Describe any other skills you have in the construction industry and the experience you have using those skills. If the company has other positions open, they might ask if you have different construction skills to see how versatile an employee you would be. For example, they might have a project that requires woodworking and metal fabrication. If you can do both tasks, you may rank higher than other candidates who do not have both skills.

If you do not have additional skills besides woodworking, avoid saying that you do. If hired, it will be apparent to the interviewer that you were dishonest in your interview. If you do not have additional skills, tell the interviewer that you do not but express an interest in another craft you would like to learn. It may be that the company is willing to train you in the skills you are interested in learning.

"Yes, I do have other construction skills besides woodworking. I am a competent welder and have enjoyed working in metal fabrication for five years. I also have one year of experience in plumbing and electrical and can assist with the plumbing and electrical installation if needed."
