Attached is a hand drawn blueprint of a box that measures 31.5" x 31" x 7" depth. The only thing is that there has to be a x shape in the box. These box will be used to hold towels so it doesn't have to been made out of the best wood in the world. It will also be hung up so the lighter the better. I'm just looking for quotes, Even if your not a carpenter and just skilled in this field I will not mind.

What are the "x"'s for? Why don't you just go to walmart and buy a towel rack for $5?

Or just buy a couple cheap plastic containers?

What's the point to this "x" box contraption?

edit

after studying it more, are you wanting to roll towels up and place them inside like a fancy hotel / spa?

Rolled towels will go in each section.

Well I need this custom size, I got a carpenter to make it for me. And for noob, yes it is for a fancy spa. My mom is opening one up in downtown habour front center, beside the Radisson hotel. I'll probably solicit the shit out of this forum when it's near opening day.


...before anyone asks, there are no happy ending available at this Spa. Go back to Jane and Finch if you want those.

in materials, this would cost probably around $30 (pine).

It's an easy thing to make provided you have the right tools. If I were closer I'd whip it up for you.

I know your a carpenter and I was actually debating coming to you but this guy is pretty fair $30 for the materials, $40 for labour, $10 for priming it giving me some wall anchors and hanging points on the box

Contact a friend and ex business partner of mine Steve at Elite Contracting. Tell him you are a friend of Mark Murray and would like a quote on the work.

I don't get a cut or anything by mentioning my name but if you don't, he probably wouldn't take the job because it is so small.

He is a perfectionist and a professional cabinet maker, so this project would be easy as pie for him. He does everything from tile, lighting to landscaping and pools. He may not be the cheapest but he is likely one of the best. I can personally speak for the quality of his work as we worked together for almost 10 years and were business partners for a good chunk of that time. We did a lot of work for businesses. We were the company that built/converted all the Pita Pit restaurants and built cabinets for jewelry stores and did some work for Birks and People's, in case you wanted to check out some of the work.

The phone number for Steve at Elite Contracting is 416-856-8453

For that price you could probably buy something from Ikea or Lowes or something.
