Some Woods Are not Suitable For Wheels | Engels Coach Shop

Wood wheels require quality materials to be trustworthy. As the saying goes, "A horse without good legs is worthless." Similar for carriage and wheel building. Without good materials, the end result is pretty worthless. This is the examination of the materials provided to build these Holt logging arch wheels.

It was mighty thoughtful of them to give you all of that firewood. I'm sure it'll be appreciated in the winter.

[ddEEE]

When you peeled the wrap off those pallets, I thought to myself, "Geez, Dave's got a lot of firewood there!"

[horacerumpole]

Boy, the wind shakes in that stuff-Fraxinius Rejectus!

[davidmontgomery]

That tree in your intro and outro is quite stunning!

[jeffwisemiller]

That's some really nice firewood there. Checked, cracked, split, etc just to name a few. Thank-you Mrs. Engels for those beautiful opening shots. The autumn colors, the clear streams & lakes and so much more.

Never easy when picking up someone else’s choices. The owner should be very grateful that he has someone with your experience to keep his project on the right track. 😊

I was surprised you went through the thickness planer as you could see the timber wasn’t up to the task.
Thanks again.

[Thundermuffin]

Wonderful episode again Mr and Mrs Engels thank you for sharing. God bless and see you next week :)

I visited Laws in Bishop, Ca. last weekend and was so stoked to see the Borax wagons big as life in front of me. They look even more amazing up close as they do in your videos. I didn't know they were there and found them in their display toward the end of the visit. A big thanks for keeping that small part of our history out here alive.

I never knew the "Dave Shop" obstacle course was as challenging as that !
Love your show !

[MrJeffro]

Can’t wait to watch the two new/old projects hit the work shop. Will probably watch every episode as I do now.

I have been in your shoes so many times over owner bought materials. I look forward to seeing you and your client work out the issues. I hope and pray for the best outcome.

Excited to see another wagon build, I have worked on cars my whole life and it fascinates me how the prior transportation was built. I like the build process so I can see how they handled the joinery on parts of the wagon that were going to take the enormous forces hauling heavy loads over rough ground. This library is truly going to be a national treasure and I thank you for deciding to share it with us.

[wuudturner]

When I see a box full of random wagon parts as you had at the end, all I can think is the description "a who did it and ran" as my father-in-law used to say. That it comes out after you are done, as a complete wagon is amazing.

Very interesting as Catepillar is a major player in Construction equipment and up until recently was headquartered in Peoria, Illinois. My uncle worked for them for over 30 years and his son also worked there. Thanks for the history lesson and as always, thanks for sharing your world with us. God bless you and Mrs. Engels.

[docholliday]

Wow! I just found your channel. Why have I not found you before now? Your content is right up my alley. I will be going back and watching prior videos! 🤠 🏜️🌵 🇺🇲 New Subscriber 👍👍👍

Thanks from a Stocktonian, you got the history lesson down pat.
Old Benjamin was quite the inventor. His biggest claim to fame in the Stockton area was the tracked tractor that was used in farming the peat soil of our Delta Islands. His second and probably even greater invention of the Side Hill harvester. This was a very early project and was powered initially by horses. This harvester opened up hundreds of thousands of acres in hilly country for profitable grain production.

Well you just helped fill up my winter viewing schedule!
