Bodging and Botching

Two words often used interchangeably. Few ordinary folk know the difference which is not surprising as dictionaries don’t help much.
As a DIY botcher myself I recognise the work of my fellow botchers.
A bodger though can be a wood turner and particularly of chair legs therefore skilled. This is a fairly modern use of the word. In older times the word was used for one who mends or patches old clothes also a botcher.
In a Bible commentary of 1654 J Trapp uses the phrase “Ye are not onely forgers but botchers”, but the OED recognises the earliest use of the word botch in this sense as in c1440.
