Diy furniture 2 a step by step guide by christopher stuart

Acknowledgments I want to thank everyone at Laurence King Publishing as well as the foreign publishers that contributed to the success of the first book. Without your efforts, we wouldn’t have this book. I want to thank you as well for giving me the opportunity to work on the second book. Many thanks to my editor, Peter Jones, who has a keen eye for detail and patience for math; it was a pleasure working with you again. And thank you Jason Ribeiro for your work on the art layout.

Of course I want to thank all of the contributing designers for not only being part of this book, but also for being pioneers in design. You are all incredibly brilliant and my heroes!

A special thanks to my amazing wife, Rachel for helping with the research and to my right-hand man, James for helping with the illustrations.

This book is dedicated to creatives everywhere. Follow your heart, never listen to those who say you can’t, and in the words of contributing designer to the first book, Anne-Mette Manelius, “Question everything.”
