When Plans Get Interrupted | Engels Coach Shop 

And the Oscar for Best Fabricator of a Vintage Wagon Part goes to Dave Engels!

Whilst you may find this work mundane us puriststs apreciate watching you perhorm these tasks. Thank you fot sharing

The producer must have known the only place in the world that could produce this kind of work. And could turn it around overnight! The show must (and can) go on!

Mr. Engels, your skills are exemplary. My wife and I thoroughly enjoy your videos. The fact that the movie company knew who to come to for such a masterful repair tells me that your reputation precedes you. What a fine job!

It always amazes me how you get the irons first time. That rod bend right around to the width of the tongue, while heating and then it actually fits!!!. Truly you are a master of "Art To Part". Amazing video and work Dave!

When I saw this part at 13:13 my thought was "but where it's gonna fit, and how?" And then I watched the bending process, and thought "wow". That takes some skill to do it that way, and get it right... I mean, a LOT of it.

Always fun to watch your videos. Even when it's one of those panicsville style quick jobs. I did smile at how you took the time to "clock" every nut square to the irons. It might be a rush job but no one is going to rush you by THAT much, eh? 😀 And a note to your video editor. These videos are always a great blend of talking and action. The pacing and proportioning between explanation/story and the sped up but not too fast action is really close to perfection. This is a big part of why the Engel's videos are so enjoyable. A big pat on the back to whoever is doing the editing and set the pacing.

fancy bending there Dave, you are a cagey feller. Nice work. Keep smilin

Watching you form the iron that was missing from the end makes me wonder, "How many people would know they could do that?" Then I realized that's only a minor part of it because "How many people would know HOW to do that?" You welded a straight round rod into holes you drilled into a piece of flat iron. What you did next was unquestionably a work of art as you put a precise bend in the round rod. That blew me away. Your near infinite talents in working with wood and iron never cease to amaze!

What a wonderful video it is a joy to see the precision of all of your work and endeavors. Thank you for sharing.

Wondering what in the world were you doing welding heating bending. and then a master peace appears, Awesome Sir

The absolute best channel on RU-vid bar none!!!! As always, thank you for sharing your life and times with us, God Bless America and God Bless people like you.

That hand-bending was insane. Thank you for sharing that.

*- It is so wonderful seeing you by hand's experience shape a perfect hitch point so quickly, Dave.*

Loved that double U bend in the vice, I was scratching my head till the end and there it was!

Where else in the world does a coach shop get so much walk-in business? Cracks me up.

Outstanding work on that repair work. Hopefully the production company made it worth your while.

You are the carpenter and mechanic that I aspire to be

That was a really swell bend you pulled there. Years of experience say their word. Nice!

OMG, sir! how I love watching you make, fix, Wheels... its pure joy! Ok, I have one complaint.. it was only 17mins :)

that freehand eyeballing bending is awesome !!

I went to the local museum the other day,, they have a wagon there that has 2 seats and both of them have the curved irons so they can be moved,, also the supports are pretty much like yours,,, curved, Had never paid much attention before watching your mud wagon vidio,, Thanks

A true old-world craftsman taking care of his customers!

Mr. Engels, like most have already said, you continue to amaze me with your craftmanship and the ease at which you display with your work. I always look forward to Every video you produce and post. Your narration is calm and relaxing as well. Keep up the great work and thanks for including us on your journeys.

Thanks for sharing your ease of reacting to what Life gives you. It's going to be good for the movie crew and a spare to boot.

One of those videos you know where they start, but the end is a surprise. Cool 👏

Great job Dave, dropping whats going on and doing something and getting on another job is the way this country got going years ago.

I hope you get your name in the credits for fixing that swing tongue ASAP! Like they say "Expect the Unexpected" Thanks Dave 👍

Just another masterclass day in the life of a true craftsman ..brilliant ! Thank you for sharing .

"the show must go on" nice work!

Always educational and entertaining, sir.

beautiful, Dave-does-it-again!

Another good one for the books, in and out with a spare to boot, that's good service. I enjoy watching all your videos but the iron work is especially intriguing, thanks Dave.

Thanks Dave

Watching him bend that rod with the oxy torch was literally mind bending. Pure wizardry.

Amazing craftsmanship and attention to detail thank you

Watching the way you freehand made those bends with the torch was a an absolute joy , albeit just a hitch, you put as much skill and precision into building it up as you do any wheel or entire mud wagon.

Talent like you wouldn’t believe. This channel rates up there with the best of them. Where I am from wagons are a thing of the pass however the technical aspect of putting these wagons together is mind blowing.

Good Evening Dave and Diane, lovely bit of ironwork made up. I know your sick of ghem, but nice to see some wheels might be on the books. Glad to see you have the same type of days I do. Regards Richard 🇬🇧

Magic!

That bend was super slick! Impressive. ✌🏻❤️🇺🇸

Lucky for them that you were available to make the repair. Great job and video. Thanks.

This is pretty interesting we need this type of video

Thank you For all the teaching to Us

Hi friends enjoyed the video have a day love from TEXAS

Very good

I wish I lived closer. I would come in and work for you just to work on some wheels and learn how. I’ve always wanted to learn how to repair them. I used to work at an outdoor theatre and we had several wagons that always needed repair. It would have been nice to know how to repair them.

It's hard to turn a person down that's in need,THANKS for all you do🤗😎🤗😎

always a pleasure to look at you

Once again thanks for the video.

Had to laugh realizing your the only person I have ever seen actually using bolt cutters to cut bolts🤣 God Bless you and your family. I really enjoy your content.🇺🇸

here again, yay! 15:50 piece is genius.

Howdy from Sacramento! The work you do is fascinating and your workmanship unparalleled. Thank you for sharing!

excellent! impressed!! your work is truly "KAMI-WAZA"

Always a pleasure to watch you work!

Fascinating metal working.

I love the bolt cutter trick! Gonna have to try that next time.

That was some impressive metal bending 👍🏻

thanks for sharing

Well Done

That was some ASMR stuff right there.

Great Job Dave, saved their bacon again!! Fantastic work well done. Thanks for sharing with us . And now the rest of the video on the axle and wheel save. Looking forward to how you do it. Stay safe and keep up the fun. Fred.

Very good show.

Another nice job.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for sharing 👍

Love the grain on the tongue blanks. Thats some beautiful wood

You make it all look so easy. It’s not for a long time.

Well done Dave!

Cake pans make great cleaning pots.

Most interesting as always, Mr. Engle.

How nice that you made them that blank. Very interesting about the boxings that did not fit properly.

Nicely done! Thanks for the video.

Stay safe and we'll see you next time.

" If you want something done, give it to a busy man. "

Gotta love those old steel enameled refrigerator crisper bins. I keep several on hand for much the same as solvent pan/oil pans.

Always enjoy being invited into your shop, great video

Your work is smooth and flowing and amazingly accurate.

You know, some day, out of the blue, he's going to casually bake and decorate a huge elaborate wedding cake from scratch, and he'll bake it atop his wood stove. And I for one won't be the slightest bit surprised when it happens. Is there no limit to this man's talents?

Wow, that is some nice metalwork.

Quit hitching clydesdales 2008. I still have a spare tongue I made. No more wagons lol. I so enjoy your work thank you.

Masterful !!!

Incredible ... and you make it look so easy. Fabulous metal working and welding.

You truly amaze me ! Thank you and God Bless !

It is interesting to see you use your cutting torch head instead of a rose bud for the bending.

Beautiful Art in a hurry,

To be interrupted to do more urgent work means that your services are highly sought after and, with any luck, highly respected.

Interesting you mention movies. Anything I watch now from the 'West' i'm there looking at the wheels and cart. 1883 was particularly good in that respect!!

Good Video David. I love to hear the metal ring.

Good stuff Dave.

Another great "Spur of the Moment job" I held my breath on those two 180 deg bends, kept waiting for "The split" that thankfully never came. and I can breathe again!. Thanks for sharing. ECF

I hope movie emergencies pay double!!!! I always like watching you make wheels and hubs.

Yet again Dave, an exemplar of a skilled craftsman delivering the goods to a customer who needs it yesterday.

Even with the hot wrench you are an artist. Great work Dave.

Skills, skills and more skills! Dave, you're amazing!

Great video!!

Amazing work.

Well done again!
