NEW BOOKS NOW AVAILABLE!

During the pandemic I completed two new Rocking Horse books...

The Complete Rocking-Horse Maker

2nd edition - fully revised

In The Complete Rocking-Horse Maker 2 I have distilled all that I've learned in 45 years as a designer, maker & restorer. The comprehensive and practical manual contains projects for all levels of ability, from simple hobby and chair horses for toddlers to a fully-carved carousel horse & archetypal Victorian style beauties in several sizes.

The book has been fully revised and updated and describes traditional solid wood construction and carving as well as plywood laminated method. Also chapters on tool use, restoration & the history of rocking-horses.

Soft cover, A4, contains over 435 photographs and 60 drawings.

Making It with Rocking-Horses

Almost 50 years ago the author set out to revive a near-defunct craft and, together with partner and wife Pat, build a fulfilling and profitable life-style enterprise. 

This is a very personal story of unprecedented success in the face of flood, fire, bureaucratic obstacles, near-death experiences, and tragedy.

Soft cover, wrap-round jacket, A4, with over 75 photos and drawings.

“A must-read for anyone trying to juggle family, business and creative endeavours.” www
