The Final Sheep Wagon Canvas Top Install | Engels Coach Shop

I hope these videos are stored somewhere safe so future generations can sit and watch a genuine craftsman at his work.

Mr Engle is a National Treasure

What a splendid adaptative reconstruction of that dilapidated old sheep wagon which you gave a breath of new life into. This sheep wagon will be one of the most admired displays in this museum. I want to thank you for your descriptive interpretative adaptation process encountered in this build. Also, thank you Mrs. Engel for your professional camera work and editing of these videos content.

"I have a pile of rotten wood and scrap metal, could you turn it into a sheep waon for me"? Dave, "hold my beer".

People like Dave are what make America great.

You make all of this process ... look so easy. Its an honor to have the opportunity to see these videos.

Excellent work and a true story to all who really remember the days in the plains of America. Thank You Dave.

Mr. Engel, Another Masterpiece completed. Thank you for allowing me to watch.......

It’s been great fun watching this remarkable restoration.

Your final result of this sheep herder’s wagon is a masterpiece of workmanship and an excellent demonstration of the many crafts once common, of an era long past and now mostly forgotten, though still practiced by a select few craftsmen such as you. The craftsmen of Amish and Mennonite religious sects that live in my area also come to mind… Thank you again for reconstructing this sheep herder’s wagon and documenting the entire process. It has been a joy to watch your transformation from a pile of deteriorated pieces to a beautifully finished vehicle.

Thank you for taking me with you on this restoration project. You are not just a master craftsman of many areas but a real old world craftsman.

Continued great work Dave! I don’t believe the world today has craftsmen with the patience you exhibit!

Watching you manufacture this practically from scratch is incredible. Your level of skill is second to none, Mr. Engel.

This is probably the best sheep wagon ever made this man is a A1 carpenter and everything else!!!!!

I have watched with great interest this entire build for I wanted to see just what it took. In early 1912 my paternal grt. Grandpa made just such a wagon, as did his brother, to travel from the Oklahoma pan handle to Arkansas, to look for work and visit family. They got all the across Oklahoma but the way became too harsh to continue as my grt. Grandma was with child. They turned back in hopes of reaching the town of Garber, which they had passed the day before, but they did not make it in time. My grandma's younger sister Daisy was born in the wagon on the dusty trail, with no doctors assistance, just the midwifing skills of my grt. Grandma's sister and their husbands. Thank you so much for bringing this bit of family history back to life for me.

I certainly enjoyed this build. Thanks for filming and sharing.

Another incredible project coming to a close. I'm always torn with these things... one one hand I'm excited for the next project... on the other I'm aware how much I'm going to miss this project... ah well. The museum should be proud to display such a fine piece of craftsmanship.

Excellent finished product! Thanks.

That’s a lot of tacks to be hammered by hand… what a fantastic restoration!

You just finished the Cadillac of wagons! Amazing work sir. Such skills. Thanks for sharing this with us.
