This early work on concrete pottery and garden furniture is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains instructions and illustrations for vases, fences, benches and much more. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the skills of DIY. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
