Some women go onto buying sprees and get shoes and handbags, I'd hate to see you suddenly get the urge to buy more tools or ... timber.. now that you have completed this huge project.

We're all here to support you mate and to say "Well done'.
(You have my number if you need to assistance...)

Greg poor fellow has just spent months in Labour (although not a hard at it he has most modern power tools) he should be kept bare foot and had at the bench. He how ever may need more wood, which I am sure you can supply

Scott a string line along those chair please just to double check I think I see discrepancies.


Hardest part was convincing his girls to carry the chairs from the work shop 3 floors below to the new veranda and then back down again so he can deliver them.

Well done Scott

Congratulations Wongo, that is a job to be truly proud of mate

Nice work Wongo

Looking smick mate.

Well done on the chairs and I see you have a few more things to do as you have stated.

I normally sit on a stood when I have to do some repetitive tasks.

Well done Scott

Just a hunch, Wheelin' but I'd guess any discrepancies are probably in the deck?

Great work Wongo, I can't even imagine taking that on.

Looking good Wongo. Have you kept track of the total man-hours on this project?

ajw

A lot.

I am doing it for the love of woodwork.

By the time I deliver them to their new home. I estimate it to be around 30 hrs per chair.

Fantastic job Wongo. You may think you've spent a lot of time on them, but IMHO you work very quickly.
Great stuff.

Wongo,
Your workmanship, design, patience and persistance are simply overwhelming. When I look at those chairs I start thinking in FWW words .... organic .... sculptural .... classic ... but no, you should have your own word so I've decided on Wongonese.
From now on anything of that class, to me, will be wongonese
well done mate,

That is so close to Wongoness.

They really look the goods Wongo!! Well done!!!

Wongonese isn't that what his mother used to say when he had hayfever or what he does now due to all the sanding dust.
