To be honest, I think most, if not all design was done by the carpenter here. Without any dimensions or details or notes or specifications, this is more like: "The pleasure of commissioning someone to design furniture based on your own sketches."
It's akin to someone saying, "I made an iPhone app! I drew a bunch of pencil sketches for a wireframe, and gave it to someone who then built it for me! Everyone should make their own iPhone apps."
Never mind, of course, that the 'someone' had to interpret the sketches, create mockups, create design assets, develop and test the iPhone app.
If he gave dimensioned drawings with a standard 4-view layout, with some pencil sketches, specified the materials, and/or created the design through an iterative process with the carpenter, then sure, I'll call that design. But design, this isn't.
HN would understand that most of the importance is in the execution of the idea. This is a furniture analog to "I have a great idea for an app/website - I just need someone to build it!"
