Man risikerer jo at få et indblik i den jævne mands(og ikke kvinde) liv.

A lovely and skilfully made site, thanks, and thanks for the information in it. We have done quite a bit of ancient vehicle reconstruction [18 chariots so far, 13 of those using bentwood and rawhide techniques, another soon to be done] using, as far as practicable, original techniques. We have developed skills in using rawhide to fix vehicles together,and some of the ones made have done several tens of miles and furnished at least a little information about what wears and what bits need special attention in the manufacture. By the way, you throw me a little by using the word 'wagon' for all vehicles, in Britain it refers exclusively to 4-wheeled vehicles, but I will admit that the more precise naming of all types is nightmarish in its variability. I note that the reference material you use is from mainland Europe, and would draw your attention to Roman wheels in the National museum in Edinburgh, though I think the minute detail of construction of wheels, yokes and so on which I have needed to follow in oder to make the vehicles which I have is a something you don't need to do. I am planning a book on the consruction of wooden wheels through the ages, and by gum it'll be a rattling good read..they are so varied and pretty Robert Hurford Dear Kristian
