Practical Carriage Building, by M.T. Richardson, Compiler. 285 Pages. Softbound. Originally published in 1891, this reprinted book by the author of Practical Blacksmithing, Part I and Practical Blacksmithing, Part II, this book represents an attempt to compile in a single volume, all that was then known about the art and practice of carriage building. In chapters that address the tools, techniques, materials and essential elements of design, Richardson succeeds mightily at his avowed goal. Addressing every thing from the wheels to the trimmings and also carriages without wheels, this book is filled with practically lost information about a nearly forgotten age. Whether you are a student of trades or a would-be carriage builder, "Practical Carriage Building" will undoubtedly entertain and enlighten you. $27.95 (BK-0117)
