{{see also|Framing (construction)}}
In building construction a framer is a [[carpenter]] who assembles the major structural elements of a wood-framed building called the [[Framing (construction)|framing]]. Framers build walls out of [[Wall stud|studs]], [[sill plate|sill]]s, and [[Post and lintel|headers]]; build floors from [[joist]]s, [[Beam (structure)|beam]]s, and [[truss]]es; and frame roofs using ridge poles and [[rafter]]s or trusses. [[Platform framing]] is the most common method of construction.

In the traditional chair making industry, it was the [[bodger]] who produced the turned parts of a chair and the benchman who produced the [[Splat (furniture)|splats]], side rails and other sawn parts. However it was the framer who assembled and finished the chair with the parts supplied by the bodger and benchman.<ref name=jenk123>{{Cite book|last=Jenkins|first=J.
