Sledding with the Boys
#13
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!!!
