For carpenters, there are big differences in meaning, depending on the context:

'Carpenters' signify truths in extremes, the same as 'iron.'

In Genesis 4:22, this signifies one who is wise, intelligent, and knowing, here in natural good and truth. (Arcana Coelestia 424)

In Isaiah 40:19, this signifies one who shapes a falsity from self-intelligence and makes it appear to be a truth. (Arcana Coelestia 10406[4])

In Isaiah 41:7, this signifies people who are in self-intelligence. (The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms 41)

In Isaiah 44:13, this signifies the religion that is from self-intelligence. (Arcana Coelestia 8941[8])

In Matthew 13:55, this signifies the good of life from the doctrine of truth. (Athanasian Creed 98)

(Odkazy: Apocalypse Explained 310; Zechariah 1:20)

98. The Lord lived in so humble a way as to be scarcely distinguished from an ordinary man, and not in splendour as God. This was lest the Jews should, from externals and not from internals, acknowledge Him as the Messiah. For the same reason He was unwilling to give them signs from heaven. For if they had acknowledged Him from externals and had not seen afterwards that this was exalting themselves as lords of the earth, they would have fallen back and become profaners. So He did not wish to give them a sign as may be seen. That He possessed all things may be manifest from this - that He fed the five thousand, then the four thousand, also that He provided them with wine at Cana and that He was able to pay the tribute money from a fish. But that He wished to seem poor was for the reason already stated.
