Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Anyone who enjoyed this or the Borax wheel vid (same shop, same yt channel) should really consider watching the whole Borax wagon project playlist. It's long (like 4 hours or something), but the scope and scale of the project is epic (to give you an idea, the empty 3-wagon train weighs something like 18,000 lbs, and they fabricate the whole thing from scratch).
It's a really cool mix of woodworking and blacksmithing, and they combine traditional and more modern techniques is a really ingenious way. Plus, the historical aspect adds another dimension to it- the wagons were originally built to make 10-day (each way) trips hauling ore out of Death Valley.
Anyway, it's one of the best things I've seen on youtube, and it deserves way more views than it currently has.
Love this, great video!
Sometimes think the video making is artisanal in itself. The pace. The narrative. The shots. Fantastic stuff.
I love it when the craftsman includes mistakes ans errors. I learn a lot from seeing someone correct a problem.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I love everything about this video. My fav is not just the techniques and tools and βmistakesβ (I prefer outcomes) but also how the sound is included in the sped up video. Never stop including that.
