I'm so happy! Upholsterer mentor Rollin came by tonight to offer his critique of the barrel chair project I recently wrapped up. The exciting news is, my skill status has officially been upgraded from "amateur" to "enthusiast" and for me that's exciting!
Oh sure, there's a long way to go to get to the point where I could call myself a professional upholsterer, but, I'm getting better with experience, and quite frankly the quality of work I'm doing isn't bad, especially given the projects I've been working on have been rather complicated - although I am ready for something easy! With all of that said, I'm very much enjoying my time learning this craft and am looking forward to the next project that shows up on my doorstep.
