- Building new bob sleds and restoring horse drawn vehicles adds variety to the present day carriage shop. This is a synoptic video of the whole process building this sled, but can be seen in its entirety in the "Building a Bob Sled" playlist on this channel.
Here's a few links that show some of the tools I use and also helps support the channel;

All I need to see now is the sled being pulled by 2 black percherons an a fancy lantern made by your brother in law have a day love from TEXAS
I watched the original series so I guess it's just "Thanks for the memory"!
Thank you for making this video and letting it see me.
Please stay safe and healthy and God will protect you
This San Diego boy remembers those Great Falls Winters. Brutal! I slept in my parka on base. 😂
HI, A JOB VERY GOOD, THANKS MY FRIEND...FROM SPAIN...👋😎👍
I love that you have so much vintage machinery. Testament to how well it was built but also to the care you must have for your tools. Bravo Sir.
I always get a kick out of it when you say "hope you enjoy" because you know we all will :). the worst part of the week is that nasty 6 days between videos, but when Friday rolls around it makes it all worth it. Even when you took a little break, it was still my routine. I just rewatched videos I forgot about. It's kinda like that treat that you give yourself on payday, that makes you want to start a new week just so you can get another treat.
These videos are just like LEFTOVERS!...... Sometimes even BETTER the 2nd time around!!! :-) :-) Thanks Mr. Dave!!!
I watch all your videos from Scotland. You are a master craftsman and your work ethic and process is inspirational. Your videos should be a mandatory part of any trade course to be watched by all apprentices.
Work fascinates me, I could watch it for hours. WC Fields
That is amazing what you can do. I so wish you lived closer to me so that you could make some sleds and rebuild some sleds of mine
I enjoy watching your craftmanship fabricating the parts and pieces to build and repair these wagons, thank you so much for your time and effort to do the videos and share with us.
Think I watched you do this about a year ago. Thoroughly enjoyed it again. Gonna watch it again each year.
I appreciate you and what you do with all you know. You are one of a dying breed.
You’re amazing! We used to go riding on my grandfather’s bobsled when I was a boy. He would put bells on the horses and what a wonderful time we would have! Then come home to hot chocolate made with fresh milk from our cows! Those are some great memories for me.
Monozukuri - Japan has many famous artists. Some of which are officially recognized as Living National Treasures. There is a second group of categories in the crafts. There, Japan recognizes skilled artists and artisans in pottery, textiles, dying, lacquerware, metalworking, swordmaking, dollmaking, woodworking, and papermaking. Japan values such craftsmen on a similar level to traditional artists. I think you would fit very well in this group, Dave.
Wow this is great trip down memory lane. I remember watching this over the weeks and enjoying all the discussion. I totally recommend that play list. Thanks Dave
I'm still impressed with the level of precision you get bending metal free hand.
Beautiful work Mr. Engels
I can just hear Dave making an order for more lumber:....
"I would like to order10,000 BF each of ash, hickory and oak. All 3" thick and absolutely no knots or imperfections."
Beautiful lumber you have there!
My name is Bill, our phones are in my wife's name. Thus it says I'm Marla.
I so enjoy watching you. The condensed version of the bob sled is cool, but I also really enjoyed the long version.
Your skill and craftsmanship is second to none! I just love watching you work.
I just found your channel a few months ago, and I'm doing my best to watch all of your videos.
Thank you so much for making the videos, please keep making them.
Thanks Dave all over again on another work day....!
How in the world there are 11 thumbs down is beyond me. Can you say master of his craft?
I was taking a survey, and they asked my favorite CZcams Channel. Wrote this down, and remembered it was Friday. Why am I taking a survey? There's a new video waiting! OK, now back to their survey. :-)
I'm addicted to this bloke.
A real man of many talents.
Proof the old blokes new better. This man is keeping it alive for all to see and enjoy.
A must see for all apprentices to understand how a real tradesmen works.
You got to love the old ways of doing things. A joy to watch and learn.
I still keep trying to figure out what you CAN’T do…not there yet. Thanks for sharing.
👍👍❤️
I appreciate that you take the time to make these films so I watch all the sponsors ads and press all the links to give something back. Thank you.
I like to watch this man at work. An absolute master! Thumbs up!!!
Дедуня красава👍👍👍🇦🇩
Вот это мастерская! Как он все помнит?!
the master at work beautiful Bob Sled
GREAT VIDEO, SAY HI TO EVERYONE, AND MERRY CHRISTMAS, SEE YOU NEXT FRIDAY...
Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming
These get better and better.
My grandad was a black smith in the upper peninsula of Michigan,you bring a lump in my heart every time you put up a video,my brother watches too. Thank you sir!!!!!
What part of da U.P.? I used to live in Marquette. Gorgeous area the U.P. especially fall and winter. And as far as snow a person hasn't delt with snow until they've dealt with lake effect snow!!
Iron Mountain area
Thank you for ALL this work Craftmanship and Videos!!!
I watch you from Brazil , very good to watch your job man !
There are not many people alive who either know how or are capable of making this.
Mr. Engels, I don’t think there is anything you can’t build. True Work of art. Thank you for your inspiration. Joe from Wisconsin.
Thank for this video your bob sleigh is so beautiful
I am amazed by the number of skills you need to be a carriage builder: blacksmith, welder, iron worker, carpenter, wood turner, leather craftsman, upholsterer, and tailor. Way to go, sir.
The legacy of Dave Engels. A shop that doesn't belong in a museum because it is one & a video library of a lost & dying art. You don't realize until it is gone what this man knows just from over 40 years of experience.
I do not see much application for wainwrighting or wheelwrighting in the sort of things I might build, but the thought process and methods are an excellent guide to any project anyone might undertake.
These videos are a treasure. Thanks for allllllllllllllll the time and effort you put into them. You are a true craftsman.
I just found your channel and I am impressed with your ability to explain the gist of the process with a minimum of verbiage. What I would have given for a shop teacher like you.
In the early 1980's I saw a documentary called "Ben's Mill" on a channel that later became "The Discovery Channel". One of the two projects shown was similar to your sled.
I am thankful for your videos and look forward to learning from a master craftsman. New Subscriber!
Thank you!
Those stop motion animation of the dump truck you did was neat ought to do a shop vac saw dust clean up.
Your shop and its tools is a thing of beauty.
Cecil B. Engles! Great piece of editing.
I stayed awake last night attempting to determine whether I would rather have your many woodworking and metal skills, your horse drawn vehicle knowledge, or your videographer abilities….I’m tired. Another great show. Thanks for sharing! -Phil
wow...a work of art.
Superb director's cut ! Thanks
Dave, you're a national treasure. I am reminded again how beautifully and wonderfully this was made. The video is a real pleasure to watch and hear, too.
You said it! Wood, steel, leather....master of the arts.
Dave...from those lovely snowy photos of the local countryside at the intro ...looks like that bob sled will be in much demand.
Thanks Dave 73 AB7RR Bob God Bless America
I recommend everyone watch the entirety of building a Bob Sled . It is well worth your time to do so. Thanks for your efforts Dave. Have you ever heard of a Stone Boat? Non steering version of this sorta.
need to go watch this video:
czcams.com/video/v6rBGjU8d4I/video.html&ab_channel=WorkingHorsesWithJim
for a look at a stone boat in action and other sleigh configurations - enjoy
Thank you so much for making these videos for us to enjoy
Somthing good happening in America. Nice fire.
Thank You Sir, it was great to watch again.
you have very good wood seems relley nice wood.. i hope this kind of craftmanships never dies!
WOW ! Very impressive craftmanship !
I drove through Bishop recently and stopped at the museum to gander at the 20 mule team wagons you built after watching your latest video on that project. I stood there looking at the various parts replaying the video in my mind on how you fabricated them. So glad I stopped it was great to actually see the real deal.
The chronology you seemingly breeze through these truly remarkable pieces of art, with an air of non chalance, captivates, transfixed we watch as you effortlessly create, a wondrous union of raw materials of heat and sweat and steam. Heavy lumber and flawless joinery humility and sharing not only the asthetic result but a journey into the soul of a true crafstman. Thank you sir we are all blessed.
Wow! What craftsmanship.
Excellent video 👍
Здравствуйте! Наслаждаюсь Вашей работой! Спасибо!
translate to English...Hello! I enjoy your work! thanks
@@KT111 translation to English....He is a kind person. I was in his workshop.
I watched the Bob sled video and still found this enjoyable!
I've only been watching your videos for a few months, and thoroughly enjoy them.
Although horse and cart was almost a think of the past in my childhood, there were the odd one still surviving. It's wonderful to see the many skills the carriage builder had to know, and that there are younger generations learning them to continue some of those skills into the future, and the use of hand tools.
Regards Dennis.
Awesome mr. Dave!
Well done.👍🇨🇦✌️✌️
I really appreciate how you are doing this shorter version, however I thoroughly enjoyed watching the long version because of the more in-depth information and detailed descriptions you shared with us. Thanks so much for sharing your trade with us Dave, these will be shared by several generations to come. Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
that is beautiful craftsmanship
Stay healthy and we'll see you soon.
*- I love it. When I was a child I thought it was Bob's Sled that was talked about. {groan}*
*- I did not know it took so much work to make my sled, Dave. ;)*
*- Nice video for the Christmas Season.*
Fantastic again, watched MOST of your video's, Stay safe BOTH of you Mike 😎
Thank you for Posting. It's Beautiful Work.
Happy Holidays!😎🤙🕉
That was a joy to watch, thank you!
What a nice refresher for the originals enjoyed it all over again well done.
It is so satisfying watching you work. A true master of multiple crafts. Awesome video. One of my favorite channels at this point.
This crazy music kept me looking at the window as I was sure some kid was calling out for their father.
Outstanding! Thanks Dave.
Oh wow. So love the perfectionist
I would love to see your work at work. Certainly these wagons, sleighs and carriages are not on static display. Greetings from the high plains of Texas.
Years ago I watched an old timer build a horse drawn timber sled from the remains of a very old sled. I think that video planted the interest in me to watch these videos.
Another great video Dave, I love this Synoptic approach of prior builds. I get to enjoy it all over again in minute form. great idea. I love the steel /iron work on the sled and wagons. etc. love seeing how they support the wood in many ways. a great technical way to get it done and save steel and iron with the supplement of wood. Thanks for doing the builds and better yet for sharing. ECF
Thanks. Very interesting. I don't know about horse drawn vehicles, but other old-time craft trades. This looks like many hours of hard and expert work, as well as one heavy-duty result. Wish I could take a ride in it. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, they are a wonderful gift to posterity, which might otherwise forget the way things used to be done.
Thanks. Hey, a bit early but Merry Christmas to you and your family!
I can remember helping my dad build a kinda sorta bob sleigh, chuckles just say it was quite a Contraption but it worked for the seven or eight years he fed cows with it, hauled countless people on it, many wet cold baby calves to the barn after birth or caught out in drenching wet snow or cold rains. his suckie dog Toby at his side or running along trying to bite the runners. have to say was not near as maticulous as the one in this video.
Do a Christmas video of a sleigh hooked up to a team with bells and lights full of people!
Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 10 Dec 21.
Fantastic man!
Lovely skills. Awesome!
Thanks Dave; well worth it.
By the way, I really like your opening music. It sounds very... uhh, Montana.
Wow I really hope that I can organise myself enough to get into these playlists that you’ve created I’ve never been so impressed that the possible importation of knowledge to future generations of artisans has been created by such an unassuming man such as you the world is a better place because of you thanx
It's always a pleasure to watch a genuine craftsman flex his skills.
The condensed versions are OK but part of the enjoyment of watching the long videos is seeing your skill as a wood worker, a metal worker, a welder, and the craftmanship you show in the assembly and finishing of each project. My favorite is the borax wagon series..
Gawd, I hope you live forever buddy, cuz this level of craftsmanship will be lost without you. Love your work bud.
Ich wünsche euch ein Ruhiges
Wochenend sowie einen schönen 3 Adventssonntag und eine besinnliche Vorweihnachtszeit
in Gesundheit und Frieden
Bleibt Gesund! 🕯🕯🕯🎄🎄🎄👍👍👍
I wish you a quiet
Weekend as well as a nice 3rd Sunday in Advent and a contemplative pre-Christmas period
in health and peace
Stay healthy! 🕯🕯🕯🎄🎄🎄👍👍👍
I like all videos sir..i am from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Once again thanks for the video, What
Another fantastic video!
Awesome work, Sir!
You do some pretty good work,I have never seen one built, All the ones I grew up with were already in use and complete hay sloops and log sleds. we used horse and sleigh/cutter to get around in the winter,when i was an infant up to the age of ten or so. There was also a grain box on one that we used. I don't recall hauling grain but I am sure the my dad did so.
