The Art of Steam Bending in Stagecoaches | Engels Coach Shop

Unusual compound twists and bends are used in stagecoach rear seat arms on these Yellowstone Park stagecoaches. This is going step by step through the procedures I use to make these difficult bends, using 1" kiln dried poplar. 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
