Hot Setting 12 - 3" Wagon Tires - ALONE - on the Spanish Cannon Wheels #9
Vložit
- čas přidán 22. 11. 2018
- As a wheelwright I often hot set 3" wagon tires by myself. This process takes about 20 minutes per wheel. I have 12 tires to set and have designed my shop to do this effectively all alone. I use propane torches for a heat source which allows me to do this inside the shop without any influence from weather or time of year. In Montana that is a definite consideration, especially in the winter.

Many of you are interested in the tire bolts and rivets I use in my videos. Since I use a large number of these, I do keep them in stock. An email to dave@engelscoachshop.com will get you a list of available sizes and pricing.

You always say at the close of each film, "thanks for watching". Well, thank you for sharing this with your audience. Once again a superb piece of workmanship.
You Sir, are a 'National Treasure' of knowledge and may not fully realize that these videos you are making, will be viewed and treasured by future generations of crafts people on how to do it. Cheers.
You amaze me with each and every video you produce. You have the knowledge and the expertise lost in the advent of the industrialized revolution. Yet you yourself have revolutionized your crafts not only as a wheelwright but as an true Blacksmith. God,s speed to you and your offspring that follow you in your craft. God Bless you all !
I watch a little news on TV but this is where the entertainment exists for me
Gotta say, that is some beautiful woodwork. It's not just functional, it's absolutely a work of art.
Watching your craftsmanship is therapy for my soul. I love your editing and presentation as well, which also has its own level of craftsmanship to it. I would love to see a clock in the picture so we get to know when you start and finish. I know there were a couple of well earned apple breaks in there as well.
Thanks for the quality television option!
Such satisfaction in watching fellow craftsmen. Call me crazy, but there's something magical about wooden spoke wheels!
for me, there's nothing more satisfying than the sense of accomplishment I get from working with my hands. It's a pleasure to see your work, and to listen to the music. BIG THANKS for sharing.
Why have I never thought of that trick with the masking tape on the varnish tin... you're a genius.
My Thanksgiving is now complete. 100 times better than any football game on TV!
I have always enjoyed watching people who know what they are doing work, and you do.
It takes the "right" equipment as well as the "right" man to do a job like this. I'm sure you are not only satisfied when the job is done, but you should be very proud of your craftsmanship.
Working smarter, not harder. A good motto for any shop.
You are a true craftsmen, a one man army. You have everything precisely timed and laid out beforehand.
And that trick with the masking tape on the paint tin, that's something you can only learn by watching craftsmen like you.
You can do it all day long and I can watch it all day long.
just fond your channel . like what i see. i am 70 year young . will be watching.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Watched several of your videos. Heartfelt thanks for that. i been a carpenter since june 1973 and can really appreciate this skill. My Dad always said do your best and I have gave all I got all my work life. Imma bet your Dad said the same to you.
The traveler is so simple, but so accurate!
I am a retired craftsman in wood and metal, i tip my hat to your skill. best wishes from England
I was so proud to see you secure that tank with a strap.
First thing I looked for and look for in a factory inspection
Dang. Neet idea with the masking tape on the paint tin. I will be using that in the future.
There is a video on how it’s done.
Dave has a video called 'Carriage priming and messy paint cans' that goes into detail about the tape. czcams.com/video/Zx__d7fIc_U/video.html
Very good idea indeed
I tried it, but using 20 year old masking tape doesn't work.
I prefer to clean the rim with a brush or towel just to not waste materials. Reuseable over disposable
Your videos really show how it pays to take some time to set up a good system for doing repetitive work! Excellent Dave, thanks for showing. Hat off for figuring out how to doing it fast and good by yourself
It must surprise you that what seems like just a day's work to you can be so fascinating for us viewers.
I am 72 years old- I worked hard all my life - even down to the last years of "had to work". I would come home and be so sore and not a chance to ease it out by morning- still had to work through it. I can imagine how you must feel after a day like that. Feel good about what you accomplished. But, Dang! those muscles and joints must be screaming. God bless you, hard working, Sir. My total respect to you, too.
Great video. As you said in the video you have work by yourself for so long you think of ways to do a job that really could use two people or more. I worked in the oil and gas field in northwest pa. for over 30 years. There were days when you needed extra hands but they went available . I learned to use pry bars, come alongs chains , trees , and various other ways to get the job done. It has been interesting to see the different setups and jigs you have come up with to make the job go easier. Thank you for taking the time to share with us!!!
you know its a hard work day when the neck tie comes out!
This fella is one of my inspirations to get out in the shed and get things done. Great stuff
I worked alone a lot. I always preferred it. Got help when I needed it only. Sometimes its best to work alone. Consistent quality is the number one reason for me.
Talk about a work ethic, You put the modern day drones to shame with your work, you are an iron man! Love to see the quality you put into everything you do, a great example for us fledgling sawdust mechanics.
The different perspective shots really made this enjoyable to watch.
I figured how to do things by myself decades ago.That way I always know who is going to show up to help me. LOL Thanks for another great video!!!!
You're a real universal genius, respect. You are proficient in all craft in wagon construction, I am impressed. What I find most impressive is your self-designed tools. Greetings from Germany.
If I don't learn anything else this year, that trick with the tape on the paint is outstanding. Thank you
I dont care what anyone says your a GODLY man deserving heaven.
Hello, beautiful presentation with beautiful shots and good work, the customer will be satisfied........! à la prochaine bye
The work on the wheels is, as always, absolutely perfect. Its nice to see those tires mounted to the wheels, and I was surprised how many you can get done, BY YOURSELF (!) in one day!
On top of that, I noticed that your video editing and photography has changed. They were really good before, but now they are even better. I really enjoyed the different angles from which you were shooting, and the quick transitions between scenes towards the end.
That's some great work you are doing there, 'offline' and 'online'. My hat's off to you! :)
yes, the underside of the wheels really showed what those modified c clamps were for. awesome view.
Indeed, someone mentioned the improvement in your camera work in the comments on part 9 and now looking at this one I have to say that the Hollywood editors and cinematographers have nothing on you. As one of them has said about their craft, "Every frame a painting." See also CZcams channel of same name.
I've watched many of your videos and I am amazed at the quality of your work. You are truly a craftsman and the sad thing is that skills like yours aren't generally part of today's life. You are very impressive.
I can also not get myself to crawl around on the floor doing a job. Build a table or trestle, its worth it. Very good looking wheels.
I am impressed that in handling tires that are a black heat, there is nary a scorch or burn mark on the shirt.
Although I live in a country / Brazil that does not have this tradition, I am fascinated by his projects that are manifested in his works of art. So, thank you so much.
Another must watch video. One doesn't get bored as you use the right amount of normal speed and fast speed which makes a great video. I like how you work smarter. Many thanks for sharing you skill with us. Cheers
Welltime to eat some humble pie, I painted professionally on and off for 20 yrs, always hated getting paint in that can groove. used to punch holes in it with nail to let it drain. Never thought about keeping it out of the groove! that masking tape was my "learning" for the day. (and Im 77yr old too!" hence you're never too old to learn. Sometimes you just can't see the forest for the trees. Thanks again Dave . My advice to the younger generation?! don't ever be afraid to admit what you didn't know, and accept the knowledge with gratitude.
again nice video, formerly they must have had huge industries since they needed millions of these wheels. And since there were no flat roads they often broke. Without these videos by Mr. Engels, this knowledge would be forgotten soon.
Thanks for letting us watch. I really appreciated seeing the slights you've developed for doing that job solo. I can tell that it's not your first rodeo. :-)
Workin smarter, not harder. Your back will love ya for it.
Thank you, Mr. Engel. Another great video, as always. Love that rotating torch setup!
FAntastic Job Sir, It is always refreshing for me to watch your videos at night when I plan to watch a movie and I open CZcams and start watching your videos.
I always enjoy your videos and normally learn a thing or two. I owned a millwork finish shop for 15 years and have never seen the tape on a can trick. Great idea!
It is great to watch such a skilled craftsmen work. The process and jigs are so well worked out is is made to look so easy.
At the 6:15 mark, I was curious what the masking tape on the rim of the can was for. Then at 6:30 it became clear. The tape kept the sealing surface of the can clean. Genius!!! Then at the end of the video, you make a statement about working on the "ground" and you preferred working at an elevated level. "That is called working smarter, not harder."
Indeed it is, I've always said work smart not hard lol
Also, when wheeling out the last wheel he stopped halfway to unplug the roller and tidy up. Saved a few foot steps right there. Economy of motion.
@@MrLikeke I think that's the best part of working on your own, everything is where you last left it.
@@keithdouglas4581 I work alone and still lose everything!😂
Rinse and repeat. Whew! Another long day is over. Great workmanship. Thanks for content.
Awesome craftmanship!! And he doesn't wear leather gloves! Amazing!
Thank you ECS.
Showing different angles helps to understand why you use the c-clamps.
Very good editing.
I hope your Thanking was good.
You are a true Artisan don't ever change I love your show
you are a true craftman amazing video
He needs an apprentice or this craft and trade will be lost to history
Need to slow down, your body will wear out and end up being held together with titanium and cadaver bone powder.
My life is more complete after watching your video. I raise my hat to you and thanks for letting me see your workmanship. . My very grateful thanks JR>
I felt like a dummy after seeing the trick with the tape was worth the whole thing !!
We at Campbell Cannon And Carriage Works Love Dave's work. He is our go to man. Thanks Dave
Just capturing this on video is a full-time job
O' Happy Day - another video from you. Settle in with fresh coffee and enjoy. As always - Thanks again
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, odds are this 50 yr old guy from Mississippi will never have to change out a wagon wheel. But stranger stuff has happened to me so thanks for the basic run down.
It is incredible what you are able to do alone. I guess that comes from 40 years of sweeping up sawdust.
Wow, I don't think I could handle the amount of speed this guy takes.
That's a nice ring-roller you've got yourself there.
Never would have believed one man could put an iron tyre on a waggon wheel all by himself!
A craftsman at work. Enough said
An excellent video showing different angles, and your one man jig ability amazes me every time, have another good day.
This man is an amazing craftsman. He makes hard work look easy.
I bet the local welding supply shop loves to see you coming

It’s a small enough town he might be IT!
We were, (welding and repair shop) in a town of 1600 people.
What a wonderful set of wheels....from a load of lumber, into graceful, timeless craftsmanship.
Your trick with the masking tape on the paint can is great!! Stealin' that one. ;)
The tape on the paint rim is genius!
Thank you for these marvelous videos. You are a master craftsman and thank you for keeping a craft that helped build this country alive.
I have got to give you credit for improvising tools and accessories to accomplish your tasks. You are so talented you should be proud! Please don't stop... and please don't stop making videos, you are the best! Thanks for making them!
Nice inventive mix of camera positions. Thank you.
Great to see again and again that you are a master tool designer and maker too.
You Sir, are a steely eyed wagon wheel maker man! You have my total respect!
Excellent, as always! I appreciate your craftsmanship...you are truly an artisan.
What a treat you are to watch...thank you for your efforts!
like your comment about making things convenient so you don't have to work on your knees - that gets real old real fast. thanks for the insights on building wheels
Um inigualável talento. Não é apenas uma roda de carruagem,é uma magnífica arte.
Goodness. It was worth watching this video just for the tip about avoiding messing up the lip of your paint cans when pouring. That's something I shall be borrowing going forward.
I absolutely love watching you work. First came across your channel when you were forging some big iron for the borax wagons. As a solo blacksmith myself, it was really impressive to see you working.
@@EngelsCoachShop Great to hear! Your videos are an inspiration to millions and I hope you keep churning them out for decades to come!
What kind of dope would put a thumbs down on this. Awesome work. True master and hard worker
My Swedish grandfather the carpenter taught me 1/3rd shellac, 1/3rd turpentine, 1/3rd boiled linseed. The shellac had been already mixed into liquid form from cuts. For 40 years I have used the mix on all wood projects I build or repair. Nowadays I reckon the Helmsman spar varnish is a good deal.
That was one outstanding series. My hat is off to you for your work.
You know when you are watching a true craftsman when everything he does looks easy ..
Half the interest is watching how you make it work as one man. A lot of us out here do not have all the help we might want so we either pick up some new tricks or appreciate the one's we see. Totally agree about the folks who work on the floor when there is an alternative.
I sure hope we get to see the cannons like we did the 20 mule team semi-truck. Its not a wagon man, its an extremely important addition to history.
I could not be more impressed with your work, your work ethic and all the various ways you make things work on your own. I too work mainly alone and I have to come up with inventive ways to do you, but you certainly have it mastered in your shop.
Kudos and I'm going to be using your paint can masking tape trick for sure!
Cheers from Tokyo Japan!
Really it's a pleasure to watch you work.
I'm going to be showing your tape tip in a future video of my own and crediting you for sure.
All the best in 2019.
Cheers!
Aaaaaaah neat trick on the varnish can with the masking tape. Very nice!!!
A modern day Georg Sturt!! If I wasn't 68 I'd ask to apprentice with you. :)
I admire your skill and dedication. All the best
Love it! There is much beauty in the most utilitarian things when done with skill and care. You inspire.
Hi, Always looking forward to your videos, dosent that says it all, thanks for taking us along.
The 3 part mix is good for lots of wooden items, including tool handles.
Excellent series on wheel building, start to finish. Very well explained along the way. And I enjoyed the stories you threw in about some of the evolvement of your business. Thanks!
More camera angles than that bullet scene in the Matrix!!! Thanks for this series.
I'm exhausted. It feels like I did a 14 hour shift just watching him work lol. Great video. Thank you so much
After all that beautiful hard work I hope we get to see the cannons and somebody commented about you firing it that would be a thumbs up
