Welcome

The word "carpenter" is the English rendering of the Old French word carpentier which is derived from the Latincarpentrius "(maker) of a carriage. In British slang, a carpenter is sometimes referred to as a "chippy".

In the building trades, a joiner is a type of a carpenter that cuts and fits joints in wood without the use of nails, screws or other metal fasteners. A "joiner" usually produces items such as interior and exterior doors, windows, stairs, tables, bookshelves etc.
