@frew Ah, I should have checked the top post! Nice that you get to work in it, anyway. Looks like a delightful course and your chair is fantastic.

@frew what are those tools on the windowsill? They look like they're made to carve shallow hollows?

@frew the action shot gives a lot of useful context! A few questions:
1. Is it comfortable?
2. I’m surprised at the upswept and out-twisted angle of the arms - but how is it to sit in?
3. This chair, like others I’ve seen, seems narrow at the back of the seat. Is it? Does it feel small?
4. Wow, the back is tall! I didn’t realize.(But don’t let me distract from you feeling proud of yourself - I’ll bet it feels great to sit in such a fine chair, that you made yourself!)

@narthur all good questions!
1. It is very comfortable, and we tweaked everything (back spindle location, angle, the rock, the height) to optimize this
2. I think this is the same question as 1 really; it sits great!
3. This is a good question. When I was sitting in the chair it didn’t feel narrow to me, *but*, many of the chairs in his shop were a little narrow for me. This chair is a little wider and has less saddling than some others. -

@narthur yeah one guy made his shorter for his wife. Another made it easier to get out of for his elderly mom.
