The choice of a FEMALE carpenter’s scant attire in the workshop has set hearts racing.
More than 17,000 people follow the influencer on YouTube, who goes by the handle HardWoodBunny, where she shares videos of her typical day working at a chippy.
One said: “You are a great attention to detail craftsman!!”
Another wrote: “She can be my woodshop teacher any day.”
A third described her as the “goddess of wood”.
A fourth commented: “Always good to see a pro knowing what to do.”
Others, however, emphasised the significant health and safety hazards of donning scanty attire when using heavy equipment.
One person commented: “This is the exact opposite of safety standards…”
Another wrote: “No safety glasses, no hard wearing clothes, loose hair and dangling jewellery.
“That’s just an accident waiting to happen.”
A third said: “I’m slightly concerned about health and safety protocols!! Please use ear and eye protection.”
But the carpenter hit back at trolls who said she “return to modelling”.
“I literally have a full time woodworking business,” she replied.
She added: “I own Stain and Ink and have built everything on there.”
With a rocking sense of humour, another female carpenter is responding to antiquated notions about how women should behave at work.
Innovating as a carpenter, Jess Bessell shares her life and work on her TikTok platform.
Jess enjoys her job but is less enthusiastic about the dated questions she has answer at work.
She doesn’t back down from a challenge; in her TikTok posts, she does so in good humour.
She captioned her latest video with: “Some of the questions I get asked.”
First up is: “What made you get into this then luv?”
Followed by the all-time classic: “Do you have a boyfriend?”
And finally, another banger: “Does your boyfriend mind you working with all those men?”
