The joiner V chippie debate still rages on, it was fierce when i was at college 22 years ago, we had some shenanagans between the classes with pranks galore going on.
Chippies do all the graft, joiners do the fancy stuff.
Now i have become a general builder, im not the best person for defending chippies, today i used a hacksaw on some skirting as i couldnt find my tenon saw, still looked good though.
All my chisels are proper blunt cos im a lazy git and just throw them in a bucket, i used to keep them razor sharp.
I have neglected a lot of my power tools as well, there will be a problem and instead of fixing it i put somewhere in the garage and forget about it, loads of my tools need attention, like new blades, plugs, brushes etc.
So fair play to joiners they generally work to tighter tolerances and i use a nail gun on everything
