Female Carpenters/Joiners & Their Experiences On The Tools

The Carpentry Show

Monday, 9 June 2025 - 28 minutes

Robin Clevett is joined by women from the trade in the UK who are undoubtedly trailblazing their way into a male dominated industry and having tremendous success doing so. Robin talks to Jade McDonald, about her experiences learning skills and why there might be fewer women in Carpentry/Joinery than other trades within construction. Robin chats with Lisa Tisor, who works closely with friend of the show John Argyle. Lisa talks about how she got started, experiences working with John and the enjoyment of working with timber. Finally, Emily Kitchin AKA Chippy Em Building & Carpentry discusses setting up an all female construction company as well as her experiences on the tools and plans for the future
