This wagon adventure you have taken us viewers on has been fantastic. That’s the exact way my father taught me to pack bearings many years ago. Thanks again for allowing us into your shop each week!!!

That’s exactly how I was taught to pack bearings. Back when they had auto shop in school!

I'll be interested in finding out what the ages are of your viewers, next February, I will be a 70yr young male, so,how about letting Dave know what his audience ages are??????

Michelangelo made full-scale pencil drawings of the figures in the Sistine Sistine Chapel frescoes, pricked holes along their outlines, and used charcoal powder to mark the wet plaster. After he finished he burned them so that people would think he had done the paintings freehand. The Italian word cartone means large sheet of paper, and is what he used. In English this came to be pronounced cartoon.

Made me think of "Winchester 73" when Charles Drake abandons Shelley Winters because he forgot to grease the axle.

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but you weekly prove that not to be the case as you always seem to teach this old dawg a new trick or two. Thanks again Dave for another great video sharing your knowledge, experience and methods.

Thank you again Dave. The world will loose an entire museum of American history when you are gone.

One interesting sidebar was using a paper drawing and perforating it to leave behind a pattern to follow was also how Michelangelo did the Frescos on the Sistine Chapel Vaults. Each section was done like puzzle pieces since the plaster had to be fresh not completely cured so the paint could absorb into it and they used ground ash to leave the outlines behind in a technique called Pouncing in a cloth like Dave did. Indeed most Frescos were drawn in full scale first so it could be used as a pattern and were thrown out after they were used and still painting them today is still done in a patch work approach since the plaster mustn't be cured/dry completely so color penetrates it much like a tattoo does on skin.

The paint finish on the seats, and everywhere, is so shiny and mirrored that I sometimes catch myself thinking it is metal. And then you put a staple into it and I'm back to reality.

My grandfather came over from Germany around 1900 as a blacksmith. He eventually started building wagons which led to building custom truck bodys onto bare truck chassis'from Detroit. He was fairly successful and retired in 1940 before I was born. It is nice for me to see some of the tools and techniques he used. Thank you.

Mr Engel, you are the epitome of practical knowledge, ethic and patience.

It is good to see someone packing bearings the PROPER way. Thanks Mr. Dave.

Fantastic to think that all these carriage building skills are being recorded for our future generations. It is such an important legacy

This is why I watch this channel every week. I never thought of using that powder trick.

I found my self holding my breath while you were striping the box & seats. Lovely.

Every time I watch one of your videos I am blown away by your skill and craftsmanship.

Here l am again....Watching you work away another day about the same way.....lt's been fun....Until another day....Thanks young man...!

I’m pleased to see I’m not the only one who uses his handkerchief for every thing, much to my wife’s dismay.

I clicked like, even before watching, because I have come to know, you always have great content.

Watching these video's is a bit like watching "how it's made" video's. The difference being that in those video's there are a lot of different specielists that do their exact part of the thing they are making, and here, it is the same specialist doing ALL tasks.
