@icedquinn @slowfallinward @mur2501 @sean you can build something like this without cnc. if you want to build stuff like this start with a hand drill, an angle grider for ~ $100, a framing square and a few other hand tools.
if you want to weld it,get a cheap mig welder with flux core wire for ~ $200
once you have those basic tools for < $300 you can build really soild heavy duty furniture with metal and plywood tops. home depot will cut sheets of plywood down for you for free.
having me make custom furniture for you would be way too expensive since most of the expense is in the design time.
