No, but I would love to.
Wouldn't that be great?
Of course, I probably couldn't afford the insurance.
Jesus, according to the New Testament was called a 'Tekkon', which actually means a great deal more than our word 'Carpenter'.
A tekkon might do anything from making tools to building houses. If you look at the parables, you'll see there are clues there to what Jesus actually did. About four miles from Nazareth there was a big city called 'Skythopolis' that was burned down in a battle when Jesus was a very young child. It's a good bet that He grew up helping His father Joseph rebuild Skythopolis, in other words, building houses.
What's exciting to me though is that tekkon also means 'wood worker' in the sense of carving or building furniture. Now, in Arabic Culture today furniture makers also often make Musical Instruments. And there is an instrument called the 'Oud' (the ancestor of the European Lute) which is an instrument that I play that goes back to the time of Jesus (or nearly so in the historical documents). So there's a chance at least that Jesus actually made Ouds.
Wow!
Now that's something I'd like to have.
Guess I'll keep dreaming.

Hey Roman Historians: did you know Hannibal of Carthage was made up? Doesn't anyone else think its a little weird that's there no other Historical records of Hannibal of Carthage except for the all of the documents collected together in The Big Book of Hannibal? No one has the slightest physical evidence to support a historical Hannibal of Carthage; no artifacts, dwelling, works of carpentry, or self-written manuscripts. All claims about Hannibal of Carthage derive from writings of other people. There occurs no contemporary Carthaginian record that shows anyone executing a man named Hannibal. Devastating to historians, there occurs not a single contemporary writing that mentions Hannibal. All documents about Hannibal came well after the life of the alleged Hannibal from either: unknown authors, people who had never met an earthly Hannibal, or from fraudulent, mythical or allegorical writings. Although one can argue that many of these writings come from fraud or interpolations, I will use the information and dates to show that even if these sources did not come from interpolations, they could still not serve as reliable evidence for a historical Hannibal, simply because all sources about Hannibal derive from hearsay accounts. Hey Asian Historians: did you know Attila the Hun was made up? (etc. ad nauseum)

Answer 5

Well, doesn't the Vatican still sell certified slivers of the one true cross Jesus died on?

And if one were to weigh all the pieces sold so far it would be more than 10,000 pounds of wood?

At one time in the Rome area, there were three different Churches all of which claimed they had the one true certified head of John the Baptist?

There's no business like show business...oops...the non-profit business of faiths-based religions?

Today the major choices for capital punishment are firing squad, hanging, and chemical injection. 2,000 years ago it was a Roman invention called crucifixion. Jesus changed that instrument of cruel death - a wooden cross by spiritually carving it into the most recognized symbol in the world. It is no longer perceived as a tool of capital punishment but rather a message of hope and love. As for tables and chairs when one recognizes the carpenters spirituality (as his followers did) They have no need for physical evidence.

Answer 7

I doubt any wooden furniture would last any signifgant amount of time especially considering they didn't have protective wood stains back then.Can you thhik of anybodies wood work from antiquity that lasted any amount of time?

Answer 8

He would hang out with his friends, and just before Joseph would return from a trip, 'poof' chairs and tables would appear in the workshop.

Joseph thought he was the cleanest carpenter ever, because there was no sawdust.

Answer 9

No, but I've got a rusty old saw that dates back a few thousand years.

Answer 10

He probably built things for other people and if people of that time are like people of today I would say the items he built early on had little significance. How many repairmen have been in your house? How many of them do you remember the names of?

Answer 11

No they would have quickly became idols just because Jesus hands touched them...you see what happened to the spear of destiny that thing has caused Wars
