YO ROBERTO!

So far, so good! Are we to think that you’re qualified to screw up the finish?

I’ll be waiting… and praying…

Nice work; you should be proud, and if you don’t toot your own horn a little, nobody else will.

OTOH, that through-tenon is right where one would want to set something liquid and tippy. It looks great and shows off the builder’s skill, but makes the chair less functional. Yes, I know Gustav S. did it that way.

(Just keeping you humble. )

"Okay, so I have more issues than the Popular Woodworking Magazine 2000-2009 back issue compilation disc" is a brilliant turn of phrase on many many levels. Good Job

Yes, you ought to be proud of that work. It looks fabulous!

Your relatives have nothing on my best Chinese fortune cookie saying: "Your success will astonish everyone."

Bob, seems your family are mostly pessimists…:-/

Chair looks good and there’s nothing wrong with taking pride with the work you did!

Cheers,
