Instead, on leaving full-time education, he embarked on a career as an editor for a specialist publisher. This led him into the world of graphic design, where he found it possible to indulge a creative passion for well over twenty years. It was at this point that he decided to take an opportunity to realise a lifelong dream. He is now a full-time woodworker, designing and building furniture, repairing old joinery, and writing about the techniques that he has spent nearly forty years acquiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelling Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA methodical approach to this crucial woodworking skill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes sections on all stages from planning to assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers a selection of essential joints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith clear, step-by-step instructions and photography throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for both new and experienced woodworkers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46853683216620,"sku":"9781784944414","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/14058973482823.jpg?v=1759214585","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/joints-by-r-laughton-9781784944414","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
