Having covered tools in his first book, Dominic Chinea turns his attention to machines.

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.
