Changing Times in the Wagon Shop | Engels Coach Shop

This YouTube video library is designed to preserve the wheelwright trade so it is not forgotten. Having over 40 plus years in the wheelwright trade, I have witnessed number of changes brought from the changing of generations passing on. Some are fortunate to pass their skills and knowledge on to younger folks, while others take their knowledge and wisdom to the grave with them. This is my attempt to pass some things forward. This channel has been dedicated to preserving what I can in regard to the wheelwright trade. Having covered a broad spectrum of the fundamentals of a wheelwright, my change in purpose will now be to focus on the wainwright trade aspect of carriage and coach building. The month of August I will be tying up loose ends on what wheels I have left here in the shop, but not videoing them. Hopefully by September I will be more involved in carriage and coach building principles and fundamentals and be back to uploading videos again. See you all then. New Merchandise Stores!
