* "Online Chair Caning, & Seat Weavers' Directory" tm Shout Out!

  *****  VIDEO UPDATE!  
 
* Video for "Squaring Up" "Rush" Chair Bottoms' using the "Goff Method" was completed this afternoon!
  I was informed today February 13, 2012 that the editing for the Video has been conpleted, mailing
  (from Arkansas) was done within the last few days so shortly I will be able to "Post" it on "You Tube"
  at long last.   This will make life easier for every "Seat Weaver" whom does "Rush" Chair Bottoms' on
  the planet
GUARANTEED!
  

Five Things That "Seat Weavers'" Cannot Recover In Life:
(1) The Stone ....... After It Is Thrown!
(2) The Word ....... After It Is Said!
(3) The Occasion ....... After It Is Missed!
(4) The Time ....... After It Is Gone!
(5) A Person ....... After They Die!
So use integrity!  Less of a burden than regrit!

                                       Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving What If (For Me)
       Recently I read a very interesting paragraph about how, & where to strip off old chairs, & it will NEVER be in my shop 
  again due to inhaling dust, mildew, etc. from an old chair(s) because of where, & how they may have been stored! 
       It will be done outside of my shop with maximum ventilation, & before I bring the chair caning, or seat weaving re- 
  storation into my shop to restore!  
       Coming from an attic, an old barn, a basement, or an out building may cause health problems which I did not bargain for 
  when I took in this or that chair caning or seat weaving restoration to do!
       IMPORTANT NOTE:  Dust Mask, & Gloves will be used ALWAYS during the strip off of old chairs etc.!

test162.jpg

       * If you have discovered, & are daily using the Chair Caning Lock Step Method TM that's absolutely fantastic!
       I will be teaching the Chair Caning Lock Step Method TM without the references/substitions so that it will
  (hopefully) not be so confusing to my Online Class as I did with MY STUDENT ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES!!!  

  They got it, & use it every single day!

                                                    * Signing Your Seatweaving! Smile
       "When I took off the old seats, I found that a little girl had signed her name before the Rush was put on", he said. 
  "I asked the man if her name had any significance, & it turns out it was an old maid great-aunt of his." Smile (smile)
      
"Since then, I've started putting my name, & the date inside of my work!  Maybe 100 years from now, when some-
  body takes my seat off, they"ll feel a connection with me, too." Smile

  ON SA TUR DAY (CLOUDY ???) JUNE 26, 2010 @ 8:48 AM


       We've got a couple of days before we begin our "A & P" 
  (Advertising & Promotion) series to "THINK", & "REFLECT" about
  those Ads we have (WITHOUT "PHOTO BUZZ") which some are
  "FREE", & some we (sadly) pay for from our hard earned Chair
  Caning, & Seat Weaving work from our Chair Caning,&  Seat Weav-
  ing Bussinesses!!!
       What is the "REAL VALUE" of an ad you have which is very
  difficult to "PITCH" to a "CRAFT EDITOR" or "REPORTER without
  "PHOTO BUZZ" in terms relating to the CRAFT NEWS MEDIA??? 
        The SELLERS' OF THESE ADS, of course don't bother to tell
  you that these ADS in "THE NEW ECONOMY' WITHOUT "PHOTO
  BUZZ" MAY BE OF LITTLE VALUE except to them for the money
  they get for these ADS WHICH MAY BE OF LITTLE OR NO REAL
  VALUE!!!
       Or are you simply satisfied with your ad without "PHOTO BUZZ"
  making it "PITCHABLE" to "CRAFT EDITORS', & REPORTERS' IN
  THE CRAFT NEWS' MEDIA!!!

A & P WILL WILL MAKE YOU RETHINK YOUR ADS!!!
  ON FRY DAY (A HOT & HUMID IN THE 90'S) JUNE 25, 2010 @
  8:09 AM EST

       * HEADS UP FOR AN UNBELIEVABLE READ TODAY ON THE 
  BLOG "COLD ANTLER FARM" TITLED "SPECKS IN THE
  DISTANCE"!!!  NOW...
       Read a very thought provoking paragraph yesterday about having
  your facts straight (absolutely no curves) when you PITCH your
  Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business Story to an Editor, or
  Reporter for publicity for your business!!!
       And what happens when you have curves in your PITCH concern-
  ing your Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business which may spell the
  end of the road for publicity for your business not just for the very
  first time but maybe for all time!!!
       * ADS WITHOUT "PHOTO BUZZ" GIVE YOU ABSOLUTELY 
  NOTHING TO PITCH because you have not made it "EASY" for
  the EDITORS' OR REPORTERS' to begin their story by "PEAK-
  ING" their interest with an interesting or unique Chair Caning,
  or Seat Weaving Project you (may) have done!!! 
       * REMEMBER THEY ARE VERY BUSY INDIVIDUALS!!!
       We will discuss this issue on a later "A & P" (Advertising &
  Promotion) Mun day: but I thought I would "SHARE" with you an
  extremely important fact about that ad you now have WITHOUT
  "PHOTO BUZZ" you now may choose to change so you can now 
  * "PITCH" your Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business!!!
       * This may not "GUARANTEE" you publicity for your Chair
  Caning, & Seat Weaving Business; but it certainly will give you the
  absolute very best advantage you can obtain humanly possible!!!
       *  THIS IS "WHY" THE ADS ON "ONLINE CHAIR CANING, &
  SEAT WEAVERS' DIRECTORY" ARE FORMATTED WITH "PHOTO 
  BUZZ" GIVING ADVERTISERS THE ABSOLUTE  MAXIMUM 
  "BANG" FOR THEIR BUCK!!!

  ON TWO'S DAY (CLEAN UP MESS DAY) JUNE 22, 2010 @ 8:02
  EST

       It's time (for the daily chore) to check the fluids in the '42 
  before we rock, & roll to take another baby step towards moving to
  the sticks, & a very different lifestyle than we now have in the city,
  which of course, will demand (not require) lots of work!!!
       Had a very hot humid day to complete another baby step 
  towards getting into a "Country Living" setting, & we finished taking
  that "Baby Step" today!!!  More "Baby Steps" to take though!!!
      Tomorrow we will be traveling in another direction delivering a
  lingering Wicker Sofa Restoration, Finally!!!
       Will take some photos on our travels, & perhaps share them with

MEDICAL ISSUES TO THE FORE FRONT!!!
  ON MUN DAY (PUTTING FAITH INTO ACTION) JUNE 21, 2010
  @ 12:37 AM N DA MORNING!!!

       It's going to be a busy week for me in more ways than one
  which will involve finishing the restoration on a Wicker Sofa, & 
  delivering it out of the area to Manakin Sabot, Virginia which is 
  west of Richmond, Virginia, having a machine shop do some work for 
  me on a forties Chevrolet Steering Box, empting our storage unit, 
  which means I'm one step closer to moving to the sticks in the 
  country, & most important of all is keeping my doctor's appoint-
  ment!!!
       I'm tired already just making the list, & thinking about it, & 
  the week will not really begin until tomorrow morning!!!
       I read a Blog everyday called Cold Antler Farm, & I never get
  tired of reading it due to the absolute word magic of its author!!!
  What a talent!!!
       Today was Father's Day (The 2010 Edition), & for the absolute
  first time in my life I really, really missed seeing, & visiting with my
  Dad!!!
       We'll start off the day taking some photos', & of course post-
  ing them on our W@RK 4 OUT @F AREA/STATE W@RK Page on
  this Website, & then finish up the Wicker Restoration with the very
  necessary prep work, & final painting!!!  Then another orphan piece
  of furniture will be on its way to its rightful owner!!!
       How personal do we want to get with a BLOG?  Time to draw a
  line in the sand on that issue!!!  And say ABS@LUTELY NO on the
  really personal issues, family, medical!!!
       Took a short trip to Richmond today to briefly visit my 95 year
  old aunt, & then took a side trip to the boneyard on my way home
  with absolutely no luck!!!  Will continue to look for an appropriate
  steering box for the trusty ole '42!!!
