The term is not used to describe the quality of Scottish Carpenters (who are craftsmen/women and do great work!)
The term is used to describe the linear rage within the Scottish soul - A progressive reaction to a progressive in-justice that has no real cause - A 'slow-burn' explosion. This is best described through the medium of poetry:
Scottish Carpentry
Owit, Aya, Mammy Daddy!
A hit ma thumb wi' a hammer
An’ that wis fuckin' sore
Christ all-bloody mighty!
Noo a’ve fuckin’ drapped it
It's fell on ma fuckin' toe
Cuntin' fuckin' bastardin' hammer!
The blood's goin' in ma eye
A loast the plot, heedered the nail
Everything must die!!
Aaaaaaah fuckin' hate wid!
I suffer from Scottish Carpentry and now I hate wood! (In this example, 'wood' can be substituted for any other noun or verb.)
Any facet of Home improvements that are painstakingly attempted before dawn. Indictive of a man tweaking whose up all night .Carpentry done with keeping the noise down as a priority because everyone else is sleeping. A tweaker who has a knack for doing carpentry in his home between the hours of 12 am and 7 am , thus resulting in scattered small jobs with at best sub par results.
Since the pandemic the 24 hour hardware store in Manhattan has been closed overnight . What a drag for my beloved Quiet Carpentry.
