* "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

* ODDS, & ENDS!!!
  ON SAT UR DAY (HEAT GONE, PLEASANT) JULY 31, 2010 @
  8:37 PM EST

       * It has taken me several years to learn to simply ignore bad
  advise, poor advise, or the wrong advise given on internet forums,
  & just simply work on my owm Website, & always research the 
  facts 110% before I post them!!!
       * When I'm contacted by someone whom is searching for a
  Chair Caner, or Seat Weaver in another state I will without
  hesitation steer them to another directory, or do a quick internet
  search to be of help, or service to them!!!
       This is what all of us would want done for us, wouldn't we?
       I would certainly not want anyone wasting my precious time
  giving me bad, poor, or the wrong advise on a forum if they knew
  better, would you?
       * Thanks for stopping by, God bless, & CHEERS with a health
  drink!!!

CLEANING UP A MESS!!!
  ON FRY DAY (SUNNY DAY WITH CLOUDS HOPEFULLY MORE
  RAIN) JULY 30, 2010 @ 10:43 AM EST

       I never knew that you could amend a ticket from a State
  Trooper until an insurance company clerk let me know this little
  known secret which I'm positive very few consumers are aware 
  of or even know!!!
       With witnesses I"m in the process of setting the record
  straight!!! 
       Today I will begin writing three (3) short paragraphs about my
  36 year old Chair Caning, & Seat Weaving Business which has gone
  by the handle "COUNTRY SEAT WEAVERS" all of these years!!!
       And the absolute best part of it all is that I have been blessed
  to mentor the mentally, & physically challenged, & what a "REAL
  LIFE CHANGING' education they have given me!!!  I really, truly
  got the absolute best part of the mentoring, & I would do it all
  over again in a heart beat!!!

  ON WINDS DAY (SUN, CLOUDS, ?) JULY 28, 2010 @ 10:17 AM
  EST

       Recently I was asked by an "Antique Dealer" if I could bring
  "Samples" of my work to his shop to see, & evaluate so of course I
  said yes I would be more than happy to do so and...we got the
  account!!!
       But lugging around a hand cane chair, a machine cane chair, a
  rush bottom chair, & a splint bottom chair took my thinking in an
  "advertising direction" where my thinking had not gone past the
  standard "business card" which everybody uses!!!
       So I am in the process of developing a brochure card which will
  be a "business card" which also will include "photo buzz" so it will 
  whet the appetite of a potential client to get that chair caned, or 
  their seat woven!!!

  ON TWO'S DAY (A CLOUDY OVERCAST DAY) JULY 27, 2010 @
  9:37 AM EST

       Unlike yesterday morning when I had to get up earlier in the
  morning than usual, with gigantic Butterflies in my stomach, to face
  the unknown in a court of law for a Mun Day, today I awoke to  
  the calm serenty after the legal storm which had been going on 
  since March of this year!!!
       Sadly it's not over yet because now it my Legal turn to SUE
  for all things legal pertaining to the last five (5) months in court!!!
       It was a Classic David, & Goliath legal battle where I was 
  asked more than once to plead guilty to a charge of which I simply
  was not guilty!!!
       Now I'm back in my calm, predictible, serene world of Chair 
  Caning, & Seat Weaving with only chairs, not lawyers to deal with
  which I can more than easily figure out how to Cane, Fix, or
  Weave!!!

  ON MUN DAY (VERY QUESTIONABLE) JULY 26, 2010 @ 6:40 AM
  EST

       We will make a cardboard template today to begin completing
  the work on our turn of the century pressed back rocker!!!  Then
  we will deceide which type of bottom is appropriate, an upholstered
  bottom, a wooden bottom, a wooden bottom with a drilled pattern
  in it, or ?
       Makes life interesting, doesn't it?
       And...we will see how this post develops during the rest of the
  day!!!
       It could be a very BLUE MONDAY FOR ME BECAUSE...
       This morning was JUDGEMENT DAY for me in a court of law, 
  & I was more than a little bit nervous because I was appealing a
  lower court legal decision, & going up against one of the largest
  insurance corporations in the world...WITHOUT A LAWYER...
  AND WON!!!
       It was really simply a BLESSING in more ways than one for
  me which I will always be thankful for, & that's no joke!!!
       * Now back to my predictable tranquil world of Chair Caning,
  & Seat Weaving!!!

  ON SON DAY (& ANOTHER HOT ONE ON TAP) JULY 25TH, 2010
  @ 8:15 AM EST

       The other day I was asked a question by central Virginia's
  Sponsor of the "ANTIQUES ROADSHOW", whom has chosen 
  "COUNTRY SEAT WEAVERS'" to do all of their Chair Caning, &
  Seat Weaving Work, "How long does it take to Hand Cane A 
  "Hand Cane Chair"?
       My answer as usual was, "I really don't know I just know 
  that it is very time consuming, & takes what it seem like is "FOR-
  EVER"!!!
       So...the very next time I undertake the Caning of a Hand
  Cane Chair I will not forget to time the Hand Caning, & include
  the time outs also!!!  I probably take more time outs that it
  actually takes to Hand Cane the Hand Cane Chair!!!
