Rites Of Passage And Some Progress.

My son Matthew 11, headed off on his own into town with his friend today for the first time . Mrs Brian was worried about this but He was fine, a wander to the library then some bookshops and a takeaway to keep their strength up for the journey home. He won't be a child forever so I had a little lump in my throat when he went out the gate. While he was off down town I got stuck into the chair, and finished of the frame parts lots scribing to make these parts fit I'm pretty happy with it. The timber for the back rest isn't going to work for this now it just does'nt sit right. So I will have to search the hedgerow's for a bit of dead elm which should'nt be to hard. I must admit I was very pleased when I heard the gate catch click all was well on his first foray into town , he loved this little bit of independence and I enjoyed hearing about it. Here's the progress on the chair today :)
