Joel Bird Livres

The ideal seasonal gift for those ready to embark on a journey towards creating their own dreamspace.The humble shed is changing. The old shed, the graveyard of unwanted furniture and unused electric appliances is being transformed into something much more wonderful. The new sheddies are dreamers, creatives, entrepreneurs. And whilst there will always be a place for the man cave, the new generation of sheds is changing the way we live and work. Sheds are opening up a world of possibilities for the most unique and under used space in our homes.Written by designer builder, TV personality and all round shed progressive Joel Bird, The Book of Shed is for the new vision of the shed. A beautifully designed hardback book, it will provide you with the inspiration and the information you need to plan and create your new space by combining imaginative ideas and beautiful design with practical thinking and building knowledge.

The mindfulness of carpentry; sourcing and seasoning your timber; tongue and groove, lap and spleen; legs, aprons, stretchers and trestles; fox wedges and tenon joints: through his inimitable artistry, wit and individualism, Joel Bird passes on the skills of table making while also expressing the personal journey that accompanies the learning of these skills. Split into four parts--table beginnings, the table top, the table base, and the table finishing--The Table Maker is part meditation and part guide book, and has within its pages the information needed to make a quality table of your own.
