The Final Salvageable Boards For Sheep Wagon Side Boxes | Engels Coach Shop 

Things do tend to add up incrementally over time. Like they say, Rome was not built in a day.

*- Bravo for you, @SeargentPeppers8858. I am glad for you.* *- Create with your mind as you find the energy to do so. Then do as you can...again and again and again, inch by inch, day by day by day.* *- I understand the energy fatigue and lost inspiration that arrives from the depression that comes out of long term disability because of a close friend's condition.*

Good on you , Mr Engles does indeed inspire , woodworking was , for me , at most fencing , a bit of chestnut paling or some post and rail . So I'm pottering about collecting bits of wood and practicing Dave's methods . Good health to you 👍

Creating with your hands is the optimum therapy.

AMEN !! A little a day keeps the doctor away !! The same for me, brother !! Got up and got moving !! @sergeantpeppers8858 - thanks for reminding me !!

😊

I like that he built them boxes the old way

😂😂👍

They get chewed up over time, so he puts tape on to keep from getting splinters.

Maybe Dave worries about woodying his hammers? Tape can stop a woody from happening. I know I've put protectors on axes. I've been known to get a little wild with those sometimes. Get back, I'm dangerous with an ax.

It's a horseshoe/ferrier's hammer

@@dianeengel4155 Thank you. Hammers are so interesting. Every nook, edge, notch, bump, bend, bulge, curve or shape has a reason that most of use will never know. I have seen some ferriers use much larger hammers. It always amazes me.

It's not actually Doppler, it's the resonance of the remaining exposed nail section.... But I agree it does sound cool.

Regards to you.

He's had it a long time. He's never been a ferrier, but he did shoe our horses.

@@dianeengel4155 Thanks so much, Diane. You and your husband have blessed the lives of thousands with great content that's so much better than the garbage on TV and in movies today. We really appreciate it.

Hi!

Dave was bandaged up a couple videos ago. I did construction 35 years, one of our saying was, "If you ain't bleeding you ain't working hard enough" My friends kids would count my booboo's. They would want me to tell them how I got each one, half the time I didn't even remember getting them. Most of them were just little cuts and scratches, but to a little kid they were like shark bites.

Good question. Also I was wondering if the family had any old photos of the wagon which may serve Dave in the reconstruction.

Dave used some of that in it. The owner hasn't been able to find any pictures.

@@dianeengel4155 when Dave's done they'll have something better than pictures. They'll have the genuine article then.

And strong! No way that sucker is working loose!

Boards with bark on it is called wane wood. It's considered a defect.

That's a good idea.

Show your son Dave's entire playlist, then say : "There! Everything you need to know! Get Cracking!". 😀

@@thomasbraeking6225 G'day, Thanks ! I've already pointed him at the Channel, and Back-catelogues, as well as the Luminary Shoppe..., (and also my 1941-vintage brother, and a couple of male Cousins from the same Grandparents...!) but whereas I seem to be "channeling" my grandfather the Wheelwright - son of a Wheelwright till he left Yorkshire & came to Oz in 1879 as a Wesleyan Lay-Preacher (?) for 4 years, before becoming a Schoolteacher... I seem somehow managed to collect most of the core of dad's father's personal Wheelwright's Toolkit, as well as his Office-Chair, Bookcase, Walking-Stick & Bandsaw, Swage-Block and a Steam-Engineering textbook from about 1901... I carved my first Aeroplane Propeller with his Drawknife & Spokeshaeve & Rasps..; an out-of-balance Wall-Hanger, at age 13. At 27 I used them, and the Bandsaw & G-Clamps while laminating & carving Wind-Turbine Rotors for charging Off-Grid House-Lighting Batteries...; and at 32 I flew behind 2 different Propellers which I'd designed & made the same way for my Ultralight Motorglider. My son has never much been into the Woodwork though, but he spent his early teenage years living between my place on weekends & holidays, & my mother's on Schooldays - with my father's (mainly Metalworking ) Workshop attached to the house in town... At 17 he was elected Deputy Captain of the local Rural Fire Service Brigade, at 18 He started an apprenticeship with the apprentice of the apprentice of my father's last ever business-partner (in 1958, for 6 months...), who, in 1960 while I was still a Foetus had acquired the electrical Test-Bench which my father had built in 1928, when he taught himself to perform "All Automotive Repairs" including "Armature Rewinding & Generator Repairs"...; as he worked his way up, to buy out his father in 1948 and specialising in Engine-Reconditioning..., instead of the Coachbuilding which he started doing in 1924..., and he retired in 1972, then died in '82 (when I was 21...). So, to be honest, my son appears to be somehow "channeling", or being inspired by the Shade of my father...; as I seem to be doing with my Grandfather...!). At 24 my son finished his Apprenticeship & became "Full Red Hat" Captain of a 2-Tanker Brigade, and at 25 his Boss sold him the Business on Vendor Finance (thereby acquiring my father's 1928 Test-Bench as part of the Deal...!). Welcome to Old Local Effect..., in that by getting him the Apprenticeship I was calling in a Favour which my father did 3 years before I was born, for the boss of the father of the bloke who repayed Willi Struve's 1958 "debt" to my father - and if I'd moved 50 miles in any direction then that Story could never have happened...(!). Search my Videos for "Wharton's Garage..." To see both the "... Revisited" , And the "... Rebooted" Versions (!). In 2019 my son drove his Firetruck & Crew over a Burning Bridge to get onto a Community of 100 Houses being burnt over in a Firestorm..., so when he was 30 they made him a Group Officer - as high as they let Volunteers ascend - he "normally" has a Task-Force of 6 Brigades & a RAFT..., to lead, as his recreational hobby... Though last season he was the particular local Yokel/Hillbilly who the salaried White-Shirts from Sydney turned to and appointed "Acting Divisional Commander" (28 x Tankers, 5 X RAFTs, 5 Helitacks, 3 x AT-802 Firemasters, and a GPS-Linked FLIR/Thermal Camera equipped Bell 412..., and a LAT, some Blackhawks and a Chinook to fall back on. And he got married at 27, which was 8 years ago... So I really can't see him having time to scratch himself - let alone learn Woodworking from scratch so as to be able to reconstruct a Farm-Wagon which he has no use for -nor knowledge of how to use... What might perhaps possibly maybe happen though, Is that I could well have a go At building a traditionally-constructed Wooden Wagon-Wheel..., featuring Helically-Pitched Wind-Turbine Aerofoil-Section Spokes - with Neodymium Magnets mounted, Polarities Alternating, all around the Felloes... and With two Sets of Pickup-Coils either side of the Wheel, forming Air-Gapped Slots between which the Felloes sweep past...., Wind-driven by the Spokes - augmented by the Shroud-effect of the Wheel's Rim (!). With a Bridge-Rectifier to convert the AC into DC, then a Wheelwright can probably Hand-build a "Traditional Electric Wooden Wind-Wheel..."(!)? And for the "Look of the thing" - I'd probably triangulate the entire "Powerhead" from Wooden Struts, using an Offset Vertical Axis and Angled Tail-Hinge - versus Gravity fighting Windspeed, to allow it to turn the Wheel 90° out of the Wind, to furl itself - in overpowering Gusts (30 mph & above...). It's now firmly on my "One-Day, WIBNIf .." List. (Wouldn't It Be nice If...). Backtrack me to my "Windmilling Warbles & Raves..." Playlist, to find some Potato-Cam quality (but Tripod-mounted...) Video of projected Silent Super-8 Footage from 1986, of me at age 25, climbing the hand-built Round-pole Tie-Wired Triangulated Tower, in 25 mph wind, to closely inspect the Operating Skypower Mk-5b... It was the later Mk-5c Which exploded, due to Gyroscopic Precession Overstressing the Main Bearing Mounting Bolts - When I attempted to manually Furl the thing. One Blade hit the Tower at 2,400 RPM plus, or so, Shattering into tiny splinters all going away, Downwind. The other Blade and most of of the Hub, Arced-over and the Tip speared 6" deep into dry rocky Ground, 3 ft from me..., and the Tower was 33 Ft from the ground up to the Turbine. It didn't miss by much... Guess who lives off (Tracked) Solar Panels, these days...(!)? Both my kids (mid 30s) also live off-grid, with stand-alone Solar setups. How's that ? It's the best I could come up with..., on a cold rainy day, stoking the fire in my "quaint little Hut" ("filthy Hovel" is also an optional Label...) in the Forest, atop the Ridge, on the Endangered Species Sanctuary. Someone has to be The Fool, On the Hill... Apparently. Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

@@WarblesOnALot Sounds like your son is the next in line of a family of extremely talented/intelligent/"can do" folks with a library of information between them. A wagon rebuild should be a walk in the park considering the sheer volume of experience and knowledge in the air! 😁

We have a video that shows it named Tour of Joliet, MT.

I think most of them are real.

It's too sturdy for that, but he says he tries to hammer sideways not down on it.

It's screwed to the step.

I have that exact Craftsman screwdriver. I got it in a 20 piece set from Sears. It can be a handy one. Since I got a #52 Hurwood I've been liking it better though. But the Hurwood is a tad bigger. Still it's a stubby considering the blade size.

Same here!

A lifetime of practice.
