I need a leaded stained glass cabinet door repaired

$300

I hired Gabriel to fix a table with an oil stain, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results! The table looks brand new! What stood out to me was the attention to detail. If you’re looking for someone who can breathe new life into your furniture, I highly recommend Gabriel. I’m beyond thrilled with the results of my table and will definitely be returning for future projects. A five-star experience from start to finish! Thank you 🙏🏼

Help with cutting / drilling for wooden bench project

$200

San Francisco CA 94117, USA

Apr 3rd 2026

Looking for a handy, experienced tasker to help with a DIY wooden bench project. The help would involve: (1) cutting two planks of wood into trapezoid shapes (measurements already confirmed and can be provided before the job); (2) attaching metal reinforcements/brackets/mending plates to join/stabilise the planks of wood; and (3) securing frames/legs to underside of bench. The end result should be a sturdy bench, ready for use. I will provide the wooden planks (pre purchased, or we can discuss sourcing), the metal reinforcement hardware (brackets, screws etc), the frames/legs and any other materials needed. The tasker will need to bring a saw capable of angle cuts, drill / drill bits, screwdriver / screw gun, measuring tape (square and level) and possibly sandpaper for finishing edges. The ideal tasker will have basic carpentry and furniture building experience, be proficient in using a saw to cut angle shapes, be comfortable using power tools, detail oriented, and should provide photos of similar past work (if available). This is hopefully a straightforward project, but I would like it done well. Happy to be present and assist while work is being undertaken. Please let me know if you have any questions about materials or dimensions before booking. Thank you
