Hebrew term

נגרות אומן ונגרות חרש

Hebrew to English Tech/Engineering Engineering (general)
האם מישהו יודע מה ההבדל בין שני המונחים, והאם אתם יכולים להציע תרגום לאנגלית?
אלה שמות של פרקים בחומר שאני מתרגם.
נראה שנגרות אומן כוללת התקנת חלונות ודלתות

באופן דומה יש גם מסגרות אומן ומסגרות חרש

@Chanan "but I can only grant points to one answerer"

Gee, you missed one point on this one!
Daniel Rabinovich (asker) Oct 24, 2014:
From the material I am translating it seems that
נגרות אומן
applies to windows/doors, and
נגרות חרש
to roofs, floors, pergolas - which are indeed structural elements

Furniture versus woodwork?

The first term is obvious (5), the second is a guess (1)

I find it hard to believe that a master carpenter would produce construction-type woodwork. He may be talking about wooden frames vs tables and chairs.

Is this 1 point per term or 2 for the one you used?

Household carpentry and construction carpentry

I'm afraid "household" is not a fancy enough qualifier, and probably should be replaced with "designer," which was suggested earlier.

In the old days these "household" craftsmen were called cabinetmakers. Now they are known as the "artists" who build "furniture" or, as the Italians call it, "interiors."

Really was not trying to be dismissive of carpentry artists. Just tried to highlight terms by putting them between quotes. And am really not sure about the two terms in Hebrew and what they stand for.

Thanks Chanan! your answer was useful, but I can only grant points to one answerer.
Peer comment(s):

agree Vere Barzilai : Maybe artistic carpentery and construction carpentery

neutral Sandra & Kenneth Grossman : Household carpentry is not נגרות אומן. Designer carpentry is not just a fancy name. It means furniture made according to customer specifications, in contrast to mass produced stuff. Think IKEA vs April
