400 hours, 3 broken chisels, and one very patient wife. 😅
My 72-year-old dad has been out in his garage every single morning at 5 AM since last October working on this. He refused to let anyone in the family see it until it was 100% finished. I walked out there today to drop off his coffee and found him just sitting in it, quiet as a mouse, soaking it in. He looked at me and said he finally made a chair "fit for his grandkids to read in."
