Carpentry

Carpentry is a profession that dates back thousands of years and has many different specialties including framing, finish carpentry and trim carpentry. Most people have a general understanding of what carpenters do, but let’s get into some specifics. A carpenter works with wood and other materials to construct, install, and maintain buildings and other objects like cabinets or furniture. They can work on residential (homes, apartments, etc.), commercial (hotels, offices, etc.), and industrial (bridges, power plants, etc.) projects.

Carpenters commonly use tape measures and hand tools, including squares, levels, hammers, and chisels, as well as many power tools, such as sanders, circular saws, nail guns, and welding machines.
