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
labor and work outdoors, particularly in rough carpentry.
A rough carpenter is one who does rough carpentry; that is, framing,
formwork, roofing, and other structural or other large-scale work that
need not be finely joined or polished in appearance.
A joister is a carpenter that puts in the floor joists. Floor joists are
the horizontal boards connected to the frame of a structure at the level
just below the floor. They give the floor strength for holding weight.
Also they give a position to fasten the floor to. Joisters also put on the
joists for the decks of a building. Joisters need good balance to install
the beams and joists on buildings considering the elevation involved.

A finish carpenter (North America) or joiner (traditional name now
obsolete in North America) 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.
A trim carpenter specializes in molding and trim, such as door and
window casings, mantles, baseboard, and other types of ornamental
work. Cabinet installers are also referred to as trim carpenters.
A cabinetmaker is a carpenter who does fine and detailed work,
specializing in the making of cabinets, wardrobes, dressers, storage
chests, and other furniture designed for storage.
A ship's carpenter specializes in shipbuilding, maintenance, and
repair techniques (see also shipwright) and carpentry specific to
nautical needs; usually the term refers to a carpenter who has a post
on a specific ship. Steel warships as well as wooden ones need ship's
carpenters, especially for making emergency repairs in the case of
battle or storm damage.
A carpenter in film-making, TV, and the theater builds and dismantles
temporary structures and sets for the production of these
entertainments.
A framer builds the skeletal structure or framework of buildings.
Techniques include platform framing, balloon framing, or timber
framing (which may be post-and-beam or mortise-and-tenon framing).
A roofer specializes in roof construction, concentrating on rafters,
beams, and trusses. Naturally, a roofer must not be scared of heights
and have good balance as well as carpentry skills. In Australia this
type of carpenter is called a roof carpenter and in that country a
roofer is someone who puts on the roof cladding (shingles, tiles, tin,
etc.).
A formwork carpenter creates the shuttering and false work used in
concrete construction. |
