- Dealing with a hijacked youtube channel is sure different than building and restoring horse drawn vehicles! But thanks for dedicated viewers and an efficient youtube staff, this channel was recovered and reestablished again. I am sharing the process of events that occurred, starting March 23rd, 2020 when I lost control to this channel to an unwelcome login from Romania.
New Apparel!
Thank you to everyone who continues to find this channel worthwhile. The store links are below.

Thank you all so much for your fantastic support. It really is quite humbling. Glad to be back!
I'm so glad you are back, Mr. Engels.
Very happy to have you back, Dave. I did report that your channel had been hijacked.
Hey, if you need any help creating any additional backup system or any computer help, let me know. I'm somewhat local and can help with that. Or if you need anything 3D printed, I can also help with that.
Congratulations on getting your channel back.
Your a national treasure mate! Hate to lose you, Regards from Australia.
I just watched you stand in one spot and relate a compelling story for 23 minutes, unedited, with excellent video and audio quality and no help. Do you know how difficult that is? Never mind the IT stuff, you're making the hard part look easy. I'm glad you're back!
Yep. The tech stuff is the easy stuff.
Absolutely astonishing explanation!
I hope he read your comment. I wonder if he knows how rare this is? I couldn't do that if my life depended on it.
Your channel is very priceless for a lot of us and we are truly grateful for it. The filming is also very good.
Next project: horse drawn hearse for scammer bodies.
ill pitch in on that
Perfect 👌🤣😂😅
That particular hearse should be designed with pentagon wheels - bouncing the bodies to hell.
6’ is included in the fee. Any deeper is extra.
WOOOO ... IS THERE A GOFundMe page for the Hearse Carriage ?
"I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw', don't sell yourself short. There have been many people that would call themselves 'tech savvy' that have been caught out by unscrupulous actors. Glad to see your back 👍
Yeah, you've got to remember that these scammers are professionals; they do it all day and they get paid for it. You can be super smart and still fall for this.
"drawer" not "draw". But yes, these types of scams catch lots of people. I noticed a number of channels that all had the same weird "Microsoft News" or similar with the Bill Gates stream recording. I don't get what the end-game was there, as they weren't showing content that was of benefit to them. Maybe it was a long-game to take over channels.
At work, they test us all the time with fake phishing emails, to see if we report them or click them. It's serious business.
But, the fact that he DOES have full backups shows he's way more advanced than many other people. This should be recognized.
Unrelated: I don't get why 15 people would down-vote this video. I know down-votes are a thing everyone deals with, but unless they are bots, that is just weird.
@@Psychlist1972 The game was: Bill Gates, well-known for his generosity, has taken a heart to give away 6000 Bitcoins, double amount of krypto-$ for every krypto-$ you send to the account/address showing up when you start the video. Waiting at the address was most probably a happy scammer raking the kryptos in while smearing the name of Bill Gates. Ha ha. Not funny as you know 1 krypto of this special brand pays USD 6760.86 at this moment. (April 4, 2020) Maximum was 20 krypto=130.000 USD to receive (wait long time for) 260.000 USD.
@@NICEFINENEWROBOT Thanks. I thought it was a copy of one of our streams. I knew something was wrong so I didn't bother clicking on it to see what the actual content was.
@Andrew, I can attest to that. I spent 20 years at a network helpdesk solving datacom troubles and one of my personal websites still got hacked. No matter how smart you are, there's always some scammer out there who knows something you don't.
It's a sad commentary on today's digital age , when a channel that is honest and truly authentic such as yours gets caught up in this kind of crap. Thank you for keeping history alive and well and passing it on to the interested.Your work is fascinating and the craftsmanship and dedication to the trade shows in every episode. As a tradesman ( painter ) myself for 45 yrs and recently retired, I very much appreciate your efforts to keep your trade alive and to inspire a new generation of wheelwrights. Thanks again.
Sir, your skill as a painter with 45 years experience is rare these days, another dying skill. Thanks for sharing your views as a fellow craftsman to Mr. Engels. I hope he hears from more people like you.
So many people have a "wealth of knowledge" that they do nothing with, and eventually it is lost. God Bless you for sharing your skill and knowledge with the rest of the world!
There's something special about living in a time when the statement "I'm a wheelwright, not an IT guy" can be made.
Dave, as corny as this sounds, You Are My “Mister Roger’s Neighborhood”, you are a great teacher,instructor, mentor and an inspiration! Welcome Back and Thank You Very Much!
I sure couldn't figure out what was going on when I kept getting Bill Gates Live notifications. It stinks this kind of garbage has to happen and that thieves sit around all day trying to find a way to take something others have worked for. I'm so glad you're back. God bless
Mr. Engels, you have 1) CZcams tech knowledge, 2) the talent to create interesting videos, 3) a gift for public speaking, 4) and your amazing expertise as a wheelwright. All these in one person is as rare as hen's teeth!
Mr Engels this is the best news I've heard all week! So glad you have overcome this trial and are back with us all.
spoke for nearly half an hour without Q Cards or a Teleprompter, the conversation flowed well
Maybe there are 100,000 people that recognize a genuine guy going out of his way to educate and entertain people and they all can relate to being scammed.
Dear Mr Engels, I am very sorry to hear all that story. I did not understand why your Chanel was associated with Bill Gates. Now I understand! I am happy to know that all that work you did for years to show us the extraordinary work you do with your so interesting comments is not lost. I take this opportunity to tell you my admiration. Your video on your Hebrew translation was absolutely fascinating. I appreciate every one of your videos and now I am waiting for it on the Fridays. I am a French lady living very far away ( Paris and in the Loire Valley) from Joliet, but if I ever go to the States near Montana, i would certainly stop at Joliet! But although I fly to NY every year, Montana is quite far even from New York! Please share my thanks with you wife who, I understand, does a fabulous job. I hope that the Corona virus has not hit Joliet. Please take care. With my kind regards, R. Manley
You’re right about how we feel about this channel. An attack on you is an attack on every one of us.
Glad to see you back!
Sorry you had to go through this.
YT needs to get a handle on the issue, it's happened to others.
I agree 100% . Very sad that an honest hard working guy like you had to deal with these kind of people .
Wyr
God bless
Praise the Lord Dave, Diane for those with skills in IT. From the UK, please accept grateful thanks from an oldie who is on lockdown. You are a blessing! Mike
Dear Mr. Engel, I am glad that he succeeded with the help of a friend to solve this damned problem. How did you see who endures it wins. Stay safe she and her loved ones a greeting from Sicily. God protect us
It's just pitiful that CZcams couldn't have sorted this out much quicker. They will copyright strike a video for a song on the radio playing in the background
Behind every respected man, there must be an awesome Diane.
Stay healthy, both of you. :-)
You are such a special gift to us all. It’s a priceless archive. you are a priceless master. God richly bless you, as you have blessed all of us.
There’s little that makes me angrier than the kind of people that will take advantage of another persons hard work to line their own pockets. Scourge of the working man. So glad to see you’re back!
I hate this happened to “us”. I say “us” because I look forward to your weekly video in much the same way I, as a child, looked forward to a tv show like Bonanza or some other show. I really enjoy your videos and I hope they continue for a long time - not because I will ever work on or restore any antique horse drawn vehicle but - because I appreciate watching a master at his craft. You make it look easy. This is the sign that shows that you have mastered your craft.
Please continue what you do which is your craft/business and recording it for us on CZcams. I truly appreciate it.
I have been watching your videos for many years. To me you are a true craftsman and a quality person. I am so happy that all worked out well on your channel. I hope that you have many more years of showing your fantastic God given talent.
I had unsubscribed when I started seeing “Microsoft News” in my feed, and went to figure out why that was there, because I hadn’t subscribed to such a channel... then went to your web site to inform you of the hack, but your web site already had the notice that you knew and youtube was working on it. You sir are a Master Craftsman. I have resubscribed, and look forward to more videos.
I wish I was smart enough to know how to do all that! The best I was able to do was leave a comment on the clock video, asking if they knew something was wrong.
I did the same thing. Was like wtf.
Me too love this channel
Dave, I am so happy that you have gotten this all sorted and back into your control. You losing control of your channel was almost like it was happening to me and I was angry. Stay safe you and Diane ❤️
Thanks for sharing, I've had an eventful week, but no where like yours. Glad to know that I'm not the only one treading water. God Bless us all. 💜🌞🌵
I really fell what you had been fhow I to lost a channel not long ago and I felt a bit Hart and have to start all over again is hard work but life go on.
You are a good man and I admire you for that.
Kind regards from London UK 🇬🇧 God bless 🙌 🙏.
When I want to get away from the frequent ugliness of this world, I come here. You are indeed a refuge and a pleasant, highly significant addition to this world. Blessings.
Good to have you back Dave & Diane. Glad to hear you”re mostly sorted.
I'd prefer watching you work to Bill Gates. Welcome back.
So true
@@steve57912 can't you keep your idiototic politics out of anything.
@@steve57912 Gates is just a rich putz. Nothing liberal about him. Ask his employees.
@@steve57912 I suggest you refuse social security, hypocrite, please respond.
Richard Young Just stop everybody!
I was wondering why they thought this would be a "good grab"? YOU are the channel! With out you to repair the wheels and new videos for us to watch it soon would have fallen apart. Glad to see you back. Keep up your wheel work.
I’ve just purchased a 1885 Clarence carriage that needs some work- that’s how I found you. Your channel has become an obsession of mine and your work is phenomenal. Thank you for your professionalism and the time you dedicate to your craft and showing us. Few people are willing to teach the way you are.
Dave, I'm one of those "IT" guys and I'm glad to see you back. I love your work. I'd recommend you use 2 factor authentication (2fa) for your google account and channel. Use your browser in "incognito Mode" or "Private Windows". Get a couple of browsers installed. I use one for Banking, one for general stuff internet, and one for just random browsing. Keeping them separate keeps general surfing from impacting important stuff. Use very good passwords and use different passwords for everything. Any you can write them down. No one has ever had anyone break into their physical address and steal their notepad with passwords on them. I am not preaching, just sharing some of my 30 years of experience. Glad to have you back.
Good words to the wise. I didn't have, but now do have 2fa. I'm right on track with your other recommends also and I never store a password on the computer.
YAY! You're back! I missed you! y'all stay healthy!
So glad to her your mostly back. I am a retired (in many fields) musician, journeyman machinist, CNC machinist, manufacturing jeweler, certified clock builder, and production engineer,,,whew, I'm tired already. Reason I'm telling you all this is the main reason I find your thought process, technical abilities and good sense very positive so keep on doing what it is you do so well and above all, keep on smiling. Thanks again, Terry. Oh by the way, I can document all those professions in 55 years in the work force.
Sure glad you're back. Your channel is in my opinion among the best educational material available. TV is pure garbage so I'm thankful craftsman like yourself post videos like this or I wouldn't have anything to watch. I don't build wagon wheels but I sure do learn something every video. Thanks again for doing what you do!
So happy you’ve got control back. It wasn’t good getting notices of that garbage instead of the relaxed craftsmanship we’ve come to love and expect.
My names Rick I’m from Montana I work out at Hanford these days I’ve been a Millwright for 40 years and I want to thank you for your time and effort you’ve put into rescuing this vanishing Wheelwright trade. I would love to be able to show people how to hand cut auger flights and build hexagon augurs and how to lace rawhide drive belts but I just don’t have the opportunity to do that kind of work for anybody anymore. Making hardwood bearings and wooden bull wheels for industrial plants just doesn’t exist. So thank you again for all your effort I know how much time it takes to edit a video. God bless and keep up the good fight PS isn’t it interesting how all the tradesmen have turned into essential workers and all the suits are sitting on their butts at home🤣😂😅
I used to do tech work for a living. Now that I can just be myself, I am trying to learn all I can about these so called "lost" trades of smithing, woodworking, coopering, ect. I see real honest value in it. Real value that some unsavory sort cannot sully and destroy. Wish I was near you guys. This channel is one of my mentors now. Woodturner in Sequim, Wa.
100% truth! As an S.T.D. (Stoopid Truck Driver, That's what the suits call us) we've became essential, & still headed off to work everyday. The suits now sit home, but are still collecting a FAT paycheck for it.
What kept bullwheels from flying apart? i have wondered about this for ages!
Glad to hear you are back on,I very much enjoy your videos and look forward to them every week.👍👍
First thing I watch every Friday when I get home from work. Good to have you back.
I'm so sorry that you had to suffer this intrusion and so happy that you survived. Friday evening is the highlight of the week for me to see your craftsmanship and historic practices. Thank you for carrying on.
Awesome to have you back, we missed you and became worried. I was wondering - hoped over hope that you did not get "poisoned" by biological bad actors . So sorry for all the extra work to get back. And you are!
You are amazing. Thank you for letting us watch you restore things.
welcome back Mr, Engel, we sure missed you. You are the real soul of America. :)
I unsubbed from Microsoft news then wondered where you had gone. Never will I watch Micro....news. Glad you are back up and running and I'm re-subbed to you!
Really delighted to see you back, Dave! I was worried that I'd lost one of my favorite channels.
MR. Engels, I love wat watching your channel. you are the best blacksmithing guy i know.plus the best carpenter, metal worker,designer-fabricator, and machinist. MR. Engels you are definitely born from the stock of our ancestors thank the good lord we have you TODAY!!! keep up the good work sir. I'm so sorry you were hacked.
So glad to see that you have things up and running again. I, too, unsubscribed when I saw that you had been hacked, but when I saw that you had posted another video, I attacked the subscribe button. Very glad to know that your videos were still there and available. Keep up what you are doing. It is a true blessing to experience your masterful work.
Welcome back my friend. This world is so corrupted that we dont know what route to take. I'm happy you are back showing us your knowledge. Raul.
Faithful viewer Happy again........ Thanks Dave,,
Your channel IS my Saturday morning coffee.... glad to have you back.
Hi Dave... I think you now realise how much this channel means to us - subscribers - it' isn't just the work you do, we follow you as a character and as a person. Thank you.
Welcome back. I really like what you do here. I'm a history buff, and I've learned a lot from you.
Dave passes the "Guy I'd like to have a beer with" test!!! RESUBSCRIBED!
Thank you for the update.
Watching a craftsman as you is inspiring to a beginning craftsman like me.
Please do not change the way you do things.
Mr. & Mrs. Engel, YOU folks are national treasures. What a gift to some of us. I am truly sorry you all had to go thru this ordeal. I was scammed by a "firm" out of Inda several years ago on my computer. Not to your extitent because I do not have a video channel. Thank you all for being AMERICANA.
Welcome back, Dave! My Friday evening wind downs haven’t been the same... Lessons learned. Be careful going forward.
You mentioned that you had “Lost Some Subscriber”.
I personally “Temporarily Unsubscribed” because I knew something was wrong and did not want to click on a “Potentially Corrupt Link”.
Once you E-mailed me directly that “Things Were FIXED” I IMMEDIATELY Hit the subscribe button again.
I feel that most if not all of your “Loyal Subscribers” that temporally left will again hit the “Subscribe Button” once they realize things are fixed.
EXTREMELY HAPPY YOU ARE BACK.
+1
I did the same thing. Re-subscribed as soon as I saw you had control again. I was checking every day. Glad you're back.
Exactly what I did. Re-subbed now. Good to see you back Dave.
Now what I received makes sense. But I have enjoyed your videos because I have had an interest in 20 Mule Team Borax Wagons. When you started producing other videos on the Cartwright and Wheelwright trade I wait every week for your next video. I have absolutely no Intention of unsubscribing from your Ingles Coach Works CZcams Channel.
I actually didn’t unsubscribe but had to subscribe again.
Thank you for showing us the way wagons and wheels were done by our ancestors blessings
I'm one of those who unsubscribed, then re-subscribed when I saw you were back up. Sorry you had to go through this just so some bad actor can have fun. Welcome back! This is one of the best channels on youtube. Thanks for what you do!
"....for the purpose of not supporting this phony baloney hack job."
Resubscribed, with prejudice.
I'm dumbfounded. Tip my hat to you for surviving this mess. Glad to have you back. Your channel is a true national treasure.
Hi Dave, My name is Dan and I live in Frenchtown, Mt.( 25 mi. west of Missoula) and I have been evolved with woodworking as my career has dictated for years, following your Wheelwright and Wainwright skills has been a real treat over the years, I've wanted to make Wheel Driven yard ornaments for quite some time, now that I am retired, I have more time to invest in such an endeavor. You have allowed all of your viewers to take an in depth look at your pacific kind of work and I myself have a better understanding on just how to make wooden wheels and some of the math evolved. thank you for all you have done for your Trade.
Mr Engels
These phoney bologna people make my blood boil. Folks like yourself, having a true gift, willing to share your talents with the rest of us here. As you know a lot of talent has gone to the grave with folks that wouldn't tell and show folks the real craftsman ways. My hats off to you for sharing.
Thank you sir.
Hal
So glad you got it back in the end. I filed reports about it a couple of times but never got a reply from CZcams.
Womberto Biaggi Ditto. But we can only hope they helped.
@@robertbamford8266 Yeah you never know, was worth trying anyway.
So sorry you had to go through this. God bless to you and family
Never Since my Uncle Jes Lawrence has anyone gained my respect. Until now. You sir are all right in my books.. I'll be here as long as you are. Thank you..
Thanks for not giving up!
Absolutely love your channel. This world needs more guys like you...talented & very likable.
Dave, this is marvelous. We praise the Lord for restoring your channel.
I thanked EFormance Engineering .
@@christophermaurer1271 Well good for you. The Lord is still praised from this part of the country for even EFormance Engineering is gifted by the Hand of the Living God.
I'm one of the people that bailed when "Microsoft" took over. Now I know the truth, I'm back. Thank you for being tough!
Me too. Very happy to see this video pop up. Resubscribed immediately.
Dear Dave and Diane,
I'm glad to see you returned. You're video's aren't just educational and informational, it's really relaxing. And relaxing is something we really need in the world at this moment.
Stay healthy and stay safe.
So glad your back and things are settling down in the IT world. From myself, I wasn’t right a week ago last Friday with no new video and seeing what we all saw. Thanks for your efforts to get us all back to Engels Coach Shop and what we truly enjoy. All the best.
WOW! GLAD YOU GOT HELP TO GET THROUGH ALL THAT! WELCOME BACK, MISSED SEEING YOU WORK, LEARNED A LOT!
Diane; Welcome back... Dave sounds like an IT guy to me... he masters everything he touches... or touches him!
Glad you're back, sorry you got dragged through this mucky mess........ Baskets.....
Verbose nonsense it was not! Well done.
Whew! I thought I lost ya. Glad you're back up and running. I don't comment but I learn a lot. Thanks
I just re-subscribed after you were highjacked. Hopefully those wandering find you again and come home!
Glad it's all worked out. I missed ya. I figured it out quickly enough, and was hoping you could get it back. stay safe, and thanks for working it out.
Dave, you're back! I'm just an old carpenter who appreciates you're art. Arts that is. Plural. You aren't a Jack of all trades but a Master. But your channel is about more than a blacksmith, welder, machinist, mechanical engineer, metallurgist, carpenter, wood turner, joiner, seamstress, painter, historian type of guy who builds and repairs wagons. Once a week, in the middle of all the madness in the world you provide us with a safe place to go. Your calm demeaner and comforting voice show us that everything can be worked out and made right through planning, persistence and the will to simply work. Hooray for your return! And thank you for setting us such a good example. And for providing us a safe place in this big scary world. I missed you. Welcome back. To you and yours, stay safe. Kyle
I'm so glad you got it fixed/figured out!!!! ("a week without Engels,,, I s like a week without oxygen!!")
Welcome back, stay safe.
Good to see you back! Stay well.
So grateful to have you back. I enjoy watching your videos repetitively. Thank you for sharing your little shop with everyone.
Thank you for my order too. Just got it today.
Glad you have got it sorted out. It is so frustrating when some jerk tries to feed off your hard work and you have to spend valuable time sorting it out. The Borax wagon build was great.
AWESOME!!!! Thank God you're back!!! Stay safe and warm 😁
Welcome back! Glad you got it all sorted out.
I have always appreciated good craftsmanship. Thank you for all you do. I wish you the very best. God Bless
Glad to have you back Dave and Dianne!
Thank goodness you're back!!!!! I was quite worried!
Man I’m glad you’re getting everything squared away and back working correctly. Glad you are back in full strength. The videos you put out really are priceless. Thank you for sharing.
I’m glad you are back! As a very strange 14 year old girl, I very much appreciate your videos! Thank you!
I'm not much a adding comments but I wanted to today. I've been watching you channel for about 8 or 9 months now and I enjoy it very much. My Grandfather was a Blacksmith, Farrier, and a Wheelwright, he also repaired wagons, I think in his younger years he built wagons. When I was a small boy I stayed at his Blacksmith shop all the time and would help when they were working on wagon. I loved being with him at the shop, but as I got older and I started thinking about cars and girls and I stopped going to the shop as much. I've always said that 90% of what I know today I learned at the Blacksmith shop. He passed away in 1967 when I was 17 and I went into Navy the next year and then started a family. Watching you work takes me back to to those days with my grandfather and the Blacksmith shop. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
Dave: Sorry you lost so many hours of time and I can not imagine the stress level. But THANKS for spending all that time getting back to normal!! You join me every saturday morning for breakfast! You talk & I eat! I only wish that you could have fixed all of this with some red hot heat from the coal forge and a 3 pound hammer on the anvil!! I have been a very busy business owner with a HVAC Refrigeration company for the last 18 years. But buy watching you work in your shop it has encouraged me to get out into my shop and start working also. This has lower my stress level. So not only do I learn something from you every time I watch a video. You are helping me deal with stress in my own life because I am now getting to work in my own shop after all these years! THANKS Again for not giving up!! Some thief may have tired to high jack you. But you and some help from Perry whipped him! THANKS Dan Hamilton Bennet Nebraska
I am glad you got this figured out, I really enjoy this channel.
Have been watching your channel with awe and admiration. Delighted you eventually got your site and content retrieved. I am privileged to be a subscriber and wish you and yours many years of health and happiness in your business.
I am pretty sure there are no dull knives in your drawers. Glad you got it fixed. I need your calming influence in my world. You are one of my escapes.✌🤟🖖🇺🇸
Love the content on your channel....I enjoy it always. So glad you're back.
I’m sorry for all the trouble y’all have been through. It’s very much a part of my routine every Friday to see your new video and I look so forward to it. Thanks for y’all hard work and effort you put in this channel.
