A "Bodger" is a term used to describe a craftsman who specializes in making wooden objects, particularly using a lathe. Traditionally, bodgers worked in the forests of England, where they would create items like chair legs and spindles from green wood. This craft was often done outdoors, allowing the wood to be shaped while it was still fresh and pliable. The term can also refer to someone who performs a task in a makeshift or haphazard manner, often resulting in poor quality work. This usage is common in various contexts, including DIY projects and repairs, where a bodger might use subpar materials or techniques to achieve a quick fix.
