Barb Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Good morning, any recommendations for a carpenter to construct and install a Murphy Bed. We have the hardware and manufacturer's plans. Thank you..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Given my experience building a Murphy bed from a hardware kit, you don't need an individual carpenter but rather a cabinet shop which has the saws and equipment to cut sheet goods and lay large pieces of laminate. That I don't know locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiminmexico Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 I think we're going to be working with Have Hammer Will Travel in Riberas. Will be getting a quote shortly. They have all the necessary equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geeser Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 The cabinet shop on Aldama south of Caraterra and 100 meters south of Gpe Voctoria on the right going toward lake does nice work at a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdlngton Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 A number of years ago I would have recommended MMM (Muebles y Madereria Mora) in the big orange building just west of the Animal Shelter in Riberas. They made a great 12' wall unit of MDF for me several years ago But they closed and the building has been divided into two parts and repainted. The left part of the building apparently is going to open as a climbing gym. The right part houses EME architects, which I believe is the same Mr. Mora who owned MMM. Does anybody know if they still make furniture? I want two more wall units built and would love to use them again. Or I need recommendations for someone else who can make my wall units. I would prefer MDF as I don't want pine because it is so soft and dents easily. I want to paint the units white so don't need them made of a more expensive wood.

conejorapido Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 We had some shelving made by Ricardo Mora recently. They are still making furniture at the new shop as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdlngton Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 We had some shelving made by Ricardo Mora recently. They are still making furniture at the new shop as far as I know. I stopped by there this week and Alejandro came today to measure and prepare an estimate for wall units of MDF. I was very pleased with their work in the past and glad to know they are still in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiminmexico Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Have Hammers Will Travel built and installed our Murphy Bed for us. We supplied the hardware from the US. Apparently the hardware can be purchased in Guad. But, I have no idea where. Have Hammers did a fine job & we would highly recommend them for the work.

bdlngton Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Since this thread popped up again, I thought I would update the information for the carpenter I recommended before, formerly MMM and the EME in Riberas, just west of the Animal Shelter. They have left that location and moved to Ixtlahuacan. Contact person is Alejandro Zaragoza, 333-954-9068. They built two wall units for me in October and did a great job. Alejandro was great to work with. He is now building me a bed. I recommend them highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVGRINGO Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 You have already asked, and been answered. You will have to buy the hardware, then have one built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagles100 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 I designed this china cabinet and Luis from Rustico built it for us. The picture was taken before the pulls were added because I bought them after. He has built lots of other furniture for us and we're very pleased. He used to be in Riberas but moved his shop close to where Lucky Dog is. He will come to you and give you a quote.
