I am very happy with the work done today by Dee. He did a great job and was very friendly! I would happily recommend him to others and will call on him again as needed.

Just magic. The job turned out to be more difficult than we thought, with lots of adjustments required. Paul was all over it, nothing was a problem, and he did a great job. And he's lovely. The shutters look amazing!

Damien came to install Absco shed. Its only just before installing it to the ground that he found the size is different from what we have ordered. But lucky enough that we got the correct size as well in the package. In spite of spending all that valuable time, Damien was kind enough to again set it up and install the correct size one. His empathy, kindness and professionalism are beyond words to express. He is also very humble, happy to answer my questions. He has got all the tools required for the task. He definitely deserves more than 5 stars. Highly recommended.

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.

Woodworker to take an indent out of table for chess board to slot in

$5

Kaleen ACT, Australia

26th Dec 2023

MAKE A FAIR OFFER I’m only putting $5 here because I don’t know what to price this at Please see attached photos for the coffee table. I am mosaicking a chess board and want it to sit flush with the wood so we can put glass over the whole thing. There is a space built in the design that works for exactly the space I need, it’s the inner square part An attempt has been made with a chisel, I’m so sorry if this makes your job harder. I am not cut out for woodwork, only mosaicking. If you could please just make this whole inner square go down a notch and all even across the whole space so that the tiles can fit in flush with the table and flat that would be fantastic (I am happy to sand it though if you did this too that would be fantastic) Would like it done as soon as possible however I realise it’s Christmas time so it’s ok if it’s not done until later Location is Kaleen but if you want to take the coffee table back to your workshop that’s fine Thanks! - Due date: Flexible

The table looks fantastic Thankyou!! really nice work and friendly fella thanks a bunch I’m stoked :)
