My brother is a 'proper' carpenter and sadly struggles to find people like you.
People seek him out because of his skill, but then upon being told that it might be £600 for interior door to be made, or more, suddenly want him to fit a store bought one. His daily rate is low, but a lot of rich people still don't want to pay for a job to be done properly.
Quite sad to see people buying amazing historic houses and then filling them with ready made fittings, after tearing out the old hand made stuff.
