Rogue Traders is a classic British TV Show aimed at catching out unscrupulous tradesmen, but when the producers of a BBC tv show made a shocking decision, Roger knew it was time to leave. Roger Bisby @SkillBuilder left school without qualifications but pursued a plumbing apprenticeship. Taking a break during the "summer of love" with little money, he resumed plumbing upon his return. Roger transitioned into writing for DIY magazines and later ventured into radio and TV, including LBC radio and the BBC. Unhappy with how tradesmen were portrayed on rogue trader shows, he left and started a successful YouTube channel with a substantial following. Dan, on the other hand, has been a carpenter for nearly three decades, starting his carpentry apprenticeship after working with his dad on weekends. Over the years, he worked for various companies and met Roger while advertising his carpenter's square in a magazine. Collaborating, they explored effective marketing strategies for the square. Dan's interest in designing innovative tools for carpenters emerged from these discussions, leading to their joint ventures in the field.
