About this title

Synopsis

This book puts at the disposal of the home handyman all the skills and techniques so painstakingly acquired and refined by master craftsmen in the work of a lifetime. In 700 tips and hints - for so long trade secrets - builders, carpenters, decorators, electricians, plumbers and other experts show how they go about their jobs. Even the most experienced handyman will discover new ways to save time, money and labour. The novice enthusiast will learn the professional way to tackle jobs in and around the home. Exciting projects were specially created for The Handyman's Handbook by international design consultants. The home handyman can now make for himself stylish and original furnishings for every room in the home and for every member of the family. The projects range from a selection of attractive and practical systems for finishing your own fitted kitchen to a set of intriguing "jig saw" cushions, from a surprisingly simple method for making upholstered furniture of even the most elaborate shapes to a series of carefully crafted wooden blocks from which any number of striking toys can be assembled. Other projects offer original approaches to basic shelving, screens and drawer units, providing different solutions to the most common problems in the home today - storage and display.
