Very nice wagon. Thank you for the video and the explainer.

I have watched this video several times, and I am struck by the amount of complicated blacksmith work! I imagine those longitudinal side springs would be quite a work of art to make. I noticed the way the shackles are setup, there would be a constant pulling together of the rear and front, as the springs flex up and down. That looks to me like a possible stress problem on the wooden components of the frame? I also noticed the brake has the ratchet on the inside rather than the traditional outside. Many, many departures from the eastern coach builder's traditions. I live in the Sonora, CA area just south of Angel's Camp. I am not sure but I think as a boy, I remember seeing a coach very similar to that on display at the museum there. In fact that is what caught my attention to watch this video. We never really stopped to look at it so I cannot be certain but it certainly looks familiar.

Amazing.

When California was really the greatest state

wow that is great question when you have that there do you and complete drawing of the Wagons like the Stagecoach Wagon

I'd like to know what types of wood did the builders use?

Looks like a replica

That was vague. Sounded like a load of BS.
