if you want to do any piece of furniture or anything in shuwaikh there is a good guide called aldileela sold in virgin, which contains really good maps and notes on where can you find things.

but if you are going to do a model or a piece of furniture but you don't know what to start with here is a tip,

1. understand that all the iron comes in 6 m length and the wood comes always with specific dimensions (5x25-20x240) and there are many kinds, and also there is the squarish dimensions مرابيع which come also in different scales and if you can't pay for the expensive wood but want their appearance, you can buy a veneer and cover your wood and this is usually done by the painter .
>so i would recommend first of all you should visit the suppliers بائع الخشب مثل الاستاذ و ليس المنجرة، بائع الحديد مثل صوفان و الصفار للبراغي و العدة
ask about the types and prices. you will get inspired of how would you do your work with.

2. draw your piece with its dimensions on a piece of paper before going to a carpenter or blacksmith.

3. in drawing everything in advance you should make a map of what comes first:

-how many pieces (full) of wood do you need
-plywood, MDF or natural معاكس والا طبيعي
-will it be exposed to water? to make it protected (MDF won't stand water at all)
-thickness: determines how long the screw must be (screws best bought first to show them a sample of th fastener because they get the idea when you show them.
-the way of joining: determines the type of the screw
-if there are holes for the joints to fit, then do the iron holes first but do the wood holes at the end.
-glass, plexy glass are the most expensive,aluminum and iron are average (but they might cheat on you easily) and wood is the cheapest (and they never cheat, if you felt so, divide it into wood price and work price).
by the way the ply wood used to be in 4.5 kd now is 6.5 kd !

4. now you should put in mind that the best way to get things easy going is to find a carpenter next to a wood supplier, or a blacksmith next to Sofan supplier to save transportation.

5. to all of those who you will contact:
-explain it (make it appear simple)
-discuss the price

blacksmith example> قطعة وحدة (بسيطه فيها تخريم مع لحيمها مترين في متر) بدون سعر الحديد يحاسب عليها ١٥ دك صافيها ٧ دك

- when you give any one the wood or iron, note that they have no right to get what left from it الزايد
unless you don't really need it.
- take their contact number, give them yours, don't depend totally on them come back before their submission date and check your stuff.
- you will save time if you thought in advance of how you're gonna transport it to the place you want after it is ready, better than searching for a cap over there.
و كروة الوانيت ان كثرت وايد وصلت ٧دك بس المناطق القريبة من بعض ٢-٣

- try to understand a bit of farsy and hindu, that might help in getting in their realm and they may like you and give you a good price :)
-always get the bill it is better for the long run, it has the name of the shop, the name and price of the piece as well as their numbers. you can understand the prices from year to year with this technique.
