Having covered Tools in his first book, Dominic Chinea turns his attention to Machines. Featuring 100 machines, defined as items with a mechanism to help transfer energy, Dom looks at objects including the potter's wheel, grain mill, sewing machine, printing press, wheel maker and plenty more. Each machine has a fascinating history and story to tell that highlights its contribution to artisanal crafts. And with every machine accompanied by beautifully ornate illustrations by Lee John Philips, it's certain to be a treasured book for all creators and craftspeople.
