Wood steam bending is part guessing game, part intuition, part physics. These stagecoach rockers were just that and they had to be adjusted once I got them off their forms. These rockers hold the coach bodies to the undercarriages as the main suspension, so they're really essential to be right. Here's how we got there. Thanks for coming along.
Check out the NEW museum gift store site; treasuresoutwest.com
This is just the beginning of what will be available online. Items will be added regularly, but now available is the Engels Coach Shop line of signature t-shirts, caps and mugs.
If you're in the area, please feel free to stop by the shop and the museum as well. There are many home made from local artisans and Montana made gifts available. There is a Borax display commemorating the building of the Borax wagons in 2016 - 2019 and the Smith Manufacturing manure spreader that I rebuilt. It was from a local ranch just 5 miles from here brought out in the early 1910's. There are also many old tools related to the wheelwright trade and a display of lamps and tools from the Luminary Shoppe which operated here for over 40 years.
The shop is open Monday thru Friday 8 to 5. I am seldom around on weekends.
Winter Museum/store hours will be 10:00 am to 4:00 pm M-F
