Home workshops: If they have one, they will build / Women, renters wield tools, too By Leighton Klein, Boston Globe People who work with their hands at home, with or without a shop, fall into a half-dozen or so overlapping categories. Carpenters can make anything from a set of kitchen cabinets to a house. 'Woodworker' is a more general term, but can apply to those who like carving or making furniture. Do-it- yourselfers are usually found painting and plastering, tiling bathrooms or putting up shelves. Tinkerers do as much of the above as they can between episodes of 'This Old House.' And putterers? The same as tinkerers, but slower.
According to Tim Schreiner, publisher of Fine Woodworking magazine, there are anywhere from 16 million to 20 million woodworkers in the United States. 'That's 'small w' woodworkers,' he adds, meaning anybody who does a little work around the house all the way up to professionals. He adds that women are the fastest-growing segment and estimates that they're around 20 percent of the total.------------------------------------------- posted 10:03 AM :: reference link ::
