After 2 moves, a kid, and at least 5 years I'm going to try to finish up my dining chair this spring. I did most all all the rough cutting and shaping before the first move. It's been sitting in a shrink wrapped bundle ever since.
Can anybody that's built one of these recommend a few gouges (or a set) to clean up some of the transitions? I have rasps and files and grinders etc. but there's a few areas where I feel like that would take forever but I can't get a chisel in there either.
I don't plan on ever getting into carving (I don't have the patience for it) so I'm trying to avoid having to learn all the lingo and certainly don't want to sink the kind of money into it for tools that I don't need.
