4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good reference book for the actual Coach reconstruction,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Restoration of Carriages (Paperback)
I found this book very enlightening as to the construction of the Coach itself. The techniques on finishing I will certainly use in other woodworking ventures. It was nice to find out that the old coaches used lead paint, a hazard I'll have to remember if I am ever lucky enough to find a Coach that old. The down side is that there are not enough drawings or photos of Coaches reconstructed. The few illustrations only whet my appetite for more, so the search continues.
