The Borax wagons are how I found you, still mind blowing to see the scale of them. Good reminder.

Same here. Been hooked since.

Dave one thousand times over thank you.

thanks for the walk down memory lane.

The Borax wagons was my introduction to your channel.

THANK YOU, I AM GOING TO GO BACK AND WATCH IT ALL OVER AGAIN, THANK YOU AGAIN...

For me my Saturday starts with waking up and seeing what Dave has posted. And after viewing I feel and know there still is sensibility and purpose to the human race. Again my thanks to you, Dave, for your ways and work.

Amen Brother. I was stationed in Montana, now in Northwestern New Mexico. Yes, there is still common sense in the world. If you don't possess it there in Montana, you could die. When I want to go off the rails, I think of my neighbor's good sense there and now here, and I straighten right back up. Blessings.

Thanks for taking me down memory lane. I told my shrink Dr. many years ago that watching you at the forge, is much better for my PTSD than any of the horrible medicines she has me taking.

It's hard to believe its been 5-years already. I think your suggestion to assemble the overall video group into such an overview is good and I believe will draw even more followers to your channel. Thanks for sharing your experience with us all.

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

Jeez every time I watch the borax wagons I can't help but think its the Sherman tank of wagons. Couple behemoths! Long live the memory of the big hitch era!!

I started watching your channel with this series. Hard to believe it was 5 years ago. I'm still fascinated with what all you can do an what you are able yo recreate.

Nice to watch the build of the Borax wagons again.

The video of these wagons hitched up and rolling was one of my favorite videos of all time.

Dave you have been joining me for Saturday mourning breakfast for 5 years! THANKS Dan H

Thanks for the memory dave. Will for sure rewatch borax build vids

Thank you. Great synopsis. I will watch the full series over Christmas.

Well it's nice to see you back. I expected you to be gone a lot longer. I hope everything went well in getting your dear friend laid to rest. My condolences to you and the family. May he rest in peace.

Hard to believe it's been that long.... awesome. Thank you.

I wasn't here for the original build, thank you for this recap.

Thanks Dave for the excellent recap of the complete build. You’re so right in suggesting to folks to look up and watch the build from the start, it is awesome and reviewing those videos shows how much work was put into re-building the complete set of the 20 Mule team wagons. I really appreciate your caring for your profession and sharing with us. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻

Oh boy. Don't know how I ended up here but MAN am I excited.

More amazing the second time to see. The first was spectacular!!

Thanks for the memories!

I watched the originals as they went up, but it was great to see it all over again! Quicker, this time.

What memories. I enjoyed this video.

It is still just as awe-inspiring to see the wagons roll out of the shop for the first time.

Thank you for this condensed version. I stumbled across the original videos and they got me hooked. Have been subscribing ever since. I am still mightily impressed with your workmanship and your approach to what you do. An inspiration. Thank you for bring much enjoyment.

yeah i found him building these wagons and i am still here.

A 4th of July parade had the borax wagons come through Hailey, Id when i was a kid. They are great wagons with a wonderful history. Thanks!!!!!!!

I've had the pleasure to see them in person in Death Valley. Dang impressive up close too!

Me too. I think they were overbuilt. If you all get a chance go to the western museum in Santa Barbara..... amazing stuff wagons, saddles, bridles ......

I’ll never get tired of watching your videos. Can’t believe I’ve been following you this many years.

i loved seeing all this again. a very special time for me. thanks very much. i have not missed a show yet.

Such a Beautiful recap of your work on the Borax Wagons 👍💯. Pure and true Craftsman at work 👍👍.

A once in a lifetime experience for all of us. Thank You.

History in the making. So important. Thanks Dave and crew

Somehow, I think calling you a, Real Craftsman, is an insult! You are so much more than this! WOW! Truly Beautiful work! I'm definitely going to watch the whole playlist on this one!

Thanks adage for posting this recap of the Borax Wagons. I sympathize with you on the passing of your friend, may God give peace and understanding to persevere. Thanks

Take my advice: binge watch the entire Borax play list. This was my introduction to Engel's Coach shop. I came on to this channel as they were turning the oak hubs, which is the first video in the series, and, I think, the 5th video Dave posted. I have not missed one since.

After watching the build, then recently going to see the rig at the Laws Museum, I was glad to watch this again..

I saw them last week in person. They are very cool and very large. I've seen the originals as well....

As I sit here and watch in amazement the construction of this wagon, I can’t help but think of the process that was involved not having all of the modern electric equipment back in the day,im 77 , and still amazed at the skills this man possesses 👍

Seeing I have the time, I plan on watching the Borax build again. What an amazing project.

Hard believe it was 5 years ago Since that time I have been watching videos on buggy wheels and carriages. When I watched the review of the borax wagon build I got a new appreciation for how massive everything was especially the ironwork. What a job it was fabricating, forge welding and assembling these thick heavy pieces of steel. And they all fit!!! Great to step back and see this build again.

It brings me to tears to watch this again. Thank you Dave. Great Job

this was a once and a lifetime build . i got to see them in a parade

This video as absolutely inspiring. You don't see craftsmanship like that very often now days.

This is the project that first brought me to your channel. I got to it near the end of the project, so I was able to spend a few weeks binging the Borax project for a few hours each Saturday afternoon. Now, I can see it again without spending all that time.

I cannot imagine changing a tire in the field on one of these! Thank you for sharing!

Dave, my fascination with your channel, particularly your Borax wagons, helped save my 165 day Wordle streak today! I'd have never guessed BORAX without your help! THANK YOU!

As many others here I started watching with the wagons. I was amazed then and am still. I imagine the effort required to put the video together was nearly as great as doing the wagons themselves. Anyone who has not seen the entire series must go back. I thank you for the wagons and I thank you for this review. Have a great day and stay safe.

I said it before and i'll say it again... You're a genius Mr. Dave! Bravo...

Blast from the past!

Those borax wagons are and will for ever remain your magnum opus, Dave. You may be proud of your work!

Damn fine work Mr. Engles.

This was how I heard about Dave, my brother phoned me and said that I had to check out these huge Borax wagons. I was instantly totally all in. I really, really like the steam bending and the hows and whys of steam bending. Thank you, Dave, and of course Mrs. Engels, Jim H.

As kid, I bike a model of these wagons with models of mules, we put it on top of dad's gun cabinet! Cool! I loved this build!

A legacy of a great craftsman. Absolutely wonderful !

Congratulations... For sure this accomplishment will be forever reminded! Fantastic job!

Wow, that was a beautiful thing to behold. A bunch of wood and iron went in that shop and under the guidance of the skilled craftsman's hands, those gorgeous pieces fine artwork rolled out.

I am here for the long haul and enjoy every mile of the ride,thanksDave.

I had watched the original borax build series, but it was fun to watch the synopsis. Thanks for posting. I enjoy watching your craft.

Back-engineering and fine craftsmanship in many trades at its best. The pros make it all look so easy.

I never get tired of watching these videos! I definitely missed my calling!

You sir and your life's work are a national treasure.

Such marvelous talent. This shows just how difficult this build was; and to bring it back to life for future generations to see just how difficult life was back then.

I was so fascinated at how much knowledge he has to accomplish what he can do, particularly with a shop full of the variety of assorted tools and machinery to do what ever does. I envy this man. He is a conqueror in his trade and God bless him.

The Borax wagon wheels were what I watched first as an introduction to you. And thank you for the synopsis.

Gil n barb brought dad the hat back when they stopped to see you. Ive so enjoyed seeing all your videos

Tons of respect to you and your buddy there. i wish i lived close i would come by with a case of cold ones and good laughs every week!

Thank you Dave, for thinking of us all and putting this fine video together. I do not think you can get this kind of material in school books, this is hands on and the real deal.

Thanks Dave…now I have to go back and watch the entire series, just to make sure I didn’t miss anything! ( 👍👍❤️Hehehe)

I was here from the beginning and watched with eager anticipation for each new video.... the trip down memory lane was equally as exciting.

Imagine way back when they did these...with no drill presses..power tools all by hand ..now they were craftsmen...thanks for your hard work..

Man I thought I worked hard as mechanic at 63 years old. Nothing compared to what you do. Great channel.

Thank you for your work in putting this overview of building the borax wagons. Something that once was so common a task, but today is a unique one. Stay safe, and thanks again.

Stunning project!

*- Excellent overview and encouragement for those who have not seen it all from the beginning.* *- I didn't realize I had missed so much of the beginning iron building and fitting part, Dave.*

Thanks again Dave! Master of so many diverse trades.

Great Synopsis Dave from someone who has watched all of the videos, many of them twice.

Thanks for the "recap" of the process; still amazing. God Bless You and Mrs. Engel.

WOW, Goosebumps! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Like many of your followers, the original series on these wagons is what hooked me on your channel. I grew up in Southern California and spent considerable time exploring around the old mines, even had a model of the entire 20 mule team rig as a young kid some 60+ years ago, so this project was (still is) incredibly interesting. Hard to believe it has been 5 years already! As always Dave; thanks for sharing your incredible craftsmanship and thanks for allowing all of us to tag along on this wonderful journey. Best wishes to you and Diane!

Also that period correct blacksmith shop gets huge thumbs up from me!! Miss swinging a hammer haven't done it in ages.

I can remember watching this and thinking how on earth you did what you did and now a condensed version. How did you manage to condense the hours and hours of video down to 27:43 and still tell the story. If I could do just 1% of what you can do I would be a happy man but I don't think that I can even muster the 1%. Thank you for re-posting this very enjoyable video.

Guys. Very unique craftsmanship. I’m impressed

This is pure craftsmanship which can't be seen any where else to often , all accomplished with know how and ancient machinery. Eberhard (Germany)

When I was a kid, my older brother sent to Borax for a model of the 20 Mule Team wagons, inclding all the mules! My 92 year old, our Pastor's wife, has that same model yet.

I watched that entire series & many before & many sins, looking forward to many more

Wow! Incredible craftsmanship! Good to see your knowledge and skills are being passed on to another generation. That's so important.

I watched the original play list, when I first started watching your channel. It was nice to see the main points again.

Love dem wagons!

History remade with skill and craftsmanship

It was such a privilege watching these borax wagons. Just seeing this small clip has shown me that I missed out on some at the beginning. I am looking forward to reviewing them. Many thanks

I see the use of numerous "modern tools " in this process . This does not take away from the craftsmanship being shown here, but it does make one appreciate even more the tremendous task and abilities that craftsman of the past overcame and excelled at 140 plus years ago.

Thank you for making this video and letting it see me.

After seeing the build I now understand why yall needed so many mules to pull it have a day love from TEXAS

Amazing Craftmanship!

Even for those who were fortunate to watch the earlier vids of this monumental endeavor - who wouldn't want to revisit such history in the (re)making?

Those wheels are absolutely incredible!

This is where it all started for me. I have been fascinated with the wagons since childhood. 20 mule team borax commercials, Death Valley Days, then there you were building those wagons. So now I'll be here watching what ever you restore.

Magnificent craftsmanship on the part of those highly skilled men who built these wagons. I salute you!

thank you for reposting this , great build
