Description

We are all makers. From brewing our morning coffee to folding a paper aeroplane, we find it satisfying to create something that didn’t exist before. And it isn’t just about the outcome. Making requires us to slow down and become absorbed in the process: an antidote to our fast-paced world.

We are all makers. From brewing our morning coffee to folding a paper aeroplane, we find it satisfying to create something that didn’t exist before. And it isn’t just about the outcome. Making requires us to slow down and become absorbed in the process: an antidote to our fast-paced world.

James Otter is an award-winning wooden surfboard maker with a passion for craftsmanship — and the ocean. In Do Make, he invites us to rediscover the joy of making. By using our hands to transform natural materials into objects of beauty and utility, we reconnect with our creativity, our environment, and back to ourselves.

Do Make will learn you about:

• Preparation: what to make, where and how to get started
• Process: learn to trust it and let go of perfection
• Power: develop confidence in your natural skills and ability

With incredible photography, plenty of encouragement and even a ‘how to’ guide to make your own handplane to take bodysurfing, Do Make reminds us that nothing quite beats the feeling of having made something with our own hands.

Isn’t it time to make your mark on the world?

About The Do Book Company

The Do Book Company at Misc-store Amsterdam

The Do Book Company launched in 2013 with the aim of helping creative entrepreneurs, makers and Doers work smarter and create positive change. Since then, their collection of pocket guides has grown to 40 (and counting!) titles spanning design, business, wellbeing and sustainable living, with each book focusing on the ‘doing’, not the background theory.

At Misc Store we encourage The Do Book Company's mission: getting people to Do more. Collaborating with a variety of different entrepreneurs, artists, doers, makers and thinkers, the Do Book series explores a wide variety of different topics. Have you ever thought of making jam or sourdough, perhaps developing a green finger or two, or start your own business? Do Books got you covered.

Each book is written by a speaker from the Do Lectures, an annual event held in west Wales, drawing on the practical experiences and research of each individual author. Their book is personal to them, while still being relatable and inspiring for its readers. The idea is a simple one: people who Do things can inspire the rest of us to go and Do amazing things too. Thumbs up from us.
