I've Never Worked on This Style of Tongue in 45 Years | Engels Coach Shop

You gave that young man a memory that will last his whole life.

And thank you, Dave. For bringing a bit of sanity back into the World. It restores a bit of faith when I see a young man like Bryce getting involved. 😊🇬🇧

I believe that this young man might have the "right stuff". Thank you Dave for giving him a glimpse of a possible future.

Nice to see a young man with a decent haircut, well dressed and being able to survive without a phone in his hand. Well Done Sir.

As a 68 year old man, I love watching you do the things that I no longer can do.

That kid is getting quite the hands on education. Imagine being Dave’s apprentice.

A craftsman mentor is difficult to find, especially one that wants to teach his skill.

Kids today lack opportunities like these to build practical skills and teach critical thinking and problem solving. We don't learn from our successes; we learn from our mistakes. Thanks for not rescuing this young lad. He is learning more than how to throw a hammer or build a coach. He's learning how to solve problems and that he will apply to so many other areas in his life. I had a teacher like you in High School. Years later, I reached out to thank him for teaching me so many life skills. His reply was "I didn't teach you anything... I simply let you learn." From me and the rest of America, thanks for letting him learn.

Here's how I know you're a good teacher, Dave. Bryce may not have squared the bolts in the same way you would have done it, but you didn't "correct" him. You let him do the job HIS way. His way may not have been as quick or efficient as the way you'd have done it, but you let him do the job in the way HE saw best. That takes patience - and a good teacher. And I still think that's the prettiest red color I've ever seen!

I appreciate you Dave. Thanks for being here. Bryce, you're standing on the shoulders of a Giant! Learn lots!!

Over the years, I’ve often thought that there is a desperate need for the knowledge you have to be passed down so that it isn’t lost forever. It’s not possible to teach everything, but it is possible to teach a youngster how to teach himself, as you obviously have. I often said that only if you come to me with the right attitude, I can help gain the right aptitude. Bryce certainly seems to have the right attitude.

A young man who knows how to use a hammer!? I'm thoroughly impressed. A couple of years to hone out the eagerness and form it to precision, and that youngster has a very bright future ahead of him.

Hi Dave, and Diane, The spreader is looking great. I look forward to seeing it in action. It is good of you to have Bryce along to further his knowledge in general for his future. I really must mention you Diane. Behind every good man, is a great woman. I believe that Dave couldn't do what he does without all of your support, and your hard work. I'm not sure what I would be without my wife Sue. Thanks for all you do, and thanks for sharing. Take care.

So glad we got to meet Bryce, excellent progress!

Great you are mentoring Bryce...now he will have a skill for the rest of his life and the self-confidence that it brings.

Brice looked like he was having a good time and serious about the work.

As it says in the good book, (Engineering for Dummies) "Let he who has not used an oversize nut as a washer/spacer cast the first stone."

I do admit I love the sound of that cherry-red round bar scorching those freshly exposed wood fibers. Sweet.

Nice to see you teaching a student. I am sure he appreciates your help. 😊

I hope Bryce decides to keep coming around. He's getting an education beyond his wildest dreams. Dave Engels is one of a kind.
