Frazer Hepburn,
Aged 17
Qualifications
Working towards SVQ 3 in Wood Machining
What do you do day-to-day?
Machining, making doors, window frames, staircases etc. I like being able to see the job through from start to finished product. It's really interesting, and really varied.
What does the future hold?
I know that when I finish my apprenticeship, my qualification will be recognised world wide, so I'd like to travel, probably to Australia first.
Why did you choose this career?
It really appealed to me. I'd enjoyed my craft and design course at school and wanted to work in a workshop environment.
