English has craftsman vs tradesman butcher, baker are tradesmen and the furniture maker is either a tradesman or a craftsman the weaver is a craftsman (please note, none are restricted in sex to male, even though they are all *man*) so a craftsman would be doing something with raw materials to produce something useful, a permanent object, and with some sense of beauty in its form. the butcher and baker are working with raw materials, producing something temporary and not required to have beauty in its form the furniture maker is a tradesman when producing rough work and a craftsman when producing more beautiful items _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
