Carpenter A carpenter is a skilled craftsman who performs carpentry - a wide range of woodworking that includes constructing buildings, furniture, and other objects out of wood. The work generally involves significant manual labour and work outdoors, particularly in rough carpentry. Since all of carpentry's required knowledge is gained through experience, the trade can be relatively easy to enter (this varies with the legal requirements from country to country). It is possible through dedication to have a prosperous career in carpentry. High incomes can come from those dedicated to carpentry. In British and Australian slang a carpenter is sometimes referred to as a "chippie". A finish carpenter or joiner is one who does finish carpentry; that is, cabinetry, furniture making, fine woodworking, model building, instrument making, parquetry joinery, or other carpentry where exact joints and minimal margins of error are important. Some large-scale construction may be of an exactitude and artistry that it is classed as finish carpentry. |
