Carpenter Nathan Gilbert takes us through his journey from child to carpenter to cast member on the Ask This Old House team. Nathan explains who his biggest influences were, and how he first gained experience in the trade. As a proud military veteran, Nathan explains his call to duty, how he spent his time in the US Navy, and the doors that experience opened for him. Nathan got his start in carpentry at a very young age. His father was (and still is) a general contractor, and Nathan enjoyed going to work with him as a child. During summer vacation from school, Nathan would accompany his father on his projects and developed a love for the trade. Nathan’s father wasn’t his only influence. Both his father and grandfather were “SeaBees” in the US Navy, which means they were assigned to the branch’s Construction Battalion unit. Nathan followed in their footsteps, joining the US Navy in 2009. Through the Navy, Nathan learned more skills and was able to take his talents on deployments to countries all over
