The sculpting is daunting at first if it is something you've never done. After a while, you begin to get the feel of the angle grinder and it is fairly easy to control. I finished my chair in December. Looking back, it is a good idea to spend some time fairing the curves of the transition between the legs and the seat. As I am sitting in my chair, I am discovering that the details during the sculpting are important, but really quite forgiving as you move from the rough shaping to the finer work. I look forward to your articles -- especially the chair as it was the same project I was making. Keep up the good work, Fred You are getting to the fun part of the chair.
