About Carlos DIY Projects

I turn ideas and raw material into things you'll keep

Carlos DIY Projects started the way most good shops do: a garage, a couple of tools, and a pile of wood somebody else was throwing out. Cable spools, pallets, offcuts, rough pine — material most people walk past becomes tables, shelves, and chairs that outlive the store-bought version.

I build custom furniture, shelving, outdoor pieces, tables, chairs, and decorative work. If you've got a photo, a sketch, or just a rough idea in your head, I'll work through the dimensions, materials, and finish with you and build it right the first time.

Everything is one-of-a-kind. Nothing leaves the shop until I'd be happy to have it in my own house.
