"We contacted Florida Woodworks to build kitchen cabinets for our home. The existing cabinets were partially damaged when we had a water pipe break in our wall. Jack and his son Zack did an excellent job at demolishing and installing new custom made wooden kitchen cabinets. They are both very professional and polite. The project was priced "right" and the quality is excellent. We highly recommend this company and rate it a 5 star for quality; customer service; value for money; overall."

"Southern Rust Woodworks has the best custom built products around. I have several pieces he has made for me, and I get asked all the time who did them and how to contact him. He can make anything you want! Or if you donâ t have an idea, he has great ideas himself. My house is basically a Southern Rust Woodworks showcase. Love all my pieces and they are excellent quality. Love all his products!!!"

"I wish I could post pictures on here so everyone can see the workmanship. First, he removed all the old wire shelving and replaced the shelves using my vision and they look so professional! He has done other work for us in the past as well. He installed custom made moldings to go around our exterior windows and wow do they look great!!"

"I couldn't be happier with the work done on my kitchen! The quality is outstanding and the finished space looks incredible. He was professional. courteous, and alwavs on time. He came prepared with his own materials, worked cleanly, and made the whole process stress-free. Honestly, he's the best I've ever hired. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-tier workmanship!"

"Custom built my fish cleaning table, repaired and replaced dock boards, and redid my firepit with french drain and stablized it. Excellent work and I am very pleased. Every single worker was great: polite, friendly, hard working, knowledgeable, diligent. It was alot more involved than anticipated and the cost almost doubled. They charge by the hour per worker rather than a firm fixed price contract so just keep that in mind. I will definitely use them again."

Woodworking questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can find ceiling joists using simple tools if a stud finder isn't available.

Using a hammer requires patience and a keen ear. Gently tap the ceiling in a grid pattern, listening for sound changes. A hollow sound indicates space between joists, while a solid, dull thud suggests a joist. Mark the location with a pencil and confirm by tapping from different angles.

Alternatively, you can use a nail, but this method will leave small holes. You'll feel increased resistance when the nail hits a joist. Mark the spot and repeat the process every 16 or 24 inches to map the joist locations. This method is considered less reliable than using a stud finder.

No, you do not usually tip a carpenter for their work. However, if you’ve been very happy with the level of service and quality of work, a 10% to 20% tip would likely be accepted with thanks. If you’re not sure, it can help to discuss the carpenter’s policy or preference for tipping before beginning the project.

No, beams are the primary load-bearers for flooring or roofing systems, and they distribute the weight of the structure to your foundational supports, while joists bear far less weight and distribute their loads to the beams. Beams are usually thicker and longer, and they have support posts or foundation walls beneath them for support.

Whether or not it’s easier to cut wood when it’s wet versus dry depends largely on the type of tool you use and the wood you’re cutting. For example, a chain saw should still be able to cut through wet wood with relative ease, but it may be more difficult to maneuver due to the wood fibers sticking to the chains of the saw. 

However, you might want to avoid cutting wood entirely when it’s wet if you’re pruning your tree. Sawing a wet tree that you don’t plan on removing can also encourage bacterial and fungal growth and decay.

Rustic and modern farmhouse styles are currently the most popular. These include rustic and antique furniture, muted colors, clean lines, eclectic decor, and natural materials. Some other popular farmhouse styles include the following:

  • Coastal farmhouse: Creates a lighter, airier feel with soft colors and blue palettes, along with gold

  • Colonial farmhouse: Focuses on real antique furniture and decor

  • French farmhouse: Leans on French country architecture and design by including marble and lighter-colored metals, like zinc

  • Industrial farmhouse: Includes thick, chunky furniture and dark metals

  • Scandinavian farmhouse: Usually includes lighter wood colors and more refined furniture
