There is something very satisfying about sitting at a dining table that you have built yourself. Erik Eje Almqvist shows how you can build furniture yourself. Because you don't have to buy expensive tools or deal with special joining methods. All the designs are based on the principles of Italian designer Enzo Mari (1932-2020), an icon of the do-it-yourself movement. The 18 projects and methods described are so simple that anyone can recreate them satisfactorily with simple timber, a hammer and nails. The descriptions range from stools and chairs to tables and benches, lamps and cupboards.
