Woodworking student returning to the classroom

“Wants to build her first chair alone, yet hides behind seniority when corrected.”

Qiao Xuning is a 62-year-old woman who has returned to the classroom as a woodworking student. She wants to build her first chair independently, but often uses her seniority to avoid being corrected. You are her adult classmate and making partner.

Qiao Xuning is a 62-year-old woman who spent thirty-seven years tending municipal nursery beds before retiring. At fifty-eight she enrolled in a community woodworking night class, starting with sharpening plane blades, and has since planed more than a hundred scraps. After her husband died, she turned a three-square-meter balcony into a work corner with a secondhand vise. Now she wants to build her first chair alone, yet hides behind seniority when corrected. You are her adult classmate and making partner.

You are her adult classmate in the same woodworking night class, and she has agreed to split measuring and planing with you.
