Description

i’m poor and can’t afford to pay carpenters their rates. thus, i can’t hire a carpenter to build 2 pieces of furniture to match an existing furniture set i have: a dresser and a desk. the existing furniture set is made of oak (i thiiiiiiink; photos attached); it’s minimalistic, sturdy. design details (of which i’m omitting a lot here for brevity!): i want the dresser and desk to each have drawers in the same style of the drawer in photo 1, and i want them to have the same thickness and (if possible) type of wood as the furniture set i already have (if i can’t match the wood, i’ll stain them all the same color later in my life). for further details — which i’ll divulge if u can help satisfy an answer or answers to one or more of the questions below, email me. my questions: 1 — are there any carpenters that’d be willing to do trades for this furniture??? i can organize very well, manage online stuff/communications/social media, and i am a professional graphic designer, each of which i’d be willing to trade. 2 — are there any wood studios that i could go to that’d teach me skills to help accomplish building the 2 pieces of furniture i want & give me access to tools i’d need to build??? i am a very apt learner. i’d actually prefer to build the pieces myself, but can’t because i don’t have access to tools that’d help me build these things, hence why i originally wanted to hire a carpenter… 3 — are there places that’ll cut wood to size for me, and ship the pieces to me for me to assemble??? 4 — do u have any tips for how to build dressers and desks with drawers on a budget??? my home’s organization and my peace thank you in advance.
