Strewth, I'll give it a bash and be waaayyyy cheaper.
Jeez, to have the experience of cutting your knee open and stapling / gluing / sewing stuff back together I'll pay you
Beat that.
How hard can it be? Same as carpentry? No - soldering. No, welding. No - fibreglass. No .....?
Try a combination of carpentry and embroidery, wearing gloves, using miniature tools which cost 10 times as much as anything you'd get at Bunnings.
Lets imagine you are repairing broken vines on a pergola - You are working through a small opening in the shadecloth where you can only see one side of the job. The timber is covered by vines and all the gaps are filled with moss so you can't see where the vines go. Some of the vines are broken and need to be rejoined. If you cut any more vines the whole pergola might fall down, but you have to reattach the cut ends in a strong but seamless fashion, whilst someone constantly pours red paint onto the area just to make visibility really difficult. Then you have to use your embroidery skills to rejoin all the moss and shadecloth and try to make it look like it did a year ago.
Then it all has to be able to move...
Orthopaedics is an art, a science, and a little bit of magic!
