Joiners, sometimes called finish carpenters, aren’t typically considered to be carpenters, even though their work is similar.
Joiners, sometimes called finish carpenters, aren’t typically considered to be carpenters, even though their work is similar. Joiners tend to specialise in lighter, more ornamental work than carpenters, including fine woodworking, fittings, doors and windows, and furniture detailing. Joiners usually work in workshops, using non-portable machinery to construct joints and intricate detailing, whereas carpenters are usually found on a construction site, working on larger fittings.
