A workman is someone who does physical or manual labor for a job. This person often works with their hands.
When we talk about people's jobs, we sometimes refer to them as workmen. For example, if you go to a hardware store and ask an employee to help you fix something, he might be a handy workman. Construction workers are also considered workmen because they do physical labor on building sites. Sometimes the term "workman" is used interchangeably with other words like "laborer" or "handyman."
