How many of you have a chair or stool in your shop that you built or intend

Seems like the choice of one's design might say something about
the person who built it (sort of reminds me of tool boxes, but most readers
here
probably know more about them than I do--and chairs too, for that matter).

I'm the same poster that started a thread on hammers, levels, and squares.
I guess I am drawn towards simplicity. :-) I think I would design a
simple,
functional chair, striving to avoid a result that looked like it better
belonged
in the kitchen or dining room, but more improved than a spoke-shaved
stump...
It's sort of fun to think about.

Happy holidays,

Although I'm stqanding 90% of the time I use a fullly-adjustable
drafting chair in my shop whenever I want to sit. The drafting chair
broke 10 years ago but I found a welder to do the job for just $10.

I have built several chairs, but none for my shop. Certainly building
a chair is a big challenge--lots of strange angles, curves, wood
steaming, and the finished project will be subject to large forces.
Also, there are plenty of chair-building tools. I have not (yet)
attempted a Windsor chair, something I always wanted to build.
