dwain Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 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!
