Starting New Wheels for an English Brougham Carriage | Engels Coach Shop
Building and restoring horse drawn vehicles of the American west sometimes involves carriages originally designed in England. The Brougham is an English gentleman's carriage designed by Lord Henry Peter Brougham around 1838. Although an English design, many Broughams were built in America and a number of them found their way to the American west, usually acquired by the more wealthy and affluent. They were driven by a hired driver and used for private purposes instead of in public service.

It always makes me chuckle to think that just maybe, in a couple of hundred years a craftsman will take that band off, look at it sagely and say... 'hmm, MIG welded...'

Indeed, C Smith. In fact, lots of guys 50-100 years from now will be happily realizing what they're repairing/replacing is an Engels-- and they'll be happy it is because the measurements and etc will be precise and easy to replicate.

@@crustycurmudgeon2182 I think any Engels hub would last far more than just fifty years. I also think Dave should mark them with a monogram of some sort and the date so people in the future would know exactly what they're looking at.
Wetting out both faces of a glue joint gives a better bond! So many details handled with perfection in your shop!
sir, I really enjoy your work I ; am 84 years old I was a treads men you are truly a master craftsman.
من مصر نحييك يا رجل انت محترف وصانع جيد للتراث الشعبي والمطلوب لكل المستويات نحييك،🇪🇬👍💐
I am glad to know that the hubs I made twenty two years ago of Canada hard maple are in fact acceptable material. I made four wheels for a child’s wagon that I had started but did not finish until much later. I had wanted to build a wagon for my children but then found out that my wife and I couldn’t have any. In 2008 God had other plans and our son was born. In 2010 I finally finished it up. It now has many miles on it but is still as sturdy as new. They are traditional dished wheels mortised and tenons.

That is some amazing work. Only a Master Craftsman could perform.
I really enjoy watching your channel. I am watching a master at his craft.
The old saw, "Jack of all trades master of none", sure doesn't apply here. Now it's "Master of all". Of course after watching four years of your videos this is not a new concept. It sure was nice watching that piece of flat bar steel become a ring. And since wood turning is my thing I can say you certainly did the maple hubs proud. Thanks for sharing Dave. And please stay healthy.

Brougham is a small village with both a Castle and a Hall 23 miles north of me. The Brougham carriage was named after the Lord Brigham. Its now about 25 miles south of the English / Scottish border but a sign outside Brigham Hall said historically that was the border.

McMaster & Carr is a good source of metal for many needs. It is not cheap but neither is your time spent making the bands plus the cost can be passed on to the customer. But there is always the self-satisfaction of building your own which has not price.
Another very enjoyable video, your presentation is not as up front as most from the USA, and suits me thank you. As an Englishman I would pronounce Brougham "brorm".
Gotta be dedicated to a trade to do handcrafted products. In some ways modern is good but seeing these craftsmanship techniques makes one wonder.🤔👍👍👍🇨🇦
I am amazed by your mastery. As your videos go by, I can see all your material in the background, and I know that each object is precious to you in your work. An incredible library of knowledge, and you, the conductor with your hands. Each tool, each object in your hands, the wheel. Be well and thank you a thousand times. Pierre de Vierzon France. Je suis éberlué par votre maitrise. Au fur et à mesure de vos vidéos, je distingue en arrière plan, tout votre matériel, et je sais que chaque objet est précieux pour vous dans votre travail. Une bibliothèque de savoir incroyable, et vous, le chef d’orchestre avec vos mains. Chaque outil, chaque objet entre vos mains, la roue. Portez vous bien et merci mille fois.

Please don't ever worry about having too long or too many videos! Plenty of us will watch them and be enthralled the whole time. Stay healthy.

It is just a pleasure to watch you work. Besides dayjobs in offices I ve done simply carpentry freelance work, I was a theatre major in college . Most fun freelance job I've had was working for a week,( I took a vacation just to have this week) at the Public Theatre in NYC. Simple theatrical carpentry and Electrics for setting up lighting. It's such a pleasure seeing your craft.

The skill and craftsmanship is absolutely amazing! As a pipefitter, welder, fabricator for 41 years, I don't get to make that statement very often when I get to witness actual talent, that can't be taught, and for people like you it is as naturally as brushing your teeth!

Thanks for the share. see ya next week.
Great job sir I have watched naives (hubs)been made here in the uk 🇬🇧 so it was great joy to watch you sir can’t wait to see part 2 and how you put the bands on take care see you soon 👍
I'm amazed by your tool collection, so many specialized things I've never imagined let alone seen. Probably common long ago when wheelwrighting was a going trade in any town. But that tiny glue squeegy got a "wow" from me. Been gluing up boards for projects about 50 years and never thought of that.

Arguably one of the best shows on you tube. The craftsmanship is outstanding. Woodworking and the blacksmith combined make these shows so interesting. A lost art in my part of the world. I watch as many of these videos as possible and I am in awe of your abilities. I have often said what a hobby to get into, however one would never be able to get the tools necessary to do this work let alone having the ability to do it. That being said I will just have to keep on watching. Of all the shows on KZread you would be the person I would like to meet. Thank you for sharing you craft.
I like the way you do your videos!
I could watch this all day, but it would be more fun to do it all day. Never a dull moment.
Thanks Dave, nice to see you back!
Excellent, as always.
watching from the Philippines...nice work
So good to see Mom & Dave back after what both of You have gone through with the channel. I'm so sorry there are people in this world that believe hijacking is the same as working. My wife and I recently had a credit card episode of similar nature. My wife noted a false charge for a soda (test charge) at a hotel in Memphis (we live in Southern California). We reported it not only to the credit card company, but to the local police, who went to the hotel and arrested the bum, after he tried to charge $1,200 for hotel fees. Watching Dave work for a living, especially the quality and skill he applies, reminds us all that there are still people in America worth leaning from and emulating.

Incredible artistry and talent possessed by one person is so frustrating yet a joy to behold. From the skill of replicating the details on the lathe to the forge work and then the camera work (maybe some assistance here???). This whole channel just exudes quality and is my regular Saturday morning viewing (owing to the time difference here across the pond). So thank you (both) for your superb output and please keep it up for those of us who can only dream of possessing such skills. As they say in my neck of the woods "hywl fawr" and stay safe.

thank you for another great video. I think your talents working with metal and wood and everything else speaks for itself; your in a league with few members. The part of your video that I'd like to point out is thhe editing; it's simply outstanding. Your choice of when to go 4x speed and when to completely skip a portion is perfectly balanced and thought out in my opinion. For example, if you are making 4 items, you show in good detail the first one, less detail the second, and may possible skip the entire 3d and 4th. It's never boring and you keep your audience's attention....well done, well done!

‘Life isn’t always easy’’. You got that right
Hub pipe--been there & done that. I have a stack of off cuts and pieces laying on the floor in the barn, but it is rare to find a piece that does not need another piece welded on, or something like that. Bolts, nuts, and washers. A couple of years ago I took nearly 100 pounds in several buckets to the recycle place, I could never find what I needed and some of them were 40 years old. Yes, it would be wonderful to have a wall of drawers for all these but there is only so much room in that old barn. Mesmerizing videos you make.
