Basic Carpentry - Cut wood and screw in brackets. (Materials Provided)

$150

Dickson ACT, Australia

27th May 2026

I need someone to construct two basic bits of furniture. I have all the dimensions and materials (except wood glue). I have attached reference images of both. I planned to make them myself but don't have the tools to do so. 1: A thin console table to go behind the couch. It is a long thin panel with three legs (already cut to size), all just attached with brackets and screws. It also needs a hole cut out on top for an outlet to sit in (we have the outlet). 2: A waterfall edge coffee table to go over an ottoman. Essentially just a panel of wood with two legs to sit over an ottoman. Panel and legs need to be cut and attached at a 45 degree angle with brackets screwed in for extra support. Again, I have all the materials except wood glue. I can bring everything to you for construction or you're welcome to bring tools to my home in Dickson. Nothing needs sanded or oiled. Should be a pretty simple job for someone with the tools, shouldn't take longer than 90 min. Aside from reference images, I've attached some images of the materials I have in case that's helpful.
