Hi Leah! I am a 57 year old woman and love your videos. You are my inspiration to my new found hobby of woodworking! Because of your videos, I have taken over my husband’s garage and have been researching and buying tools of all kinds! I built two cornhole boards and caulked my bathroom. I also cancelled most of my KZbin notifications except yours! I don’t want to miss a thing you have to teach me. You make me feel like I CAN do it and so I try! My husband hears me say all the time “ Leah says....”! Thank you so much for explaining things in a simple way I can understand!

When I did my apprenticeship I learnt how to make bespoke oak kitchens, windows, staircases, etc but also had to learn how to pitch a roof, construct a timber building etc. As for pencil lines - when cutting by hand there were three options - leave the line showing, cut half the line or completely take the line out. The joys of learning in the family business!

I remember my dad telling me, many decades ago, that anyone can build a box out of wood. The difference, he said, is in how it's made that distinguishes the craftsman from the woodworker.

I vividly learned the difference years ago when I commissioned a platform bed by a friend's husband. I thought he was a furniture maker, but he was a carpenter. What I got was nailed and glued together. He screwed hinges into plywood end grain! All over the bed, he tried to hide his inaccurate cuts with wood filler which, of course, didn't take stain like the wood did. I learned my lesson, and have tried to make my own work speak for itself.

I'm a carpenter in the US and struggle every now and then with my coworkers, because some are too dirty (too rough), I understand depending on the task or the desirable production levels an 1/8 its not a reason to fight over. When little my dad had to take me to his woodworking lessons, the class allowed me as an spectator. He was terrible at woodworking and I ended up doing his tasks. But a lot got stuck on the back of my head. Even though I'm far from Mastering Carpentry I consider myself a good one. Following the basics and some courtesy (like cleaning your work area and making it safe) will get the job done. I strongly believe that those woodworking classes made it easier for me to learn carpentry and easier for mentors to taught. Now with this Covid-19 going on its the perfect excuse to go back to zero tolerance woodworking stuff. Thank you for the video.

Oh No Ms Leah! Now I have to learn to forget “1/16 inch is close enough for government work” ;). I’ll share two things - one job I had was so the owner could prove that women could weld well. During the interview, I was asked “How many sixteenth’s are in an inch?” It’s amazing how many folks don’t know how to read a rule. The second thing I learned from a class taught by Roy U. He showed us how to take our striking knife and make a vee cut along the marking strike so the saw sits exactly where you want it. If your knife is sharp enough, it takes very little effort, but a wee bit of practice. Thank you for all the work y’all do! For the first time in 4 years, I am actually excited to go see my neurosurgeon this month. IMHO, this is in great part to you and your fantastic videographer! Have a truly blessed year!

When I saw your question in the title, my first response was "precision", which you then proceeded to elaborate on. I consider myself a woodworker but I have done "carpentry projects" for my home, and I knew that I did not have to be precise to a 1/32 of an inch on my carpentry but I better be close to that on my woodworking. Oh, except when it comes to baseboards or crown molding, which I guess is also called "finish carpentry".

I have been a woodworker for over 40 years. There are many degrees of woodworking. I will say this, I have met many real woodworkers and NONE of them used a tape measure over 16'. The only exception being finish carpenters and cabinet installers but even then it's their alternative tape that they use for rare long measurements. If someone walks into my shop and they have a 25 footer with them, they are either a carpenter or a hack.

It is funny how language effect how people think about things. In Swedish we have "snickare", who is the jack of all trades when it comes to woodworking with dry wood. Some people are "only" byggnadssnickare (specialist at using wood in exteriors or interiors (like door fittings and walls) of houses), or grovsnickare (who do very rough woodworking, like scaffolding or concrete molds) and on the other end of the spectrum, we have finsnickare (who do things like jewelery boxes and other precision woodworking) and möbelsnickare (who make furniture). There's a lot of other kinds of "***snickare". What we don't have is any words that exactly match "carpenter" and "woodworker" in English. The Swedish word träarbetare literary translate to woodworker, but is an umbrella term for a person that do any kind of work with wood. The Swedish word timmerman (litterary: timberman) is sometimes (correctly) used as a translation of carpenter, if the carpenter in question do scaffolding or rough frameworks of houses. But timmerman also have an older, but still often used, meaning of someone who build structures out of timber, often timber that hasn't dried, often with an ax as the primary tool. (From how the word sounds, I'm guessing the English word carpenter originally meant someone who made carriers (carpentrius in Latin), but I've never heard it used like that in English). We also have an even larger Swedish vocabulary for people that do different kind of thing from raw (fresh) wood, as they don't count as snickare, snickare only work with dry wood. E.g. someone who do Windsor chairs out of fresh wood is a pinnstolmakare, but someone who make the same kind of chair out of dried wood is a pinnstolsnickare. Making things directly from fresh wood used to be much more common in Sweden than making things from dried wood, and you really have to think and do things very different when working in fresh wood than in dry wood.

I think your explanation of the difference between a carpenter and a woodworker is interesting and I agree with your point that some tasks require more precision than others. There is a big difference in carpentry skills between the guy who puts up stud walls and the guy who hangs a door. (maybe they don't do that any longer and buy prehung doors.) Likewise I think there is a pecking order between furniture makers and cabinet makers. So I think the point you are making is important but not sure I would categorize it the way you did. Also besides the tools and skill needed I think its worth mentioning the quality of the wood being used. I think a lot of beginners,, me being one, try using low quality wood and get frustrated that no matter how precise the work is done it doesn't look good. Final thought: besides the wood the effort expended to finish a project is significantly different too. So after all of this I wanted to end this by saying how much I enjoy your videos and how straight forward and entertaining they are. I look forward to getting a notice that a new one is available. more highly skilled

As an Englishman trained as a furniture maker, or as I always called it, a cabinetmaker, I was taught that a carpenter used nails, while cabinetmaker was never allowed to. Mind you in those far off day screws were mostly used for hinges and little else.

This video kept popping up, so i watched it. Thank you Leah this was a very education learning point for me and I never knew the difference. I really like the 1/8 of an inch analogy. I got a feeling I’m going to be hooked on your channel now. Well worth a subscribe. Ty. Ben
