With apologies to all of the brilliant linguists out there who may never need such aids as dictionaries, here is a list of words in common use in the woodworking, building and DIY 'trades' that may be helpful when you're out renovating your holiday home in the Dordogne, Ardennes or the Haut-Fagnes (or Quebec, I presume). Most of this I gleaned whilst living in Belgium and having to communicate with the locals whilst carrying on my wood-based hobbies.
If you happen to know better, then I'd be pleased to receive corrections from you. Just send your contributions by e-mail to the usual address. Thanks.
Finally, a warning: I designed this page to list and print as two columns, with matched words. If your browser or printer setup alters this then correspondence between the columns may not be maintained.
