About Us
Wayne Snider has been buying and restoring antique wagons to their original condition for nearly half a century. In 1965 Wayne restored his first wagon which is currently owned by the Will Rogers Range Riders of Amarillo, Texas. Since then he has restored or repaired over 95 wagons, including horse-drawn hearses, stagecoaches, hitch wagons, tank wagons, carriages, surreys and several buggies.
Bill Thompson was trained as a machinist and aircraft mechanic prior to joining Wayne’s Wagon Works in 1995. Bill has competed in and won several chuck wagon competitions. He has conducted numerous chuck wagon judging clinics for the American Chuck Wagon Association throughout Texas and in Georgia. A true craftsman, Bill’s attention to detail is evident in each completed wagon project.
Wayne’s Wagon Works restores and repairs all types of horse-drawn vehicles. Our specialty is building and outfitting chuck wagons for competition cook-offs, as well as for ranch use. We also build chuck wagons for yard art decoration. The workshop is located in Amarillo, Texas on West Amarillo Boulevard which was originally Route 66.
We pride ourselves in authentically restoring wagons to their original condition.
