Was Jesus ever a real carpenter?

[tekton]

Heb 11:10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

Heb 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Heb 3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
Heb 3:3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honor than the house.
Heb 3:4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is God.

1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

One things for sure He sure enjoys building stuff :)

[Joel]

A "carpenter" is an artificer in stone, iron, and copper, as well as in wood.

It was said of our Lord, "Is not this the carpenter's son?" (Matt. 13:55); also, "Is not this the carpenter?" (Mark 6:3).

It's fitting the man that worked with iron and wood all his life would be executed by these same instruments (iron nails, wooden cross).

Every Jew, even the rabbis, learned some handicraft: for example Paul was a tentmaker. <><Perhaps for the feast of Tabernacles, especially?

I'm sure that, at the very least, he could've been. Heck. He could've been a concert violinist he had wanted to.
