Boston has some of the oldest timber-framed and Victorian architecture in North America. The city is home to the North Bennet Street School, which teaches preservation carpentry and cabinet making. In Portland, carpenters work in mass-timber construction and local shops like the Guild of Oregon Woodworkers.

London has a trade history anchored by the Worshipful Company of Carpenters and the Building Crafts College. Joiners there build custom woodwork for historic townhouses and West End theater sets. In Vancouver and Calgary, apprentices train at technical colleges like BCIT and SAIT to earn their Red Seal endorsement.

Carpenters start around 6:00 AM or 7:00 AM with a safety meeting called a toolbox talk. Rough carpenters do the first fix, framing wall studs, floor joists, and roof trusses with circular saws. Finish carpenters do the second fix, scribing baseboards and hanging doors so every piece sits plumb, level, and square.

In the United States, beginners complete a four-year apprenticeship with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters to reach Journeyman status. In the United Kingdom, trainees earn an NVQ in site carpentry or bench joinery and carry a CSCS card. The work gives tangible results, though heavy lumber, wood dust, and kneeling take a toll on the body.

Shifts start early, so carpenters finish work in the afternoon with daylight left. Everyone in your world has a job, a home, and a routine. Your crewmates, clients, and family remember what you tell them in your chats.

You can start a group text thread with your crew to plan an outing to a pub or park. Happenings appear on the city map, including house parties, karaoke nights, pickup games, and birthday drinks. Your chats and activities can change your cash, your health, and your relationships.

Maya, 26, starts a life in Boston as a preservation carpenter restoring an 1890s townhouse. She sets a life goal to become a lead carpenter and adds a daily task to check lumber deliveries. While prying off rotted oak baseboards in her story, she finds a brass plumb bob from a century ago.

She texts her foreman about the find, and he remembers it when they meet the next morning. On Friday, a coworker invites Maya to a birthday drinks happening near North Bennet Street. They walk there together on the 3D map and talk as a group.

Your morning in Portland begins when you check your calendar and daily to-do list. Your character, Owen, is a cabinetmaker who spent his savings on a wide slab of figured black walnut. You use place search to walk to a workshop near ADX and talk to your nervous apprentice.

In the afternoon, a client texts you on her own to ask about her custom dining table. On a desktop computer, you open Build mode, draw a timber workshop, and place the 3D model in Portland. The day ends with a recap of your moments before tomorrow starts.
