Sundeep Furniture Works

Our workshop, Sundeep Furniture Works, is located on Bhagjoy Keer Marg. It is a place where there is always the smell of wood and a bit of sawdust on the floor. I started working here a long time ago, learning how to handle the tools and understand different types of timber. We don't have a big showroom with bright lights. Instead, you will see planks of wood leaning against the walls and half-finished chairs or tables in the middle of the room. People from around the area usually stop by when they need a new cupboard built for a bedroom or if a leg on their favorite table has snapped. We do a lot of repair work too. It’s not the kind of place where things are made by machines in five minutes. We take our time with the joints and the sanding. My brother helps me out with the heavy lifting and the finishing. Sometimes customers bring in a drawing on a piece of paper, and we talk about how to make it real. It is honest work and my hands are usually covered in some kind of stain or glue by the end of the day. We don't do much talking, mostly just focusing on the wood. The street is usually busy, but inside the shop, we just stick to our tasks. It is what we have been doing right here for years.
