We are so happy with the result of Mario’s work. He works diligently and is self-motivated to achieve a quality outcome. We wanted to use cutek stain, which needs more time to dry between coats. We were thankful that he was able to accommodate this around the unpredictable weather and other commitments.

What do carpenters do?

Whether you’re planning a major renovation on your home or you simply want to make things look a bit nicer, hiring a carpenter or chippy can help you with many different tasks. Carpenters use different types of power tools and hand tools to carry on building and construction work. 

Carpentry work is generally broken down into two types: rough and finish. Rough carpentry refers to work that doesn’t have an intricate look, as it’s covered up – often by bricks, tiles, or plaster work. Finish carpentry covers the work that will be on display, so needs to have a nicer finish. Furniture, decking, and window frames all fall into this second category. 

Decking

Many Australian homes are blessed with a large backyard and plenty of sunny hours to enjoy that space. A decking specialist can add an outdoor deck or upgrade an existing one that opens up your outdoor space. This is great if you want to entertain guests or eat outside as a family during the sunny months. 

Cabinet making

Cabinet makers are one example of finish carpentry, because of the high level of detail that goes into their end products. Unlike structural work, it’s important that a cabinet looks nice, so this type of carpenter is a lot more focused on fine details. Cabinet makers often specialise in other forms of furniture making too. 

Refinishing carpentry

While structural carpentry is concerned with jobs on the large end of the scale, trim or refinishing carpentry looks at the small end. A trim carpenter is the way to go if you want someone to fix up your skirting boards, cornicing, or a similar aspect of your home.

Custom made furniture

A house isn’t a home without a few personal touches, and if you’d rather avoid the cookie-cutter Ikea approach to decorating your property, hiring a carpenter to create custom-made furniture can make you stand out. Whether you want chairs, tables, or a shoe rack, there’s someone nearby who can help. 

Joinery

Joinery services encompass the craftsmanship of creating and joining wood in workshops, distinct from on-site carpentry. These services range from bespoke projects to crafting timber buildings, emphasizing precision and passion. Joiners play a crucial role in interior woodwork, window and door production, and specialized construction, offering tailored and quality timber solutions.

Build a bed frame in a vehicle

$400

Mentone VIC, Australia

20th Jul 2024

Hello, need to build out a bed frame for the back of my Pajero. The mattress is 90 cm wide and around 2 m long. (Im 6'3) needs to be chemical free wood obviously and sturdy enough to hold around 100kg. With the front seat all the way the forward there is just enough room to fit these dimensions. I need it just high enough to go over the top of the left hand wheel arch and sit over the center console. Im thinking of having a hinge there (see 2nd pic) would be handy so when you have the front seats go back to drive you can fold that section up to a 90 degree or so. Maybe those 2 legs closer to the center console could have some locking/retaining hinges to fold the legs flat when the seats are moved back for driving. Doesnt have to be anything fancy either, just needs to do the job. Happy to drive out to someone that could slap this together. Thank you.
