Description

This book discusses the day-to-day operations, career opportunities, and requirements involved in the field of carpentry. The coauthor is Scott Harrison.

Quick Summary

The book pulls back the curtain on a career where you actually get to build things with your hands, rather than just reading about abstract concepts in a textbook. Readers discover the real-world math, the creative problem-solving, and the satisfaction of seeing a project go from blueprints to finished structure. If your kid loves the hands-on creativity in "The Invention of Hugo Cabret" or dreams of building like their favorite Minecraft creations, this book shows them a real-world path to make those skills pay off. With an AR Level of 8.1 and an Interest Level for Upper Grades 9-12, it's perfect for teenagers curious about trade careers or anyone who wants to see what it actually takes to work in carpentry.
