I need someone who can make raised panel doors and/or use a 45* biscuit joiner on a mitred edge.
Do you happen to have a
I'm tossing a few designs around and between the tools I'll need and the wood, it might pay to have someone else do it!

- 45* biscuit joiner
- 10" compound sliding miter saw
- Pocket Hole kit
- something better than a piano hinge for raising the top

Usually a cabinet maker is cheaper. He buys bulk Oak,Cherry and whatever. My discount on hardwoods won't match his. I don't have a joiner or a pocket hole kit (have too much experience to need them.) Do have table saws, routers, sliding compound miter saws, 10 different finish and brad nailers,etc....
You can't judge the work by my canopy. I only used a circular saw to cut everything. I had 13 pins in my foot and couldn't drive anywhere to P/U any of my tools, and I built it on my gravel driveway with a cast on. So, yes, I could have made my seams closer and my cuts straighter.
I can't show you the other one I'm making now which is similar because my wife and son wanted to help. What kind of pics. do you want of the 3 door?

Thanks for all of the offers for help. At this point, I'm really looking to see if I can get it done affordably. There is so much going on right now that I don't have the time to put to it to do it right.
Mike, what would you need from me to get a quote from your guy?
Thanks!

Got it. I didn't get a chance to look at it good yet. Hafta get back to work. Doing the night shift a few nights this week to make up for taking off Saturdays. I didn't check to see if the inside measurements were on there yet. Meeting him sometime tomorrow. I'll get back to ya later.
Here are the two ideas I have:
The one without doors is similar to my current canopy. The big challenge we had was getting a tight miter joint on the connection of the front and side panels. Also, the diagonal cut running up the sides was a bit of a bear. Of course the one in the corner of the room came out OK, but the one facing the living area was a mess.
Anyway, that's what we're looking for but have no desire to go through the year long process the last one took.
