Carpentry is one of the oldest construction trades and is in high demand. Carpenters use natural materials (wood/timber) to install wooden fixtures and fittings. As a carpenter you could be installing doors, floors and furniture in new builds, renovating or refitting existing structures, building sets for film and theatre companies and much more.
As a carpenter you will be involved in the design, cutting, and building of furniture using different types of wood. You could be working on site, in clients homes, or in a workshop.
Carpenters make parts of buildings, such as staircases, door frames, and rafters. Their work may also include installing kitchen cabinets, countertops, molding, and trim. Carpenters use many hand tools such as saws, hammers, pliers, planes to smooth wood, and levels to tell if lines are straight.
