The Dandelion Salvager, Salvagers and Salvaging
The latest book by author Alan McEwen.
Author & Dandelion Stone Troughs owner Alan McEwen has a lifelong passion for heavy Mechanical Engineering and Industrial History, also many years’ experience of working with salvaged materials such as stone, brick, metals and timber. Around twenty years ago, this led to Alan designing his own home, World From Rough Stones House, and constructing it from reclaimed materials. Alan still continues to design and construct other fascinating Salvage projects.
Within the pages of this unique book, profusely illustrated with colour photographs, the author chronicles the fascinating personal stories of ten Salvagers and describes their creative work.
