A word for a “hand worker” - for native English speakers. In Danish we have a word that literally means “hand worker” and I’m not sure how to translate it into English. It’s used about for instance: house painters, carpenters, electricians, bricklayers, smiths and plumbers. So we are talking about skilled workers who do some sort of construction or production related work. I sometimes lack a word in English for such people. I could of course name the individual professions, but let’s say I know a friend of someone is a “hand worker”, but I forgot whether he is a carpenter or an electrician for instance, then I just say, "he is a “hand worker”". Or someone might complain about “hand workers” and say: “Hand workers” never clean up after themselves” (after they have worked in someone’s home). What would you call people with such professions? Thanks for your help!
