Hello,
I am looking for a joinery that will come out and template, cut to size and install a laundry and kitchen bench
but using our own timber as we have 2 solid iron bark slabs that i would like to use.
I want to do a 45% mitre join so it ends up as a L shape bench, i dont trust myself getting it 100% right.
Has anyone has this done before or would recommend someone in Brisbane for this type of job.
Thanks Ben
You want a carpenter or furniture maker, not a joiner.

Really, why is that?
I am a cabinet maker and joiner. The course I did at tafe 20years ago was Cabinet Making and Joinery. I have a big factory and huge table saw(which is what you need to cut that join) like all other cabinet makers and joiners.
A carpenter builds houses, usually has all his tools on the back of a ute and isn't setup to do this sort of work.

Well, there you go. I thought joiners were all about joining together flat materials like laminates, and possibly milled timbers, not slabs of hardwood - you live and learn. Apologies to the OP if I gave him a bum steer and to joiners everywhere for any inadvertent insult.

All good. Yes joiners do a lot more than that.
Its also a common misconception that carpenters can do this type of work or build kitchens. Sure they could have a go at it but they normally build houses with bigger tolerance levels. They also don't have the correct tools for the job.
