I have watched only two of your videos so far Sir. I am deeply moved by your skill, craftsmanship and knowledge. As time permits I will be viewing each of your videos. I am a retired Steam Turbine Millwright and fully understand the satisfaction you feel in performing your craft. The first video I watched was the Borax Wagon Wheel build, 8 total. Absolutely amazing. If I were 45 years younger I would work for room and board to apprentice in your shadow.

I used to see other contractors who never took the same steps and their hammers were always loose and needing re-shafted.

I have wondered for years how these old parts were made. I was raised on a farm in the 50's and we had three teams of draft horses and horse drawn equipment for all of the tilling and harvesting. All of the neighbors had tractors and "modern" equipment. It was embarrassing for me at the time and I resented being so poor that we had to use the old stuff to get the crops in. Now, several decades later I would be proud to be doing the work with that old equipment. Time certainly has a way of adjusting one's attitude. All of the old equipment has since developed feet and walked off during the night. Now it's being used for lawn and yard ornaments all over the country. Thank you Mr Engel for the fine videos, they are much appreciated.
