Carpentry is a craft of making or creating items made of wood. The primary work of this craft is the cutting, shaping, and installation of building materials for constructing something creative. Be it creating your own furniture, or a boat, this hobby is all fun. Carpenters originally used to work with natural wood for mainly framing also called timber framing, However, these days there are many new additions to this process making it easier and more perfect. There are special classes for carpentry these days for skilling this hobby. For more skilled carpenters, normally undertake 4 years of apprenticeship training and qualify by successfully completing the country's competence test. This is common in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Australia, and South Africa. This skill can also be learned with practical work experiences.
