Excellent work, very organized and methodical. I really like how you made the temp-jig to bend the axle straps into shape. I make jigs much the same way and folks seem to go buy some expensive thing and use it once, your method re-uses the same material for yet another project. Very fine quality work and application of superb quality, thank you again for making these videos. I watch each one. Jim

These are a lot of nice films, it is nice to remember the rural cars, great health from Serbia

I'm glad that you have your music at a low decibel....allows the viewer still hear the work going on. I wish others followed this 'thought process'.

Two videos in one day, you will spoil us.

You end every video with a sense of friendship and generosity. Thanks for sharing your dedication and hard work with us.

I love the way you write down all your figures and mark them off as you go. you can always look back on your notes. Mr Engels your metal work is outstanding. I could watch this work for a wile. thanks for sharing Sir

Two episodes? What a treat!!! Thank you!

It's amazing to watch you work, you are so skilled at what you do, maybe I can learn some things watching these great videos, thanks

Good evening from SE Louisiana 5 Mar 21.

Magnífico, estou assistindo todos os vídeos, estou encantado.

Even without the "Humor "-part it is fantastic work still. And if you ever will 'freakout ' again, I will watching it and never complain about! 👍👏

I thought that I was watching something all over again!? Love watching you work! I envy your skills.

God has blessed you, sir. It is awesome to watch you work. Thanks for sharing.

That vertical belt sander is a metal eating monster!

You are an inspiration to me... your great attention to detail is so great it shows! Thank you!

fasts hammer in the west. thanks for a good show.

human planishing hammer!!!! Love the work...well done!

I really love work. I could look all day how You work! :)

So nice, I watched it twice! Amazing.

you need one of those orange plastic dead blow hammers. I find them to be way better at bumping things around. They are quite cheap at harbor freight. Great channel, thanks!

i just love these videos if i was young and lived in the area i would jump at the chance to learn from this guy im sure their are young people near that instead of playing video game go lean the dieing trade that this guy could teach them amazing and should be passed on

"....without my so-called humor"" And now, back to our regularly scheduled silliness....

That beautiful beast is coming along nicely.

Amazing craftsmanship Sir!

Just simply terrific.

I would like to know why one person disliked this episode. I liked it along with all the rest.

perfect pieces are beautiful.

With or without the Humor I enjoy

I loved the "humored" version myself :)

Amazing

Bravo Respekt 😍❤🤝✌

Much of the purpose of the wood parts are as spacers and fillers to hold the metal parts that take up much of the load, at least at most of the key stress points.

Just clicked "Like". Now I am sure that is "again". Haven't I seen this video before....? Think I need a drink, and its only 10.00 am.

Mesmerizing, but I wonder about the unprotected steel bolts. The shanks are going to rust quickly.

Is that a porter cable belt sander? Keith rucker just bought a very similar one

Good observation guys!

Still an interesting video.

It's friday !

Re that first set going through the hounds, wouldn’t it have been possible to use something like a paper template to cut the appropriate S like shape straight from the metal, instead of starting with a straight oval and then forging it to conform to the angled direction?

But I like your humor

Terribly sorry if you misconstrued my comment last week as my having not enjoyed your humorous sidetrack; I was but trying to give some humor back to you. Thanks for the videos.

I thoroughly enjoy every second of every one of your videos, almost like a sort of 'therapy'....but don't get any ideas about 'billing' me for that..!!

3:55...different pointer tool for axle clips

I've been watching you for some time. One thing I've noticed, in addition to your skill (which is awesome) is how you handle some very heavy pieces. My God, man. What did you do to get ready for this gig? Bench press volkswagens? Wrestle bison? I picked up on your good body mechanics, which probably helps you a lot and keeps you from crippling yourself but still, some of those pieces are darned heavy. I admire your style but you (forgive me) ain't no spring chicken. How long you figure you can keep this up?

Keith. Only Kieth I ever met, was Kieth Merrill. (Made The Great American Cowboy, and got an Oscar for that, and also made Take Down.) David Johnston, the executive producer on Take Down, married me and my first wife. He was a Mormon Bishop, and had those "keys." steve

Just curious: What makes you decide to hot punch some holes and drill others? Thanks and best regards, Gottfried

Punched holes are square to take the square under the head of the CSH bolts

spentacle Thanks for your clarification. I understand the square holes for heads of carriage bolts. That’s why I asked about punching vs. drilling. Can’t drill a square hole, but a rotobroach (sp?) looks like it is drilling a square or hex hole. However, Dave punched some fairly large round holes. Just trying to understand blacksmith vs. machinist thinking / work optimization. I can machine, but can’t call myself a machinist. But, I don’t have _any_ experience black smithing. Thanks and best regards. Gottfried

Dave, Thanks. Great explanation. After your explanation, one understands the extra metal that gets "piled up" around the holes that you drifted/punched. Best regards, Gottfried
