Dave Stamey talks about masters and how they are true experts at what they do in life. These videos always remind me of that.

I’ve been watching for years now and I really am impressed with how you go about putting your videos together. The videos themselves are done in such a way that you explain without having to do a bunch of talking! Not to mention the fantastic library of historical information that you provide. Your decision to cut back on the wheels and do all the other projects was a good decision. Well done.

Some seem to have a natural talent for storytelling of which Dave Engel is one. His production values keep getting better.

Wish my dad was alive to see the quality of your work. He was a wizard with metal and welding.

Dave is the master craftsman that many of us wish we could be.

@@voneschenbachmusic Too true. As I have posted, ever since I started watching Dave's channel.👍👍👍

There is no substitute for real craftmanship.

Never seen anyone that fast with a hammer, must be magic

Can never get enough of watching a pro work.

I may only use parts of what I'm learning , but I expect there's some parts of Dave's litany of knowledge that'll get me out of the dark and smelly . 👍🇬🇧

This buggy is going to look so good painted and pinstriped.

I love how he doesn't tell you every little thing that's going on. He will show you and you have to figure it out on your own. I'm sure there are people scratching their heads over the thermodynamics of what went on with the cross bar.

He worped it

Of course it has been my pleasure to get to you....Work my young friend....Thanks very much once again....Just going down the road of life.....In my little sleepy little town here in Kentucky...!

Da sitzt jeder Handgriff,jedes Werkzeug kommt wieder zurück an seinen Platz......kurzum ein vielseitiger und klasse Handwerker.

First time I have seen a torch used in adjusting the brake pads. Can't wait to see the buggy when you return it to the owner.

While my subscription might appear new, i ve been subscribing since the beginning of the Borax wagon series. i have been occasionally smithing and working on my carpentry skills for about 7 years now (from ground 0 up). The other day i was up at my buddies cabin and i noticed a bunch of wagon parts (sarven style hubs, wrought iron tires, etc) then he showed me inside the shed, a 1780s wooden barrel and 8 fullsized wagon wheels with at least some of the parts. Mentioned i would be interested in bringing it back to life with a little help from a friend who has restored half a dozen or more wagons - and of course this channel! Much appreciated!

Well that will be functional in 100 years. Love the design.

That roaring fire in the stove (in the background) perfectly sets the mood for your explanations. It’s like cozying up with a good book. Thanks, Dave

What a great asset to the owner of this buggy these videos are. For generations as he passes the buggy down, his grandchildren will see how it was restored. They hopefully will see the patience and skill that goes into such a task.

I'm amazed at the amount of work that goes into these.

One thing is for sure in this shop, and that is nothing is done with a " that is good enough ." Everything is fitted exactly. The best video's on You Tube by far. Thanks for sharing your work with us Dave.

I could "thumbs up" ALL the positive comments. My fellow fans and I seem to agree, we are watching a MASTER Craftsman Extraordinare! Even the simplest thing receives your careful eye for detail. And the quality of your vids is top notch. Can't wait for the next segment. THANK YOU!

another fine example of infotainment hope all is well with you and your family give my best to Diane, I know you couldn't do this without her support.

This is worth watching.

I never cease to be amazed at your work, and you Dave not cease to amaze! Thank you from all my heart!

This episode exemplifies your skills! I could watch you work for hours.

Brake needs adjusting .... er, with the Oxy Torch. Love it.

I said it before and I will say it again, it never get old or boring watching a dedicated professional working their craft. Probably forgot more than I know...lol lol

*- I am stunned.* *- I am most pleased to be so well stunned with the your craft and the craft of your editing's capability to show it.* *- Now what?*

When he first got out his welding touch, I thought he was going to weld the wood together. I said, no way, but then I said, why not, he can do everything else.

I'm heading into my wood shop to build a custom piece. Watching this inspires me greatly. All wood though. I so want to add in blacksmithing, but I'd need a whole other shop, my 'shoe box' just handles the woodwork! One day ..... This is such great work to see and learn from.

Great alternative to lock washers Dave. Definitely this is not something anyone is going to learn via tech support over the phone ! LOL. Especially liked the method used to make those curved supports for the crossbar.

I always learn new techniques watching your videos. Very much appreciated. Thank you.

Truly amazing. Other than some of the iron and wheels he was able to salvage, the majority of this buggy has been built from scratch. All new manufacturer.

A true craftsman. Enjoy all of your videos.

I don't know why, but I found this to be one of the most interesting videos of this project.

I like how he tightens all the square nuts so they line up, what attention to detail!

Hi Dave: In the hands of a skilled craftsman, a hoof rasp, pony clamps, and a "hot-wrench" are invaluable tools! ....Beautiful buggy!! Best wishes! Gary

as a non equestrian I know nothing of horse equipment but love the engineering and wonderful evolution of the crafts involved to make such a specific thing the methodical approach used blended with the visual and audio make learning a joy thank you sir look forward to many more of your wonderful videos

Dave, My wife Melissa and I watch all of your videos with great enjoyment. You are a true craftsman and entertainer. We cut the tv cable years back and do not miss it at all. You are far far better than anything we ever saw on tv. Thank you so much for all of your efforts. Art & Melissa

Let's face it, you're doing a Chip Foose style custom buggy! Breaking it down in components that way you have is really interesting. Thanks, Regards, Solomon

What a great way to explain your comment !!!

I've driven and farmed with horses and had to "cobble" together tongues, trees and shafts before to get a job done. I never knew how 'scientific' those measurements were! Also, I'm amazed at your craftsmanship -- more like 'artistry.' Watching your video rather quickly showed me how little I knew about what I'd been doing! Thanks for a great video.

Having not be raised around wagons or buggies I find it fascinating the amount of thought that goes into the design and the different skills and work required to set one up. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skills and abilities wit us.

Amazing isn't it how much adjusting there is. I rarely if ever realize all the work that will go into repairs I do. This buggy is a bit of a crossover. I can imagine 100 years from now, someone trying to repair this, and being a bit perplexed, (if they know enough) at the somewhat incongruity of all the styles.... Great work Dave. thanks for sharing all this. I also imagine that your clients will keep a copy of all these videos, proud to keep them as a testament of your work.

I appreciate your attention to detail, including dressing the square nuts to the shafts.

A full days work in thirty minutes or less you make it look so easy thanks for the video

Pleasure to watch you work. When I watch you I think of my Dad who grew up in his uncles Blacksmith shop in Bridgeport Texas. in the late teens and early 20"s

A lot of work, the way you present the video's, even without a voice over on the individual steps, with not a lot of thought it's still easy to follow the what and why you do different things. Amazing work

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

And THANKS for taking the time to show us. Stay safe

Every time I watch you work I can feel and smell the wood.

The assembled shafts with their iron are really a work of art. Nothing like turning a pile of parts into a single, elegant wagon. And the absolutely clever way of cutting the dovetail keys with a wedge is amazingly obvious - once you demonstrate it. (A bit dangerous for my taste.) Thanks for the video.

A clever double function design on those step and brake block hangers. When you put your weight on the step to climb up it also forces the brake on harder (if the driver hadn't set the hand brake) so stopping the buggy moving and having it rolling over your foot. Also useful if the horse was a bit skittish. Clever!

I'm enthralled by the craftsmanship. Perhaps amazed is the word.

So relaxing to watch at the end of the week.

I've been watching for some time now but it still amazes me just how much of the iron work can be shaped cold (bent or pressed). 😊

Another great video of craftsmanship at it's best. the only thing that always comes to mind. is that there are too many people out there today that have no clue how much work goes into. or went into something they take for granted, and just abuse the hell out of it and treat it like trash. The new generation's "Throw away" mentality. Don't treat it with respect and care for it. use it an loose it we'll buy another one. Sad. Thanks Dave for reminding us what it takes to do that quality of work. at least we can be rewarded with your skills Thank you for sharing.

Your attention to DETAIL is always AMAZING.

Another wonderful Friday evening (in Eastern Time Zone. So 2 or 3 hours ahead of Mr. Engel). More beautiful, precise work. I wish these videos could be 90 minutes or maybe 2 hours. The sounds of the machines, hammers, saws, etc., and Dave's calm voice are so pleasing and wonderful to hear.

Hello. You have the most interesting channel on KZread. Thank you.🤝

Great job. I could watch all day.

Min 25:15 I chuckling to myself... amazing simple amazing...craftmenship like this doesn't happen over nite ....

I always would like your videos

Very nicely done buggy starting to look great take care all 😀👍👍

Dave Engels, the man with wicked cool skills! If I grow up, I'd like to have some of his abilities.

I would have liked to see the bending process for the shafts. All of what you show is truly amazing.

I agree with you. I think he buys them already bent but the process would be very interesting. He buys the wheel spokes in basic sizes and trims them to need.

Detail, details and detailed, perfection. I just love your work!

Hello Dave It is a Joy to look at your work Always a piece of Art with all the Details and little things that make your work unique. And as always there is something to learn Thank you for the possibility to see over your shoulder Greetings from Germany Take care yours Frank Galetzka

I am a painter and was an art teacher for many years. The work you do, and the final products you produce, in my mind, qualify as works of art as much as any painting or sculpture.

Wow you do so so great work 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 big fan from Sweden 🇸🇪🙏🏼

Makes me feel happy so relaxed lotta work does the soul good

Just a suggestion....on your bender (I have the identical one) the rings on the pins always drove me nuts because many times they flop over and get in the way....so I just tack welded the rings vertical onto the pins and that took care of my irritation that the darn rings were giving me. Enjoy

Just an incredibly outstanding craftsman.

Those radius guests are a nice detail on that iron work reinforcements, I enjoy your videos and look forward to watching them,thanks for your efforts.

Really enjoyed your craftsmanship in this video.

You sir are a true craftsman!

Dave, my curiosity has peaked again! There are so many aspects to your craft. I am sure it is all rewarding, but what is your favorite bit of work (blacksmithing, welding, metal fabrication, wood work, sewing, painting, wheelwright, etc.) and, likewise, what is your least favorite? ...and why? You continue to amaze me with your knowledge and skills. Great work!

The design, and alignment precision required for these buggy shafts is every bit as precise as doing a 4 wheel alignment on a new car.

i learn so much every week

Your skill level is impressive. Another great video.

Really admire your work... Thank you for producing the videos. Please keep them coming as they inspire me to do better work on the projects that I do around my home. Hello from Hedgesville, WV.

Really like the bracketry in this build

wow you have a fix for every miss-match

You are an artist. AMAZING!!

Dave I hope you have an apprentice learning the tricks of the wheelwright trade. So much to know.

Excellent craftsmanship in so many ways and in so many elements of craft that is incredible to observe in this project. There is nothing simple about this older transportation technology!

Thank you Dave for another enjoyable video....well done sir.

In the last few weeks my morning coffee never was more entertaining. Two interesting projects from Engels and The Luminary Shop. Thank You 😀👍. But a little more narration would be even more interesting.

Hi Dave☺, this was a very interesting video, always wondered how the shafts were fitted to the buggy, and nice repair to the brake block holder, good as new. Thanks for the video, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart.uk.

I just love a High Speed ball-peen hammer. Watching one never gets old. 😄
