Bodging

Bodging

Bodging is the traditional craft of creating chair legs and braces. A chair-bodger works with green-wood using portable tools including a pole-lathe to turn chair legs and such.

In British English slang, bodging can also refer to an inexpertly, roughly done job, typically in the field of DIY. The term is usually used to imply that the "bodged" solution is, although fit for purpose, very inelegant and poorly implemented.
