- Carpenters (also known as The Tan Album) is the third and eponymous album by The Carpenters. Released in 1971, Carpenters contained three hit singles: "For All We Know", "Rainy Days and Mondays", and "Superstar". The album also solidified Karen Carpenter's reputation as one of the most accomplished female vocalists of the 20th century. Because the airing of Make Your Own Kind of Music coincided with the release and popularity of this album, the Carpenters performed many of their songs from Carpenters on the TV series.
- They are incapable of allowing humans to come to harm, as they obey Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. Six types of Carpenters are known to exist. The first three types are cosmetically (but perhaps not internally) identical to the three Pliers robots; the latter three are new designs, called Welding Worker (or Gensan), Flying Adhesive, and Senju-Kannon.
- Carpenters build many things like buildings and boats from wood and other materials. They construct, erect, install, and repair structures and other fixtures. To do this, they cut, fit, and join the various materials together. Carpenters who work for a special construction contractor do only one or two things, like forming molds for concrete or building a frame. A carpenter may also work for a general building contractor. This carpenter performs many tasks, including putting in doors and windows, hanging kitchen cabinets, and installing ceilings. Sometimes carpenters have to follow local rules that tell them where they can use certain materials. Most carpenters follow the same basic steps when getting ready for a job.

They became phenomenally successful in the 70s with a string of LPs and chart hits which showcased their lush, close harmony compositions. Richard was a skilled arranger and pianist, and Karen began by playing the drums but then moved on to vocals, thereby creating her hallmark sound of low register ballads and slightly uptempo pop. Her death from complications caused by the disease anorexia nervosa ensured that Richard would spend his remaining career reworking and 'rediscovering' Carpenters unreleased material from a seemingly inexhaustible vault.

| abstract | - The Carpenters were an easy listening / country duo, made up of siblings Richard (1946- ) and Karen (1950-1983) Carpenter. They became phenomenally successful in the 70s with a string of LPs and chart hits which showcased their lush, close harmony compositions. Richard was a skilled arranger and pianist, and Karen began by playing the drums but then moved on to vocals, thereby creating her hallmark sound of low register ballads and slightly uptempo pop. Her death from complications caused by the disease anorexia nervosa ensured that Richard would spend his remaining career reworking and 'rediscovering' Carpenters unreleased material from a seemingly inexhaustible vault. Their crowning glory was probably either Goodbye To Love (1972), ostensibly a ballad which changed pace mid-section to feature a tearing, wrenching guitar solo from Tony Peluso that straddled adult contemporary and rock genres in startling fashion; or the overblown but completely memorable Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft (1978) which in its original version was an 8-minute long epic based around the idea that aliens were attempting to contact Earth. The latter was covered by Babes In Toyland on the CD If I Were A Carpenter, which featured several bands JP admired and was in fact played by him on occasion. Unexpectedly, Sonic Youth were great admirers of their work, and Superstar (1994 Festive Fifty #47), from the above mentioned If I Were A Carpenter, was a haunting and respectful cover. Previously, Tunic (Song For Karen) had reached #5 in the 1990 Festive Fifty. It tackled Karen's disease head on: "Now this tunic's spinning - around my arms and knees / I feel like I'm disappearing - getting smaller every day / But when I open my mouth to sing - I'm bigger in every way." Another cover version (which admittedly bore little relation to the original), A Song For You, appeared in the sole Peel session by Paul Johnson. It has to be said that their music had zero appeal for John, who turned the radio off if one of their songs came on ([1]), and vilified them in print on at least one occasion, when reviewing their version of Slim Whitman's Jambalaya (it reached number 12 in the UK charts in 1974): "Lots and lots and lots and lots of people think the Carpenters are just as neat as neat can be. I think they're revolting and they sing this righteous old country raver with all the verve and passion of a cadaver in an advanced state of decomposition. They make the soundtrack of Oklahoma! sound positively depraved. Such blistering wholesomeness is not a digestible commodity, Bring me my commode of burning gold." (Margrave Of The Marshes, Corgi, p.363. Reprinted from a singles review in Sounds.) Unsurprisingly, it does not appear that he ever played any of their material, although the trailer for Only At Christmas (1987) features a snatch of their version of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. No audio of this show has yet come to light, so an actual play of the song is unconfirmed.

Seven years later when Link as an adult returns to the village, everything is complete. The carpenters have moved out into Gerudo Valley, where they can be found inside of their tents. Their goal here is to rebuild the bridge that was destroyed sometime during the seven years Link was inside the Sacred Realm. Sadly, the only one of the carpenters that is left is the leader. The others have joined a band of Gerudo Thieves, leaving him to do the job all by himself. The Gerudos reject all of the carpenters, and lock them up throughout their hold. Link is required to free them and send them back to rebuild the bridge.

Es a partir de este momento en que Richard presiona a su hermana para que abandone la protección de la batería y comience a cantar "al frente".

Sometimes carpenters have to follow local rules that tell them where they can use certain materials. Most carpenters follow the same basic steps when getting ready for a job. They must lay out or design the project. Design includes measuring, marking, and arranging materials. The carpenter then cuts and shapes the material. Carpenters use different hand and power tools, such as chisels, saws, and drills. Finally, the carpenter joins the items together with nails, staples, or glue. They use tape measures or framing squares to increase the accuracy of their work. When working with ready-made parts, such as stairs or parts of walls, the carpenter's job is easier. A carpenter may install these parts all at one time. Carpenters may also replace glass, ceiling tiles, and doors. Some carpenters repair desks and cabinets; put in doors and windows; change locks; and repair broken furniture. In a factory, carpenters may help move or install machinery. Carpentry work is sometimes stressful. It often involves standing for a long time, climbing, bending, and kneeling. Carpenters risk getting hurt from slipping or falling, or from working with sharp or rough tools. Some carpenters change employers each time they finish a project. Others switch back and forth between working for someone else and being self-employed on small jobs.
