Practical Carriage Building by M T Richardson
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.M.T. Richardson was the editor of an early magazine about blacksmithing. A bible of the trade, Practical Blacksmithing collects his extensive knowledge and, in his own words, a variety of practical information formed of contributions of hundreds of able workmen scattered over a wide area.
