Filled with stunning illustrations and lively, engaging text, The Repair Shop's Dom Chinea guides readers through this celebration of the history and uses of over 100 machines, which have allowed artisans to create beautiful items for centuries. The Repair Shop's Dom Chinea takes you on an exploration of 100 essential machines found in the workshops and studios of the world's finest artisans and heritage craftspeople.
