A self-proclaimed `serial dropout`, Mark spent his young adult years taking work where he found it. Who would have thought that forty years later he would be regarded as a great carpenter, making a living out of building homes for the rich and famous?Full of warmth, wisdom and irreverent humour, this is the story of what carpentry can teach us about the satisfaction and joy that comes from doing something well for a long time.

Written with refreshing candour, this is an essential book about building life on your own terms, and the possibilities that await when we forge our own path.
