Carpintero en su taller enseña los distintos objetos y herramientas habituales en su trabajo.

Hello, my name's David. I'm a carpenter and I work mostly with wood. This is a saw and it's used for cutting wood. Here is a piece of wood. I put it in the vice, which holds it nice and firm, and then we cut the wood with the saw. And then, to make the wood smooth, we use this, which is a plane. It's got a blade underneath, which is sharp, for making the wood smooth. These are the wood shavings. And then, we have the hammer for putting in nails. Putting now a nail... that's the hammer. When we have screws, this is a screwdriver for putting in screws, tightened into the wood.

And here we have a piece of metal. We use a different saw. This is for wood, and this one is for metal. And I cut the metal. This is some of the pots of paints for painting the wood. And this is the stain, wood stain for colouring different colours wood. And these are silicone, different colours of silicones that I use. And here we have some spray, paint, it's still paint but it's in a can to spray it. And larger pots of paints, and then here's some bags of cement at the bottom for doing tiling and laying concrete floors.
