MAKING THINGS RIGHT - OLE THORSTENSEN KARTONIER...

A celebration of craftsmanship  teamwork  and the relationship between contractor and client.
An enriching and poetic tribute to manual labour. Karl Ove Knausgaard Making Things Right is
the simple yet captivating story of a loft renovation  from the moment master carpenter and
contractor Ole Thorstensen submits an estimate for the job to when the space is ready for
occupation. As the project unfolds  we see the construction through Ole s eyes: the meticulous
detail  the pesky splinters  the problem solving  patience  and teamwork required for its
completion. Yet Ole s narrative encompasses more than just the fine mechanics of his craft. His
labor and passion drive him toward deeper reflections on the nature of work  the academy versus
the trades  identity  and life itself. Rich with descriptions of carpentry and process  Making
Things Right is a warm and humorous portrayal of a tightknit working community  a story about
the blood  sweat  and frustration involved in doing a job well and the joys in seeing a vision
take shape.
