In Brazil we call them "marceneiro" (joiner) a person who builds cabinets and work with wood. "carpinteiro" (carpenter) a person who usually builds structures - mostly the ceiling parts. "Pedreiro" (bricklayer) is the main service where the person builds walls, floors and usually uses bricks and cement, where a 'construtor'(constructor) is the contracted person who builds he entire house with his employees or 3rd parties. There's also the 'serralheiro' who is a person who generally works with metal structures and welding.

@Hedriks 3 года назад

in that sentence, I see a Carpenter (Joiner/fitter), a Brickie, a Builder, an Engineer, a Concreter.

There's a funny term for the small repair guy. In Brazil some places we call them "marido de aluguel" (husband for rent). The small things are generally the house circuit breaker, shower, outlets, kitchen plumbing, faucet, lights, caulking and painting bathroom, etc.

Hey Scott, in Germany it's even more complicated then in New Zealand or the UK. For most jobs we have different people doing them. Since we use lot of Concrete and Stones in our Houses, we have a job called Maurer (directly translated: waller) then you have plumber, electrician and all this things you guys know. But then the wood work. There is a Bautischler (directly translated: construction carpenter), who is specified in high quality doors and windows. Our normal door are pretty much pre build btw. We buy the door frame, which already contains a special two piece hinge. Then the door has got the second piece of the hinge. And then we have normal Tischler (normal carpenter), who are specified in building just furniture. And then there is a Zimmerer (directly translated: Roomer), who isn't specified in rooms ;). These guys make the roof construction. It then there is another guy, who closes the roof with normal metal panels, some sort of bitume thing or smaller shingles. Just to name some construction jobs ;) Ahh and sorry for my German English. I hope everything is understandable Cheers Alex

The way I’ve always seen it is that the builder is the one with the cert 4 and usually in charge of the job site and the carpenter/chippy is the one with the cert 3 generally the contractor or works for the builder (Australia)

@thomasDLC 3 года назад

Yes agreed and you don't necessarily have to be a chippy to be a builder but it helps

@verceti2395 2 года назад

cert 4 isnt a builders licence. you dont even have to be qualified in cert 3 to apply for you cert 4. cert 4 is generally business management. There a 2 types of builders DBU and DBL, U standing for unlimited and L standing for limited. DBL allows you to apply for a builder qualification on specific components of various building projects and is easier to achieve. DBU qualification requires an extensive knowledge of the construction processes from start to finish. this is also why it is more helpful to first be a carpenter before becoming a builder. And im not sure of the exact process for obtaining a DBU but im fairly sure it consists of exams/ courses that can be quite pricey and i believe non refundable if you fail. i also think you are required to sit in front of a panel who will quiz you on various construction processes/ regulations, from the footings to the waterproofing requirements ect.

In the US, a 'builder' is usually a company that develops land to build new construction homes on and contracts out for the individual trades to build the houses. Often the on site superintendent is referred to as the 'builder', who schedules and oversees the work of the various trades but doesn't do any of the work.

@tanethomas 2 года назад

Exactly the same in Australia. A builder manages the build and organises trades such as carpenters with the bonus that we’re allowed to do everything except plumbing and electrical ourselves if we want. Carpenters can’t call themselves builders, it’s an extra qualification with training to observe the national construction code (obvs SBC would meet competencies though). New houses and structural work requires oversight by a builder. I think NZ chippies have always been more extensively trained than Aus though?

@RAGproduction 2 года назад

UK based oak framer here. I make oak structural timber frames (traditional/heritage type construction) - A specialist type of carpenter. A carpenter makes wooden structures: walls, roofs, decking, floors, tree houses, playgrounds, cabins, etc from the ground up. A joiner is someone who makes features which go inside a building: windows, doors, kitchen cabinets, stairs and fits them inside a building, along with floorboards, skirting etc etc. A builder is someone who builds structures. This includes carpenters masons and brick layers. In the UK we have the term 'general builder' - this is usually someone who does a bit of everything or will have a full, multi skilled team. Technically joiners are not builders. But the term is misunderstood and many people who refer to themselves as joiners actually mostly do both carpentry and joinery.

4 rows of benchdogs will help prevent sagging on long end to end cuts. It will be especially helpful with preventing laminate tearing at the end of cuts. If you align your sheet perpendicular with one end of the bench you can easily place the cut in between the two pairs of rows.

Here in Sweden is all workers who work with wood called "Snickare", therefore the name of the Snicker's workwear brand. But we add a prefix to define whih kind of wood worker or snickare: Möbelsnickare (Furniture carpenter) - Build furniture, chairs, coffe tables etc. Maskinsnickare (Machine carpenter) - A joiner - builds stairs, door, windows etc. Byggnadssnickare (Building carpenter) - A framer - builds houses, decks, fences etc. But we have one exception: Timmerman, which means "Timber Man". A Timmerman is specialized in builing and restoring wooden log houses. Wich is almost all 1-3 story houses buildt before year 1900 here in Sweden.

Here in Germany we have "Schreiner" (also called "Tischler" depending on Region) who do cabinets, windows, doors, kitchens, everything from stairs to furniture. Nowadays a lot of "Plattenwerkstoffe" which is a blanket term for plywood, mdf, hdf, particle board etc., but the in the 3 year apprenticeship (that we have for most trade jobs) there is a lot of solid wood jointery and construction too. Companies usually specialize in some aspect of the field. This is where Festool is big. Then we have "Zimmerer" who do roof structures which often still are solid timber on our brick houses here, carports and everything else where timber framing and big structural stuff is involved. This is where Mafell a big brand, the prices you get overseas are insane though. What you can even do with the scoring cut is use a climb cut for an even cleaner edge because then the teeth will press down and not up when cutting, be careful tho.

@lloyddaniels9089 2 года назад

Hi Scott, I continually watch your every episode and love it because of it being similar to Australia. I am a retired builder from North/Western New South Wales Australia. For me to qualify as a builder I was required to be either a carpenter or a bricklayer (trade apprentice). You would then be required to complete a further three years of certificate four. This included an overview study of all sub trades. The reason for this was for you to oversee all other trades on the job whereas a tradesman was not. Hope this sounds similar to what you have any New Zealand.

When I did my apprenticeship, bout 30 years ago, we were trained as carpenters and joiners. I've gone back to the same training centre to teach the course recently and it's still Carpentry and Joinery. The difference over here in Ireland is a carpenter does the site work, 1st fix, roofing, 2nd fix, shuttering etc. The joiner does the workshop stuff such as making the windows and doors and building the stairs and running off architrave and skirting. Some people just stick to either Carpentry or Joinery but I was lucky enough to always keep my hand in all aspects of the trade. I was pouring concrete onsite today, I'll be making iroko panelling in my workshop tomorrow and I've two stairs to make next week. I don't do kitchens or wardrobes anymore but I do enjoy doing built in units occasionally. I should also add that I absolutely fucking love my job. I whistle going to work and I whistle coming home.

@lesterzuidema4452 3 года назад

I used to use dogs to lift the material up but spent to much time tying to line up the cut to miss them or moving them around the bench to support material. Now I use some sacrificial mdf Strips for long rip cuts like Ron does, works a treat. I would recommend some parallel guides for you long cuts and probably a rail square in your case to get accurate cuts. Small gaps in (especially white) cabinets creep in so easily when you are the tiniest bit out.

@Xiph1980 3 года назад

Hi Scott, I call myself Hans. Yeah, I'm not a professional builder or whatever, just have a tool addiction and a dissatisfaction with most products you can buy in the store... 😂🤣 Oh, about that sacrificial top layer on your workbench, what I do is use a slightly thinner board of ply or osb, maybe 12 or 15mm, and then generously cover it all over with the cheapest crappiest thinnest double-sided carpet tape. It doesn't really stick well, but that's good, because then I'll add a layer of 3 or 6mm thin board, maybe ply or pressed hardboard. The amount of tape makes it stick well over the entire surface, but when it's due to change, it's a I minute job of just peeling up one end (hope the tape sticks better to the workbench side) and replace the sacrificial top layer. Obviously don't use hardboard if you're going to use the bench outside in the rain, but inside it works wonders. Thin ply works well for outside. 😊

When Scoring the sheet material (track saw set at 2-3mm), another tip is to run the saw backwards so that the blade cuts the surface in a downwards motion and doesn't chip/splinter/break out the surface out as the saw moves forwards and cuts the surface material in the upwards motion.

Many years ago I was helping a friend (a lawyer) move, and when I picked up his circular saw to pack it he said..."You want that? Take it. It's never worked right.

@darrenpaulgreen 3 года назад

Hi Scott, it’s a confusing world of terminology! I live in Yorkshire and although I’d describe myself as a carpenter (and cabinet maker but let’s not confuse things!), locally I’d be called a joiner. However in the south of England I’d be a carpenter or Chippy. Technically a Joiner is someone who works in a workshop making items, whereas a carpenter is site based and installs these items. That said, I don’t turn down work from someone who uses the wrong term for me. And I’ve owned the Makita plunge saw for a good couple of years and didn’t know it had a score cut option, guess I should try reading the manuals 🤣. Hope you guys are safe and healthy…..

@simonablett8613 3 года назад

I always thought a joiner was someone who ‘joined wood’, whilst a carpenter had more specialist skills like turning, or creating fancy details, and a chippy was basically a joiner. The inference being that a joiner was by necessity more focused on quantity (floors, frames, ceilings etc.) whilst a carpenter was perhaps more detail focussed and hence lower volume. Both very skilled jobs, two ends of the same stick.

@robb6120 3 года назад

Hi Darren, I'm a time-served (indentured apprentice) carpenter from the south of England. Now an NZ Citizen though 😊. I agree with your description. I qualified as a Carpenter & Joiner as I spent time and training on site and in a joinery workshop. However, as the majority of my time was on site I'd call myself a Carpenter not a Carpenter and Joiner. My understanding is Joiner makes the joinery in a workshop and carpenter fits it on site but also does structural and finishing work around the building (mostly timber or sheet material related works).

@saml5154 2 года назад

I’m also from the UK and I’d always thought that carpentry was more to do with structural wood such as roofs, joists, etc and joinery was more finish work such as skirtings, doors and architraves 😀

@DamnedDamnedDamned1 2 года назад

As a general rule... a carpenter covers ‘first fix’ work while a joiner covers second fix but as you say, most carpenters and joiners can and will cover both aspects. You can usually tell them apart by their chisels funnily enough.. carpenters usually have 2 or 3 steel capped chisels for hogging through the bulk of material while joiners usually use chisels for finer work

I'm 26 year old carpenter from Australia, did the usual kinda work in oz doing my apprenticeship then moved to Edinburgh aswell for a year and a half and that was a spin out with how they build houses over there and how out of plumb every old flat is learnt a lot there and as a 'scottish joiner' you also fit kitchens (that was really good to learn) in Australia never did that because we have cabinet makers that do, but now I live and work in denmark now and here carpenters (tømrer is carpenter and snakker is cabinet maker) they actually build the whole roof from trusses to putting the roof tiles on. I'm doing a natural slat roof in a month very excited. Every country is so different to work in I love it

Scott, you could talk about making a cup of coffee and I would watch……Oh, you did that already. Never mind. Keep it up, your videos just keep getting better.

In Western Canada, I’m a General Contractor, as I own a contracting company. But I refer to myself as a Carpenter, or more specifically a Red Seal Carpenter, as I’ve been ticketed since 2010. 10 years of building custom homes, but now I build mostly decks/fences in the summer and transition to interior Reno’s, kitchens and built in units in the winter.

Generally in the UK a joiner will work in a shop joining wood (mortice & tenons, dominoes etc) making doors windows and the like, whereas a carpenter usually works on site, great channel thanks

Hi im Corey from Québec Canada here we call are self Un Gars de rough ( a man specializing in rough framing of houses ) . Love your videos keep on the good job .

@jamestyler8477 2 года назад

I'm from England and here if you're on site you're a carpenter/chippy. If you work in the workshop you're a bench joiner/joiner. Also laminated MDF/Ply is more like 19mm here. Enjoy your videos, you use your circular saw so much more than me, so good to see the techniques you use. (I don't build a lot on site, it's all made in the workshop, where we have a table saw with a scoring blade...no breakout)

From Ireland 🇮🇪 I work as an engineer but I love your videos I’ve worked on (building) sites since I was 16 I’ve heard the following been used Roofers : qualified carpenters but as the name suggests they mainly work on roofs putting in joists etc and slates or tiles Chippies & Carpenters general woodwork on sites 1st and 2nd fix including doors skirting and stairs Joiners / cabinet makers : mainly fine furniture work and kitchens So a real hodgepodge of names

@nealmcmillan5675 3 года назад

Started out designing and building furniture and doors,switched to designing and remodeling homes. Mainly wood but also use concrete and metals. I've always liked the term Artisan. Maybe it will catch on.

@rodiona8781 3 года назад

Although I agree, I feel artisan applies to a master in the craft that does niche work that is artistic and aesthetic. I wouldn't consider my handyman an artisan even though he works with wood, metal and concrete

Hi Scott i live in Finland and we would call you Puuseppä (woodsmith) or Kirvesmies (AxMan). Puuseppä is more like cabinet maker or similar what you did in Scotland. Kirvesmies is more what you do on your channel usually. Keep up the good work.

Hi Scott, longtime viewer / subscriber, but-st time commentor. I live in England, so here builders are usually bricklayers and roofers all in one. The 3 terms you used, carpenter / joiner / cabinet or furniture maker - are used here mainly. Carpenters do any framing, external ie timber frame building, also door frames / hanging, skirting etc. Joiners usually work in a shop and make window frames, kitchens, etc, these are then fitted by a carpenter or builder, just to confuse. Cabinet makers (US) and furniture maker as names suggests, make the fine furniture, dining tables, chairs, any free standing cabinets such as amoires, etc. That's the way it was explained to me. I do timber framed garden rooms, so much like you foundations to roofing, window fitting. I just say I am a builder, it often saves a lot of explanation.

I install cabinets for a living, and that rain situation is all too familiar. Apartments are the worst, but we always just pray and hope for a driveway and a garage we can work out of.

@martinlatham2023 3 года назад

Hi Scott, i have the same problem with the top of the benches getting chewed up from skill saws, rail saws etc. I put a layer of 6mm mdf on the top so that when it gets bad you only replace the 6mm and not the whole top. Just a thought. Love the videos, keep the coming.

Hi Martin Good idea, just beware MDF dust isn't good for your lungs. Plywood might be safer???? I think??? 🤓

@nicolasroelandt3586 2 года назад

Hi Scott, Here in France a "maçon" is a builder but mostly concrete and bricks. A "charpentier" is mostly working on roof structures. We have "menuisiers" (joiners) for windows, doors and stairs. We have "ébéniste" for furniture but it is often "menuisier-ébéniste" combo. Lately, there is "agenceur" who are specialist in kitchen, dressing and cabinets stuff. Good luck with level 4, here the situation is not as good and I wished my government as the courage of yours. Stay strong

@heriothandyman3148 3 года назад

Best joiner I met sold a “shop fitting” business in Edinburgh. He used to nip back in sometimes and come back with all these amazing pieces of oak, all beautifully spray lacquered. To this day I don’t know what sort of business it was.

@Sam-th7vk 3 года назад

starting college in sept and starting joinery thought i would watch some of your vids to see if its the job for me.

Bro I had no idea my makita track saw had that function haha thanks for tip! 👌🏽

@checkavilatility 3 года назад

Hey boss. Just a heads up. When making a scoring cut with the track saw, make sure to run it backwards, in a climb cut. That way the blade is pushing down through the veneer and therefore eliminating the tear-out. Best of luck. Oh, and I consider myself a carpenter here in Richmond, VA, USA.

Chippy is often used here in Sydney, but so is carpenter, builder, contractor, cabinetmaker etc. I like that feature on the Makita for the laminate. I have a Festool at work but have not seen that feature on it. We're currently in wk8 of level 4 lockdown. Not fun.

@michaelnichols7669 3 года назад

In the USA, we have a General Contractors (GC) who oversee's the job and usually subs most if not all of the work out to other tradesmen. Carpenter is a general term, but usually it means someone on site building something. From there it breaks down into specifics, framers, roofers, cabinet makers/installers, trim carpenters etc. Here a woodworker is someone who say builds fine furniture or typically makes things in a workshop out of wood. At least in the part of the country I live in (South East).

@woodworks2123 2 года назад

Joiner in Dundee Scotland. Our course here is an nvq in carpentry and joinery so you learn at college how to build timber walls, fit doors, windows roofs etc but also how to make windows, doors and stairs etc. Most people after that then usually are one or the other. A builder would be someone that oversees a host of trade to complete a hole project.
