Hello. I'm French, but having studied in California, I prefer to listen to you speak English. And, besides, I like your accent, it differs from what I heard in Los Angeles. Keep it up, and congratulations on your accomplishments.

I wish your videos made me want to get in my shop, but instead they make me want to watch more of your videos.

Cowboys came from many walks of life and backgrounds. Not all were useless at crafting and woodwork. Some just enjoyed the solitude. I once studied this at great length years ago. And it was pretty surprising who became cowboys and why. I also lived the life for awhile and woodwork was one of my favorite hobbies, I still love it. If one enjoyed what he did, and had access to the tools, he could well have crafted a very nice chuck box.

I had the privilege of meeting and talking to Don H Berkebile on several occasions at his home in Mercersburg,Pa, I was his heating oil delivery driver and we visited on several occasions and talked about his collections . I was upset over his death and the circumstance around it , he was a wealth of knowledge that lives on through his books.

Oh for goodness sakes David, I would have just sanded it from the start but you're a better man than I.

Even though Danish is not spoken by so many, approximately 6 millions, worldwide, I know that many people in USA are of scandinavian descent and maybe still would read the 'old' language. But I am happy to realise that your videos come with Danish subtitles. Usually I do listen to what you, Dave, are saying just for training purposes.

I've been waiting for this an episode on for a chuck wagon box build for a long time. You do great work and your videos are simple and informative. I have to admit I was a little disappointed that you didn't get to make the chuck box for this wagon. Maybe we'll see you build one in a future video? May God continue to bless and keep you.

Yes, he's planning to build one in the future.

You never would have made money in the old west as a cartwright. You are too much of a perfectionist.

I am in awe how easily the wheels turn, almost effortlessly! You created a thing of beauty yet utility. Excuse me, sir, but wagon building was an art, and dovetail and so on were pretty common. Everyone saw their work as such, and even plain things like my grandfathers' milking stools were crafted with care. As I was taught, metal wasn't common, being very expensive, till after the Civil War when coal became king.

i'm guessing that wasn't your first one man dog and pony show. You made horsing that chuck box around look like child's play.

"A little experience in wood working." Yeah, you have that covered, lol! This has been a great series, thanks!

I enjoyed your work on your chuck wagon, the ford 'T' clock, and the thousand-pound wheels you built. Also, all your interesting videos on all the skilled work you do. Clearly a highly skilled tradesman. Keep up the interesting work on wooden wagons. John Eric Hoare. British Deep seaman ,retired.

Dave and Diane, I speak Western North Carolina Hillbilly mixed in with a little Scotch Irish, but if I pay close attention, I can understand most of what is said. The rest I'm able to figure out. Thanks for doing the translations. You have a worldwide audience and in a sense, we all speak wagonese, but having the captions in your native language is really a plus.

when you pulled out the drawer to show its construction I noticed that the bottoms' grain direction is wrong, it has to be perpendicular to the drawer sides rather than parallel to them, to allow for wood expansion. I enjoy listening to your English its clear and pleasant listening to. Thank you.

The true craftsman always starts with the least aggressive method when repairing something like that sploog on the cabinet. The legacy you are leaving is amazing.

Hey Dave, Chuck Box was surely built as a cabinet would have been. Knowing a little about how wood takes stain, and my OCD, I thought you better to sand the entire exterior to have the wood able to absorb the new stain and help with the uniform finish and not be so splotchy. It's difficult to give a uniform finish when a previous product has been applied. But you knew this and did the best you could without offending the builder of the box. Sort of like 2 craftsmen butting heads. Great Video, Thanks.

It saddens me that you find it necessary to explain your actions to the naysayers but I guess such is the culture we live in these days. I for one completely understand the concepts you've discussed frequently and it is easy to differentiate between a period correct finished product and something constructed entirely with period correct methods & tools. I've been a committed follower of your incredible craftsmanship since the 20 Mule Team build, have binge watched nearly all of your videos produced before that and I'm still constantly impressed by your knowledge, skills and dedication to the craft. As always, thanks for allowing us along on this incredible journey.

It's good that there are subtitles in Russian, but I must say that you speak English (American) very calmly and intelligibly, so that a person who even speaks a little, or understands a little English, understands you!

I feel that keep your weekly show in as many languages as possible your knowledge is important and needs to be shared you are a master at your trade and must not be lost thank you

Thank you for the English CC from Oklahoma

*- I suspect Bumps and "jouncing" on the trail will wear the wood at the two bolts on the Chuck Box without two more bolts deep inside the box to keep that end from lifting.*

As a German, I like to watch English videos to improve my language skills. Many Germans can speak English, French or even Russian. Russian was the second language in the former socialist East before 1990. But there are also many immigrants with German ancestors who have lived in Russia for a long time. There are also Ukrainian refugees here. In the West, on the other hand, there is a lot of contact with English, Americans and French. These are not the only languages ​​spoken here, Europe is diverse.

I expect that there were some number of eastern cabinet makers and carpenters that moved west and set up shop looking for elbow room and fresh air. I would think the bigger outfits might have had professionally built chuck boxes in their wagons. It would keep the cooks happier and happier cooks would mean happier hands!

I appreciate your eye and your patience. I do a bit of carpentry work here and there, and strive to have my work blend with the existing work.

I appreciate the detail and craftsmanship you bring to your work. I’m told we are a dying breed and that may be right, but I’ll still share what I can with those who want to learn.

Thanks! Scraping off old finish is not a speedy or particularly rewarding... but it's necessary . Looks great!!

A consistent value in Dave's videos is pride in craftsmanship. A craftsman should be able to step back and take pride in what he/she has made in that it represents the quality their workmanship.

While sorting through my record collection this afternoon I came across an album by "The Chuckwagon Gang," a group that has been singing gospel songs since 1937, I think. On the front is a photo of a chuckwagon (of course) complete with chuck box and pan boot. I feel so smart! Never made the connection before. Thanks, Dave!

Seen a nice example of a loaded chuck wagon down in Cody,WY last week. Excited to see how well this one turns out.

Great work. Even though a cowboy wouldn't typically have built a chuck box to that quality, nothing saying that if they had access to a cabinet maker, they wouldn't have hired one.

Or access to a cabinet in an old farm house. Found items are just as good as something you can make. Some folks furnished their homes or made a meager living picking up items along wagon trains routes that the Easterners thought they needed to take to their new homes out west but realized along the way that they had better lighten the load before they hit those mountains, lol.

You remind me of my dad in 1961 built a plywood kitchen for the wayback of our VW bus and packed 7 of us from MD to CA and TX and back . HE was a teacher .

Likely had a coat of Satin Varathane on it. Looks lovely now. It is a great fabrication. That Pan Box seems to hang a bit low for Cross Country trips. A beautiful creation.

It doesn't sit there as long as one might think, lol. Its not going to rot. More often than not, the terrain would be such that 'cookie' would have to place a rock under it to get it level. Better chance of the plate rusting and rotting out the leg.

My uncle was a premier cabinet maker with several cabinets in hardware catalogs. He trained us nephews and other boys how to scrape finish and in the process taught us how to cut glass for scrapers. He made a set of cabinets for a lady who wanted the antique look. When they were finished and before he hauled them out to install, the lady came to look at them. She was unhappy because they did not look age beaten and marked. So he got his pocket knife out and started gouging the fronts where people would have gouged them over the years, carved wear on the corners, and the lady was very happy. So, what a person wants or would have been done years ago, and what a professional would do today is as you say, simply the difference between someone making a box then and a professional now is a little apart but both are done with pride of work. Back then the box was probably made by the same carpenter who made the pine box caskets.

Mrs. Engels, I have found Google Translate to be less than wonderful, sometimes, although it is highly convenient. For example, the translation to English of my French relatives' emails is bewildering. My teenagers put us on to some new software that is being used by everyone in the bi-lingual, bi-cultural group they are in at school. It seems a whole new generation better, although the free access on the web is limited to a certain quantity. It is called Deep L Translate. Easy to search up. All my best regards to you and your husband, I completely admire the operation, all the talent and arcane knowledge that goes into every aspect of the shop and video production. The product is fabulous! L

Your skills and expertise are intimidating.

It's pretty common for cabinetmakers to use beeswax to lubricate the glides on those drawers, which can easily cause the spots you had to remove. What likely happened was that the beeswax dripped out when the box was in a hot truck and laid on it's face causing the spots on the face of the drawers, then the box was moved and laid on it's back, causing the drips along the side of the case.

Watching you coat it with oil finish it almost looks like the cabinet maker put a shellac wash coat on the whole box and then spot coated the knots with a heavier cut of shellac. This was common practice for cabinet makers at one time to keep/ limit the rosin from weeping out when pine was to be painted. It was occasionally used to 'line' food storage containers keep the oils from food from being absorbed and therefore the smell of rancid food to a minimum.... just a thought. Nice work as usual 👌

GREAT JOB, GREAT VIDEO, SEE YOU NEXT WEEK...
