Practical Carriage Building

This combined reprint of Volumes 1 and 2 of the 1892 edition of Practical Carriage Building is perhaps the most complete and accurate contemporary work on the subject. It covers in great depth and with many illustrations the materials and tools used the making and repairing of wheels the making of carriage parts and their assembly framing and construction axles yokes whiffletrees patterns and layouts and many other useful and fascinating subjects. All sorts of carriages are discussed: buggies cabriolets and broughams phatons rockaways as well as sleighs and sleds and express delivery and farm wagons. A definitive easy to follow reference on this early trade that is now enjoying a well-deserved renaissance.
