So once you have the idea and design of your invention how do you make someone to make it without they stealing your idea?

The only way I know how to protect a simple invention like this would be to have a patent.

How do you get the patent?
I have a design that I was thinking of asking the local carpenter to make for me but was worried he might steal the design...

There are two ways to apply for a patent:

1.  Write and file it yourself.  See this post:
https://patentfile.org/how-to-patent-an-idea/

2. Hire a registered patent agent or patent attorney to do it for you (average costs will be at least a few thousand dollars).  Search for people here:
