Handmade: Britain’s Best Woodworker 2021 recently wrapped up on Channel 4 – here are the contestants who took part and all the results.
In the brand new show, Mel Giedroyc introduced nine of the country’s most talented craftspeople, as they battled it out to be crowned Britain’s Best Woodworker.
Mel Giedroyc rules the workshop which is nestled in ancient woodland in Wales’ Glanusk Estate as, each week, the woodworkers compete against each other with a big build that supersizes the skills they’ve honed at home and a surprise challenge that tests their core skills.
The woodworkers will fight hammer and nail, building wonderful works of wood to impress the judges – award-winning architect Alex de Rijke and queen of furniture-making Helen Welch – to remain in the competition and win the Britain’s Best Woodworker trophy.

Handmade: Britain’s Best Woodworker spoilers
Mel Giedroyc hosted the ambitious and awe-inspiring final of the competition to find Britain’s best woodworker on Thursday. She welcomed the three finalists back to the workshop nestled in ancient woodland on Wales’ Glanusk Estat where they made their biggest build yet – towering garden buildings – in a bid to impress judges Alex and Helen.
With just two days to build huge creations that would take professionals weeks to make, the woodworkers had to give the final build everything they’ve got. But only one competitor could win, and it was up to the judges to decide who is Britain’s best woodworker
Handmade: Britain’s Best Woodworker aired at 8PM on Thursday nights on Channel 4 and All 4.
