Back before machines, folks did things for themselves. Bodgers did things to a workable standard, leaving elegance and pretense to others.
English turners took the title of bodgers, and use it proudly, as any search on the term itself or especially Robin Wood
http://www.robin-wood.co.uk/ will show. Bunch of guys who went TO the woods (High Wycombe) to make chair parts by the bundle, for resale to chair makers. They didn't normally finish the chairs themselves. Beech and sycamore, which is what they called their maple, made the legs and uprights, with ash popular for spindles. They went to the woods with tools, built the lathes and horses there, and camped out while the weather was good and the timber fresh.
