[edit] Finish Carpenter
In the United States, a finish carpenter is generally one who puts the finishing carpentry touches on a building, such as hanging and fitting doors, base and chair moldings, etc. In contrast, a carpenter who builds cabinets is a cabinetmaker. This is true, but more often than not they are the same people. Ghettogirlie92 14:14, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Move the article
This article should be moved to carpentry. We don't keep linguistics under linguist and this is no different. The difference between the profession and the discipline is one that should be made only in a dictionary. In an encyclopedia the information is always found under the discipline.

- I agree with this ancient and unfollowed-up proposal. I think it helps clarify the purpose of the article as well. However, it might require significant editing (I dunno, haven't read the article fully yet). Will put up a move tag to promote discussion.

[edit] Roofer
Where I come from, a roofer is someone who puts the roof cladding on (the tiles, tin, etc.), not the person who puts the roof framing up. This latter is the roof carpenter. Sam Wilson 23:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)There is a big difference, but at hte same time there is not a huge difference. The roof carpenter puts up the framing and the roofer puts the shingles up. they both are carpenters in one way or another.
[edit] Requested move
Carpenter → Carpentry — A carpenter is a person who performs carpentry. This article does not focus mainly on the people doing the job, it focuses on the job they do. Therefore, why is it under Carpenter, adding the extra, unnecessary level of the professional to the profession? We should just be talking about the art itself, with perhaps a subsection devoted to carpenters specifically. Erk|Talk -- I like traffic lights -- 08:23, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
