Hi, I am Nigel, an East Sussex-based framer.
I've completed timber framing courses with Joe Thompson at Weald & Downland, and more recently the MSc in Timber Building Conservation.
My experience lies in scribe rule, but I have an interest in moving to the square rule system. We have mixed woodland at home with a lot of ash, and decent amount of standing oak. My milling experience is mostly Granberg chainsaw mill, but I also have the Logosol M2 farmers mill twinned with a big Stihl MS660.
My wife Cathy and I attended Frame 2024 at Chiltern, and thought it was brilliant to meet up with so many like-minded people. Really looking forward to getting to know people better over the coming years.
Cathy has a lot of projects for me planned at home on the farm, but I am interested in helping out with other projects to gain more hands-on experience. I can bring my own tools.
Cheers, Nigel
