miller shows that willy is a low man through his second name and the fact he is a salesman but cannot sell, however willy is skilled with tools and this is his saving grace, sadly there is an irony as willy could make lots of money in construction but still believes selling is "the greatest job a man could want" even those close to willy aknowledge his prowess, "there was more of him in that front stoop than in all the sales he ever made"

also, miller himself was an acomplished cabinet maker and carpenter so this could be an allusion.
