And “carpenter” is not really accurate. “Builder” is more like it. Joseph, and Jesus, very likely built more houses than furniture.

That's right. Joseph was a self employed business man. Who had a trade that was high in demand.

IIRC, the word is TEKTON, usually translated “carpenter,” but more accurately “builder” or even “building contractor.”
