Building on the Past is a podcast for anyone ready to ditch the desk and build something real. We dive into the world of heritage carpentry — where skill, history, and purpose come together. Hear from the craftspeople restoring buildings, reviving lost techniques, and finding meaning in hands-on work. If you’re tired of pushing paper and want to shape something that lasts, it’s time to start building on the past.
