The size of a singletree is not always determined by the size of the horse. Most carriages and buggies will have a dash mounted on the front of the body. I briefly cover the differences in singletrees between shafts and a pole, and go through the process of sizing and building a dash frame for this two seat buggy. Thanks for following along.

23:32 "Lot's of little steps" Bit of an understatement. Can't wait to see the end result.

@johnking8679 9 месяцев назад

Just absolutely love watching Dave at work !! His approach to the various challenges as he puts this buggy together !!

@soranuareane 3 года назад

This video has it all: science and education, a little Bob Ross, a hearty bang-bang...

@gregorythomas333 3 года назад

Whatever you are getting paid for this...it isn't enough! The level of craftsmanship...on so many areas of crafts...is outstanding!

@EngelsCoachShop 3 года назад

I'll pass that on. :-)

@garrettswoodworx1873 3 года назад

"Lots of little steps" Four simple words that together say so very much about the craftsmanship we are exposed to whenever we have the privilege of watching one of your videos. Each of those "little steps" is expected to provide progress towards the desired end result. If that does not happen, your skill, dedication to your craft and seemingly bottomless patience cause slight modifications to that step until the desired result is obtained, along with an assessment of how to better accomplish the task next time it is called for. Amazing work Dave, thanks once again for allowing us along on this wonderful journey.

@andrewmantle7627 3 года назад

You have a unique skillset that would make anyone green with envy. I think it would be easier to ask if there is anything that you can't do. I have been a fabricator/machinest/builder/master craftsman for 50 years and bow to you and your abilities. You have inspired and taught me methods to achieve results in ways that are becoming obsolete as time goes on. I thank you for sharing your methods of work with all of us. May God bless you and yours and keep all of you safe and healthy in these chaotic times.

Dave, your anvil has a beautiful, cheerful, musical ring...just as it should be

@leebarnes655 3 года назад

Quite common for that belief system to exist, until you hear a silenced anvil and it's signature clack instead. Big Bear Forge here on YT went to the trouble of showing how to remove the ringing in his and I certainly am a fan of that flat sound his makes now, until then I had no idea such a thing was even possible. He wouldn't have bothered except he knew a thing or two about just how do it and wanted to show that process to us.

Dave: your ingenious curiosity to see how something could be fabricated is an integral part of the American fabric that has made this country great! Keep it up! Love Fridays with both you and rick!

@cadjs 3 года назад

What you are describing is the curiosity and ingenuity that has enabled humans to achieve the astounding feats of engineering that we see all over the world. The term "engineer" derives from a Latin word meaning "to devise or contrive" which also gives us the word "ingenious".

@jonwatson9765 3 года назад

With all the modern tools and equipment there is still considerable skill needed but it begs the question as to the skills and methods used 100 years ago.

@cadjs 3 года назад

@@jonwatson9765 The skills and methods are fundamentally the same, the modern equipment just means less human effort is needed to implement them. In the past, labour was cheap and production was based mostly on need for a product and not driven by time. The Industrial Revolution produced the modern world where production is driven by demand for products and therefore time efficiencies are key. The demand for the products is created by marketing which only became possible with the rise of mass media. The need for speed in production has driven the reduction in quality of many products and the throw away society has been driven by the perceived constant need to upgrade to a newer product.

@andrewclarkehomeimprovement 3 года назад

Today and any number of times before, I've thought 'why are you doing that in that way because...' only later to go 'ahhh, ok, that makes sense'. Today, fitting the dash with only two bolts at the top of the wooden box frame - bit flimsy. ...and then the strengthening plates appeared. As always Dave, Saturday mornings are an education. Thank you again for all your work and Mrs Dave for all the filming and editing.

Good evening Dave! Your videos have become such a part of my Friday evenings that I have to say I'm a little disappointed when we have other plans! But at least I can watch later, and as often as I wish. Thank you for preserving a record of your trade and providing such a combination of education and entertainment in the process. You are an excellent example of a tradesman and businessman who makes an honorable living with his hands as well as his head, and then shares it with us! You give us all something to aspire to, and we are much better for it. Thank you.

This is like the old westerns when the cowboy is riding a horse with just a bead role. But when he stops he has a coffee pot, cups, bacon and eggs. Reality he has a mule with big saddle bags ( or your watching TV ).

Hi Dave ☺ thanks for the video, the progression of differant ways you tried to swage the half hexagon into the hot iron were interesting, I kept shouting find a piece of hex bar, lol, but you got there in the end, it's amazing how much heating, bashing, welding, and bending of steel goes into a horse drawn vehicle, the whole thing is a complex mix of differant skills /trades, and if I may say you've shown us your master of all that's required to get the job done, looking forward to the next one, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.

@richardmattingly7000 3 года назад

Dave likely had a threaded Hex Rod Coupler around the shop about the right size and depending on its size most Hardware Stores carrying them for a few dollars in the fastener/bolt etc section. Indeed since there threaded a bolt or rod can be put thru them to give it added strength when using his so it won't deform. The dash will help keep the dust/debris down as it always did and helps the reins stay clear of its power source since its natural for a horse to respond to a touch on its flanks as a danger. Indeed this is why jockeys often tap them with a crop there to keep them at speed though many rarely whip the animal since its training usually only needs contact not being beaten to get the response desired. Often the cracked of a whip was for its sound and only a bad driver would ever let it contact the horse and many took a hard stance with those that did..

@johnwright6706 3 года назад

@SkylersRants 3 года назад

One of the challenges watching your RU-vid videos is that I often have no idea what something is that you’re making. What is a “dash?” At the end I realized that it’s some kind of metal frame in front of the wagon. What does it do? It took me a really long time to figure out what a “reach” is. Double trees weren’t hard to figure out, but the pivot point was quite mystery for a long time in your videos. Love your channel, love your videos, but sometimes the mysteries go a bit further than just to pique my curiosity and become frustrating.
