Carpenter:

an artificer in stone, iron, and copper, as well as in wood (2Sa 5:11; 1Ch 14:1; Mar 6:3). The tools used by carpenters are mentioned in 1Sa 13:19, 20; Jdg 4:21; Isa 10:15; 44:13. It was said of our Lord, "Is not this the carpenter's son?" (Mat 13:55); also, "Is not this the carpenter?" (Mar 6:3). Every Jew, even the rabbis, learned some handicraft: Paul was a tentmaker. "In the cities the carpenters would be Greeks, and skilled workmen; the carpenter of a provincial village could only have held a very humble position, and secured a very moderate competence."
