Do you love horse drawn carriages want to get ideas about building, painting and carriage hardware?
Unfortunately, when carriage factories closed their doors; and when the more than 40 carriage trade associations disbanded; when the technical schools for the craft ceased to exist; their literature was dispersed, destroyed, and forgotten.
For all practical purposes, the manufacture of carriages is a vanished craft.
