Wagon building article - the real thing

I came across this article the other day and it makes interesting reading, particularly the mention of timber size used, reference to feeler gauges !and the way the door was formed to mention a few.

Hope you all are well.

Great read- must have been heavy hard graft, makes table top wagon building a breeze, well for Guy anyway! now where's that article on coach building. only 14 bodies to finish.
