Overview

Even movie star Harrison Ford finds it satisfying to work with his hands. Once a carpenter, he still enjoys carpentry as a hobby.

If you’re thinking of carpentry as a livelihood, consider studying it in school. You’ll spend long hours working with tools, cutting and shaping wood to create everything from framing to molding. You’ll also learn to read blueprints, choose materials, and do finish work.
