Not his problem. You didn't pay the carpenter.

So the fact that not everyone can be a carpenter would become the carpenter's problem, if I had paid him?

Huh?

If you pay the carpenter to make something, he should make what you asked him to.

If the carpenter makes free stuff out of his own kindness, you don't get to complain that it isn't exactly what you asked for.

Yes. That's how everything works. If you don't know how to build a shelf by yourself or don't have the time, you pay a carpenter to do what you want.

It's now the carpenter's problem to make the shelf with the specifications that you gave him.

You're so self-righteous, you're plowing through stuff without reading what you're responding to. This isn't what you said before, and even your clarification makes no sense in context.

It doesn't work, anyway. If you can't build the shelf yourself, what compels the carpenter to make it to your specifications? Even if you paid him? Nothing.

The trouble is, you insist on framing this in terms of the carpenter's rights. It's an impoverished view. No one else is looking at it that way, no one is disputing his rights.

No need for insults.

Violating a contract has penalties. Yes he can ignore it and then give your money back with the potential of being required to give extra money back because of the contract violation.
