My first chair (for daughter)

For those who had read/commented on my first build thread, you’ll know i started building a chair to go with her loft bed and desk – http://professional-power-tool-guide.com/power-tool-forum/index.php?/topic/2189-daughters-loft-bed/

Well, I’m 99% done with the chair! I think I must have honestly spent 25+ hours on this thing! Mostly because I have never done mortice & tenon, dowelling or pocket screwing before this chair. If I had known it would take this long, I might have done it out of hardwood, but since I always planned to paint it to match her bed, I was happy with pine. I really want to convince my daughter to just let me stain it, but its hard to argue with a 5 year old … 😛

So its been a great learning experience! I’m feeling really proud of it at the moment, its actually more comfortable than our dining chairs! It should last her a long time.

Thanks for all the encouragement!

Nice job Dwain it looks great. I’d buy that thing even as it stands. You got the skills

That’s pretty damn good for any chair, much less your first.

Awesome job!
