Start to Finish Chuck Wagon Box | Engels Coach Shop 

You revived a modern profession that was forgotten for about a century in a very professional and artistic way. Thank you and respect to you, dear teacher. 🙏💙

Back in the day, I am sure who ever gazed upon this beautifully constructed Chuck Wagon would have soiled themselves. Amazing functional art. :)

Craftsman ... woodworker, iron worker, and seamster. Incredible craftsmanship. Beautiful, well made wagon.

At 77, I'm not very likely to go into the carriage trade, but for some reason I really enjoy watching these projects come together. Keep up the good work.

Sounds like the best owner’s manual you could ever want.

A reminder of just how much work goes into these projects. I watch each week, but lose track of how many steps have been involved by the time the project is complete. Going back through it all, at one time, reminds me.

I could watch endlessly how old things are transformed and reborn in your magical hands. Sometimes I really regret that the videos are so short. Thanks Dave!

My great grandfather built wagons in St.Louis,I am proud of my heritage.I am a Maschmeier.

I'm a retired ironworker and love watching these kinds of videos to get ideas and inspiration. Thank you

Thanks to you Mr. Engel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Once again this brought great enjoyment to watch. A craftsman is a true delight. Thank you.

Lucky rancher gets the chuck wagon ! All nice, new, functional and personalized for trail travels. Lucky mules or horses will be privelidged. Great creation Dave...

An absolutely beautiful job of American workmanship anybody could ever want. True skills and dedication to workmanship that is always inspiring, but condensed like this you can really see the crafts and disciplines involved.

Great fun to be able to see that project come to conclusion, thanks for posting.

I love making repairs adding new this or that to my 1860 Newton Wagon. The chuck box supposedly built in 1867. It gives me great pleasure to teach of our Heritage and to show how life on a cattle drive was..there is much more than head em up and movem out....

Out standing thanks for showing me

Great job you have done a fantastic reconstruction on that chuck wagon nice

Impressive. My mind kept imagining the various steps to complete the wagon to the days before electricity and power tools. How hard life must have been for those folks and the contributions they made to our present societies. Thinking on that, I sometimes wonder if the world is really better off now. Having been a cook in my past years I thought about the ones that cooked the food to feed the people on trail drives and was reminded of western bound wagon trains and the likes in movies and TV shows. Great video and work on that Chuck Wagon. Many talents in one.

Great job you are a master

Great video, and the Bonus that each project gets a copy of the video beginning to end , Thanks for having us along

Just maybe even better the second time watching this project build. When I watch your videos your attention to detail and expertise you give the feeling you are making all of us one of these wagons. I would certainly be honored to own any one of your projects. Hope the receivers of this wagon appreciate the fine work as much as your viewers.

Thanks for doing!

I am not trying to compare myself to Mr. Engles, just trying to show a little of my back round. I was a Union Sheet Metal helper in 1962, and over the next 5 years I went to night school for sheet metal and I became a mechanic and welder. Over the years I honed my skills and finished my career in 2006 as a Designer, fabricator, sketcher and superintendent for what was one of the largest sheet metal companies in N.J. at that time. When I retired I started working with wood and love it. I say all this so that I can speak from a position of knowledge when I say that I am very impressed with Mr. Engles skills. I love his videos, thank you so much.

Videos like this just reinforce what an incredible craftsman you are. As always, thanks for allowing usa along on this wonderful journey of yours.

A study in craftmanship and perfection, thank you so much kind Sir

It is Very Beautiful* I Congratulate you for creating great works like these Carts* I love old carts* Thousands of applause for your great talent* Thank you very much for sharing your video* A thousand blessings for all* 👏🥰 👏🥰 👏🥰 ❤❤❤

Sure would like to see this chuck wagon in use at its new home. Great following this restoration, amazing project and craftsmanship!

A true piece of art and american history!

What a great idea! The owner gets to see all the hard and skilled work you put into restoring their pile of rusty bits.

YOU are a man to be envied for keeping old traditions alive THANK YOU.

I moan when the odd time that I watch normal TV all I get are repeats or reruns but that is never the case with you. I enjoyed this just as much as I did the first time. In fact maybe a bit more as I was just enjoying the action instead of trying to mentally digest all the facts and figures. So dare I ask... as Oliver said "can I have some more please". Thanks for posting

Mr. Engals, You are without a doubt a true craftsman in every sense of the word. I truly believe you have a great passion for the craft you do. I've heard you say it took several years of trials to get each one right. I am amazed at the way you seem to move thru the cut, glue. Drill. Align, stain, make new wood look old and the assembly. There isn't a car manufacture that can make cars with better seams and fittings. God Bless you my friend. You inspire me with my project. My 1860 Newton which I lovingly refer to as FIGGY. Thank you for all you show and share. I truly love watching you work.

Another great video Dave .

An excellent reminder of a great project, and the skills that brought it to fruition. Thank you, Dave and Diane, for sharing it with us.

Sir you are truly a master craftsman. I enjoyed the attention to detail.

Glad you showed that, Mr Engels, put the whole build into perspective and what a great artisan you are, in so many ways. RU-vid gold standard right there. Thankyou.

Fantastic job

A very multi talented craftsman. We just hope that he has children or grandchildren who can continue what he has started and developed into beautiful historical pieces of art.

You sir are a total joy to watch. This is awesome , I came back to this and watched it over and over . I'm 73 years young and enjoy woodworking and this would be the ultimate, thanks so much for sharing . Don't slow down . Can you build a stagecoach sometime ?

Making it look easy one of the trademarks of a craftsman.

Isn't that the way Henry Ford started? You are incredibly talented. Absolutely Beautiful. Thanks

Awesome video Dave, they will be proud to see how you brought the parts and pieces back to life to make an original Chuck Wagon Box their ancestors used. It turned out so great and your work and fabrication was the sign of a real Craftsman. You brought back history to our times. Thank you all for what you are accomplishing for OUR COUNTRY HERITIGE . Fred.

I hope the new owner appreciates the piece of art he now has.

What a masterpiece. Sir, you know your business.

A job well done, thank you. If I might suggest, an interesting addition to the videos might be a clock or calendar of days showing the hours, days weeks and months these projects absorb so that people can appreciate that your time is precious and it doesn’t take a few hours to collect the materials, rework and kit up the parts and pieces before the fastidious assembly even begins. I for one appreciate the archive of your knowledge that you have created. Take care.

Awesome. Love to watch a true craftsman at work.

I often come back to this channel, and am never disappointed. Beautiful work, history being preserved....just incredible!!

That is a beautiful piece of art right there. Absolutely stunning and this man has magic hands!

Thank you for another wonderful video . I truly appreciate watching a master craftsman at work the chuck wagon is an object of buity . Every time I watch your videos I learn things that help me in my wood working hobbies. Thank you Dan

The best of craftsmen are not immune to smashed fingers! Absolutely beautiful!!! I wish I could find wood of that quality down in my part of the country. As high as prices are with horseless carriages now days, a covered wagon sounds better by the day. Don't think the wife would like the bumpy ride and open air for air conditioning. Winters would be tough! Hay burners and vet bills maybe the decision point going this route. As always thanks for sharing. Ken

Fantastic job Dave.

Watched the full series but had to watch this again too, it's just too good to pass up on. She's gorgeous! It's so much fun to see you do all this incredible and beautiful work, thank you for taking the time to take us with you on the journey. The owner must be over the moon with his chuck wagon.

You,sir, are outstanding in your trade! The detail and care and detail you put into your build really shows and it was amazing to watch you!

Thank you so much for your greatness

Great talent my friend!! I’m sure, in the old days it was built by multiple professionals, each with his specialty. Thanks for sharing!!

Thank you for the great video. I'm almost finished making a modern covered Chuck Wagon that carries my Quad. Thank you for all the great help..

Brilliant craftmanship to be viewed and enjoyed , but a visual demonstration on how to make or repair these creations for the future , thank you .

Great craftsmanship in woodworking, iron work and seamster.

we enjoyed this show thanks for sharing.

Well done sir! It was as much a pleasure as it was inspirational to see your skills at work.

Very cool build. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do on your older videos. Thanks!

This man is extremely talented and the all encompassing knowledge to go with it. I'd rather have one of these rather than 10,000 lawyers or politicians.

Wow. Just wonderful!!!!!

A Man for All Seasons. Our privilege to know you.

Wow Sir, truly amazing work!!! Thank you for sharing this with us.

Coming to PBS, This Old Wagon.......... They would be so lucky. :bow:

Always enjoy seeing a skilled craftsman at work! Far too often, those who profess to be fall short, cut corners, and otherwise fudge on their projects.

It's amazing to see someone still keeping up with this craft in making a beautiful wagon

Love the experience and skill demonstrated

I'll tell you, that kind of ability only comes from repetition. To make it look so easy, there had to be a couple done before this one. I very much enjoy watching that kind of craftmanship.

Thanks Dave

Folks who say they don’t make ‘em like that anymore, never met you! I’d like to see it again in 20 years, well taken care of but with all the patina that age and use can put on it. Great entertainment and great job.

A ton of work, and a very good record of it. Good job, as always.

PHENOMENAL ! True American craftsmanship, quality all the way. An object all can be very proud of, builder, owner, and viewer. Kudos, what could be more American.

You are a master of craftsmanship in all departments, it's great to see your work done to detail, would love to learn more about your experience in work, Michael Ireland [Eire]

Dear Mr. Engels I love watching your programs and your workmanship the things that you can accomplish with your hands it will be a sad sad day when you are gone from this earth but we will miss your craftsmanship and your knowledge which will be taken with you and the sad thing is there’s no one to hand it to to continue with us work very few do this now but thank you for bringing us this program but I deeply appreciate your craftsmanship and everything you were able to do I wish I was 1/10 the man you are in your abilities God bless sir God bless and take care I hope you continue for many many years to come

Good wagon, good master!

Your editing is precise !!! You're a amazing craftsman!!! A piece of history..Thanks..

This chuckwagon is great! Also looks like an awesome camper too. Take care Dave, and Diane.

Such a beautiful way of preserving our rich Western Heritage.

It’s a work of art! 👏👍

I love it! Bless you, Sir!

Wow! Amazing! So glad you are around to continue the tradition. Thanks for sharing.
