Joiner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For "joinery" in North American sense see: Woodworking joints

A joiner is a woodworker who makes and installs architectural woodwork, including things that are called "finish carpentry" and "millwork" in the USA. Joiners fabricate and install building components such as doors, windows, stairs, wooden panelling, mouldings, shop cabinets, kitchen cabinets, and other wooden fittings. The skills of a joiner are somewhat intermediate between a carpenter and a cabinet maker.

The joinery and joiner usage is obsolete in the USA, although the main carpenters' trade union still calls itself the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
