de você . Maravilhoso projeto , grande trabalho .🎉🐈🇧🇷

Ficou muito bom Parabéns...parece uma roda antiga mesmo, sendo nova

It is a real pleasure to watch a master performing his craft. Thank you Dave!

What a lovely thing to do for this woman. Excellent workmanship, as always, Dave. Thanks for sharing!

What a beautiful wheel. Her house will be all the more charming for it!

Very, very lucky lady. Lovely work. Hope she will be graceful in sending a picture when the kitchen is complete

really nice

Awesome :)

You made a new wheel look very mature , and you have made a mature lady feel very new .

Every rule needs an exception and this broken rule was well earned. You may have had enough of making wheels but I'm sure I'm not alone in wanting to see them over and over.

Never fails, everytime I get into a project like that I hear my Mrs yelling from inside the house, HAVE YOU SEEN MY MEASURING CUP?

You are a good man Mr. Engels.

Beautifully done Dave. I’m planning to swing by Juliet to meet you later this summer. 🇺🇸👍🏻

As someone else said, no matter what you do whether wheels or a complete build like the Mud Wagon we enjoy watching your skill in all the crafts you do so well.

It seems an age since watching you do wheels it's still enjoyable never get bored of watching a skilled craftsman

Enjoyed another wheel 😊

Hi Dave, I am sure when I speak for all your followers,' We never tire of watching your wonderful range of skills , whatever you do.' Many thanks from Nr Liverpool UK.

I'll keep watching you build wheels, wagons, coaches, fences, whatever. Still not convinced that I could build a wheel by myself. The rest of the wagon, maybe.

Mr Dave, I never get tired of watching your Craftsmanship in every phase of your work!! I’m sure it is tiresome for you, after all of these years. Thank you for the videos!!! God Bless you

Sir. If I may ? I really luv the skills and craftsmanship of your "wheelology" hahah yea I got creative with the Wheelwright word .. sorry but. Not sorry .. 😊 luv it always will.. that simple wheel made our country .. so thank u sir

Dave you’re a true gentleman. Taking the time to care for our elder ones! And the “half” wheel wall hanger turned out great! I’m guessing I’m not the only one who kinda wants one too!?✌🏻❤️🇺🇸

I've been watching you since before you built the borax wagons, I don't think I'll ever get tired of watching you build.

Mr Passion you've got there Diane Passion to let what he's learned be stored not lost and available to others Passion to please everyone as best he can - not wanting to 'pump out' the same stuff week in/week out (but some of us oldies are used to repeats 😉😉) Passion to please those who've asked him to help Passion to recreate the history/restore heritage I'm guessing he'd never turn down a request from 'a lady needing help' because he's that kind of man.........and no not henpecked...well maybe just a little....I sure miss those henpecking moments Thank you Diane for sharing him and thank you Dave for being you

As someone myself who has been working as a carpenter/tradesman for 50 years, I truly understand how difficult it can be to say, "No." to a project, when someone comes along, truly in need of some help. I enjoy watching you gather together the materials and create a beautiful piece. Peace and Joy!

Nice job as always.

Thanks for doing one more wheel video, I picked up some cool tricks! Our whole family enjoyed the video.

As always a very interesting build that turned out looking great!! How ever, I’m sorry that you aren’t doing Wheels anymore, that’s what really got me interested in your Channel! There’s plenty of Wood Working and Blacksmith Channels but yours is the only Wheel Wright Channel
