    Nah fuck carpentry. You’ll just end up destroying your body to make shit money.

      I mean I was referring to having a shop in your garage so you can build furniture, but you’re not wrong. Construction carpentry is one of the more intense trades I’ve seen.

      This isn’t brick laying or plastering. Carpentry is an easy job on the body.

        If you think carpentry is easy on the body I can tell you’ve never worked for or as a carpenter before.

        In either case carpentry is a massive world. There is a lot more to being a carpenter than making furniture. If that’s all you’re doing as a carpenter than I would argue that you aren’t much of a carpenter and your experience is highly limited.

        To me this is like calling yourself a computer engineer because 2 hours a week you write Visual Basic code in an excel spreadsheet.

        lol what.

        No.

        I work in tech. But (long story) started with a few years of carpentry/joinery. It is not easy on the body, unless you’re just making small boxes or cabinets. And even then, it’s still not really that easy.
