A carpenter is the craft person who is tasked with handling and attaching materials to the building structure. The framing, installing the doors and trim, floors and wall coverings etc.

 

A joiner builds or crafts the wooden materials that the carpenters install. Build windows, make trim moldings, build cabinets and door bucks etc
