        If you think carpentry is easy on the body I can tell you’ve never worked for or as a carpenter before.

        In either case carpentry is a massive world. There is a lot more to being a carpenter than making furniture. If that’s all you’re doing as a carpenter than I would argue that you aren’t much of a carpenter and your experience is highly limited.

        To me this is like calling yourself a computer engineer because 2 hours a week you write Visual Basic code in an excel spreadsheet.

        What is so bad with plastering? I would have thought that one isn’t too bad.

        It can be easy on the body provided one has cash to get and wear safety gear. Too many people depend on a cheap employer for their safety.

        Buy good gear. Use jigs. Protect hearing.

        US defaultism strikes again, is this carpentry as in building houses or carpentry as in building furniture?
