About

There are many ways to make it, and I took the long way around. For a while, I was very broken, but for the last thirty years I have mostly been trying to help people make or repair things. It might be furniture, it could be a relationship: it might even be themselves.

Jay Blades found fame of TV's Money for Nothing and The Repair Shop, but behind the scenes is a breathtaking tale of triumph over adversity. Overcoming homelessness, an absent father, crippling dyslexia, racism, police brutality and a breakdown, Jay's positivity, pragmatism and kindness shine through these pages and show that with care and love, anything can be mended.

Now with a new afterword, this paperback edition of Making It shows us Jay's highs and lows, the triumphs and struggles of his life and reveals how his most impressive restoration job is the one carried out on himself.
