A carpenter is a skilled tradesperson who constructs, installs, and repairs structures made from wood and other materials. They use hand tools such as saws, chisels, planes, drills, hammers and sanders to cut and shape the material. Carpenters also install hardware such as doors and windows in new constructions or renovations. They may also build custom furniture pieces or create art using woodworking techniques. In addition to working with their hands, carpenters must have an understanding of mathematics in order to properly measure angles and calculate dimensions for projects.
