Upcycling: 20 Creative Projects Made from Reclaimed Materials
Product ID: 111070245
"The expert when it comes to turning old junk into special pieces of furniture . . . includes some speedy [projects] you can craft in next to no time." — Prima Ever thought about transforming that rusty old item in the garage into something awesome to impress your dinner guests, or fancied refurbishing the random old dining chair in the shed but don't have the tools or know-how? Discover your inner design genius, find out where to find great scrap items and learn techniques on how to transform them into great designs with this stylish eco-friendly book by Dragon's Den entrepreneur and TV presenter Max McMurdo. Step away from the chipboard and venture out of your comfort zone into a glorious world of doodles, sanding, waxing, stunning colors and the satisfaction of telling people, "I made that!" You don't have to own expensive tools or have any previous experience. Some of the projects involve only a few simple steps and can be completed within an hour, whereas others may take the best part of a weekend and combine several different materials, techniques and tools. Whichever project you choose the most important thing is to have fun and remember design is all about experimenting and learning—and not about always getting it right! "Max is an upcycling alchemist who turns junk into something wonderful." —George Clarke, presenter of Channel 4's Amazing Spaces

Creative ideas abound in this edition.
The creativity overflows here! From the wheelbarrow chair to the repurposed washing machine drum. I found the ‘Tools & Techniques’ section very helpful.

Good info, great concept!
Provides some good ideas on different materials and approaches to "upcycling". Love the concept, and this book takes some of the intimidation out of useful projects. Also provides ideas on where to source the materials which is half the battle.

Very nice pictured instructions
Very cool ideas. Just wish there were more everyday items and tools that could have been used. Definitely need to have major no doubt expensive tools for these crafts.

Up cycling on button moon
Very enjoyable book, I wonder if Max, as a child, watched my up cycled, TV series, titled button moon ... For Thames television, its amazing what you can do with bottles and spoons and plastic dishes .... But I must omit we never use scaffolding,wooden pellets... And plumbers piping,Lets all recycled ... Go on have a go ... using the book for very helpful tips and practical inventions

l'ho regalato ad un amico alle prime armi con i lavoretti di casa che ha appena ristrutturato casa nuova e deve arredarla. oltre alle idee spiega anche il procedimento (non nel dettaglio tecnico) con i vari step illustrati. tante belle idee consigliato
