Coachbuilding

The horse-drawn carriage, coach, wagon, and sleigh represented a high point in the history of woodworking: they had to be light, strong, sturdy, weatherproof, and elegant. Here are books of plans and patterns for building wooden sleighs, carriages, wagons, and coaches, along with tools and techniques for constructing, restoring, and finishing them. See also Joining Wood, Woodworking Techniques.
