Explanation - A bodger is the name given to the incredibly talented craftsmen who lived and worked in the beech woodland in the High Wycombe area of the UK, using the native trees to make the spindles to form the back and base of the Windsor style of chairs. They would set up a pole lathe for a few days, make loads of chair legs and back spindles, then head into town to sell them to a bottomer, who would fit them to a seat and then sell the whole chair. The totally unfair expression of a bodge job being one done badly seems to have arisen because the bodgers never actually made a complete chair; their work was unfinished.
