Tools Change. Values Don’t - Settlement Post and Beam | WAMCAST #0104


Listen Later

Our USA trip continues where we stopped and visited this amazing family business in Sylvain, Pennsylvania. We speak with Connie & Kayle Sickler.

This conversation features a family running a timber frame business and explores their philosophy and journey. They discuss the origins of the business, tracing a love for timber framing through generations, and the decision to incorporate CNC machining for efficiency and wider reach while still valuing traditional craft. The family emphasizes the importance of work-life balance, prioritizing family time over unlimited growth, and their belief in collaboration with external experts. They also touch on the durability and potential for reuse of timber frames, viewing their work as creating lasting structures that become part of people's lives and the landscape.
