- 74 slats, 296 angle cuts, and 148 holes for these Smith Spreader slats to function properly. That's a lot of angles and holes that have to be just right in order for this apron to rotate freely as it unloads the manure. Another step closer in getting this 115 year old Great Western Spreader functioning again. Thanks for coming along.

Your attention to details is what makes us appreciate the work that is put in to a fine finished product. The fact the descendant of this manure spreader gave you a heads up on color details is going to really make this project stand out. Thanks for taking us along.
When you get this all together you can spread alot of joy.😂
My dad always said I was spreading roses when I'd run the sh*t spreader
I was a bit surprised you didn't us a stop block when cutting the slats to length, but, you had clearly thought that through based upon the hole drilling setup. There's more than one way to "skin a cat" and I learn something new every time I watch your videos.
Watching your videos reminds me of the carpenter I once worked with who liked to say “Close enough is never good enough “
WE see Modern Marvels every week in the WheelWrights shop!!!!!!!
Never heard of the Janka scale. Thank you for sharing.
One reason I watch is to enjoy your boundless creativity.
Nicely done, with the drilling jig. Can't be too far off finishing the spreader, now.
Waiting to see the end result.
Yellow and red makes sense. Along with the black accents, it's a popping color set that would've taken the "eye" of any buyer. At that, yellow is, the international color of "sale". So the moving element of these machines being yellow doubly makes sense in that context. Of course, it would've gone for a different color after use, but hey, once you've bought it, it's no longer the company's concern. :))
Nice work! I've never been good with repetitive tasks, so i'm amazed when others pull them off so effortlessly. Years of experience speak their weight.
Great details from the family of the builders. I think you spend almost as much time building the jigs as you do making the parts.
In my oppinion your work is bloody mind bogling. Wish I had at least half your knowledge. Love your channel! Keep it up!
Dave because my dad was a hard core horse drawn machinery type guy. Him and I refurbished, or restored a few things. Now I want to say that it was International. However we restored a little cultivator. and i am certain he said it was a international. Any why what i am babbling on about was I was shocked when he painted some parts blue and some parts yellow. but i remember him telling me that, that was the corect colours of the culitvator we restored. Me chuckles I would have thought they were solid red but he told me no. they were red with blue and yellow parts. I am going back home this summer i will take a picture of his cultivator, it sits at my sister s place.
looking forward to another film Dave love your work
I love your old saw, but it would certainly be handy to be able to use a dado blade for some of your work.
Holy Moly,, what a lot of work!!
That color combination must have been striking to see working away in the sunny fields!
Your jig was genius
I like all the ingenious jigs you make, to make your job easier at reconstructing the manure spreader. Stay safe.
Wow! lots of work with the router. I think it might be time to invest in a router table, or even a shaper. Especially if there is more of this volume of work in the future. I have much respect for you!
Looking forward to seeing this spreader in action. I remember as a boy in the 50's, my Dad had a spreader that was of a similar design and look but not as old as the one you are restoring. I think it was a John Deer... I remember it was green anyway and kind of old even then. I love seeing these old machines come back to life. Thanks, Dave...

Marvellous demonstration of how it's done , looking forward to the next one
Great video Sir detailing how you go about designing and cutting the work you do. I really learned something new about how to drill holes repeatedly at a set distance .
2:06 I worked in sawmills plainermills and as a logger I live in Maine I got sxhooled in what you said and you're spot on
Very simple but very affective jig for your saw. A router table might work as well. The project is looking good. Have fun thanks for bringing us along. You make me want to buy more tools.
I have suggested a shaper or router table in the past and not gotten a reply. It would save time.
Great work. Always interesting to see what steps you go through and to see it come together is special. Especially when wood has gotten so expensive
I have been watching your channel since the borax wagon days with admiration for your ethic and ability. After 50 years of carpentry of all sorts including wooden boats and furniture I am still surprised by how much I learn from you! I am sure we would be fast friends. Thank you for making these great videos, old dogs still learn! .
Likewise, I have also been watching Dave's videos since the video on those magnificent Borax Wagons !! He is, without doubt, a true Master woodworking blacksmith !! Thank you for sharing Dave and Diane !!
This is turning out like a factory authorized rebuild ( : with “Engels Deluxe” upgrades). Can't wait to see it in action! Thanks Dave and Dianne for making these videos.
Table saw and drill press jigs were most excellent for mind-numbing, repetitive tasks!
All the best from Traverse City, Michigan!
Wow, every operation x75. That's what I call a labour of love.
I like your idea to cut the relief on the slats; I must admit my first thought was to make a router jig similar to a mitre box and have angles supports on both sides so one end of the slat could be processed in one go but your idea has probably got better dust collection. The problem solving approach you have is what makes things interesting and drives me in the shop. Thank you.
Thanks for all your explanations you've got a real good grip on how things need to be done and your work really shows it,thanks for posting 🤗😎🤗😎
It's at times like this that your combination of skill, experience and patience really show. Well done with such a repetive task that needed much patience and accuracy.
Love this project and it intricacys. Amazed to see it rise from rot and splinters.i never knew I was interested in manure spreaders.
❤ thanks for the information on wood hardness.
As always impressive workmanship,you attention to detail is bar none.just continue on doing what you do best.great video.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Idk what it is, but I love that shade of red!! It really reminds me of the red they painted the town of Lago/Hell in the movie _High Plains Drifter_ starring Clint Eastwood.
I cannot believe you still have ten fingers. I would have lost concentration and lopped off at least two during all that repetition. Bravo!
Its AMAZING how your work bench makes such a great table saw !!
Having the influence of that relative of the original has turned out to be very handy!. Nice to see something work out for one's advantage once and a while. what amazes me is that seem to get through most repetitive work with few if any errors. I would have at least two in each batch haha. great going and thanks for sharing.
Stay safe and we'll see you next week.
Dying to see the finished product. I've really enjoyed this project. A bit of variety!
I could watch you work for hours ....
Thank you so much for sharing.
So you're actually intending to use this spreader for its intended purpose? Goodness! If I had done all of the beautiful work that you are doing, that fact would make me cry. I'm a dairy farmer here in WI and I use a spreader every day. They don't stay pretty-look'n for long LOL More power to ya, Dave. You're a true legend!
Your sticky up pin jig is exactly what I use for building drawer pulls
Enjoy watching the detail. Material selection, jig creation and pin stop at the drill press
👍👍
A genius with patience; gifted by God. Bless you and Mrs. Engels.
All clever stuff, Dave. I'm looking forward to seeing it finished now.
Hi from the netherlands ❤
Nog één.
If you had to do this again on a similar project, I suggest making your stop boards taller. This would allow you to drill 2 boards at once, saving you a lot of time. Great video as always, cheers :)
Just what I needed on a day when I'm home sick.
Hope you feel better soon mate.
I'll suggest an Aussie Cure-all Remedy, it's up to you if you take it.
A 750 ml bottle of Bundy OP Rum.
Either it will cure you, or make you forget about your ailment.
@@petert3355 Similar to the cure for the common cold. Drink one cup of cod liver oil. It doesn't cure the cold, but you will be afraid to cough.
Great video, work smarter, not harder! I bought a house built in the 60s. Needed to run a 10 gague stove wire through the floor joists in the basement. They were true 2 x 6 or 8s the brand new spade bit I bought burnt up within 2 joists. Man those old growth pine boards were hard! Nothing like the new stuff we buy nowadays.
Thank you for talking about woods types.
Salvaged old growth fir seems superior to second or third growth. It is hard to find.
Good choice in the maple. I’m learning!
It started loking like factory work with all the steps involved.
Real nice craftsmanship and Enginuity from simple methods vs. laser beams and sharks ! Thats a few table saw cuts and holes drilled Dave.
OLD SCHOOL HUMAN CNC PRECISION AND EFFICIENT WORK SIR. IN COLOR! REALLY GOOD STUFF. 👍
16:49 seeing the green fridge makes me wonder if there are any popsicles inside, but it’s probably not hot enough outside yet!
No Sketchup? god I love this channel! 😁
You do some really incredible things on that tablesaw
Another great episode with hidden surprises. I really enjoy your honesty and explanations of steps during these reconstruction processes.
No engineered piece of equipment is a s simple as the engineers started out with , always a little tweak here or there and a smidgen shorter, longer , or thicker here and there at the same time but eventually it fit sort of . You're doing an excellent job of figuring this out and making it work right before turning the product out the door to a customer. You are getting nearer the end on the manure spreader. Sure looking forward to seeing it move and work like it is suppose too. Stay safe and keep up the great work and fun you are having on this project. Fred.
Wow, lots of steps!!! It's coming along!!
I worked with a painter and he said when using yellow that a white base coat is needed.
Yellow can be transparent even after many coats.
Great solution for each step.
Funny how many times I've cut twine out of the back spreader.
Thanks for the lesson's
I love your use of jigs. Very clever work
I like the pin idea🤠
I would have measured from each end and been frustrated
Looking forward to finished manure spreader.I am hopping it will be like my Dads when I was a young child.Thanks for the video.
Once again thanks for the video.
that table saw is awesome, so is your skill, thx
Impressive, very clever Dave. Your explanations are crystal clear. Stu from U.K.
A lot of repetitive work in doing this restoration. Never would have guessed Yellow on the slats. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy your use of jigs to help make exact cuts and holes for each slat.
You're not just a pretty face.
What a craftsman!
I never fail to learn something from every single video. This was no exception. I’ll be using the tape on the saw trick.
That sure is a nice old table saw, good tools sure make repetitive work nicer.
I definitely love that saw! And your work. Not many folks left that care about the job they do.
I was wondering why you did not setup a stop block on the miter saw. If you had cut them all to the same length, it would have made the drilling quicker.
Keep it up!
As always, your videos are the most interesting on the net. Thanks for continuing making them.
Repeatability is the key to uniformity with multiple components, always worth the time to create jigs. The master at work, yellow sounds great and it should be no effort to find where you are on the paddock while you are using the spreader.
The jigs were clever, but the drill jig was my favorite. Very nifty 😁👍.
Thanks from England.
I'm surprised you did not set a stop on your chop saw so all the slats woud be exactly the same length without having to measure each one. That would also simplify drilling the holes.
As always, inspirational
A separate set jig for each operation . . . that's experience kicking in. Still impressive.
Another great episode on how to work.
So enjoy your videos. I’ve had similar projects with numerous identical pieces. It’s time consuming but you’re like me, you’ve got patience.
Never heard of the Janka hardness, similar to the Rockwell hardness test for steel sounds like.
Couldn’t count the number of Draper boards I cut in my youth working at a mom and pop lumber yard in California. That sketch brought back memories.
Yellow will make it quite brite. I like it the color scheme will be very nice. Thanks for sharing this build.
I love watching you work as always. I grew up in a very small town that had a real Black smith.
just beautiful.
Hi Dave and Diane ☺, maple was a good choice, and I find its nice to work whith, and I kind of like the smell as your cutting it. The jigs you made to speed up the job were certainly earning their keep, sometimes making a jig can take longer than actually using it, but always worth the time it takes. I like the idea of yellow slats, it'll sure jazz up the finished cart. Thanks for another interesting video, stay safe, best wishe's to you and Diane. Stuart, and Megan UK.
Dave, you make an excellent master teacher 🎉 great colour choice too. 👍
Enjoyed the video as usual, but wondered why you didn't set up a jig to cut the slsts to length. I don't like pulling the tape for repitive cuts so even if I have just a few I set up a jig, but my cut off saw is set up just a little different.
Always a pleasure to watch
Some time ago you did some experiments on the strength of wood using some kind of yoke arrangement. It would be interesting to go back and compare the results of that with the Janna hardness numbers of the different woods you tried.
You are a genius! So much fun to watch!
Thanks for sharing
Vertical grain Douglas fir was commonly used as exterior decking, such as on porches, so it weathers well. I have never heard of maple, soft or hard, used that way. I would have recommended oak for these slats. It has the strength and durability required for this application. Nice jig for the notches! Superb camera work, too! Thanks!
Two gripping projects, love the imperial sums. 😄 👍
Ben Franklin prefered metric!
looks brand new

I have substituted red oak for white oak on many trailer floors. Noticeably cheaper, nearly as durable.
