Hi,
You do not need a sponsor if you have 120 points, however, you may find the wait for a 175 visa long, possibly a couple of years. If you don't have 120 points you will need a sponsor, a state government sponsor or an employer sponsor. If you find an employer who is prepared to sponsor you then it is the quickest process, possibly about six months for a permanent visa or a couple of weeks for a temporary visa. State Sponsorship will give you 20 points and a quicker processing time.
Some states sponsor cabinet makers, you can look through each state's sponsorship site. You can find an employer either by contacting various manufacturers directly or through contacts. Agencies are unlikely to help you find a sponsoring employer but it doesn't hurt to try.
Hope it helps.
Dorota
