Hi Reinhard,
The answer is it depends on the kind of carpentry work that you are going to do. Are you going to offer carpentry as a service or is your goal to create products that will be sold? When I initially think of carpenters, it is in the making of items like completed pieces furniture. This is sometimes a self-employed vocation where you are the business owner and make the product to specifications of the customer. Other types of carpenters are asked to make augmentations to different physical spaces. With this type of work, you may be hired in to a greater project by designers to do specific work. You may also need to work with other specialists like electricians. Teamwork here is about communication and expectation setting. Make sure that you are very clear about your part in a team effort and ask all questions until you are sure. Carpentry has you handling dangerous tools. A focus on safety is critical.
