Framer
For the Framers of the US Constitution, see Founding Fathers of the United States.
A framer is someone who frames (shapes or gives shape to, particularly in this case someone who constructs).[1] In building construction a framer is a carpenter who assembles the major structural elements of a wood-framed building called the framing. Framers build walls out of studs, sills, and headers; build floors from joists and beams; and frame roofs using ridge poles and rafters. Timber framers are framers who work in the traditional style of timber framing with wooden joinery.
