Hello there.

[Cut Once]

Hi. I’ve recently joined the forum so thought I’d introduce myself. I’ve been a carpenter for 23 years and worked as a set builder on films and music videos. Then a was a project manager at a busy woodworking firm. About eight years ago I set up my own company taking on bespoke woodwork projects. Now I’m getting into house building/construction and I’m planning to make a granny annex for my mother to move into. Ive got a fair bit of experience with carpentry but not much in the other areas of building/planning so I’m hoping you guys can give me some advice and hopefully I can share some woodworking knowledge. Cheers. Jacques.

Welcome Jacques.

 

I like timber as a construction material, and specially if it can be made as modules in a shed.

 

Where did you work out n the film industry, I did some work in that field a while back.

I like your chosen name @Cut Once.

As you will know from your profession, planning ahead is vital, and lots of people here will help.

After a career dominated by steel, I too like wood.

I did nine years in London (Pinewood, Elstree, Shepperton etc) and one year in New Zealand.
