Answer:
In the Greek translation Jesus is mentioned as the son of a τέκτονος (greek for craftsman, mason, freemason.
In the Hebrew text of Mark 6:3 Jesus is not mentioned as a carpenter nor son of a carpenter. He is mentioned as the son of a craftsman.
The verse in Mark 6:3:
"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Josef and Judas and Simon" looks like this in Hebrew:
בן החרש הלא אמו שמה מרים ואחיו יעקב ויוסי ושמעון ויהודה
בן החרש meaning "son of the craftsman"
החרש meaning "the craftsman"
חרש meaning "craftsman"
Noun:
חרש (kharásh) m. הלא זה הוא A craftsman: אומן בעבודה בחומרים קשים: מתכת, עץ או אבן.
חרש (kharásh) m.
A craftsman: Artist working on hard materials: metal, wood or stone.
The proper translation to English should therefore be:
"Is it not him, son of the craftsman?. Is not his mother's name Miryam and his brother's Jacob, Yosef, Simon and Yehuda?".
Jesus could have been son to a wood craftsman; carpenter, a stone craftsman; mason(freemason), a metal craftsman; blacksmith or such.
-------------------------
I would even take take it one step further and claim that the meaning of "son of the craftsman" really means son of The Creator; he who crafted it all.
Jesus according to Christianity did not have anything to do with his earthly "father" Joseph, with whatever profession he may have had, and who, by the way, never touched his wife Miryam before she got pregnant in the "miraculous" way it was described.
Son of the Creator is a title given to the whole nation of Israel, G-D's chosen people, and not only to Jesus.
(By the way, why did Matthew 1 spend a whole page describing Josephs' genealogy through the lineage of King David if Jesus really was the son of G-D and not the biological son of Joseph? And an even greater mystery is why a totally different genealogy is described in Luke 3 for the same person..)
