CARPENTERS                                           

 

 

Carpenters today are many things, from builders of small residential homes, to fabricators of the most complex industrial settings. The conditions they work in are as varied as the skill levels they possess. They weld metals, mold plastics, saw woods, form concrete, build scaffolds, layout the tallest buildings and put the final key in the door. Their tools are hammers, saws, lasers, digital and electronic devices and organizational skills.
