Nanno,
Construction of my pulling harness has begun!!!
Today I built what I think is a pretty nice Whiffletree. Its amazing how simple, effective, and relavent such a old piece of technology can be. I made a set of fully adjustable lower traces that attach to the Whiffletree. I also made a breast collar and neck strap set with large connection rings for the lower traces. I began working through the process of constructing the britchen, the harness pad and girth strap. Luckily I had already made the pull poles or in harness pulling terms the shafts. I am feeling pretty good about what I have gotten done so far and my plan going forward.
Are there any issues that are jumping out at you? I know my traces are long but I can easily adjust that at the Whiffletree knot.
The first picture is of my sled rigged for a person (me).
Again thank you so much for your time and expertice!!!
