Simon has a life long passion for making things out of wood. Since being on the Shift Practical Sustainability Course in 2011, he has married his carpentry skills and low impact ethos to deliver numerous natural building projects.

He has learnt from Tony Wrench, and worked alongside him and Jo Forsyth and Charles Soares teaching roundhouse building for the Shift course. He has developed some skills to simply relay scribing techniques required to accurately join round timbers, loving the challenge of demystifying the complicated.
