Also called: Marine Interior Woodworker, Yacht Carpenter
Builds the curved cabinets, paneling and furniture inside yachts, where nothing is square and everything must survive waves.
Inside a hull, no wall is flat and no corner is 90 degrees. The joiner makes cardboard patterns of the space, builds teak cabinets and berths in the shop, then fits them perfectly into the boat. They also add latches so drawers stay shut in rough seas.
