Sometimes carpenters have to follow local rules that tell them where they can use certain materials. Most carpenters follow the same basic steps when getting ready for a job. They must layout or design the project. Design includes measuring, marking, and arranging materials. The carpenter then cuts and shapes the material.
Carpenters use different hand and power tools, such as chisels, saws, and drills.
Finally, the carpenter joins the items together with nails, staples, or glue. In this, they use rulers or framing squares to get how accurate their work is. When working with ready-made parts, such as stairs or parts of walls, the carpenter's job is easier. A carpenter may install these parts all at one time. Carpenters may also replace glass, ceiling tiles, and doors.
