Hammer Head: The Making of a Carpenter

Hammer Head: The Inspiring Story of a Young Woman's Transformation from Desk Job to Carpentry. Join Nina MacLaughlin on her journey as she quits her desk job to become a carpenter, overcoming challenges and learning the joys of manual labor.

With infectious curiosity, she describes the history of tools and wood, and how it changed the way she sees the world.

Through her mentor Mary, wild demo dudes, foul-mouthed plumbers, grizzled hardware store clerks, and colorful clients, Nina learns the virtues and varieties of wood.

This inspiring book is full of sweat, swearing, bashed thumbs, and a deep sense of finding real meaning in work and life.
