It seems that you never managed to get in touch with him! I feel you as I had the same issues with some furniture I wanted to have. My issue was that my house is not as tall so I needed special modifications which are not usually available in the market. I couldn't get a hold of any carpenter in my are that could do this kind of work for me, so I decided to take matters in to my own hands. All I needed was the best benchtop jointer as I have some experience myself with furniture. Moral of the story; sometimes you got to take matters in your own hands.
