WiKi Seat write up...Ya"ll

Well we gotta write about our wiki seat. Here I go, It was defiantly a challenge but It was very interesting. I never really thought of how to actually build it. The seat girrllll don't get me started! That was defiantly what grinded my gears. It was like the seat had a mind of it's own. I have a construction background I am really good at building furniture but this seat was like nah man I am not going to do that for you. Than it was like yolo. I was stumped, than figured it out. But knowing where all of the little mistakes are I am my own worst enemy.

The legs were pretty easy I thought it would have been a lot harder but as i was saying it was the seat that gave me the most trouble. Measurements were kinda hard to figure out in the beginning but onceI got a little feel of the heigh and what was too high and what wasn't it got a lot easier.
Thinking back on it now some things I would change is taking this project a lot more seriously. I defiantly could have done a better job!, I mean it's good and all but just not the version in my head that I thought it could be. Having a furniture building back round making what I see in my head is what makes it all, The seat not coming out as well as I had hoped sucked a lot, I hated it but it's not too bad it does it's job. So all in all I would have changed how I thought about building it.
As well as the struggles I had building it I did learn somethings about myself, I am defiantly not a seat maker, tables,storage compartments,bench's yes but not seats or stools. But thats okay nothing wrong with that.

I am happy I made this for someone else, My twin she did choose the colour and design also stayed up with me till 1 am painting. It did feel good, But not amazing I am just that type of person.
On that point I am happy that I got it done that was great. I was more excited having and getting it done than actually giving it to someone. Seeing the final product was what got me happy. Building the seat did teach some new things but skills not really I already knew how to do everything.
 I probably went through the design process all in different steps. I still got it done. like yes! The steps were hard making it was hard painting it was hard stayed up till 1 am! Just to get it perfect even tho it kinda turned out not the best. It was all hard but I would do it all over again. It was really fun, I built mine at a friends house. So it was pretty fun.Being on the wiki seat website seeing other peoples wiki seat. I was like wow I wish I could get mine like that. It looks amazing .
That is my seat story not the best not the worst.
But tell me, what's your story?
