Saw, chisel and hammer: Women in carpentry

Carpenters Angela Cacace and ClΓ©mentine Mollier thrive in a male dominated industry

When Angela Cacace moved into her new house, she decided to teach herself how to renovate it. Angela is now running her own company, A.Marie Design Build, and has launched Move Over Bob, an online resource for women in the skilled trades.

ClΓ©mentine Mollier is a French marine carpenter who specialises in restoring and building classic wooden boats. She has just joined the restoration team working on the HMS Victory, the oldest commissioned warship in the world.

Beatriz De La Pava Hucke meets both women who have carved their own career in a male dominated industry.
