Making is a professional woodworking occupation that involves creating products by cutting, shaping, and assembling wood or other materials. Traditionally, a maker creates custom furniture and other items to meet the specific needs of a client or a particular purpose.

Makers often work on a one-on-one basis with clients to design and build items tailored to their specifications. This can include custom furniture, cabinetry, and other wood products. Many makers also specialize in specific types of woodworking, such as lathe work, carving, or finish carpentry.

To become a maker, one typically requires extensive training and experience in woodworking and related skills. Makers often start as apprentices or assistants to more experienced makers, learning the fundamentals of woodworking and developing their skills over time. Some makers may also choose to pursue formal education or certification programs in woodworking or a related field.

Makers work in a range of settings, from small workshops and studios to larger companies and construction sites. The work of a maker can be both physically demanding and intellectually stimulating, requiring a combination of manual dexterity, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

In recent years, the term "maker" has taken on a broader meaning, encompassing not only traditional woodworking and craft, but also programming, computer technology, and other forms of hands-on creation. However, this article specifically refers to the traditional craft of woodworking, as it has been practiced for centuries.
