Custom Built-In Walnut Shelving with LED Lighting Looking for a skilled cabinet maker / joiner to design and build a custom built-in shelving unit similar to the attached reference image. Overall concept • Floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving • Warm walnut finish (does not need to be real walnut veneer, but must look high quality and match existing walnut tones in the house as closely as possible) • Integrated LED lighting for a soft, premium look (using Philips Hue LED strips) Dimensions • Ceiling height: 3.36m • Width required: 1.30–1.35m • Full wall width is 145cm, but must allow clearance for a sheer curtain being installed • Depth: • Actual wall depth: 26cm • Skirting board protrudes ~3cm at the bottom • Target shelf depth around 23cm • That extra 3cm can potentially be used to recess/hide LED lighting behind the shelves Design & construction • Vertical side panels with multiple horizontal shelves (open shelving) • Clean, modern, minimal look (similar proportions to reference) • Shelves strong enough for decor objects/books • LED strips discreetly integrated (behind shelves or verticals), compatible with Philips Hue • Power and LED channels neatly concealed Materials & finish • Open to material suggestions (e.g. walnut-look veneer, laminate, or engineered board) • Priority is appearance and finish, not necessarily solid timber • Looking for a good balance between cost and quality - not cheap, but not over-engineered Scope • Measure, build, supply materials, and install • Happy to discuss shelf spacing and final detailing with the right person • Please include examples/photos of similar cabinetry or shelving you’ve done If you have ideas to improve the design or make it more cost-effective without compromising the look, I’m very open to suggestions.

This is a good one, please feel free to laugh. I had my kitchen installed last week and was testing handle designs. I placed a 500mm lip pull handle in the cabinet to see what two side by side 200m might look like in the space. Then, in a moment of insanity, I closed the doors. It’s now locked in and no amount of jiggling will free it. Can’t get into the cabinet from the other side as it’s a separate unit. Now I need someone who can carefully cut through either the hinges or handle without damaging the cabinet. Open to ideas but I’m pretty sure this is how it has to be!

I plan to buy a freestanding IKEA TORNVIKEN-style cabinet (72cm wide) and a pre-cut Rubberwood timber benchtop slab (~108–110cm W x 52cm D). I need someone reliable to: Level the cabinet and raise height approx. 1-3cm (feet/shims as required) Securely fix the benchtop to the cabinet from underneath Add any necessary support for a left-side overhang (~38cm) Ensure adjacent cabinet doors remain fully accessible Potentially cut/trim a few CMs from IKEA cabinet shelves to allow room for adjacent existing cabinet door to open fully No wall fixing, no plumbing, no electrical work. All materials supplied. Labour required only. Kitchen is small and accessible and unit will fit against the tiled wall and adjacent to the existing benchtop — see photos available. Looking for a fixed price. Approx. $280 - $330. Happy to answer questions or share further layout plan photos before accepting.

I have a wooden sliding door between kitchen and laundry that needs to be trimmed at the bottom so it won’t scratch the new floors

I need someone to change these laundry doors that are bifold doors into sliding doors in the laundry area. If a tracking system is installed, it would be on the tiles and not the carpet when aligned. The doors would also need to be made shorter length wise as they may be too tall to be turned into sliding doors. The budget includes the materials to do this task as I don't have any on hand.

Stained glass repair back to original appearance

I’m looking for a skilled cabinet maker / handyman to repair some damaged cabinets that happened after a recent renovation at a retail store. I’ll attach photos so you can see the issue clearly. Need to cover the electrical outlets somehow. At this stage, I’m after: Ideas on how it can be repaired. A quote once you’ve reviewed the photos Open to practical, cost-effective solutions. I have also attached picture of how some cabinets have covers to the electricity outlets. So something on those lines so the space can be used. If you need to come in to see the cabinets before quoting that's fine as well and can be organised. Happy to answer any questions you might have.

I have a kitchen pull-out bin cabinet (with internal bins on runners). I would like to convert the front panel into a side-hinged cabinet door instead of a pull-out bin. Current setup: • Cabinet front is attached to a pull-out bin system • Internal bins and runners are currently installed (see photos) Scope of work: • Remove the pull-out bin system and runners • Convert the existing front panel into a side-opening door (left or right hinge) • Door size remains unchanged • Install appropriate hinges (supplied) • Ensure smooth opening/closing and proper alignment • Also need to add one internal shelf (timber panel) to convert the cabinet into a standard cupboard. Photos of the cabinet, bin system, and internal structure are attached. Notes: • Experience with cabinetry / joinery preferred Location: Melbourne CBD with parking available
