Before the engine, a farm ran on well-made harness and the leather that held it together. Paul Hasluck's manual teaches harness making from the ground up, covering materials, strap work, stitching, cart collars, and saddles. Detailed, hands-on instruction in a vanished trade. For the craftsman or historian curious about the gear that once put horsepower to work. Learn the leatherworker's art.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
