This comes up from time to time but I usually just build my own but I don't have the time or the space at the moment so does anybody have a good priced carpenter to build some custom furniture? I can construct it and finish, I just need the wood cut accurately. Designs are all done and ready to go... Anybody got the hookup I need?

Myles, are you using real wood or fibreboard (MDF)?

If you're using MDF or ply then just find a factory with a CNC machine, show them your plans and get them to quote it.

Hope this helps.
