Would
you like to be able to make professional quality harness for your
horse-drawn vehicle? Whether you are just starting out or an experienced
leather worker, this book has everything you need. Each chapter
begins with a listing of the harness part to be made and all the
hardware needed. Then a step-by-step description of how the part
is made and the components assembled follows. The making of each
piece for the part, no matter how small, is clearly explained. A
“Short Recipe” for each harness part is included that gives all
the measurements for each piece at a glance. The pictures, patterns
and illustrations cover six styles of harness in eight different
sizes: single driving in three sizes with two different styles of
bridles and two different trace arrangements; double driving harness
in three different sizes; single draft driving for 1,600 to 1,800
pounds; single pony harness in two sizes; team wagon or farm harness
for 1,600 to 1,800 pounds and 2,000 pounds or more; single and team
mule harness 850 to 900 pounds. There is a detailed table of contents
and index for quick reference. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn
from the experts--authors Martin and Preston have more than a half
a century of harness making experience between them!
