Pit Props were just sawn lengths of tree trunk, prepared in a saw mill, a joiner would not be involved, see http://www.dunn247.co.uk/page%20178/Page%20178%20010.jpg

Thank you Stan, it fits in with what my ancestor did. He maintained/ was responsible for machinery etc. for the majority of his life from the looks of things.

Thanks again,
emfranky.

As I said!
These days a joiner is usually taken to be a carpenter who makes cupboards & furniture.
