Carpenter

I usually work timber but also other materials such as aluminium, P.V.C. 

I produce all sorts of timber elements, doors, windows, etc., which I fit on private or business premises, in offices, workshops, etc. 

I may have to repair or restore old pieces of  timber originating from churches, castles, etc. 

During my activity I may have to saw out timber, cut, polish, screw, assemble, glue, etc. 

I use a variety of machines as well as numerous tools that assist me in my work.
