Do Make - The power of your own two hands, published by The Do Book Co, brings back the joy of making with your hands. Author James Otter has found his passion in making surfboards by hand. Now he shows in the pages of this book, with stunning colour photography, how craft skills can help us reconnect with our creativity, environment, and ultimately back to ourselves.
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.

- 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
