While I may not be attempting chairs tomorrow, whatever I build next will be done with a license to care more, to be and do better that I got from reading this journal. I understand "shop talk" in a whole new way. 

I'm glad that this inspired you. I hope that you aren't scared of making chairs forever they are difficult but everything that I learned in their making is worth it.

Remember building something is nothing but a bunch of simple steps. My first attempt on the prototype was rough and really bad. Three second was leaps and bounds better. The difference was i was able to identify those simple steps better. The templates i made were helpful but i could have made all 6 chairs with out, it would have just taken a bit longer.

Punch line prototypes are worth every penny in lumber they ended up using. Especially for a complicated item.

I haven't built any chairs yet. I have plans for a dining table (at the moment we have a picnic table, quite rustic), and before that's done I have to decide on what chairs to build. So many choices, and sometimes I want to go all Chippendale fancy, but then again, I want them done before the table wears out from old age (or I do haha).
