The unit will stand against our office window and hold three large 3D printers in the lower compartments, with a display model resting on top.

Full diagrams and dimensions can be provided on application.

What we're looking for

Proven experience in carpentry/joinery and furniture making Access to your own

tools, workspace, and transport (van preferred)

fair pricing

-- we're a new business on a tight budget, but we reward quality and reliability with repeat work Quick turnaround times and good communication

go-to carpenter/joiner

as we expand
