24His first chair was a stool.
25It was an [uneven wobbly stool][] that would not support even forty pounds.
26"So my first chair is a broken stool" he said after nearly breaking his tailbone on the dirt floor.
27"Maybe I should start again but this time only with legs."
28He began again but this time only with legs.

30He typed up a note on how to make chair legs.
