These are my hands. They are certainly not beautiful, but they are my pride and joy, even though i lose the battle everyday with keeping them clean. These hands, like me, are marked calloused and scarred and can be rough to the touch. 

I am a woodworker.

My hands have planted and felled trees They have split firewood, they have built structures and have carved sculptures from entire logs as well as subjects the size of insects.

These hands have been both creating and restoring things in wood for thirty years.  My hands have even made musical instruments, they have built sailboats, they have rendered beautiful carvings, things which are now owned by millionaires all around the world. They have designed and built practical things for you in your homes, from shaker furniture to ultra modern interior fixtures. These hands have caressed the beams and structures of temples in Japan and have felt the inside of a Stradavari. I have even restored real thrones. 

So yes,.. yes i can fix your furniture.
