Plus 1 more. Friday evening or Saturday morning, well spent!

Better than anything on TV!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Engels. Your tone of voice is deep, yet soft and gentle. Your physical manner seems hard working but with deliberate finesse. And your vocabulary seems earnest and humble. In short, never having met you, I would judge you to be a friendly, kind, and honest man. But I'd bet you could rip the arms off a gorilla!

It is so so soothing to watch you work, alone and calm in your workshop. Hello from France.

A pleasure to watch as always. Well done and thank you from South Africa.

I have enjoyed watching these videos enormously, I binged watched for several weeks to catch up and now have to wait for each week's update. Well worth it.

I love the way you film not just the business end of machines, but also the other parts of them running, belts turning, etc. It gives such a more complete view of what’s going on. The next best thing to being there! Great work, such a pleasure to watch!

Again I say, Thank You so very much another great video, you are the best!

One of my 1st jobs as a kid was drilling holes in a factory, that old belt drive drill press brings back many memories.

Awesome series. Thank you for doing the how-to series. Makes me appreciate the artistry and craftsman of what it took to make these wagons. You are a treasure.

The major reason people like watching you is your dedication to a craft. It's unheard of today. Much needed craftsmanship is the soul of a trade. During WWlI, what made the Merlin engine in the spitfire fighter superior was the craftsmanship in assembly. The engineering specs were no better than any other on its time. The engine ran poorly until mechanics building the engine made it perform. We still laugh at the triumph of craftsmanship over engineering. Thank you for showing the new generation what that is.

Totally a wonderful project. I hope you know there is history being preserved, I think you do,

Those antique machines are the best for this job!

That old drill looks like a man killer. Thanks for the video.

I love your precision freehand work - a highly developed 5th sense !!!!!!

Your drill press is a thing of beauty

26" if the bit is long enough. You just brighten my day every time I watch you. Thanks, Rick

Once again , over too soon ! Can't get enough of your skill , presentation and your gentle voice !! Thank you for giving me something to look forward to !!

Wonderful to see the camel back in use 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Very interesting. I hate seeing each episode end, can't wait to see next weeks.

That old drill press is a beautiful piece of kit could watch it running all day ! a drop of oil on it here and there and I bet will run for ever ,what a quality bit of engineering that is !!.

Craftsmanship second to none!

The amount of work you do in one day is amazing and inspiring.

Love your videos. Your drill bits are crying for cutting oil when you drill metal!

A person seeing the wagon somewhere would never believe the amount of hard work that you put into each one. I for one am amazed at what you do. Great job and keep the videos coming.

You've got all the coolest machines. Especially that drill press. Versatile, useful and a work of art. Thanks for sharing.

No doubt about it. My wife shakes her head when I bring home another tool, but she quite complaining a long time ago because every time I fixed or built something, I'd show her the tool I had to have to do it. "Hey, if I didn't have this tool, that wouldn't have happened!" So I keep bringing tools and she doesn't fuss. But where does the tool-bringing end? I can't see that far down the road.......

Dave, you are having too much fun!!!!

"There's no tool like an old tool", I'm saying to myself as I face my 65th birthday! What a beautiful machine!

Love that drill press !

As always, great, Dave.

It is content like this that caused me to quit television almost a decade ago and never look back. OUTSTANDING JOB!

Of all the hundreds craftsmen on KZread, You are by far my most favorite craftsmen to watch. Thank you!

I never get tired of watching yo

As always, another great video, Dave! steve

I have always been amazed for many years about how early pioneers traveled west with the heavy Conestoga Wagons. What I always wondered was, WHO fixes those things out west in the middle of nowhere when they break? I understand a "Smitty" could do some things, but a Wheelwright is a whole different game! I just found this channel yesterday (021820), and am spellbound by this craftsmanship !! I like the 8x sped up chipmunk actions. Thank you.

love the camelback! thanks for sharing!!!

Truly amazing! Looking forward to the next step!

Great production and editing quality. Tells the story very well and gives the viewer a real feel for the process. Well done!

You sir are a true master craftsman Thanks!

Master craftsman at work. Excellent!

thanks again for your time to show your good work.

Great job thanks for sharing

Love watching your videos

Dave. Thanks again for a great video.

Fascinating watching you work , Keep the video's coming

Great show as always.

Thank you for the wonderful and interesting work. I look forward to continuing

Functional art! You are a master, Sir

Very nice job

Anything involving the borax wagons I find fascinating. Thanks for sharing, Mr. Engel.

Best intro music, and a work of art to admire. Thanks much.

You are amazing!!!

That drill press is pretty neat. Great work with the rasps.

Another great video Sir. ..

love the old camelback drill press, i have a tiny version of it. as a fellow old machinery collector/user, i know what goes into getting these old machines usable again. All of my stuff is much smaller, sized for the typical homeshop or small commercial shop and most of it is from the 1930's and 1940's

That's an amazing piece of machinery!

You are a true craftsman I love watching your videos

Great grampa would be proud of you!

Gradually working through all your videos. Wondering when and how you came to possess the camel-back drill press. The stories behind how and when your shop came together and evolved would be interesting. Maybe I'll find some of them as I dig through all your videos. I look forward to your weekly updates. Thanks for the effort to put these together. Appears a good number of hours goes into producing and editing each one.

Thanks again. Can't tell you how much I enjoy watching these videos. I find them really inspiring.

The perfection you bring is truly awesome! I can’t wait till ea Friday for your next video to show. Thanks as always for the videos they are great!

Thanks for sharing, That drill press has some real history in the many years of use. Same with your power hammer. All amazing tooling. A C.N.C. machine couldn't do a better job. It's always a pleasure to see your work. Thank you for your video..

Beautiful work. It is such a pleasure to watch what you do.

Very nice!

Looks good, keep it up!

When I saw that Little Giant automatic hammer (or whatever it's called) I thought "well, that's pretty neat piece of machinery" - and then I saw tha camel-back drill press... Great video - interesting content, great skills, good editing - a pure pleasure to watch (and learn). Good job, guys!

I love this channel🖒

Thanks again, Dave, It’s the combination of carpentry and blacksmith that draws me to your channel - I’m 63, and when I was at school in the uk we had separate classes for each, with lathes and forges which I’m sure today are not allowed for what ever reason. I leaned a lot the that stood me in great stead in the years that followed as first a mechanic and now as a woodworker. Thanks for your ever instructive videos!

I like Dave's mix of old and new techniques too. Do it the old fashioned way when it matters and use those Makitas to keep the labor expenses down for the customer when it fits the job.

Can I wholeheartedly agree with you Paul on you comment. I too am from the UK and in the same age group before health and safety. I loved woodwork and metalwork at school, if only we'd had the internet back then to see the work real craftsmen were producing. P.S. no excuse offered for saying 'craftsmen', it's me age.

I love watching you use the old tools/machines. They sure dont make them like the used to. Amazing work.

Here I thought you were only making the wheels. That is alot of love you are doing to fabricate the wagon.

And the award for coolest drill press ever goes to...that one!

You never fail to impress. Your skills are impressive. Love the pictures of your beautiful state. Cant wait for the next video.

I love these full wagon builds. Must be a nice change after the repetition of those cannon wheels.

You, good sir, and myfordboy are two of the best craftsmanship channels on KZread. Thank you for making these!

Drilling holes straight like that, by eye, is black magic to me.

Thanks for the video. Very entertaining for an old engineer whose working days are over.

Great job, beautifull drilling Machine, regars from Argentina

Beautiful dance you do.

You , sir , are a superb craftsman and Artist. Wish I had your shop 50 years ago !

What a cool old drill press.

Thanks for sharing! 😁

Enjoyed the video. It's really taking shape now. That old drillpress is nice. Thanks for taking the time to produce the videos. Y'all take care and God bless.

Any power hammer is good but I was wishing for a 100 pounder for you in this video. Nice work as usual!

Pleasure to watch....what incredible strength and stamina, hammering out that piece by hand, and beautiful work!

That drill press is a nice piece of equipment. I agree with your guess that it was once driven by a water wheel or steam engine. Thanks again, Dave, for another excellent video.

Super interesting!

I like the old drill press, that must have been quite the drill press in its day.

Wow 26" that does sound handy. You have the neatest tools. Love watching them work. Sounds like you got the crud. Hope you feel better soon.

Ha. The 11/16" drill shavings looked a bit like a whirling deverish in full dance. The complex chamfer is quite intriguing indeed. Well done sir and thanks to you once again.

That was a properly sharpened 11/16th silver & demming drill. Enjoyed that clip :) Nice power hammer Mr. Engel ~ Richard

I liked the comment at the end. I must admit as I' was watching you do all the work with the power hammer and that wonderfully complex drill press, that I was thinking there had to be a simpler way to do this. But I guess not.

I'm so glad to hear that a "fifth wheel" is also called a "king pin". On quite too many friendly outings I've been the "fifth wheel" .

makes my day!

Yet again the skills and knowledge imparted by the video demonstrates a real craftsman at work. Wish I lived in the USA as I could then perhaps visit the shop. Keep up the great work. Stay safe and well. Thanks

you have been gifted by god my friend.

That old drill press is a dandy. I am familiar with Aurora Indiana, you would never guess looking at it today that they once made machinery like that there. Thanks for sharing

Fascinating that your drill press and Keith Fenner's Sibley drill are almost twins. Differences in details, but near enough that they could have been assembled in the same place. Must have been almost a standardized design in that era.

Excellent

Thanks again for a well produced look at genuine craftsmanship. I am drawn to youtubers that are actually making their living in production work with great and expedient (not slipshod but efficient) skill and care. I like High Falls Furniture For the same reason. Keep up the good work sir.
