Looking for some recommendations on a carpenter!

We bought a beautiful antique desk, but it's just slightly (like 1") too big to fit through our office door. We're hoping to have a carpenter disassemble the legs and then reassemble the desk once its in the right room. The legs look like they're in two pieces but glued together.

Any advice or recommendations appreciated!

Edit: The door in question isn't either of the ones in the photo. The photo is just of the desk.

Introducing a new initiative in Nanaimo: the Red Star Book Club.

We're a group of lefties who keet bi-weekly. Our goal with the club is to meet other leftists/potential comrades, engage in collective study to help better understand the current craziness that is the world, and maybe even put some things into practice eventually. "Philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it" after all.

The book club picks modern texts that are not super dense and tackles them collectively, either through group reading or group reflection on set chunks of the text. The works we pick are not overly theoretical.

Members of the club have various experience levels with leftist literature, and newcomers are very welcome! The club is intended to be an introductory space for leftist theory.

Starting in a couple weeks we'll be reading Stephanie McMillan's "Capitalism Must Die! A basic introduction to capitalism: what it is, why it sucks, and how to crush it."

A description: "This 240-page book uses text and comics to explain in simple terms what capitalism is, how it works, why it's irredeemable, and what we can do to end it. Oppression, ecocide, inequality, and exploitation can't be voted away or escaped. We can't get rid of them through consumer or lifestyle choices. To end the atrocities, we need to build a worldwide fight against capitalism! Part 1 of the book explains the economic mechanisms of capitalism, and why the growth imperative is built into it. Part 2 explains the kind of organizations we need to build and support, in order to have a fighting chance against this ruthless global system. Throughout, cartoons make the points even more clear (and might make you laugh as well)."

I won't post any concrete meeting times/locations publicly, but if you're interested shoot me a message and we'll go from there.
