Overview

The Repair Shop’s Dom Chinea takes you on an exploration of more than 120 essential machines found in the workshops and studios of the world’s finest artisans and heritage craftspeople.

Having covered tools in his first book, Dominic Chinea turns his attention to machines. Featuring more than 120 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.
