Can you explain the difference between a framer, a carpenter, a cabinet maker, a joiner, a finish carpenter, a timberman, a ring builder, a jerry man, a binder? Some of them might be synonyms, some reflect regional differences (e.g. AE vs. BE)? Does the term "carpenter" imply someone will do structural wood work, like roofs, walls, stairs, ships or is it more generic? Which one is a specialist for fine, precise wood work like furniture? You could probably ask someone specialized in structural work to do finishings, just that the quality will typically not be what you get from someone specialized in interiors or furniture. There is some documentation in the wiki, but there is also overlap in definitions, this is currently on the craft map features page: * a carpenter is defined to make everything: "A workplace or office of carpenters that work with timber to construct, install and maintain buildings, furniture, and other objects.") * cabinetmaker: A person who makes fine wooden furniture * cooper: A person or company that manufacture of containers and vessels mainly made of wood. * joiner: An artisan who builds things by joining pieces of wood, particularly furniture or ornamental work. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:craft btw, just saw that roofer is defined as: "A workplace or office of a tradesman who is specialized in roof construction.", IMHO this should be more specific (if I am not misguided) by pointing out it isn't about the structure but about the cover, right?
