  • My ‘Go To’ for Carpentry & Joinery.

    Thank you Robin for years of useful, interesting and entertaining content. My favourite podcasts have actually been when you’ve had no guests on and instead spoken of your own experiences in the trade. I’ve found your words to be honest, down to earth and although very informative, the thing I’ve taken most from them is the lift in confidence they have given me in my own work. Working as a sole trader in this industry myself, it’s encouraging when I can identify with the words of someone who has... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Makes a Great Carpenter?
Q: Can someone be a great carpenter without formal qualifications? And should we judge competence in the trade?
Jay Elliott says experience can matter more than qualifications on paper, citing a highly capable carpenter who learned through experience. He also emphasizes the importance of passing practical knowledge on.
What Makes a Great Carpenter?
Q: What does being a good carpenter actually mean to you? And what separates the good from the great?
Emily Kitchin says great carpenters think ahead to later stages of a project, consider the needs of other trades, and draw on broad knowledge beyond the quality of their immediate work.
Building Wood House: The Future of Timber Construction?
Q: How do you see traditional joinery skills working alongside these modern construction methods?
Ferrão says modern methods deliver speed and accuracy, while traditional skills provide a handmade quality and warmth. Time and cost savings can be redirected into craft where it matters.
Building Wood House: The Future of Timber Construction?
Q: Why did you choose CLT for Wood House, and what did it allow you to achieve?
Ferrão wanted speed, accuracy and the ability to build the roof's complex geometry, while also meeting sustainability goals and enjoying timber interiors.
Fire Doors and Door Hanging: Are We Losing a Crucial Carpentry Skill?
Q: What is the information he needs to find out? Where can he find it? And how should he upskill himself?
Will Griffiths recommends obtaining the door's test evidence before installation, usually from the manufacturer or its certification scheme, and not beginning without that information.
